Judge Simonton on Monday filed his decision in the Vandercook case pending against the Dispensary. The decision was no surprise, as his at titude towards the law was well known, and his decision was there fore anticipated when the case was argued two weeks ago. The follow ing is the gist of his decision: "Any State may in the exercise of the police power declare that the manufacture, sale, barter and exchange or the use as a beverage of alcoholic liquors are public evils, and, having thus declared, can forbid such manufacture, sale, barter and ex change or- use within her territory. But when a State recognizes and ap proves the manufacture, sale, barter and exchange and the usc, as a beverage, of al' >holic liquors, and the State itself en courages the manufacture, engages in the al'e of and provides for the consumption of alcoholic liquors as a beverage, and so precludes the idea that such manufacture, sale. b.arter, exchange or use ar3 injurious t> the public welfare, it is not a lawful -ex ercse of the polhce power to forbid the im portatioA of such liquors or their sale in oricinal packages for personal use and con 81imption. Such prohibition under such circutm stances is in conflict with tbe laws of Inter state and foreign commerce. The Dispensary Act of 1896, as amended by the Act of 1897. inasmuch as they ap prove the purchase and manufacture of al coholic liquors for the State, and provide for the sale of such alcoholic liquors as a beverage, in aid of the finances of the State. in so far as they forbid the importations of alcoholic liquors in original packages for personal use and consumption and the sale of such original piackages for such use in this State, are to conflict with the laws of Interstate and foreign commerce, and are, to that extent, void." The decision means simply that persona outside of South Carolina may import liquors into this State and sell the same in original or un broken packages, in direct competi tion with the law. The law is not killed by any means. Its powers to regulate the quantities in 'which liquor may be sold, the hours of sale, the prevention of drinking on the premises or of selling to minors or drunkard&, remain unmolested. The decision will affect the Dispensary law mos.. by opening up competition and pre-:enting the State from mak ing biig profits. Now let the State go to work and enforce the provis ions of the law. that remain in force. The commissions of all State Con stables will probably be called in, and the law will have to stand flatly upon its merits. 'We hope to see what re mains of it strictly and rigidly en-' forced. McLAURIN WANTS A PRIMARY. Senator McLaurin went to Colum bia Saturday and received his cre dentials, when he immediately pro ceeded to Washington and Tuesday was sworn in as the junior Senator from South Carolina. In his letter of acceptance to Governor Ellerbe he' thanks him for the high honor, and requests that a primary be held in order that the voters of the State might make the selection of the per manent successor to Senator Earle. McLaurin is that sort of a man. He does not want to remain in the pos. tion of the people's highest represen tative unless he is the people's choice, and declares his willingness to sub mit gracefully if they should see tt to elevate some one else. But this will not be. THE TIMEs is peculiarly gratified when it remembers that several years ago when McLaurin entered pubic life it was among the first to recognize in him such ability and representa tive worth as was possessed byfe men before the public, and since then it s been perhaps his most ardent -rpcatr in the State, nde it is a D.

CHANDLI source of gratification not only to Mr. IcLaurin, but to his many admirers!, to see the grand chorus of approval i that is expressed at his appointment. i As we said last week, he was the log- t ical man for the position. Without any disparagement to others, .M Laurin stands head and shoulders 1 above any other man in Congress from I South Carolina to-day, and few men n either house have a future so preg ant with the possibilities of great sefulness. Since he has been in Con ress he has been a hard student,and as mastered many of the great prob- ~ [ms that confront representatives, nd with which the majority are not apable of grappling, and therefore e has now the experience that it ill take others years to learn. He ill not be the representative of a arty or faction, but of the people of outh Carolina, and this the people ecognize. They recognize in him sch qualities as can rise above fac onal disturbances and class legisla on and espouse such causes as are nly suggested by the true states an and for the progress and refine ent of a nation. He is a worthy accessor to the lamented Earle wose place he fills, and recognizing tis, wvhen the primary is held the oters of the State will give emphatic ndorsement to Governor Ellerbe's ppointment. I .TELL IT ALL, L ARRY. To use the term in its common ronical sense, Larry Gantt is a "good ne." Larry came out last week in his paper with a two-column broad ideer against Senator Tillman, the tate Dispensary, Trailer and things1 in general. He intimates that Sena or Tillman has been the recipient 0f rbates, that during the Traxier ad inistration several hundred dollars er car load was paid for liquor more han is now paid, r.otwithstanding~ quor was cheaper then than it is .1 ow. He estimates that during the last1 ear of the Traxler regime not a cent L as turned over to the State in re ates amounting to over $40,000. arry also charges that what is known I s cologne spirits, a cheap preparation, as palmed off on the public as pure corn whiskey, under the name "chem cally pure," and that there has been eneral mismanagement and many aks. He says he has the names of, ome parties who can testify when Li he time comes, and will make some startling revelations. The funniest thing that strikes us n all these revelations, Larry, is that you have waited so long to make our startling statements, and that) bout two years ago you were right 1 n Columbia in the forefront of the~ gt, fairly whooping up thinge Did you know these things then? Did you know or believe then that Sena or Tillman was receiving rebates Did you know then that too much was being paid for whiskey, and that ll that cheap cologne spirits was being palmed off on the public fr ehemically pure 'stuff'"? You ought to have known all these things fyou didn't, as you were then on he inside and had ample opportunity of tasting some of the stuff and tell ng whether or not it was cologne spirits. And if you knew these ings, why have you waited so ln > give the people the benefit of your formation? They take to the inifor ation, riglht away, however, and want you to give them all you know.

If we are not mistaken it was rut n1 understanding in a certain Con- Gi ressional convention several years an o that if the Clarendon delegation Ibe Zould give way, that as a matter of I e ight and justice, in addition to the' kii ell known fitness and abilities " f the gentleman which Clarendon 10 en put forward, she would be re-- en ognized the next time.

She has done her State cat Lonor in producing such a man, but pai be following clipping from the Sel- fer rs correspondent, of the "News and goi ourier" would seem that the Pee Ge )ee section is full of aspiring men: su< "Selers, MIarion County, May 23.-Spee. the i: The race for the vacant seat in the be: louse of Senator 31eLaurin's is going to be rad mt:ghty interesting," especially for the copie of M1arion County.

The outlook now is for a y large crop. Sometime ago the )ds in the Mississippi Valley had effect of running up the price ae, but the increased favorable iditions in other localities have re than overbalanced that. Texas I come in with an increased acre of something like ten per cent., I the increase in the other States I show up probably in about the ae proportion. But really we can tell. Cotton may possibly bring en or seven and a half cents, and n again, as the price sometimes )ends on speculation as well as )duction, it may go to five. There mne thing in our favor, however, t we have not had for several rs, and that is that the surplus : over and thrown upon the mills be consumed is not so great. At rate it behooves the farmers to ke all of the article that they can er making provisions. 'Silver Dick" Bland says: "The ,ney question will be a more in se issue in 1900 than in the last npaign. The people will begin to lize more than ever that they need aetallism. They know it now, and elieve an election to-day would ult in victory for the Democratic esidential candidate.

Ihe collision which occurred at the aith Carolina College a few days >, an account of which will be nd on our first page, was a dis ceful affair. There is blame some ere, and it seems to narrowv down :n General Watts.

For sale by E1. TiE COURT. Judge D. A. Townsend presided at the term of the Coart, which convened Monday morning. The grand jury panel was about full and thirty-four of the thirty-six petit jur ors were present. Solicitor Wilson gave out a number of indictments and Judge Townsend delivered a very brief charge to the grand jury. in substance as follows: "Gentlemen of the g-and jury-I will not detin you with any lengthy charge. The bills handed you will show the offence with which each person is charged, and if you need any special instruct ons and will let it be known I shall be pleased to in struct you. The indictments have been carefully drawn by the Solici tor, and give the names of all the witnesses. Your duty is simply to decide who should be put on trial. You are not to weigh evidence or anything of that kind, but simply to say whether or not from an examina tion of the witnesses, the parties in dicted should be made to answer for the crimes with which they are charged. I have no doubt you were fully charged at a former term of court and I therefore need not take up any further time with a lengthy charge. Retire, 4r. Foreman, with your jury." The grand jury made the following returns on bills: Ben Moore, indicted for house breaking and larceny. True bill. Willie Mitchell, larceny. True bill. George Geddy, assault of a high and aggravated nature. True bill. Abram Holmes, assault and battery with intent to kill. True bill. Noel McDonald, housebreaking and larceny. True bill. Albert Jones, alias George Jones, breaking and entering box car with intent to steal. True bill. The first case tried was that of Sam Thigpen,for shooting a negro by the name of Eugene Richbourg. This case was tried at the last term of the court and resulted in a mistrial. He was defended this time by Major A. Levi, and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Willie Mitchell plead guilty of the charge of grand larceny, stealing a bicycle, and was sent up for nine months in the penitentiary or the same time on the chain gang. George Geddy was tried upon the charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. George is well known in Manning, where he has been a common offender, and he and the town council have had fre quent transactions of a more or less unpleasant nature. He had an array of ebony-hued damsels of Manning's third or fourth caste to testify in his behalf. George was not altogether in a new role and conducted his own defense. He made a speech to the jury, and while the Solicitor had nothing to say to the jury, they found him guilty nevertheless, and George was given $25 or thirty days on the chain gang. Abram Holmes was tried for assault ana battery with intent to kill and found guilty. Judge Townsend gave him fifteen months in the Peniten tiary or a like period on the County chain gang. Albert Jones, alias John Jones, was also disposed of. He was charged with breaking open a freight car and stealing a lot of calico, and was found guilty. He was given three years in the Penitentiary, or a like period on the public roads of the County. Sup ervisor Owens ought to get some val uable services out of him during this time. Noel McDonald plead guilty to the indictment for house breaking and larceny, and he was given six months at hard labor on the County's chain gang or the same time in the State's big institution on the Congeree. TUESDAT. Court convened at 9:30 o'clock. The case of the State against Ben Moore was quickly disposed of. He was arraigned upon the charge of housebreaking and larceny. He ac knowledged the crime and was sent up for six months in the penitentiary or the usual alternative on the pub lic roads of the County. Bench warrants were issued for Willie McFaddin and Robert Rush, charged with housebreaking and larceny in Salem. The case of the State vs. Willie Prince, alias Willie Cooper, which was tried in his absence at the Octo ber term of the Court upon the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill and upon being con vited was sentenced by Judge Ben ett to five years imprisonment, was then called. The defendant has since been arrested and was in jail. Judge Townsend signed an order confirming the sentence and Cooper will now enter upon his term of sen tence. Sydney Burgess, being confined in jail upon the charge of bigamy and the State's witnesses failing to ap pear, upon motion of the Solicitor, an order was granted allowing him to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of $200 for his appearance at the ensuing term of court. The case against S. S. Uleh charged with living in adultery was dismissed upon the ground of want of evidence. The ease of Stephen Johnson, Jr.. convicted in the Magistrate's court for disposing of crop under lien was brought up on appeal. He was rep resented by Colonel Barron and the appeal sustained and .the verdict of the jury reversedY PRESENTMENT. The grand jury finished up their work Monday afternoon an d made the following presentment: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. COrNTY OF CLARENDON. To the Hon. D. A. TowsExN, Pre siding Judge, Spring Termi of Court, 1h97: The grand jury, empaneled at the first of the year, beg leave to make this, their second presentment: We have passed up)on all bills of indictment handed us by the Solici tor and have made returns upon same. We have not many matters to preC sent, but would like to call the atten tion of the proper authorities to the unpleasant condition of the ante rooms to the court house, and re commend that they receive more constanlt and proper attention. Our attention has been called to the fact that in one or two sections the constant use of log carts have damaged bridges so badly as to ren der them almost impassable. W e have conferred with the County Su pervisor and he tells us lhe will see his township boards and enforce the proper remedies. We have not as yet exammned into the inancial condition of our County or the hooks of the various County offices, but. as stated in our former presentment, we have applointed a special committee to attend to this part of our work aid report to us at he fall term of the court, and in >rder that they may (do their work :horoughly and prop~erly we would 'equest your honor to appoinmt Mr. J.

This work will be (lone ome time soon, whenm we will also ok into and make a thorough in-' esiigatin~ of the reports of he Connty Treasurea and ounty Superintendent of Educa> ion, handed us at this term.

We have been informned that there is an appropriation of $101) for remirs on the County's publie building, and we would recomiend that tIhe roof of the court house receivc attention by being painted, as it has not been p)ainted in iany years. and a little attention given now will save imuch expense at some future day. There are no flagrant violations of the law which have come to our at tention. and therefore we have no recommendations or special charges to prefer. Respectful1 submitted. W. G. FHIERsON. Forenian. The business of the court was rushed through rapidly, much to the delight of the jurors, who would rather be at home looking after their crops. and also inuch to the advan tage of the County fron a nai-cial point of view. This was one of the shortest and least expensive terius of court that the County has had in a long time. The jurors were dis missed and the sessions court ad journed sine die at noon Tuesday-. There were no civil cases tried at this term of the court and a short while was spent Tuesday afternoon taking out orders. Judge Townsend and the lawyers met in the court house this inorning at seven o'clock and wound up all of the business of this term, adjourning the comion pleas sine die. THE GUANDEST RIEMEDY. Mr. RZ.
