Cor.UMTUA, S. C., May 13.—There is
Btill much talk about the two decisions
of the United States court alTcctin<r the
two most important laws in the state.
Although nearly every one concedes
that the knocking out of the feature of
the dispensary law, preventing liquor
from being brought into the state, is
practically a death blow to the law.
Governor Kvans is declaring that the
profits will not be affected. This is in
the face of the claim that better liquors
can be delivered here from points out
side the state at lower rates than the
dispensary rates.
The elTect of the registration decision
Is of more vital concern in view of the
negro majority in the state and yester
day the state democratic executive com
mittee, controlled by the dominant ele
ment, was called by the state chair
man, Senator Irby, to meet here on
Wednesday night next. It is evidently
for the purpose of arranging to face
the new condition of affairs.
What. Governor Kvans Says.
0Lnst evening, Governor Kvans gave
to the representatives of the Southern
Associated Press the following inter
view, designed to express his belief as
to the future of the dispensary law and
the effect of the decision upon it. The
governor said:
The practical operations of the dispensary
are not interfered with lu the slightest. The
great nuinher of patrons of the dispensary aro
people who tire In sympitliy with the law.
Those who have* been forced to patronb.e it
belong to the class who ernnot afford to import
for their own use. The source of n emie is
from the-ale of the cheap- r gniib •< -f w ti -hy
In (ptantitl - of otjo-!i:’lf plat. Tin --c people
cannot afford to Import.
The only competition that could come would
bo from blind, tigers and old t.b My dealers,
who under the also of Inutorilng for their
own use. will endeavor to supply the - :!. Thi -
will bo cheek-mated by a more str'-nuous ef
fort than keretofor • to p-osecitlc them under
section .’•J, of the i •pen- try law. This is the
section with h provide - : r injun-ti n, and the
entiro vigilance of the Ispcn-ary force will
be centered up on the !Te ’ tfat'deker. Ono or
two convictions will . > a put an < n ! to tb-
tradle and this will be done without rteotir.-o
to juries.
Metropolitan I’nSlee Idesk
If we find that th‘-poliei of the towns do not
co-operato with us in i-i- s-in ; the lllirit
sales of whiskey. 1 will imim da.lely p/nee
every town in the state umjpr the operation of
the metropolitan police law. This will be of
Amter advantage to the enforcement of the
la^than the employment of the constables,
and will save to the state ?-l.a 0 :i month which
we are now cxp< ndit.g for the constables. The
row ef the illicit tradicker will be a liiird n:td
Stumpy une. end the resources for making it so
are abundant. 1 shall not hesitate to use
them. So instead of being a d* nth blow to the
dispensary, if this decision is sustained by the
supreme court of the United Strtes—and I ran
hardly see how it ran tie—-yet, we will make it
an advantage to the law. by reason of this
saving in expense of its execution.
There Is no opposition to the law in any part
Of the state except in tie-cities of Charleston
and Columbia and very little in the latter city.
The foreign element is the bone of contention
In the former city, and they will never become
reconciled to onr institutions.
In spite oT the fuel ilii'L the great benellts of
thed.ispen-r.ry hew are reaped by our entire
"people. Jhohiw has recently iieen enacted in
the state of NWth C.'atldiuit etui will bo I.if.
state of Georgiiv-at the next session of the
letdsljture. and rfiw account!, for the ib roo
battle waged upon it by the whiskey tr si,
who succeed in buying up United Slates
Judges.
Test Case Heine Made.
Let not the friends of the law be discouraged:
its success is assured and they will livetosoe
its adoption by a majority of the states of the
American Union. The days of the bar-room
are over, and the influence of the bar-keeper
destroyed In South Carolina, and I am satistied
it will he In the nation at no late day.
A test case is already being m ide in Charles
ton to carry the law to the supreme court of
the United States, and we expect a d eislon in
twenty days. We will take the case up on
habeas corpus proceedings. In the me - rit ime,
the constables will watch the shipt:'-"ts of
liquor Into the state and will not si bm any
packages unless they have drong grounds to
believe that it is not for personal use.
Ids to the decision In the registration case
aid our position on that matter, tJovernor
Kvans said. "I will simply say there will lie a
straight light now between the white p an end
the nlgge-r. and God save the white man that
goes to the negro. Heyoud this. 1 have noth
ing more to say than I have already said."
While giving the above interview,
Governor Evans received notice that a
UnitediStates marshal had arrested one
of his liquor constables who had made
a seizure in Ucaufort in defiance of
Judge Simonton’s injunction. What
will be done about it is not known as
yet. Assistant Attorney General Town
send is now in Charleston at work on
the case Governor Kvans refers to.

Drooklyn Jockey club handicap was
run at Gravesend yesterday and was
won by Hornpipe. The result was a
complete surprise, only one of the
horses that was well supported in the
ring, finished among the leaders. I.az-
zamne got the second place and game
little Sir Walter was third. The last
named was in active demand on the
future books and was heavilj’ backed
on the track. Hornpipe and Lazza
ro no opened at 20 to 1 obtainable each
and closed tit fifteen to one. Rampo
and Dr. Dice were dual first favorites
during the early quotations but Rampo
had a slight call over last year's winner
of the prize at the close. Taral who
rode Dr. Rice, is the regular Keene
jockey. He did not entertain the
slightest fear of Hornpipe. lie had a
wholesome respect for Key el Santa
Anita and Rama no. As Taral left the
paddock, II. Lakeland, who trains for
James R., and F. P. Keene, remarked
“TIornpike will boat you any way.”
Taral took the remark as a joke and
laughed.

ls Meselgiil With Invitations to Deliver
“SonnU Money" Specchra.
Washington, May 10.—Secretary Car-
;b le is receiving numerous invitations
to deliver “sound money” speeches in
various parts of the west and south
west, but on account of public business
will be unable to accept any invita
tions other than those already an
nounced. Among the cities which in
vitations have been received are Cin
cinnati, ().; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Nash
ville, Tenn.; Russellville, Ivy., and Lex
ington, Ky.
Secretary Carlisle, it is understood,
has two distinct objects in view in the
stumping tour in question. He goes to
Memphis to present t in; administration
tiido of the money question, and he goes
to Kentucky to square himself with
those of his old democratic constitu
ents who, with or without authority,
insist upon the charge that since as
suming his present oiliee he lias revers
ed himself ns to silver. The one
speech, therefore—the Memphis speech
— will be addressed to the country at
large, while the speeches delivered in
Kentucky will be in a certain sense
local in their topic and treatment, but
not improbably, it is thought, the Ken
tucky speeches will exceed Hie Mem
phis speech in interest. The adminis
tration’s attitude on finance is already
understood. Mr. Carlisle, at best, and
with all of his powers of clear state
ment, can only hope to emphasize it.

needed, ns the Cuban rebellon is practi-
eally at tin end. This is due to reports
made by General Campus, commander-
in-ehiet of th" Spanish forces in Cuba,
that no further ships or materials of
war need be sent him. The gunboat
’.va- to have been of the latest design
of swift and .‘mall craft, suitable for
navigating the shallow water of the
( auto, which is a main artery of com
munication to the interior of Cuba.
She was to be capable of transporting
400 troops inland, ! :i) tons burden, and
to draw not more than four feet of
water.
Minsister Dupuy de j/ome of Spain
says the Tampa story ns to a bloody
battle, in which 1.000 or more Spanish
troops were slaughtered, is absurd. He
does not regard a denial necessary, but
he expresses surprise that the public
should l>e misled into crediting a trag
edy, widen, if true, would be of such
magnitude ns to be known by the
whole world.
Mfmphis, Tenn., May Hi.—Yesterday
was Arkansas day at Camp SeholieM,
the seat of the great interstate drill
and encampment lu progre s here. Six
thousand people gathered t » see the
companies drill, fully ".<> m coming from
Arkansas. Little Rock was well repre
sented. The Fletcher Zouaves of that
city drilled first and made a fine im-
* prossion. Later came tiie Morton < ti-
i dots, of Washington, D. C.. who per
haps eclipsed anything in the way of
drill work done here since the big
affair began. They stand a good
chance of winning first prize and the
famous Galveston cup which the Na
tional Fencibles, of Washington, now
hold. The McCarthy Light Guards, of
Little Rock, who have a national repu
tation because of their many victories
at interstate drills, drilled last yester-
1 day. Barring an error, that of omit
ting to give inspection orders, their
drill was excellent, and the Arkansas
I contingent manifested its delight fre
quently. Company 1), Third United
, States cavalry, gave an exhibition drill
| during the afternoon.
Today the Chickasaw Guards and the
Governor's Guards, of this city will
drill, as will also the Thurston FitVs,
of Omaha. The wcaA'.er h: ■ been ideal
and the atteu lane.’ large. On Friday
the National Fencibles will drill.

■ Dogget at one.: we:it. to the whit). Sir
Walter responded nobly ami again his
name rang in the air. La*z/.arone came
ttgain and war, promptly challenged by
Hornpipe who had crept up almost un
observed. A desperate struggle en
sued. Tho task was too great for Laz-
eiroiie. He faltered under the fierce
attack of whip and spur. This cost
him the race. Hornpipe, running true
to the last, won by a good neck. Lnz-
Z'lro te heat Sir Walter a length and a
hall for the place. Counter Tenor, the
. three-year-old, who went begging at
fifty to one, was ridden in and around
his field its if he were a polo pony and
was fourth. In the hands of a capable
jockey this colt would have given
Hornpipe an argument.
Tn speaking of the race afterwards,
' Murphy said that when he began to
tn »ve up with La/./.arone he got so
much mud in his face he deluded to
rush him to the front at onee. Hamil
ton, who rode the winner, said that the
other jockeys rode their racing at tho
start tind he did his at the finish.
Hornpipe pulled up lame but cooled
out all right. Hecould not have gone
a mile on a dry track. Taral said that
Hornpipe was a better horse than he
had any idea of, but considered Lazza-
rone the best horse iu the race. He
had no excuse to make for Dr. Rice's
defeat. ____________

Was'iinoton. May It).—The depart

ing report from the United States Con
sul General Thomas R. Jernigan, of
North Carolina, stationed at Shanghai.
China, on our trade relations with that
empire. Noting a falling off in the im
portations of domestic cottons from the
United States as ’.veil as Great Britain,
Mr. Jernigan advances the opinion that
the manufacture of cotton cloth by
China and Japan is responsible for the
decrease.
In 1 Stilt the first spinning mill was
erected in Japan with 5,456 spindles; in
iss:; there were sixteen mills with 4:t,Ti)0
spindles, and in 1*95 there were forty-
six mills with some 600,000 spindles.
The statistics regarding the industry in
China have not been published, but
a very conservative estimate is that
the end of this year will witness
660,000 spindles, o.ooo looms, besides
numerous cotton gins ready to operate
in fifteen cotton mills.
