This society gave several very successful entertainments, and no workers for the Monument were j more faithful thai! this little band. The Philharmonic Orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Henry Kohn, promptly responded to every call, j a.nd by their^invaluable assistance en j livened nearly every entertainment given in Orangeburg for this cause. Other orchestras and bands through out the county generously contributed their services on various occasions. The Edisto Rifle Armory was ten dered by tne company for the use ot ; the Association at any time, and was | used by the County Association for all of its meetings, and on various occasions. ~~ The Countypapers, The Times and Democrat, Tfr^NTERPRisE and The Spectator, each put its columns at the disposal of the ladies, and they proved of inestimable value in aiding the no ble work. It had been determined that the last effort for the monument should be j a grand Fair, given by the ladies of | the whole county, and at the annual | meeting held Oct. 5, 18^1, the 8th ol ; December was selected as the opening i day. Mrs. E. F. Slater was elected [ Chairman.

Ihe County Association; having : raised a sufficient sum for the erection of a monument, decided to lay the | corner stone on Apr. 12, 1892. For j many days preparations were made. I After consulting the Advisory Com mittee of Gentlemen, the arrange ments for the day were completed. The weather was charming. The grass was at its greenest; and the trees, having just put out their leaves, made it a perfect spring day. Nature having lent her full share, the next requisite to make a Success of the occasion was to have a large crowd. The schools gave holiday, .the stores were closed, the farmers d^me in fail force with their wives and ,dauglfceiB. Besides, several excursions,*, bringing t visitors and military companies- -ia^ creased the large crowd. It was a universal holiday. The firsV?ttractive feature of the day was the parade. It was headed by Capt Samuel Dibble, the Chief Marshal, with his Aids Then came the visiting military companies, fol lowed by the home companies. After these came the ladies of the County Monument Association in carriages. Next the Orator of the day, Gen. Butler, rode in a carriage, escorted by the Butler Guards. The survivors, walkigng two by two, were* divided into three divissions, representing the Artillery, the Infantry and the Cavalry. Lastly came the ma sons with their mysterious parapher nalia and emblems. The procession moved with ease and regularity. There were no breaks, no disorder, but as it slowly moved through the principal thoroughfares, it presented a continuous and well-formed column, which added friuch to the dignity and impressiveness of the day. When the procession ended, every body proceeded to the tastely decorated stand, where the remaining ceremo nies were to take place, The stand, on which the ceremonies were conducted, was situated just in front ot the Court House. The mili tary companies were drawn upjon one, while the children of the graded school were seated in a body on \ the other side of the stand. The remain der and great mass of the audience were stationed in front The meeting was called to order by Gen. Jas. F. Izlar President pf the County Survivors Association. I1 irst in order was an impressive prayer, delivered slowly and distinctly by Bishqp P. F. Stephens. Then came the time for the laying of the Corner StoM bye the Masons. After going throi^n many forms and cere monies, that were alone understood by the masons themselves, the block of granite wa* set in position not to be removed for many generations to come. It contained many relics and reminiscences of the war times. The last and greatest event of the day was yet to come. It was the oration to be delivered by Gen. M. C. Butler. After a suitable introduction, this orator was greeted by a storm of applause. He then in a eloquent manner delivered an address, noble and patriotic; such as a man of ex igence* and talent alone could make. Aft*fr the exercises the crowd dis persed. The visiting military com panies were hospitably treated by the home companies. The whole day passed off quietly and pleasantly. .Everybody agreed that it was a per fect success. Now is about to take place the grandest event in the history of the monument ? its unveiling. Vast pre parations are being made to make it the most solemn and impressive occassion in the history of Orangeburg County. Infantry, artillery, and cav alry companies will take part in the exercises of the day. General Wade Hampton will deliver the oration. Many other famous generals and dis tinguished guests will be present. Let every one from every section of the county come today and witness the unveiling of a shaft of South Carolina granite, which shall be a lasting memorial to the fame of our noble and heroic dead. "dixie." Lancaster, S. CM Oct. 13.? The case of the State vs. Samuel D. Can ter for selling liquor without a license was called for trial in the Court of General Sessions this morning. There were two counts in the indictment ? one ior selling one quart of liquor without a license, and the other for bringing five gallons of liquor into the State with intent to sell the same. On the call ot the case Earnest Moote, ??eouosel for the defandant, moved to quash the first count in the indictment, ou the ground that the act, commonly known as the dispen sary act, is a new statute^ intended to embrace the whole law regulating the sale of liquor in the State, and that it repeals all acts inconsistent with it, but provides no penalty for a single sale of liquor, or for retailing liquor, as alleged in the first count in the in dictment. .{?j; Mr. Moore elaborated this point. After argument by Solicitor Hough, Judge Gary granted the motion to quash the indictment, and in so doing, remarked thai section 1 of the dispen sary act dose regulate the matter of the sale of liquors, and that the act is defective, in that it provides no penalty for retailing, and that this -defect is not remedied by any pre ; vious act or acts. 11 The trial of the case on the second count in the indictment was continued, on motion of the solicitor. The de fendant was admitted to bail by Judge I Gary in the sum of 8200. The bond I was promptly given, and the defend ant has gone on his way rejoicing to [ his North Carolina home. This will 1 likely be the end of the case. | Judge Gary did not hesitate to i Grant the order quashing the indict | ment as to its first count. His opin ion was delivered orally, from the j bench, at the conclusion ot the argu | ment THE HURRICANE AGAIN. , ANOTHER SEVERE STORM ON THE COAST. ^ .

Charley Frederick SRes, who peri odically drifts into the city with de signs ou the visible supply of wheat and a bundle of miscellaneous stories, road collected and usually good, enter tained a blase crowd at a down towu club the other night with one refresh ingly innocuous and rich in real com edy. "I and a friend were over in Indi aua a few weeks ago," said Mr. Sites, "and we went out to his place to look at some standing wheat Returning we took a short cut for our bu&gy and struck a turnpike, on which fronted a big brick building with a wall around it "What* that?" I asked, surprised at seeing such an edifice a dozen miles from any town. " 'Lunatic asylum/ said my friend. 'There's one of them sitting on the wall.' "Now, I'd never seen a real lunatic face to face, and I looked rather in tently at this one. He was a big, hulking fellow and he simply sat and and glowered at us. As we can^ "*? T ?? " crossed. " 'Is he dangerous?' I asked. " *1 reckon not,' said my friend; 'they wouldn't let him out if he was 1 "By that time we were right along side the fellow, and I never saw a more devlish looking face than he had. I stopped a second and looked at him. As I did so he slid oil' the wall and started toward me. Now, I am not a coward, but, as I said, I'm no expert in the matter of lunacy, and as he came toward me I retreated into the middle of the road. My friend, who had walked on, was a little dis tance ahead. As I retreated the lunatic increased his gait to a trot So did I. Then he broke into a run. I followed suit, and as my friend turned and saw us coming he tucked in and started down the road as a peacemaker, going about a 2.07 gait There woren't any words exchanged. We three just buckled down to it and did our best I had about twenty feet start on the lunatic and held it for the first three hundred yards. Then my, wind began to go, and to my horror I saw he was gaining on me. All the stories I'd ever heard of the frightfiii frenzy of lunatics when enraged flash ed, into my mind and driven by fear I let out another notch and kept on running, though my heart was pound ing like a trip hammer. ? "I suppose we ran half a mile that way when I felt my strength going and realized that I must drop or stand and make a fight for it. The lunatic was almost upon me when I whirled about. As I turned I could see his horrible face, his eyes blazing with madness, his teeth showing like fangs l>etwecu his jaws. I was weak as a cat. I could not avoid him In a moment he was upon me. I nerved myself for a iinal effort, but ? " "'But what?" "He touched me on the shoulder as he passed and shouted: Tag! you're it! Then as he got a safe distance of! he laughed and chuckled: 'I'v been waiting for a week to play tag with somebody. You're it; now catch me!" ? Chicago Times. . x I noticed that he had his DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY. \ A Young I .ad y Attacked on the Strict* of Ilcaufort l>y a ?gro. Beaufort, S. C., Oct. 11. ? One of the most skillful ami efficient pieces of detective work was done here this morning by John Green, the big, bur ly black ex town marshal of lieaufort. On Monday evening last, Miss Mary | Fripp, a young liuly connected with our best families, was returning home from shopping on Hay street, and when she reached within a square of her residence she was assaulted by a large, powerful young negro fellow, who snatched from her hands her purse containing $20 in currency and a 820 postoffice order and made off with it. Ilue and cry failed to arrest this scoudrel in his flight. No police man was on hand or could be found and the fellow made way with himself. John Green, the powerful ex marshal, set himself to work to track his high wayman and this morning hesucceed ! ed in capturing one Jim Barnwell, a desperate negro, who endeavored to escape after Green had him in his clutches. Only $9 of the money booty was found on his person, but he owferl up before Trial Justice T. G. White his implication in the daring | robbery and acknowledged having sj>ent the rest of the money in cloth I ing and sundries and had thrown I away the S 20 postal note in his flight after tearing it up. He was commit ted for trial at the Court of General Sessions. He said he had noticed | Miss Fripp on the Bay in a store pay ing off' some money and he followed I her up the street though she was in j company with another young lady I and when he got by the town station j house, the last place where a police i man is supposed t<; l>e prowling, he j committed the deed which will surely j insure him in the pc:?iUutiary fur a { I'-ng,^ long time. Too much praise I cannot be given t" John Green, our i former town marshal, for this sample of J detective skill which has been too fre | quently exercised for the comfort of j evil doers and, |>erhaps, made him too I unpopular to be re elected.

' j.\, The State intends to appeal from Judge Hudson's decision upon constitutional questions involved in we rice beer cases, and at last the eonati- - tutiouality of the much talked of lair will be brought squarely before lb* the State Supreme Court. As already stated, if the court sustains Judge Hudson, then the dispensary ayalstn falls all to pieces; if it does not, then the men charged (with selling intoxi cating liquors in violation the dis pensary law, will have to^jo toVial and the State will have to nrove/that rice beer is an intoxicanU^A J Assistant Attorney Gen^rtT Booh* an an announced yesterday \morning that the State wouldtake a separate appeal in each individual case as aoon as possible. The grounds of appeal are now being prepared, and will be served upon the defendants' attorneys at once. The attorneys for the State say that they thought that Judge Hudson decide against ^hem, and re marked that the Judges goes much fnr jptfatiftin this decision than he did in the Darlington decision. The attorneys for the State, in their appeal, will also defend the indictments as -made out by the solicitor. They toy that the drawing of the indictment Was done in accordance with a recent Vust passed by the Legislature. These attorneys say, too, thai this will be the very first time that* a ease has come b&re a coutjt of competent 'f jurisdiction where the eona^tntioikaU ity will have to be decided. In the Darlington case they say the Supreme./ Court can act . without deciding tip question of constitutionality at alL Judge Melton, when he heard of th* decision of the attorneys representing; , the State, to appeal, made directly far 1 the court room, and seemed to be de lighted.

The following is the formal order in the case of the Fagqps and James Ivey: "This is an indictment under the act of the General Assembly of this ?

That the said act was passed in viola tion of the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State, and is, therefore, null and void and 2. That in and by the said act no punishment is provided for the offence as set forth in the indictment. "For reasons that are stated at length in a separate decisioi to be filed in this court, it is considered that the demurrer should be sustained and the motion to quash should prevail. It is therefore "Ordered that the indictments here in be and the same are hereby quash ed and set aside. "J. II. HUDft)N, "Presiding Jidge." Tlx- Whiskey .S|?i?*s ?n<l the South Carolina K?Uway.
