JUDGE WALLACE'S DI8PEN8ARY ACT I? DECISION. The f.-l'oaitig is the full text of Judge Wallace's decision in tho ca<e of (lie b'latc vi. John O'Dunnoll, delivered at Anderson last week: The question us to the constitutionality of the Dispensary Act has been much discussed in the State, and has developed consideiaMe diversity of opiniou in regard to it. Some able and lrnrucd lawyers hold one opinion, aod others equally as able and learned hold ad ffcretit opinion, i have my own oj iuiou which I * ill proceed to announce without hesitn'ion or delay. 1. The motion was to quash the indictment because, first, the Act provided no punishment for selliug liquor without a license. 1 may say, in passing, that the words "without a license," contained in the first count, are mere surplusage, and the offense charged is that of selling liquor. At common law crimes are divided into two c asses, namely, mala in se and mala ?r?A,7..o? t? .11. UI II* 3UUI *11 lUIlS* Ilir iliu U5f U1 lllf lliuiliucr?. The section referred to reads as follows : "Sec. 21. IS vet y person who shall directly r indirectly, keep or maintain. by himself, or by associating or combining with others, c-r who shall in any manner aid, assist or abet in keeping < r maintaining any club room or other p ace in which any iutosica'ing liquors are received or kept for tho purpose of barter or sale as a beverage, or for distribution or division among the members of any club or n?soci itsoa, by any means whatever, and every person who shall barter, sc'l, or a-sist or abet another in bartering or selling any intoxicating liquors so received or kept, shall ho deemed gui ty of o misdemeanor, and upon o>nviction thereof be punisho 1 by a fine of not less than otto hundred dollars nor more rh?n five hundred dollars, and by imprison ment in the county jail not less than ninety days uor un re than one year," It is clear that this section does not contine its provisions to clubs and associations, but includes the receiving and selling liquor in "any ether place." It. The third and last ground, and the main ground, is that tho Dispensary Act is uncoustituticnnl. And the argument un ler tins bianco is concerned chietly with the purpose of the Act, and tho question as to the police power of the State. There seems to bo some confusion regarding slie important distinction between the Federal Constitution aud the State Constitution. Tkoy are essentially different in their nature. Tho Constitution of tho United States confers upon Congress certain welldefined powers, and Buch other powers only as arc necessarily implied from such grant. And when an issue arises as to the unconstitutionality/ of an Act of Congress, the ^mutter Qf tho Act been by the On the other hand, the Cnetitulion of South Carolina bestows generally legislative p ;wer upon the General Assembly with very few limitations; and therefore, upon an issue regarding the constitutionality of an Act of the OeDcrul Assembly of tlio State, a the qucatioiis: "Has power to legislate i upon tho subject matter of tins Act been I withheld by tlte State Constitution?" On this point I have hero an excellent authority which 1 shall read : ' "The people of a State, in creating hy their organic law a legislative department of government, confer upon it the whole of their inherently severe gn and uncontrolled power of lcgii lation, except in s f ir as tliey have delegated this power in respect to certain restrictions to the Oon.ress of the United States, and except also in so f ir as they contemporaneously impose clucks and limits upon the legislative authoiity. Hence the Legis'ature of a State may enact any law (not infringing upon the ether departments,) of any chaiacter or rn any subject, unless it is prohibited, either in expresf lermi or by necessnry implication, in the Ccistitut 011 of the United States or of that S ate. In other words, the constitution! are to he c ns'deied as limitations upon tlx legislative power of the State, not as grant! power." (-Id Am. and Eng. Kncyc. o L or, 089.) in note two to the above quotation occur.' th i following: "The distinction between the Unitet Slates Constitution and the Slate Coiutitntior is, that the former confers upon Congress cer tain specified powers only, while the lattci confers upon the Legislature nil legis'ativi power. In tho ono case, ilie poweis spcci tic illy granted can only he exercised ; ir iho other, all legislativo powers nut pre mribed." (Citing l'copl.i vs. Flagg, 4f> Ii i\, 401 : Page vs. Allen, ?">H Pa. Slat 338. Applying the doctrine just quoted, whiol must be recognized as sound doctrine, tin unconstitutionality of the Dispensary Ac u mniln in onninr frnin suinu liinita lion contained in our State Constitution itself upon tlio power of the General Asscin bly to enact such n law. No such limiUiioi has been pointed out to me. nor am I nwari of nny such limitation either express o implied. Even if the power of the General Assent bly to enact the Dispensary luw could b derived only from its police power, then cau be no question that under that power i would have nmplo authority t-> restrict th . sale of, or the traffic in liquor. Tho Stat has frequently done so in the past by slat utcs in ended to reguluto and restrict th * ' trnilic iu liquor, without que.-tion as 10 it right and authority so to do. This Act declares in its title that such i its purpose : "An Act to prohibitum ininu facture and sale," etc , "except ns liereii provided." And its provisions under Ink to accomplish that very thing by nunierou I limitations, such as restricting (lie places u which liquor is to be sold ; the hours x [ which it is to be so'd ; the rersons to whot 1 it shall be uiiAwrtu i<> sen n<|uor; I character of ibe person* It; whom it is to h I sold ; the not selling on credit; the prohi A bition as to drinking 011 the premises ; t!i B limiting the amount to be sold to purchaser1 B the written applies! ion signed by each pin B chaser, and other reflfiOtlOSf that need DC B he meutioned here. B It appears upon tlio face of the l>i*peusar B Act, as it stands upon the tttiule book, ilm B1 the purpose and primary uljeot of ilioso wh W m?wi i was to diiuiii'slivd the sale |B consumption of liipior, and to decrease lb Hj evils vvhioh ?r<! believed to icsult from th declaiing minder to be a crime, or rape, or arson, or bttig'nry. Tlicso crimes are describ d and mniish ment. nrnviilnl for them They belong to ihc class described as mala in ?f. When the commission of an act is prohibited by statute, it l c'ongs to the class of ma/a firohibiln. The commission of an Act prohibited by statute is an offense becnu?e it is a viola'ion of law. Ttio offense chatg*-d is prohibited by the Dispensary Act, and thus to sell liquor becomes ? violation of law, aud is, therefore, nn offense. No offense created by statute is a felony uale-s it is so declare.*. Therefore the selling of liquor in violation of Sect on (5 of the Dispensary Act is a misdemeanor, and is punishable, if u>t by any pcnnlty provided in said Act, then under the provisions of tho stHtuto, Sec ioti 2053, Revised StHtutcs : "Section 2G53. In case of legal oonviction, jrT'" where do punishment is provided by sta'ute, the court shall award such sentence ns is *\,uhSm a^hlc to the common usage and practice in thisTlaTP," sccortiing to the nature of tho offense and not repugnant to tho Const tution." 1 am, therefore, of the opinion, and si hold, that the offense ns charged is punishable under the section I have just quoted. 2. The next ground was that Section 21 of the Dispensary Act, under which the indictment is Darned, relates only to the B'de or distribution of liquors kept by clubs *.v. xrx. - - j^uibur Friday, November 17, 1893. sunscRirnox, $1 go per annum POST OFFICE DIRECTORY.

In the 3d line " of the 'M paragraph, instead of "we havo </ (. statute," it should read as wo print it, "wo c have no statute." liquor traffic, for the publ'c gooff. Anff I feel bounff to say from my own observation that the Act scents to be accomplishing that bencficienl object. On this ground, as it appears to me, it is without doubt a proper exercise of the police power of the State. It has ben learnedly argued today that the purpose of the Act was to raise revenue. Hut it is to be collected from the Act itsolf that the raising of revenue is only incidental to the main purpose of tho Act, which, as I have already held, is to restriet and regulate the sale of and traffic in liquor. And, as 1 understand the Chester cases, ex rcl. Hoover and ex ret. Groeacbols, our Supreme Court has already decided that the . Act in question is an Act to regulate tho sale of liquor. In these Chester 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 is universally recognised, it is quite clear," etc. (17 S. E. Rep. 75G.) Most of the argument against the constitutionality of the Dispensary Act made before me. and I may say elsewhere, seems to be directed more to the wisdom of the Act than to tho power of the General Assembly to pass the Act. Tbo question is one of power nnd not of policy. As to the wisdom or unwisdom of Acts of the General Assembly the courts have nothing to do. That is a question for tho poople. It is proveibial that ours is a government of the people, l>y tho people and for the people , and it is for the people by the ballot box to corroot mistakes in legislation when they aro satisfied l.?t I.nwv !.??? i urn. suuu 111 ni<imm mm; uvcu lunviu uj uh ii representatives, and not for the courts. It has been argued that the General Assembly has no constitutional right to appropriate money to engage in businoss. For all public pnrpnres the power of the General Assembly is absolute in the absence of constitutional provisions. The same authority holds: ' The power of the Legislature in disposing of tho revenue of the State, and its discretion relating to such disposition, are complete and unlimited in the absence of constitutional provisions." (3 Am. and Eng. Encyc. of Law, 091.) The State is daily engaged in the sale of phosphate rock to individuals for revenue. If tho State can own phosphate territory and sell tho rock, it can purchase, if necessary, other phosphate territory for the purpoHC of traffic in phosphate. It is without question thnt tho State owns both real and personal property, and can dispose of it at wilt. These instances I give to illustrate tiie doctrine. llo'ding the views I have herein announced I cannot quash the indictment. The motion to quash is therefore overruled. ITie jOeefily Union billies.

We have heard i less complaint against Iho action of the Binrd than ever before, and wo may safely i conclude that it is a Board of capable and i g> od men, in whose hands the business affairs of the county are perfcc'ly safe. 1 By some oversight, or from some other i cause, the legislature last year neglected to authorize the levy of a small tax for "pnBt i indebtedness*' or tho tsx for the retirement of railrond bocds, consequently nothing could be done by tho Commissioners to reduco the obligations of tbe county in either of those departments. We hope the legislature wU! comply with the request of the County Commissioners this year and authotize the levy of a sufficient tax to meet all the demands for ordinary county purposes, for the current year, and for pnst indebtedness, as well as for the retirement of the railroad bonds. It will be far better for the people to submit to a small tax f r the retirement of a certain number of bonds every year than to be t ixod, as they may be, in a few years, to meet the whole debt. Every bond retired now lessens the interest bearing debt of the county, to be paid hereafter, that amount.

Among the tnauy causes assigned for the failure, we have not rend that the throng to the World's Fair was considered one ; yet, judging from this vicinity, it was tho greatest cause. Three went to the World's Fair from this place, to otic that went to the State Fair. The Summer resorts' nil over the country have been nlniost failures from the same cause. Tlio Chicago World's Fair was a grand success, financially as well as in every other respect. The stockholders made millions of dollars out of it. and all who visited the great exhibition were well pleased. No doubt a large amount of money was expended to make it the creditable exhibit that it wns, but we arc inclined to think that the press of the country did more to make it u success and received less in proportion for it than any other factor. In fact, so far as we know, the preso received notlrng, notwithstanding there appeared during the Fair, from one to three columns of illustrated World's Fair matter in almost every weekly paper throughout the country. The conductors of the press, particularly of the country prcs>, nro doing more gratuitous labor and thereby contributing more to the success of public and private enterprises the jmova', social and educational advancement of the world than any other class of people, while in all business transactions there is a general disposition to grind them down to the lowest notch, hardly allowing , tjbeu: a living oIimo*.

President Cleveland and Gov. Tillman areg?tting nearer together. Each one has appointed Thursday, the 30th of this month as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. Now, us these high functionaries have appointed a day for the people to unite in prayer and praise l'ur temporal blessings, we suggest that the people of this State, nnyliow, solemnly aud earnestly uuiie in prayer to Almighty Cod for a r]>irilual blessing to descend upon the l'ro-ideot, the Governor and Senator Irhy, that they may be truly converted and work togetlur in harmony for the religious a :d soiinl advancement and the political pence and harmony of the people. We believe in the cdicacy of united, fervent, honest prayer, and it is beyond the conception of mortal man what miracle may he wrought in answer to euch a united prayer on the 30th of this month, for the peace harmony niul prosperity of the people of this whole country. It may bring all tho recalcitrant politicians to their knees together. Our correspondent, Telephone tells us that hog drovers give notice that the price of hogs on foot will be 7 to 7Jets. That settles it with us. We cannot see cither sausage, backbone pie, sparerib, or jowl and turnip greons for us this year at those prices. In tho light of what we bclievo to be tlio farmers best iuterest, we arc not much sorry for it. It is notice to them that bucon will be nearly out of their reach next year and may compel them to raise their own bacon in self defence lisrcaficr. The "drowned" corn of this year, useloss and dangerous for feeding to oilier stock, would be good for fattening hogs, and would be almost enough lo fallen all the hogs needed in the county. CORSETS.

A man who is trying to shoot a squi rel follows it around a tree, without getiii ? 10 see it, mo squirrel keeping the tree b tween the man and himself all the time. The question is: Does the man go arout i" the squirrel ?" )1 The first and only thing for us to decido this case is, what is meant by "going around If a number of conceutric circles aro drawi wo evidently conclude that the outer larger circle encloses (is around) the small > ones. This being true, the circle made 1 s the man around the tree encloses that mac ' by the squirrel around the tree, and cons e qucntly the man has gone around the squi n rel." Viewod in this light it mattors litt u whether the motion of the squirrel be arout >i the tree or up nud down it. it is practical ' and logically the same, simply because tl f man has placed himself at every poiot of tl e compass from the squirrel, and therefo has gone around it. but, on the other hati ' if the argument prevails that the rolatii positions of the man and the squirrel n I, not changed by the motion of each, then tl n mechanical conclusion is that the man b not gone around the squirrei. This, of cour? 8 in our judgment, is the weaker of the tv if arguments. Yet, at the same time, it r entitled to such consideration as to make 0 a potent factor in explaining the queuii . what is meant by "going around."

S TRIBUTE TO DEPARTED WORTH. o- MISS ELLA WHITLOCK. st 110 October the 16lh, 1893, the sad iotelligoncc reached inc of the death of my esteemed friend and Sister, Miss Ella Whit0 luck, which took plnce at her father's hose near Mount Tabor, Union County, s. C. s' Miss El'a, youngest daughter of Mr. and r" Mrs F. O. Whdlock, was born in Chcs8,_ tor County, 8. C., Sept. 2'ith, 1868. There, r~ in a rural home, with kind and indulgent r" parents, elio pa?sed the deys of her girlliood. Sho there roccived that early traine~ ing of the inind which proved to be a well - laid foundation for mental culture. There, in 1875, at the very tender age of 12 summers, alio professed faith in Christ and was, ,, by the Rev. L. C. liinton, reoeivod and baptised into the fellowship of the Beaver Creek Baptist Church, Chester County, of cr which she remained a consistent member until lior withdrawal to unite with the Pbilippi Church, Union Co., in" 1888. n_ Soon after the settlement of her Father in r~ Union County sho entered the Qrcenvillo . ~ Female College, from which sho graduated |(l in Juuc 1882. After her graduation she . took a Post Graduate Course in Richmond T Female Institute. Richmond. Vn. She also 1 spent several months In New York City, perfecting herself in drawing and paiming, j" for whioh she had an especial fondness. A ' number of beautiful scenes and excellent r0 portraits hang to-day upon the walls of the family homestead, showing the high degree as oi excellence to wnictt she had attained in this |e special art. V(J Completing her course of study she enterod upon the noble work of training the minds t of others, an avocation for which she was )n highly qualified, both in mind and heart. Ic For some years she taught near her Father's ct home. Jauuary, 1890, she took a position rfi as Assistant to Professor Dargm, in tho (o (Jaflhoy City High School. She also assis'ed . Professor F. C. Hicksoti, when he succeedei ^ Praf. Davf^n m Prtnvtfwl u n ' Both of theso brethren spoke to the writer of ber superior fitness fur the positiou of Teaoher. The Fall of 1891 she assisted !. Mies Lancaster in her school, located at ' Oxford Miss. From Oxford she went to 9 Muskogee, Indian Territory, where she a9 taught for some months. She then joined e" her brother and sister ill Fort Smith. Ark. It wits hero thnt she received the news of the affliction in the family of her brother in1 law, Mr. W. A. Moorhead, at Mt. Tabor, and returned to South Carolina. Upon her 1,9 arrival home, Aug. fith, she found her jT" nephew \\. A. Moorhead, Jr.. a bright and , , promising boy of 10 summers, suffering from 9 an attack of Typhoid Fetter. She took the on place of the afflicted motlior and tenderly watched over him until he was called up higher, September 9tli. ?c* From this bomo of sorrow she wont to her father's home, to aid iti nursing her first cousin, who was also suffering from an |Ut attack of fever. She was there seized with , the same form of fever Sept. 2otb, and after throe weeks of bitter yet pationt suffering her gentle spirit passed into the better land, October 11th, 1893. *t March the 10th, 1889, I assumed the ' Pastoral oarc of the I'bUippi Churoh, then an a little band, meeting in a school house ,|j near tho residence of brother W. A. Moorua head. On this, my first visit, I met Miss ^ Ella. She was there deeply interested in [ut the work of tho Sunday school and the iat church. Iler gentle, yet womanly bearing (lg made a deep impression upon ma. She seemed to be unconsciously working in the lead. Workin<r,with her as hor Pastor aud learning to know her in the several relations of life demonstrated the correctness *? of my tirst impressiou In the Sunday t a school and in her church connection she wo was loved and honored by all. Her assooic-ir ales in the Master's work sought he.'opinion on almost every subject, and when received ie7 they treated it with marked respect. She ye. was zealous in her efforts to secure tho ,U(j building in which the Philippi church now worship. No one perhaps will deny that in her efforts and through her influence she did more tlinu nny one else to soaure the completion of Ibe neat oburoh building noir which lier body is now resting. She will be mo missed by the Church and the community; ,as but in her influence for good she will yet rlt live nnd speak. I have never known another of such tender yenrs who exerted I0" such a wholesome influence upon the social ^c' and moral relations of a community. ',JP In the home she was so tender, loving n" and obedient ns a daughter, yet Father and Mother trusted her and so loved to do her ft^9 honor. Her brothers and sisters delighted UP to show her love and osleera. She was the _ light, joy and center of tho hopes if her ve home. The family will say : "No one can take the place of Klla." In the circle of her friends her prosoncc was alwa7s inspiring. She possessed an amiahlo disposition, even temper, sweet spirit, kind y feeling, ra* coupled with a profound respect for the feelings and wishes of others. A uioro deklp* vout unselfish Christian I never knew. She sef? drann deep from the well of Salvation. She a knew her Master's will and d;d it. She 10 could forget herself in her earnestness fot a?e the Salvation of others. Some of the swcetesl religious conversations of ray life were held ail~ with her. Knowing that she live I Christ, I oup know that Christ was her safety in death 'ij "Sweet be her memory." Mourning relatives and friends, could sin speak to y^u, she would say, "woep not nc0 but come up higher." May ^Ood's gract lWtl sustain you : or B. C.
