SECTION 26 OF THE DISPENSARY LAW DECLARMB UNCONSTITUTIONAL. aktbuht cam orpbr whiskey and davk it pel1verkp without trouble i'rom ti1k officers. Greenvili.r, S. C., August 21.?The decision of Judge Siniooton in the United Btates Circuit Court in the habeas corpus case of Langf?rd was filed today. 1 angford is the agent of the Kichmond A Danville K. R. at Prosperity, lie was arrosted 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 the 8tate. The section referred lo 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 interstate commeroo laws and the fourteenth amendment to tue constitution of the United Btates. Tbe State claimed that it was the exercise of such 8tate police power as was bestowed by the ' Wilson law." Judge Sifhonton's decision briefly synopsitcd is as follows: "The twenty-fifth section of the Dispensary act makes 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 iotended for sale. In every other instance mentioned iu this section, including private carriers, and railroad and express companies. knowlfidirn Itinl ilio R?? , O" "T,U1 is intended for sale is expressly required. This is discrimination against one class of persona?railroad employees?and is in conflict with the constitution of this State, and so is not within police power, and, therefore, not within tbc provisions of the net of Congress known as the '-Wilson act." ' This being the case, the clause of Section 25 of the Dispensary act, under which the petitioner was charged and arrested, is void under the interstate law and fourteenth amendment and he must be discharged from custody." The State will probably appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The decision will cause the discharge of several railroad agents in vnrious parts of the State who have been arrested as Langford was. The railroad i coplc claim that it virtually relieves them of all restrictions in bringing liquor into the State and delivering it.? Cor. Columbia Journal. ?? m CONFEDERATE VETERANS. Layton, S. C., August 11, 18V3?Capt Chas. Petty,? Dear Sir: We want to organize a cttnp of Confederate Veterans at Ulenu Springs, and 1 write to ask if there is anything in the Constitution and By-Laws of the camp at Spartanburg that would pre vent us from organizing local or sub-camps. There arc a great mauy old soldiers who prefer to joiu a local camp, who can not get to Sparianlmrg often. 1 suppose that most of the old soldiers names are enrolled nt Spartanburg. Would that prevent them from joingiug a sub-caiup? The ndvauiages of a local organization, 1 think, are many, 'lliey can be better looked after, and meet ofiener, and greater interest will be taken. Their deaths can be noted, a short history eau be given of their lives and deeds, both iu war and pence, and published. We ought not to let them die and pess away without honorable mention. There are not so many of us now but what special mention or notice ought to be given when one passes away. I'loase give me your opinion as early as possible. We want to perfect and organize during tho leisure time. A. B. Laytom. There in nothing in the Constitution or By-Laws of the Spartanburg Camp of Confederate Veterans which would prevent the organization of local camps. The fact that a Confederate's name is on the roll of the Survivors' Association does not mean that he belongs to a camp. They are distinnt vrg.ntMtuus. moy might b? merged Into oue. Whenever there can be secured 16 to 30 veterans in a community let a cnnip be formed. It is very desirable that they should be so located as to be in reach of every soldier. The following letter from General Moorman to Captain Brooks, of Columbia, will give important information on this point.

An Uut.r Bank Faii.i iie.?Topeka, Knn., Aug. 19.?One of the most dieostrous and >mplcte bank failures that has occurred in Kansas is that of the Finney County Farm rs' Bank. It will not be able to pay moro linn 25 per cent, of its deposits, and, in lie opinion of State bank Commissioner Bredenlhal, its officers should be arrested and prosecuted for swindling. The bank is the successor of the Finney Company National Bank, which when in its failing condition last winter was converted into a State bank. When the reorganization was affected, with a capital stock of $10,000, Bank Commissioner Charles F. Johnson visited Garden Ciiy and made an examination. He was shown $10,000 in cash. and on that showing permitted the bank to begin business. After he had returned to Topeka, as it now appears, a lot of Hie worthless paper of I lie national bank was substituted for (lie cash, and the bank was looted in the most method ical fashion by its officers, Hard times hid nothing to do with it. ? - ?

While there my health became impaired to puch-a degro* tWrct 1 yrmn forced tO abandon my etuMies. Since that time my health has improved somewhat, but convinced that a life of confinement given to study would prove deleterious to my health I have concluded that it would be the part of wisdom for m'e to abandon my studies, at least until my health is permanently restored, an 1 seek a business of secular character. In reaching this conclusion, however, it will be seen that I do not abandon the idea of preaching the gospel, but earnestly hope that 1 may be able to do so in the near future. Mr. Editor, I have deemed it expedient that I should make this statement, in justice to the cause 1 represent, as well as to myself ; and while it is a matter of profound regret to me that I am forced to take this step, I feel just as honest in this conclusion as 1 was ia disposing of my business to enter the ministry. 1 feel sure that those who know me best will credit me with being candid in the conclusion I have reached.

The editor has waited patiently for the ntributors to the column, promised by rotal teachers. Ladies and gentlemen let hear from you. Intellectual power exhibits itself under ro distinct forms?strength and force?each >ssessing peculiar qualities and each perct in its own sphere. Strength is typified ' the oak, the rook the mountains. Force ibodies itself in tho cataract, the tempest, o thunderbolt. There are many kinds of boys and girls in e world, but there - are three kinds that tscrve special mention. They have been lied tho "Wills," the "Wonts" and the Jants." The "Wills," accomplish everying, the "Wonts," oppose ererything, and e "Cants" fail in everything. We feel a profounder reverence for a boy an a man. We never meet a ragged boy the road without feeling that we owe him salute, for we know not what possibilities ay be buttoned up uuder his coat. Poverty is uncomforiable, as we can testify; it nine times out often the best thing that m happen to a young man is to be tossed rcrboard and compelled-to sink or swim for imself. In order to have success in life, iu may orthy success, we must resolve to carr^ in tr work n fullness of knowledge?not erciy a sumcicucy, oui more tnan a suffieucy. The true teacher is one of the four great tiers whose wisdom increases with his >wcr, and whose spirit grows greater and ndercr as his triumphs are multiplied. If there be one thing upon this earth that ankind love and admire better than lothcr, it is a brave man?a man who dares i look the devil in the face and tell him he a devil. Let us educate the wholo man, the head, ie heart, tho body ; the head to think, the sari to feel and tho body to act. Every m short of this is a failure in our work.? DITOn. The best way to find out tho truth about tytliing is to commit the work to time, othing can be accurately discovered at the mo of a disturbance. It is perhaps fortunate that most of our reat men have left no descendants to shine t the lustre of a great name. ? ?? The possession of great intellectual powers sually carry with it coutempt for mero ex rnal show. For the noblest man or woman that lives lere remains a conflict. There is a fellowship among the virtues by hich one great generous passion stimulates nother. If the power to do hard work is not latent, is the best possible, substitute for it. Things don't turn up in this world until imebody turns them up. One of the precious mysteries of sorrow is iat it finds solace in unselfish thought. ? ? Charaoter is the joint product of nature nd culture. Most of our troubles are cowards if we ice them bravely. Those who deserve nothing have no right > complain at anything. Discretion is not so much indicated by ?V?P mftlrincr miololrn au Km ' - , .... { > ? uiidiHBV) cao WJT UOTVi trjlCUl* Ig it. Tho highest oviJonce of a gentleman is liown in him who combines a woman's gen.encss with a man's oourage. When wo bury a fault we ought not to isit the grave too often. Those who rebuko a private fiult openly, etray it rather than reprove it. Hundreds of people can talk for one who an think, but thousands can think for one rho can see. If we want to be snre of a blessing when 'e pray we should ask God to bless those 'ho are our enemies. Those politicians, etc,, who denounce napiil as a curse are anxious to have the curse ome home to them. If we labor for God's cause as wo ought; e will never look at the olook to see if it in't time to quit. The lessons of history are rarely learned y tho authors thomselves. Everybody has lost more or less during iese hard times, but if we bave kept our tanhood and womanhoood wo are still rich. There is nothing so easy to believe as a leasing lie about oumlves. Every timo God's promises are tested imebody's faith is made stronger. Our vaca ions usually begin on a gold Mis, but eud with a silver panto. Forgiveness is arose without a ihorn. We are not apt to criticise the oxtravasnce of others if we are made the forward artakcrs thereof. To sork responsibility is a dangerous usiness, to shrink from onto is more er less o. Ignorance has no part in life's j>T?; but iucated virtue and truth find life fbll of leasuros. There are many men in the church whose ives never suspect them of being religious. A pound cf pluck is worth a ton of luck. History is the unroll# f sorolI of prophecy. Correspondence of the Tints. Kaws From Forth Paoolat.
