C , August 21.?The declsion of Judge Biraooton in the United States Circuit Court in the hah#?? Zzzz it La?et?ra vm Died today. Langford Is the agent of the Richmond A Danville K. R. at Prosperity. He was arrested and held under the twenty-fifth section of the Dispensary liquor law for delivering to a consignee a keg of whiskey shipped from outside of I the Scale. The section referred to forbids any common carrier to transport, or any agent to deliver any package of liquor, which has not the official certificate of State Dispenser that they are for the use of tbe State Dispensary. The Railroad Company claimed that this section was contrary to the inierstata commerce u?i. ?k. * S A L a a- a a. - IBKO aiiu mo IUUILDDIIIU uuiaoiueai 10 me constitution of the United States. The Stats claimed that it was the exercise of such State police power as was bestowed by the ' Wilson law." Judge Sithonton's decision briefly synopsized is as follows: 'The twenty-fifth section of the Dispensary act makos it a misdemeanor for a railroad employee to deliver intoxicating liquors from his train, and this without requiring any knowledge on his part that the package contains intoxicating liquors, or that it is intended for sale. Iu every other instance mentioned in this section, including private carriers, and railroad and express companies, knowledge that tho intoxicating liquor is intended for snlo is expressly required. This is discrimination ngainst one class of persons?railroad employees?and is in conflict with the constitution of thir State, and so is not within police power, and. therefore, not within the provisions of the act of Congress known ns tho "Wilson act." "Tilts being the case, the clause of Section '2it of llio DisilCIISIirv mil ilmlnr nliiok ll>? petitioner was charged And arrested, is void under tlie interstate low mid fourteenth amendment and he must be discharged from custody." 'l'ho Slate will probably appeal to the United Stnlcs Supreme Court. The decision will cause the discharge of several railn ad agents in various parts of the Slate who have been arrested as Langford was. The railroad t eople claim that it virtually relieves them of r.l. restrictions in bringing liquor into tlie State and delivering it.? Cor. Culm/thiii Journal. CONFEDERATE VETERANS. La\ton, S.

Dear Sir : We want to organize a csiup of Cnnfeduialc Veterans at Glenn Springs, and I write to ask if there is anything in the Constitution and Uy-Laws of the on nip at Spartanburg that would prevent us from organizing local or sub-camps.

There is nothing in the Constitution or lly-l.aws of tho Spartanburg ('amp of Confederate Veterans which would prevent the organization of local cauips.

When the reorganiznton was ntl'ccted, with a capital stock ot' SIO.<M>0, lknik Commissioner Charles F. Johnson visited Harden City and made an examination. lie was shown $10,000 in cash, and that showing permitted the bank to begin business.

He is about fire feet three inches high, has long black hair, a little gray, but too fine for an Indian. He goes bare headed and bare footed, and looks very dirty. He lives in a very shabby bouae, but has a great many patients. When we got to the Dr's(?) there were about thirty patients waiting to be examined I em set free to condemn a man that ovcry one gives such praise, so I shall not give my opion at present.
