Ciia'oa wiiiew I >Hi proceed to announce without besita'ion or delay. 1. The motion wae to qnaah the indictment because, first, the Aet provided no {uinlshment for sailing liquor without a ioeuse. 1 may say, in passing, that the words "without a license," contained in the m ?. . 1 1 .1. _ PrM COUill, urr iiiern pui|>iu?ngv, nuu iuv offense charged in that of selling liquor. At common law crimes are divided into two c asses, namely, ^ r/ro/a in te and mala j/rohibita. To illustrate, wc have no statute declining minder to he a crime, or rape, or arson, or buig'ary. These crimes are described and puuisiiment provided for thein. They belong to ilio class described as mala in ?t. When the commission of sri act is prohibited by statute, it t e'ongs to the class of mala prohibit'/. The commission of an Act prohibited by rtatiuo is an offense bocnu?e it is u viola1 ion of law. Tito offense chaig.'d is prohibited by the Dispensary Act, and thus to sell liquor becomes a violation of law, and is, therefore, an offense. No offense creaied by statute is a felony unlo-* it is so declare Therefore the selling of liquor in violation of Beet on ti of tho Dispensary Act is a misdemeanor, and is punishable, if it it by any penalty provided in said Act, then under the Srovisioiis of tho ststuto, Bee ion 2053, evised StHtutes : "Section -CO.". in case of legal conviction, where do punishment is provided by sta ute, _ the Court shall award such sentence ns is to tbv coin nr. n usage and prae . lice In this state, according to tho nature of the offenso and not repugnant to tho Coust tutlon." 1 am, tiicrefi.ro, "f the opinion, and s HOW, Hint me Miense n? cixirgmi is [miuixm able uwlcr llio section I have ju?t quoted 'J.

Ami Ike argument unlit this biancii is concerned cliietly wit It tin purpose nf iIto Act, ami tlio question as li tlio police power of tlio Stale. There seems to ho huino confusion regardinfr 'lit* important iliMtinclion bolwoon tin Federal Constitution ami tlio Stale Const itution. 'l'lioy tire essentially d liferent in lltcii tint tiro. The Constitution of tlio Unitei Stales confers upon Congress certain well defined powers, ami such oilier powors_^lj On the other hand, (ho C institution of Sou'It Carolina bestows generally lego-dative p wcr upon tlio (Jencral Assembly with very few limitations; anil therefore, upon an issue regarding tlio constitutionality of an Act of tlio lie tie ml Assembly of tlio State, tlio questio i is : '-Has power to legislate upon the subject matter of tins Act been withhold by the Stale Constitution V' On this point 1 have hero an excellent authority which I shall read : ' "The pooplo of a Stnto, in creating ty their organic law a legislative department ! government, confer upon it the whole it their inherently sovere gn ami unenntrol'i <1 power of legi latioti, except in s fir as they liino delegated this power in respeel to certain rest net ions io the Con ress of il United Slates, an I except also in mi i n- n< they coiiteiup naneously impose clucks and limits upon the legislative nutliot it v. Hence the Levis'at ure ol' a State may < nacl any law (net infringing upon tlio < thee departments.) of any ehaiaeter or i n any subject, units* it is prohibited, either 111 cxpic.-s loniH or by necessary iiiipliealien, in the (' i i-iii'ii on of llit United Slates or of that S ate. In other words, the o<-hhiititti< ns are to he c nsuietcd ns limitations upon the l"gislotive power of the State, not ns grants power." (3d Am. and ling. Kncyc. of l.nv, 089.) in note two to the above quotation occurs th > following : ' The distinction between the United States Constitution and the State Constitution is, that the former confers upon Congress certain specified powers only, while the latter confers upon the Legislature id '"^is'attvc potvi. In tite one ease, the powets specitieilly granted can only he exercised; in ?lio other, all legislative powers not prescribed." (tilling People vs Klagg, !(> i*., 401 ! "age vs, Allen, >">8 Pa. Stat 1538.) Applying the doctrine just <ju ted, which must lie recognized as round doctrine, the unconstitutionality of the Uispensary Ac' must he made to appear from some limitation contained in our Siato Constitution tfsctf upon the power of the tlener il Asscm bly io enact such a law. > such limitation has been pointed out to me. nor am I aware of any such limitation either express or implied. Even if tho power of the (ieneral AsscmMy to enact the Dispensary law couhl be derived only from its police power, there can be 110 question that under that power t( would have ample authority t? restrict the sale of, or tho traffic in liqu r. Tho State has frequently done so in the past by slut utcs in ended to regulate and rcstiirt the trallic in liquor. without quc.-tion as to its right and authority so to do. This Act declares in its title that eueh is its purpose: ''An Act to prohibit.tlio manufacture and sale," etc , "except as herein provided." And its provisions undertake to accomplish that very thing by numerous limitations, such as restricting 1 he places at which liquor is to be sold ; the hours at which it is to be so'd : the rersons to whom it shall be unlawful t; sell liquor; the chavactcr of the persons by whom it is to he sold ; the not selling on credit ; the j rAiibition as to drinking on the premises ; the limiting the amount to he sold to purchaser*; the written applicat u n signed by each purchaser, and other rest run ions that need not be mentioned here. It appears upon the face of the Dispensary Act, as it stands upon the statute book, that 1 he purpose and primnry object of those who passed it was to diliiln -hed the -.ale :i .<I consumption of liquor, n*;d to iieerea.se the evils which are believe J to tesuii Jryin the WW 11 liquor traffic, for the |>ubl!c good. And I feel bound to say from my own observation that the Act seems to be accomplishing lint bencficient object. On this ground, an it appears to me, it ia without doubt a proper exercise of the police power of the fifate. It has ben learnedly argued to lay that the purpose of the Act was to rsi?e revenue. Hut it is to be collected from the Act itself that the raising of revenue is only incidental to the main purpose of the Act, which, as J k>? ?! ?? . ? kt'.i, ia to restrict ami regulate the sale of and traffic in liquor. And, as I understand the Chester cues, ex rel. Hoover and ex ret. droeeobels, our Hupreme Court has already decided that the . Act in question ia an Act to regula'e the aale of liquor. In these Cheeter cases our Supremo Court has said : "Having reached this conclusion that the said Act (the Dispensary Act) "being in effect an Act to regulate the sale of sprirituous liquors, the power to do which ie universally recognised, it is quite clear," eto. (17 8. K. Hup. 760.) Most of the argument against the constitutionality of the Dispensary Act made before me, and I may say elsewhere, seems to he directed more to the wisdom of the Act than to the power of the Oencrnl Assembly to pass the Act. The question is one of power and not of policy. As to the wisdom or unwisdom of Acts of the (Jencral Assembly t he courts liavo notliing to do. That is a question for tlio people. It is proveibial that ours is a government of the people, by the people and for the people , and it is for ???'>? 1 l?u tl>sa I. illni hnv to rtirrttnl mi* "1" I'VUJ.IV -J ?..w ? taken in legislation when they nro satisfied tlint such mistakes have been ma'lo by their representatives, nn<l not for the courts.

This being true, the circle made by > the man around the tree encloses that made r- by the squirrel nrouod the tree, and conse quently the man lias gone around the squirn rel.' Viewed in this light it matters little n whether the motiou of the squirrel be around I. the tree or up nud down it. it is practically ' aud logically the same, simply because the 'f man lias placed himself at every poiot of the e compass from the squirrel, nn<l therefore '* has gone around it. but, on tlie other hand, ' if the arg'imeut prevails that the relative ' positions of the inan au<l the squ'rrcl are 1, not changed by the motion of each, then the n mechanical conclusion is thnt the man ba< outgone around the squirrei.

TSIBu1U TO OKPABTXO WOJtTH M MI8S ELLA WHITLOCK. 7? w October the 16lb, 1893, the sad iotelli- j, , gence reached me of the death of my ? teemed ftiend and Sister, Miss Ella Whit- er lock, ehich took place at her father's hoar MsLat labor, Luton County, 8. C. D( Miss El a, youngest daughter of Mr. and 8|1 Mrs F. O. Wh tlock, fas born In Chtster County, 8. C., Sept. 2'<th. 1868. There, in a rural home, with kind and indulgent a parents, she pa?sed the days of her girl- <v| hood. She there received that early train- |r ing of the mind which proved to be a well 8|| laid foundation for mental culture. There, in 1875, at the very tender age of 12 summers, she professed faith in Christ and was, g# by the Rev. L. C. Hinton, received and y* baptised into the fellowship of the Beaver Creek Baptist Church, Chester County, of v which she remained a consistent member until her withdrawal to unite with the l'bilippi Church, Union Co., in 1888. Soon after the settlement of her Father in y Union County site entered the Greenville Female College, from which she graduated in June 1882. After her graduation she took a l'ost Graduate Course in Richmond D Female Institute. Richmond. Va. She also FI spent screral months in New York City, w perfecting herself in drawing an I painting, In for which she had an especial fondness. A at number of beautiful scenes and excellent G portraits hang to-day upon the walls of the T! family homestead, showing tlie high degree | of excellence to w hich she had attaiued in this special art. | Completing her course of study she entered upon the noble wcr!: of training lite minus 0'| | of others, an avocation for which she was | highly qualified, both in mind and heart. i For some years she taught near her Father's ^ L home. January, 1890, she took a position ( as Assistant to l'rofessor Dnrgan, in tho = ( Gatluey City High School. She also assis'ed ( l'rofessor F. C Hicksoa, when lie succcedel Prof. Dar^uti au Pi'itivtfMtl vf tLw wwmw ' * ' Roth of these brethren spoke to the writer W of her superior fitness for the position of \ 1 Teacher. The Fall of 1891 sho assisted Miss Lancaster in her school, located at _ ' Oxford Miss. From Oxford she went to u Muskeg:;, T*uii... Territory, where she 1 taught for some mouths. She then joined her brother and sister in Fort Smith. Ark. It was here that she received the news of ' the atHiction in the family of her brother in1 law, Mr. \V. A. Moorhead, at Mt. Tabor, I and rctumcl to South Carolina. Upon her I 3 arrival home, Aug. 5th, she found her v nephew \V. A. Moorhead, Jr.. a bright and ^ I promising liny of l(j summers, suffering from an uttnek of Typhoid Fever. She took the II place of the nfllicted mother and ten lerly watched over liini until he was called tip higher, September 9th. From this home of sorrow she went to her fnilior's homo, to aid iii nursing her first j cousin, who was nls> suffering from hu ? t attack of fever. She was there seized with ( tlie same form of fever Sept. 2otli, and after ^ p throe weeks of bitter yet patient suffering ^ her gentle spirit passed into the better land, October lltli, 1803. March the 10th, 1880, I assumed the [m Pastoral care of tho I'hilippi Church, thon ^ a little band, meeting in a school houso near the residence of brother IV. A. Moor' head. On this, my first visit, I met Miss lilla. She was there deeply interested in ^ the work of tho Sunday school and the t church, ller gentle, yet womanly beariug I made a deep impression upon me. She seemed to be unconsciously working in 1 the lead. Working with her as her l'astor and learning to know her in the several relations of life demonstrated the correctness j, of my first impressiou In the Sunday j a school and in her church connection she (j jq was loved and honored by all. Her nssoci., ates in the Master's work sought lio.'opinion j II on nlmost every subject, and wheu received c y they treated it with marked respect. She i s. was zealous in her efforts to secure^ lb* ii imildinf in which.'1 I " which her body is now reso,),,,, lo am)') | niHsed by the Church and tin. Juit'y, .1 ? but in her influence for goo | she will yet live and speak. 1 have never known an l her of such tender years who exerted such a wholesome itilliieucc upon the social j j, and moral relations of a community, j In the home she was so tender, loving and obedient as a daughter, yet Father and s Mother trusted her an I so loved to do her I honor, ller brothers and sisters delighted , f? show her love an I esteem. She was the tigiit, joy ami center of tlio hopes if Iter e home. I he family will sa" : "No one cm take the p'nee of KUa." In the circle of her friends her presence was always inspiring. She p ssesscd an nuiinhlo disposition, ^ ' evi n temper, sweet spirit, kind y feeling, coupled with a profmnd respect for the ^ e feelings and wishes of others. A tnoro fie- " vout unselfish Christian 1 never knew. She F i drank deep from the well of Salvation. She knew her Master's will and d-d it. She ' could forget herself in Iter earnestness f>r the Salvation of others. Somo of the sweetest ^ relig ons conversations of my life were held with her. Knowing that she live 1 Christ, I ' know that Christ was her safety in doth. "Sweet be her memory.-' 0, ! Mourning relatives and friends, could she \ speak to y. it, she would say, "weep not, ! but conic up higher." May .God's grace 1 sustain you 1>. C.
