Is the Dispensary Law Unconstitutional?
Floronoo Times.

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.

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
