I In the Hiuument before Chief Justice Melver at C lie raw yewtor-! day in the mntt-Tof the injunction | I HLrailist the eatuhl isliment <?f ili?. pcnsaiies at Seranton ami Lake City, S. \V. (J. Shipp, Esq.. of HiIh l)ar. made n |> ?ir?t against tin* dispensary law which if 1 he supreme court ad her* d to the pre-**dent it hnd set, would, if raised, knock the i whole law in to pi. The point was that the law was unconstitutional because it exempted certain eoun- i ties from the provisions f>f the (lisP' tisary law, and that it is special legislation. It appears that in the first act on this subject that in counties which had piohihitory lipuor pro. visions and in towns which had adopted "local option" laws, spe-, cial provision was made as follows: "Provided that dispensaries may be established in the counties of Williamsburg, Pickens and Afar- j ion and at Seneca and other towns incorporated in Oconee county J without, such election 'an1 compliance with the other requirements of this act." That "on" was ehariged, probably by an error in the ei orossin^ department, in the act of lSlMi to "or."'which removed the section named entirely from under the operation of the*law. wlwtln /uien 1 ? - 4 " 1 jb xs t? iiwic v unu i r fi Vfiy X II I t*T* esting one and Mr. Shipp lias evolved boiiio most interesting problems out of the situation. The injunction writ is made returnable at the next meeting of the su- ' preme court. -? ?. Is Tillman After Trouble? To those who follow the doings ! <if the Ibiited States Senate, the member with a pitchfork, who is the representative of the old hotblooded element in South (Jaroli- j na, i? easily the most sensational i "feature, says the Detroit Free Press. He dearly loves a tight, and is an opponent not to be held in light esteem. When he is not puzzling men like Spooner, Foraker, Piatt, and Lodge with problems in law or logic, lie is having his fun with lleveridge or badgering all lb-publican comers with the taunts and sneers that trip so readily from his tongue. It is a long time since Tillman vviiu rniriiviLkil ??o ? 4? - 1 1 .Vh.it>au\l ?!.-> n I^IIUVI 1 !_J IJI . He has a wonderful fund of gener- 1 hi knowledge. Few men nre quicker to discover a mistake in history, whether of the present or of any p *riod in the past. Me can ask more embarrassing qnes- ' tioiiH ihan any other man in tin* Senate, and where evasion is at- i tempted he is a merciless commentator. Tie frequently dep e- , cates his legal abilities, yet scarce- , ly a day passes that he does not i trip up one of the profound lawyers of the Senate. With all this the Senator is a , good deal of a bully. Ho is bent on the indulgence of his combat ivenose and has no hesitancy in taking up a theme that is not ger- | mane to the onestioii bofi? ?-? -- * I Senate. His favorite divergenee ^ is lo get the Southern situation , relative to the negro under dis- ( mission. Flis repeated insinuation ' is that the Republican ineinherHliip , is afraid to defend tin- A fro-American citizens ot the nation since it ( is making war upon the brown , people of the Philippines. This | is well enough tih a reminder, but > the Senator is persistent and in- \ expressibly aggravating. He has ? only to keep on to insure a re- 1 newed waving of the bloody shirt. If He is frightening no one. Ifesitn- j lion is going back at him hammer | and tongs as a result of an intolli- j; gent aversion to reviving the slumbering embers which should be | , allowed to die out. He is iudus j trionsly courting a revival of the trouble that his own people would most strongly condemn him. > ' There iH ample room in the prea ent arena for the exercise of all ^ Mr. Tillman's Senatorial prowess ; . without arousing the race (pies- j j tiou dog.
