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.

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. We publish Mr. Layton's
"letter and our answer for the benefit of the
whole country :
CltAS. Pettx.
' New Oki.ea.ns, La., Aug. 8, 1893.
"Capt. U. 11. Brooks, Columbia. S. C.
'.My Dear Comrade: Your favor of
recent date to hand, and 1 thank you very
much for the interest evinced towards the
United Confederate Veterans' cause
"All requisite papers have been forwarded
to the party you mentioned and I should
appreciate the address of any others whom
you think likely to take this matter actively
in hand.
"We have 350 camps to date, with papers
out for the organization of 100 more, and
with such prospects it would uot be a hard
matter to augment the number in sight (450)
to 500 camps by the time of the reunion.
i lavor flie organization of several camps
in a county, as by that means headquarters

any time, please let me know. Fraternally,

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.

?Kansas City, Mo., August 10.?Warrents
were sworn out today for the arrest of President
J. G. Harragli and Cashier K. C. Sattlec,
of the defunct Kansas City Savings

They arc charged with grand larceny
in rccuiviug deposits, knowing the hank was
insolvent. Pirmgli is supposed to be in

At a meeting of representative laboring
men at Atlanta last night, resolutions were
adopted providing that Atlanta workingmen
would patronize only home industries. They

JteaY" For the first time since the mcmor
ble year 187G, last Friday, wc broke loo
from our editorial moorings and drift
about 15 miles into the country, down
Lockhart Shoals. We were cordially reco
nized by the astonished citizens along t
road?one or two, however, attempting
detain us until they could hear from I
Babcock, of the Lunatic Asylum. The ti
was considerably more than our old ban
had been used to for nearly 20 your*, ami
jumping toothache "struck us'' toon aft
we arrived at the residence of our old friei
Mr. J. C. Farrar,
"A fine old Carolina gentleman,
One of the olden time,"
and we had about three days experience
the extremes of what may be truly call
"mingled pleasure and paiu."
We, however, "took in" all the points
that grand section of our county, particular
the immense amount of work already do
toward building the magnificent Cotton M
on those great Shoals, and hope to give the
to our readers next week.
We saw but one thing to cemplaia of
the whole trip, and that was the bad con<
tion of the road on Mt. Tabor route. Tli
is a disgrace to the County and an injui
to the property owners on the road.

Jpay* We would inform Mr. Whitman tb
when we said last week we "are renneat
lo announce" what we did about the spe
ing at the barbecue at Lockhart Shoals,
was literally the truth, which he seems
doubt, and further, we were requested
send bill for publishing the announceme
to the person who sent it to us. With us
was a pure business transaction, and
doubt, if the party objecting to polith
speaking on that occasion, thinks it of su!
cient importance, he will give his reasons
the public. The politician's clap-trap
"corporations against the people," is ft
losing its effect upon the people, for th
arc opening their eyes to discover the ft
Hint corporations controlling industrial e
tcrprises and the people must move in hi
inony fide by side, each respecting and u
holding the interests of the other, if tb
expect to prosper. It is about as impossit
for the people to be prosperous witlio
incorporated industries, as for such indt
tries to prosper without the people. A
archists and agrarjanists are the only pn
ties now attempting lo fool the peeple I
talking about corporations and capitalie
grinding the people and accumulating t
much property. Wc are all, from thelowc
servant to the head of every house or famil
working for capital?money?and there
not one of those patriotic, sclf-sacrificii
lovers of the "dear, depressed, down-trodd
people," who would not jump at an oppt

id Sigoor Uosco and his wife gave three entertainments
at Nicholson's Hall this week.
Rev. John M Carlisle.
of We were glad to inset on our streets last
Saturday afternoon, Rev. John M. Caelisle,
looking well nnd hearty. Mr. Carlisle filled
^ the pulpit in the Methodist church Sunday
^ morning, much to the gratification of the
congregation, over which he was Shepherd
.jj for years.
im W&T Bast Sunday the Congregation of
the Marion Street Methodist church, of Coon
lumbia, tried, found guilty and expelled Mfli
Jackson Cnrtledge, one of the dispensers
at appointed for that city, under the dispensary
ry law, for violating'article Idl3 of the churoh
lntr tcltlph roftflu na fnllntro
"Let nil of our preachers and members
abstain from the manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquors to be used as a beverage,
and if nny shall engage in such manufacture
lft^ or sale let the discipline be administered as
in the case of immorality."
8<* After reading the above article. Rev. Mr.
ak Elwell said that he would leave the subject
it with the church for their action; that they
Jo had to determine whether or not Mr. ('artledge
was selling liquor to be used as a bev,0
erage.
nt Mr. W. F. Williams took the floor and
it said there was no use to attempt to dodge
no the issue. That they all knew that Mr.
Cartledge wss selling liquor as a beverage,
ca' and the fact that he was selling it for the
Hi- State was no excuse. lie said that
to Dispensary liquor would make a man
drunk as quick as barroom liquor and
that he knew that Mr. Cartledge sold
l8t liquor to men who are habitual drunkey
ards and who are seen reeling through
ict the streets in drunkenness day by day. He
n knew of two cases which he could prove if
necessary. Ho therefore moved that he
vr* be declared as acting in violation of the
p- church law.
ey The vote was taken rising and was unanij)e
mous. Mr. Elwell then stated that'it re*
mained for them to say what penalty should
lUt attach, whether he should be expelled or
is- only suspended for the time that he coniin0
ued to. engage in the business. Another
r vote expelled him summarily, one of the
members stating that they had just as well
V sit down on the thing once and for ail.

00 Mr. Elwell then stated that JJrother Kirk!st
land would be tried on next Friday niglft for
y( the saine ofTence. He said that he would
. be tried by the committee appointed for the
>H purpose, but as Mr. Kirkland asked that the
trial be held publicly, Ins wishes would be
on granted and the public wou'd be at liberty

himself.

? *r- Dots From Trough ShoalsTrouoii
Shoals, Aug.?The weather the
past week has been hot and dry and your
correspondent has been too close at business
to take any notes for the Times.
A groat many of our boys and young
ladies took advantage of the cheap excursion
rates on the 8th inst., and had a lovely
trip to Asheville.
The machine men have arrived here and
commenced putting up the machinery in the
new mill.
Mr. Judson Owens and Gilliam Fowler,
while working in the rock quarry here and
tampering with some wet fuse in some way
it exploded nnd ignited a keg of blasting
powder, and blew them both up, severely
burning them. Drs. Jefferies and Walker
were promptly summoned and did all tkey
could for them, but their recovery is very
doubtful. Both lost their wives last summer
and each have a family to support.
We are glad to hear suoh good reports
from the crops. They have not been better
in many years. As the cotton pioking season
is near at hand we would advise the
farmers to handle their cotton as nice as
possible, for it is to their advantage. Also
wrap well. Put three pieces of bagging
instead of two. It don't cost but very little
more, or if it did the hncuriocr will tmv fur
itself.
Thcro is from 12 to 20 pounds pulled off
from most of ilie cottou opened here and
carried to the wnsto house, that never gets
to a bolt of cloth. Who pays for that! The

and fast ginning.
Mr. Editor, please help me some on this
advice, I know it is very essential.

A CARD
Mr. Editor:?The patrons of ycur paper
as well as the publio in general, nro no
doubt, aware of the fact that I closed out
my buiness at this p'neo in December last
for the purpose of entering the gospel ministry
; and in order the better to prepare
myself for the responsible duties attaching
to that high ofhee, 1 entered the Seminary
at Louisville, Ky.
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.
Yours, very truly,
W. D. Bewlet.
Why It Was
Jonksvillk, S. C., Aug. 20, 1893
To Editor Union Times :?Will you allow
space for a personal explanation to my
friends who were at Lockhart Shoals Saturday,
and to whom I was compelled to give an
indefinite answer when asked whether I was
going to give them a speech on that occasion
: I went prepared to make a speech
and I went under the promise to do so being
requested by Uoo of the gentlemen who gave
tho barbecue.
Why it was subsequently announced by
you, as Editor, that the program as t? speaking
bad boen ohaoged I do not know, more
(ban you say you did it by request. That
the gentlemen giving the barbecue were not
responsible for this seeming discourtesy I
was assured by one of their number. They
were given the privilege cf the grounds for
that occasion, but afier their arrangements
were made the program published by them
as to Mr. Fowler and myself Bpeaking was
objected to by tho Persident of the Lookhart

was told. Why? Is it corporations ayaintt

Oa., Aug. 10.?Another open air meeting of
unemployed workingmen was held tonight

import labor were denounced nod several
speeches bordering on anarohy were
made. J. B. Oxburn, a labor organizer, advised
the crowd to demand work or money

laborers would knew by next Saturday.
Kesolutions were passed calling for a boycott
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis

on account of the removal of the Westorn

men were callod upon to refase to bay goods

Asbury Notes. ^
Our section of the county is truly a highly hi
favored one. The seasons have been all (hat
we could ask, and our prospects for an
abundant harvest of cotion. corn, peas, potatoes,
etc., were never brighter. We never w
had better coru and cotton, and if the mar- 01
ket is reasonably fair, vre hope to see the 111
farmers generally free from debt at the close 01
of the year.
The one great need of our county, Mr. r|J
Editor, is that the farmers may become in a
more prosperous condition, and the means |e
lies within the reach of every energetic
practical tiiler of the soil. Let him quit
trying to raise cotion to buy all the necessaries
as well as the luxuries of life. Let bim m
cease thinking that only corn can feed his ai
horses and mules, and raise his own meat, to
Some of us can provo otherwise, we have is
known for some time that rye, corn and millet
could be grown advantageously, but we
have never found out from practical experi- th
enoe until this year that sorghum cane is one h<
of the best and cheapest crops that can be' ai
grown. 1 have fed on it almost exclusively, E
for the last s:x weeks, aud my mules were
never in belter condition.
8. H. Liltlejohn, near Paoolct, who runs a at
dairy of fifteen or twenty cows, declares it a N
most excellent food fur milch cows, if run ti
through a cutter, and cut two or three inches
long.
We can plant the different varieties of sor- gi
gum cane and use it four months in the year, it
I am glad to see that several of my neighbors
have planted sorgum as a forage crop, and
tbey will testify to its great value. One acre u
of cane can be made with half the work re- u
quired for an acre of corn, and will go as
far as five of corn.
Let some one else who has used cane as a tl
forage crop, also give his experience.

Intellectual power exhibits itself under

There are many kinds of boys and girls in

e "Cants" fail in everything.
We feel a profounder reverence for a boy

The true teacher is one of the four great
tiers whose wisdom increases with his

If there be one thing upon this earth that
ankind love and admire better than

i look the devil in the face and tell him he

Let us educate the wholo man, the head,
