The subject of libraries for the public schools is one of great im portance, and tho teachers of the Stato aro getting aroused on the subject and will make extra ef forts to havo a woll appointed li brary in ovory public school. Tho following communications on the subject will prove timely and interesting. Dear Sir: One of the questions that, you thought most worthy of discussion by the State Teachors' Associltion Was that of school li braries. The executivo committeeI agrees with you thoroughly. It has appointed a committoo to col loet facts as to what. has actually boen done throughout the State, believing that this is ollo of the best ways of puttmng the matter before our people. Our first step is to get inforiation from tlie county school coii missioner's, with the expectatiol of following this up with inquirios adcirossed to ii dividual teachers with whom they will put us inl correspoIdenco. 1 onclose i copy of the circular we are sending out. Our success do ponds, in great measure, in the zeal with NAhich the commissioners como to our aid. Any influence that, you may have an opportunity of exerting in this direction will be appreciated. If in the same way your hearty and special sympathy with the move ment could become publicly known, I think the influoneo in its favor would be very great. Very truly, PArERSoN WAunLAw.

JUDGE GOFF ESSAYS TO STOP REGISTRATION. A Decision of Serioums Inport. Columbia, S. C., May 8.-A great crowd gathered in tho United States court room to day to hoar the decisions in the registration and dispensary casos road. Both the casos brought by Pope and Caldwell were thrown out of court anid the decisions were rendorod in the cases brought by Douglass and by lryan. The negro spectators woro so elated by the registration decision thait they had to ho callod to order, their approval boilng too noisy. The dispensar:y doecision was also received with manifestations of ap provil. Tho opponon ts of the sys tem aro naturally and highly elated and the wires woro kept hot yes terday ordering liquor from Augus ta and other points outsido tho State. Mon who (id iiot neod or waut it ordered it from tho novol ty of tho feeling that. they could do it. Tho State authoritios, fwhile knocked out on this round, pro pose to get up agai n and coltiliuo the fight. Governor Evans says seizure will be made to test tho injunction, but it. had not boen fully determined tonight. exactly what, courso would be pursued. 'ho Souitherin Express ofticiails called upon Governor Evans yes torday to find out whethor they would be liable under tho Stato law for bringing in articles that they would b compelled to haul un(lr the decision. The governor gave them no definito answer, but told thorn they had bottor go slew until the State decided what courso it would pursue. .Ju(lgo Siimonttoii road the decis ioni inl the disponsary case brought from Charloston by J. P. K. Bry an. After reviewing the history of the caso. lie said: "It is not. a suit againist tho Stato of South Carolina, nor is sho in inly way a party thoroto. Certaint porsons claim to act in the namo of the Stato, b)asing their clainis on the dispensary law and if it or that part. of it which authorized thonm to seize and1( carry away the pro. perly of thle complainant undei thet ci rcumiistanices charged ini ,th hill, conmflict withI the constitution of thme Uniited States or any law mado(1 t hereunder, it is nmull and void1 as if it inever existed anld they arey left without jurisdiction.Th (11l.stionis made1 in the bill are Fed oral questions, areoacts comnplainied of ini violation of the UTnited States or of any act. passed thereunder Tlhis court., sitting in equity, ha! jurisdiction over the matters sta'toc in the bill to provent multiplicit: of suits, and because the complain -ant has no adequate or comiplet remedy at law. " 'We come~u them to the all imnpoi 'tanit, qjuest.mni oni the merits of i IsJ the provisionl ot. thle dispenmsai ilaw wh ichi forbids a citizen of itI -State huimself to import for h own 11so from any other State a .ohiolic liquor sustamnale undo the act of congress commonl known as the "Wilson Bill?" ] is if those provisionls of the dlis pon~saryr law are a lawful orcis of thme police power of the State. " 'Tho dispensary law nolwher declares thatuf the uso0 andl conl siumption of alcoholic liquors ii themselves areO injurious to moral Sgood health and safety of th State or of her people1, OJn th Icontrary the dlispenlsary law mako Smost amllO p)rovision for thle pum .chase of alcoholic liqjuors in thi - State and elsewhere, for their diu Itribution in convonienit package within reach of nearly every pom son throughout all p)ortionis of 1.h IState, for their uso0 and( consBumpl Lion by the poople of the Stat and in every wvay it oneonrago such use and consumplltion. Evi in localities in which the majority of the inhabitants refuse to hav< a dispensary, provision is mnade for the procurement of alcoholi< liquors by those persons withir the locality who desire to use them Alcoholic liquor is declared to b. Scontrai~and and against the mnor als, good health and safety of th State only when it is not importoe by the dispenser or is not in hi hands or in hands of seine on with his permission. Alcoholi liquors imported ini this State ar declared contraband and injuriou to the morals, good health am safety of the Stte and so subjec , & to seizure. Just as soon as the are seized and passed into th hands of the dispensers they los their injurious qualities, -are pu into the channels of distributiol and are sold to the people of th State for their use and consump tion. It is not necessary to go in to minuto and detailed axamina tions into all the provisions of th dispensary law nor to determin whether all those provisions are o are not in the exercise of polic power. It is suflicient, for thi purposes of this case, to say thi in so far as dispensary law forbid a citizen to purchaso in othe States and to import into thi State alcoholic liquors for his owi use and consumption produced ii other States it discriminatoi against the products of othe States. Such discrimination .ca not be mado under the guise of po lice pvor; and, further, in so fai as this act permits the chiof dis ponser to purchaso in other Statoi alcoholic liquors and to impor thon into this Stato for tho purpos of solling them for use and con sumlnption at retail within tho State and forbids all other porsons from so purchasing and importing foi their ind ividual use and consump tion, it discriminatos against all othor citizons of tho Stato. It al. so makes discrimination agaiJlsl all persons in tho trade inl othei States who are not, patronized by the Stato dispenser, forbidding them to soek customers inl till Stato and to enjoy tei commercia] intercourse soeured to others in thoso Stat os. Those conclusioms rest on this discrimination. If it did not exist ai d if all alcoholic liquors woro exclud d from thc State, or if all persons wero forbid. den to import alcoholic liquors, oi if tle laws of South Carolina had doclared that all alcoholic liquorz were of such poisonous and detri montal character and tiat thon use and consumption as a hovoraig< were against. the morals, good hoalth aind safety of tho State, othi er and diffrent questions would ariso.

"As to the Dispensary decision, I the Dispensary will continuo its operation as irotofore and the case will be pirsued to the Supremo Court of the United States as speedily as possiblo. It is all ab surdity to argue that Congress has the right to pass a law giving to tile State tile right to absolutely control whiskey brought into the borders of the State as though it wore nmanufactired in tho Stato and yot powerless, if perchance a perjured barkeeper were to mainl tam1 it was for his own use and consumption. Judgo Simonton's tittor disregard for the Wilson Act and tho 'original packago' decision and ofhis own . decisions heroto fore rondered, show tile exteit to which those peoplo are willing to carry their animosity to tie law of the poople.

C., May 8.--Judge 11 GotT's dlocision inl the registrationi 10 case is v'ery len gthy and oxhiaus l37 ive. .He roviews the history of c- muents to the Fodo~ral constitLutLion fand put up al elioqulonlt plon for as the righlt of Negroes uinder them 1to enjoy tile unrestricted right of as su lrage. Thie conclulsionls reachi Sed by GoiT are as follows: lO "I find no warrant ill the conl P stitutiona for the certificates re ig quiiredl by tho registration laiw to )r be issued~ t~o the voter, the p)rodu1c w ion of which is requliredl at tihe polls11 or 1his voL) iS to be reje!ctedl. ls This is not registration, whlichl is '3 simply the enrlbnenilC~t on tile books or list of voters of tihe nameIIs of these qualifliedi under tihe con Istittution to vote but it is ani addli f. tional requirement to thoso n mientionodt ill tihe organic lawv and( 1illtond(1ed, 1 aml constaino-0l t~o bo lie, to impede the full, free and Ilegal expression of those entitlodi to exercise tihe right of sutYrage. SSuch req(uiremencit is unreasoable, ~burdefonim and hlarrassin~g and Sclearly it impedes and abridgos tihe Sright of lawfully constitutedl voters ~of the State to cast their ballots. TJhe addi11tional requirement that a voter maovinog fronm one1 pinlco to anlothler in the same precinlct muiist *surrondor his old andl secure a now certificato is without reason and( vexatious whili tihe mlel lrovi~ldd for securinlg a renewal in case of loss is so cumho~lrsome anld peculi arly strango that it likely fulfils its L object in dleterrinlg the ordmnary 0 voter from making the effort. Tho jregistration of voters closes on tige n first day of July proceeding a geni oral elodtion, which is hold in No. vembor following. What possible reason is there for this unreason able course? The only persons possible to register during four months procoding the election are those becoming of age during the period piovided they furnish sat isfactory proof. The constitution says that a. citizen who shall have been a resident of the State for one year and of the 'county inl which he offers to vote for sixty days next preceding the election shall be entitled to vote at such eloction, and yet he is prevented by this requirement from so doing. He has completed his one year's residence after the first dal of Ju ly, but ho can not ragister becauso the books are elosed, and he can not vote because his nanmo is .not upon the registration books. 1:30 a. m.-Broken for early mail.
