NBEWBERRY. S.C. U1E01M, JL 1 1893. CLEMSON COLLEGE. The opening of Clemson College on last Thursday marks the beginning of a new era in the~educational history of the State. About seven years ago the establishment of such a school first began to be seriously agitated in this State. To Governor, Till than any other one man credit for the' establishm1e college. By Act of Congress July 2, 1862, the interest from the find aridg from the sale 'of certain land scrip was appro priated for the maintainance of an ag ricultural and mechanical college iin each State. SouthtCarolina accepted this fund, and to conform to the pro visions of the Act added an agricul tural and mechanical department to the South Carolina College. Governor Tillman in the Farmers' Convention which met in Columbia April 29, 1886, introduced and strongly advocated the adoption of a set of reso Itionsurging upon the State the es tablishment of an agricultural and me chanical college separate and distinct from the South Carolina College and modeled after the plan of thi agricul tural college of Mississippi. In 1888 Thomas G. Clemson died, leaving eight hundred acres of the Jo47n C. Calhoun homestead and about $80,000 to the State on condition that the State would build, equip and p in operation an agricultural and me chanical college. This bequest infused new life into the movement for an ag ricultural college, and one of the lead Ing issues In State politics became the acceptance or rejection of this bequest The fight resulted in the acceptance 0 the bequest by the State in 188, dur Ing Richardson's administration. The next year Tillman became Gov ernor and has continued to take at active part in making he colleges suocess. Clemson College is destine to be one of the most potent factors ir the future development of the State. Gen.

A TOENADO PERIOD. Since the First of the Year 1'70 Have Beer Storm-Killed-The Weather Bureau Predictes the Iowa Cyclone. [Special to New York Press.1 .AsBTNGTON, July 8.-The deva stated Iowa counties were warned oj their danger twenty-four hours in ad :ance. At least the Weather Bureau, according to a bulletin issued to-night on the night of Wednesday, the 5th, sent messages throughout the State by telegraph and telephone, warning the people generally of severe local storwi on the next day. Chief Harrington in the same bulle. -tin says that the "residents of the States in the upper and central Missis sippi and Missouri should provide places of safe resort, such as a portion of the cellars in their houses, strongly protected." This is not because "there is a permanent change in the weather condition in the direction of the in crease of tornadoes, but this is an un usual year for their occurrence, as was the year 1883." *The records of the department show that since the first of the tornado crop of 1893 was harvested last February in Louisiana and Mississippi, the number of lives. lost has been 170, and the amount of property over $1,500,000. The area of destruction has included almost the whole of the Union, with the exception of the far West and North east. and covers, besides the States mentioned, Alabama, Georgia, Arkan sas Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, New York, West Virginia, Indian Territory, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Texas, Michigan. Wis consin, Tennessee, North and Soutb Carolina and Minnesota. The names of the States are printed in the chrono logical order of their visitation from February to Jne. Despite the heavy death and proper ty loss of this tornado year, no one calamity has in that time approached the Iowa diaster, which is the most severe of the' kind since that of March 27, 1890, at Louisville. WYANT CLEYELAND IMPEACHED. Pops'lsts in Ohio Resolve to Ask Congress to Fire the Presidenr. [From the New York World.1 COLUMBUs, Onro, July 4.-Only 243 of the 076 delegates accredited to the State Populist Convention appeared in convention here to-day. -This indi cates a following of not over 5,000 in the State. National Chairmen Taubeneck, in * his address, declared that an irrepress ible confiict between laboj and capital was at hand, and it was the part of a patriot to give warning. The platform adopted declares that the coinage question is and has been the all-important national question, and that both the old parties were pledged to mnonometalism, which would ruin the laboring classes. A State ticket was nominated. Just before the convention adjourned a resolution was offered demanding that the special session of Congress imi peach President Cleveland for pander ing to British financiers. It was received with cheers and passed unanimously. 4 DOWNED IN DARLINGTON. The Dispensary Act Declared Uncostitu tional-Judge Hudson Grants the Prayer for an Injunction Against the Darlington Board of Contmol. (Special to News and Courier.1 DARLINGTON, July 7.-Judge Hud son to-day decided that the Evans dis pensary law is unconstitutional. Thi decision was made in the case of sev. eral freehold, voters of the town o: Darlington against the county board o: control and J. B. Floyd as dispenser, it which the freeholders petitioned thal an injunction be issued restraining thi joard or Mr. Floyd from opening g dispensary here. The injunction wa asked tor-on the ground that the dis pensary law is unconstitutional and that J. B. Floyd, who was appointe dispenser, did not have a majority ol the freehold voters upon his petitioE for appointment. The main point upon which Judge Hudson decided thelaw to be uncon stitutional is that the State takes s business from the individual and cre ates a monopoly in it for itself. Thai prohibitory laws are constitutional, but the Evans bill is not such 'a law, but on the contrary is a law for revenue or profit. He also said that the famous Wilso Act of Congress does not prohibit the railroads from bringring from withoul the State liquor to citizens within the State. When the sale of liquor it prohibited by State law a citizen can not sell it, but that it is his property, and the railroads can deliver it to him This opiqW-n on the Wilson Act wai given pardthetically and does not bea on the case at issue. Judge Hudson further decided thai Floyd's appointment was illegal as hi did not have a majority of the freeholc voters upon his petition. The Judge therefore, issued an order restraininm the county board and Mr. Floyd fron opening a dispensary until furthei order from the Court. This, of course, is the most impor taft decision,rendered in this State ir many years and will be read witi great interest by everyone in Souti Carolina. 3fessrs Nettles & Nettles who represented the freeholders, wer sustained in every point by thedecision which disinterested lawyers pro nounced to be a particularly strong an( able one. Messrs Boyd & Brown re presented Mr. Floyd, and Assistan, Attorney-Gene.l Buchanan and Solici tor Johnson appeared for the board o control. The legal fight was a vigorous an' hard fought one, lasting nearly tw days. Judge Hudson is now puttinj his reasons for the decision in writing which I will forward toThe News an Courier as soon as filed. SYNOPSIS OF THE DECISION. The grounds upon which the injunc tion was asked are: First, Because the petition of Johi Buckner Floyd for the office of dispen ser is not signed by a majority of th freehold :voters of the town, and h! bond is invalid. Second, Because the act of 24th De cember, 1892, in so far as it provide for the establishment of S ate ani county Dispesaries for the sale of it toxicating liquors in the State, is un constitutional. Th6 defendants claim that the in junction should not be granted, because IFirst, The complaint is withou~ equity, inasmuch as it alleges n special or irreparable Injury to th plaintiffs, and Second, Because the court is with out jurisdiction in this proceeding ti try thetitle of J. B. Floyd to his office an action in 'the nature of quo warrantA being the, proper proceeding for tha purpose and the writ of certiorani be ing the only proceeding to -correct an, ?bpposed error of judgment of th board of control In granting the permit Judge Hudson says: ""I do not take such. a view of thi action. It is .brought by taxpayer and freehold voters, not to try title t oficee nor to correct error of judgmen~ in a judicial body, but to prevent th establishment of a1Dispensary withou a full compliance by the board and ap~ pli::ant for Dispenser with the essentia Iprerequisites of the act, and to preven the establishment of a Dispensary .alte gether if the act be unconstitutional. "Tere the injunction i apprpri - ed, ann in fact if the only e ' ~edy; and tax payers and voters of the tow1 can invoke the aid of the court c equity in such.an action without alleg ing or provingjspecial amage. "It is the right of the taxpayer ti avert the misappropriation of thetLaxe of the people by an illegal division C investment of the same and for thi purpose the doors of the courts ar always open to him." As to the number of freehold voter who had signed the petition of J. I Floyd, after hearing the many conflict ing affidavits presented, Judge Hudsoi says: "I am convinced, however, thatth petitioner, J. B. Floyd, did not secur on his petition a majority, and so hold "The act Is very stringent in requir ing the majority to sign freely, volur tarly and with a full understanding c thc meaning of the petition.9 IT IS UNGONSTITUTIONAL. Of the second clause he says, afte reviewing many authorities and citing numerous precedents: "Can the act of 24th December, 1892 now under consideration, be sustaine< as coming within the.police .power o the State? "In so far as it prohibits the mann facture and sale of intoxicating liquori in this State, it can. This question has long been settled by the courts of the States of the Union, and recently in express terms by our Supreme Court. "But the vital question is whethei it is constitutional for the Legislature to confer upon the government of this State, or any branch thereof, the ex elusive right to trade in intoxicating liquors and maintain the same frorr the treasury of the State? Can thal body divert the taxes of the people from the legitimate purposes of govern ment, and invest the money in the trade and traffic in intoxicating liquors t.o the exclusion of the right of the peo ple to deal therein? "There is no wax:rant in the constitu tion for the creation of so gigant~c a monopoly in any private individual 0r association of individuals. The attempt to erect such a monopoly would '-ery justly alarm and outrage the people, and would not stand the test of law. To confer upon an individual or a cor porati9tn, under wholesome rules and regulations, the exclusive right to sell intoxicating liquors in the State of South Carolina would be unconstita tional; not because such a grant is pro hibited expressly by the constitution, but because it is against the genius and spirit of all free govern ments, and it is in violation of the common law rights of the people, as handed down to us through the Magna Charts of King John, and which form the webn and woof and warp of our fundamental law and individual rights. "Neither in express terms nor by any implication have the people dele gated to this government, either in its legislative, executive or judicial depart ment, to engage in trade, traffic or commerce in competition with the peo ple, much less to their exclusion. rhe government cannot become sole pro prietor nor- copartner in any of the usual known branches of industry, trade or commerce. These are the pur suits and property of the people, which they have never surrendered to the government. On the contrary, the very object of creating the government was to protect them in these individual rights, to wit, life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness. "It violates the Fifth Amendment to I the Constitution of the United State. UA XN J VY _."UXLIP.L -. AL.a.. and Sections 11 and 13 of the Declara tions of rights of tde Constitution of South Carolina, designed to secure to every one accused of crime the right of trial by jury, in which he shall not be compelled to give evidence against himself. "It violates .Section 8, Article 1, of the Constitution, giving to Congress the power, among other things, to 'regu late commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes.' The decision in the 'original package cases' was that r such packages of liquor, large or small, transported from one State to another, could be sold In an unbroken state iu spite of prohibitory laws. Of course this rendered the prohibitory law of a State virtually nugatory. This led tc the act of Congress of 1890, known as the Wilson bill. Under this law the common carrier can transport the packages and deliver the same to the consignee, unmolested by State laws, but when received by the consignee the goods are then subject to State probibi tory laws. "It is usurpation of power, a perver sion of the ends, aims and principles of a republican government, unconstitu tional, null and void, except insofar as it prohibits.the sale of intoxicating liq uors within the State. In this prohibi tory feature alone is it justified as an exercise of police power; but when it proceeds to transfer the-traffic from the citizens to the Stats exclusively, it is divested of every feature of the police wer, and gives to the tralfic in intox iating liquors a sanction, a dignity and magnitude it never befo:e pos esessed." STILL ANOTHER INJU.CTION. LSpeclal to Columbia Journal.1 BAR'NWELL, S. C., July 10.-On Sat urday, the 7th Instant, Mr. A. S. Far row, of the firm of Howell, Murphy & I Farrow, of Walterboro, came to Barn , well and got a temporary injunction ) against the Dispenser at Walterboro. k T.e State is to show cause in four days, " Judge Aldrich was in Barnwell at the time, having come down from Aikei to preside at the sessions next week. THE DISPENSARY DEFIED-FIRSTSHIP ME9T OF BEER TO THIS STATE. LSpecial to Columbia Journal.] GREENVILLE, S. C., July 10.-Thc first shipment of beer since the EvanE - law went into effect came this morning i over the Richmond & Danville railroa . from the Robert Portner Brewing Com t pany depot, Charlotte, consigned to C, .

THE SUPREME HAS NOT DECLAREI THE LAW CONSTITUrIONAL. [Special to Augusta Chronicle.1 COLUMBIA, S. C., June 10.-Thi press dispatch sent out from this cit3 declaring that the decision of Judgt Hudson coneerning the dispensary lam . amounted to nothing, as the Supremi e Court of this State bad, in in;tbe Ches s ter case, last May, decided that that th4 law is constitutional is entirely erro neous. Only in certain respects urge y council was this the case as, for in stance, the objection relating to thi mandate that "every act shall relate t< but one subject, and that subject musi appear in the title thereof." The cour decided that in sueh respects the ac1 was constitutional, but went on to sa3 -that it would not undertake to conside t "whether tbe act c.ommonly known at the dispensary act contains other fea tures not applicable to these cases it confiet with the constitOtion of thil SState; our judgment must be con sidered as to these issues and none Sother" t ALLTAI4crmE TO XEET.

[Special to Nws and Courier.j a COLUMBIA, July 9.-It appears thal s the Alliance wants to know exactl: f "where" Governor Tillman "is at,' s and he, together with others, will be e asked to deliver an address before the Alliance, at a kind of reunion at Green s wood, on the 29th of the month. T b invitations ha not yet been received, . but Governor lllman will probably I attend. The question wit(the Allianci now is whether Tillman will consent t< s their "demands" or whether they will e ,bave to do tbe best they can withoul :GovernorTiliman. It seems to be prett3 .certain that Governor Tilitnan is dis .posed to remlain friends with the Alli f anco-he has plenty of other troubles The Third Party element in the or ganizattion says that unless Tillma; "accedes to all of our demands" we wil r find someone who will.

COLUMB1A, July 2.-Much satisfac tion and relief is felt here at the action of the syndicate which purchased the new 41 per cent. bonds of this State issued to,rege Ri per cent Brown corm sols due to-morrow, in to-day comn pleting the payment to the State treas ury of $5,250,000, the full amount for the new bonds. The syndicate is composed 'M the Baltimo"re frust and Guarantee Company of Baltimore, John L. WVil lams & Sons, of Richmond, Va., and R. A. Lancaster &.Co., of New York, -and their associates. They contract to take the new bonds made a few months ago. Trhe payment of the money, how. ever,. in the midst of the prevailing depression and stringency is regarded as a remarkable achievement, and will do much to ,eliev'e the pressure and make easier the money market in the State and restore confidence. It is thought hardly possible that any group of financiers could secure so large a sum in existing conditions. The State is now in position to meet her obliga tions promptly. _ A CENSUS INQUItY IN CAROLINA. seventy-one Per Cent of the Farmers Live on Hired Land. Special to News and Courier.] WASHINGTON, July 7.-The farm mortgage Investigation by the census bureau develops the tact that about 50 per cent of the families of the country do not own the roofs under which they are sheltered. In South Carolina 71 per cent. of the families hire their farms. According to the results' reached by this inquiry 61 per cent of the farms in South Carolina were cultivated in 1890 by tenants. B. M. L. RAILEOADS TAKE A HAND. The Ralro9d Commission Restrained From Enforcing Ibe Liquor Rates. CHARLESTON, S. C., July 8.-An or der has been received. from the Clerk of the United States Circuit Court restraining the Railroad Commission of South Carolina from enforcing the provitions of their latest schedule of rates on liquor. Hugh L. Bond, Jr., counsel for the receivers of the Rich mond and Danville Rilroad went be fore Judge Hugh L. Bond at Baltimore and presented a petition setting forth the circumstances of the case and pray ing for a temporary -injunction and rule to show cause. The petition is quite lengthy giving a complete history of the action of the Railroad Cnmmission in the matter. The principle grounds on which the petition is based are that the commis sion construes the Act of the Legisla ture of South Carolina in December, 1892, to make the freight rates estab lished by the Commission stand as fair and reasonable without allowing the roads to attempt to convince the Com mission to the contrary that the action of the Commission is null and void in asmuch as the law, if construed as they interpret it, will be a violation of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States and that the fixing of these unreasonably low rates on liquor in glass packages, as the dia pensary ships it,isan unlawful interfer ence with the property in the hands of the receivers of the court. Judge Bond issued the order prayed for and the hearing of the caso will come off At Greenville, August 7. 3acbman Chapel Chips. Mrs. Richard Martin' and children, of No. 6, spent Saturday and Sunday last with her sister, Mrs. J. K. Epps. Old Tommy Aull, one of . your old slavery time darkies, Mr. Editor, died of dropsy on Saturday, the 8th inst. Mr. and Mrs. Wicker, of Pomaria, were visiting relatives in this section last Sunday. There will be communion services at Bachman Chapel on the first Sunday in August. Preparatory services on Saturday previous at 11 a. m. S. J. Kinard was elected principal, with W. M. Bobb as alternate, to rep resent Bachman Chapel congregation at the Newberry Lutheran Confer ence, which convenes at St. Luke's Church, embracing the fifth Sunday of this month. Well, the primary election is all over and Mr. Mower has gotten the nomination. This gives the Conserva tive party a victory, which we suppose they feel proud of. Now we hope that everything will go on smoothly and lovely, and, the He6ald and News still continue to advocate peace and harmony. This was quite a peaceable election; just as they all should be. But this is in no wise a sign -that the Reform party is weakening. The far mers have been bound up among the grass so tightly for the past few weeks that they have had no possible time to spare for politics. We firmly believe I that instead of this defeat weakening the Reform party, it will only be a means of bringing them closer to gether. Not a bit of danger of the farmers disorganizing; they cannot af ford anything,of the kind so long as there are so many combinations organ ized against them. P We thought a little chastisement would do that young man some good, who has been throwing out some of his stunners among the young ladies. But it:seems that .he is determined to -carry out a full share of slang. He has been telling the young ladies how he loves -cowcumber picklee and ing uns cut up over beans, but is not very fond of tomatpe.He has thrown out a joedartr now that will stop some -of the girls and put them to thinking; he tells them that he has a fine patch of lasses cane growing. It seems as if we are to have a little polly tics and a few barbecues every year. It looks like they have the cart before the horse this time; the polly tics have ripened and been pulled, but the barbecues are just now In full bloom. You must come down next Saturday, Mr. Editor, to the Epps barbecue at the old Wilson place, near -Bachmian Chapel. Bring a few .of your politicians with,you, and if we cannot get up a little revival on pohi tics,' we will turn it into a regular old time gooseneck pulling. With ni'ne goosenecks in one drove, mixed with a few gander necks, five in another drove, with W. In the lead, we have 'a hipped old general green a fair fight and now stand ready to say, like the mau who came down stairs after his wife had killed the bear, "ain't we horses!"

Aull, A. B. Piester, T. P. Richardson, H. S. B. Kibler, J. W. Werts and T. A. Epting. IThe Jolly Street Sunday-school met on the first Sunday and partially re organized by electing Mr. P. B. EIli sor superintehdent, and J1. W. Werts assistant superintendent. The school will meet on next Sunday afternoon and elect teachers. There has been a long talk of conisol idation between the patrons of Ridge road "and Gallman Academy schools. Up to now it was all of no avail. But our efficient new School Commissioner -carrying into effect the new school law-says we must come together; and Ridgeroad and Gellman Academy schools will from now on only be kWown as a thing of the past. This district has been laid off. The lines run with Curl's creek on the southeast and Cannon's cree@i the northeast. It is also connected with the John *stone Academy line on the west side. At first this arrangement seemed to give perfect satisfaction, but like most everything else that happens nowa days, it sprung aileak in awhile and there was some kicking. But we are proud to say that that leak is about stopped up and we are going together like men, band i. hand, laying aside all back diff'erence and working for the educational interest of our children; and I believe in the course of a while we will have one among the best coun try schools in Newberry County. Yes, let us have peace and harmony, and whenever we work awhile in the line of unity we will find ourselves to be a pros rospeople . W.
