ELEE.T R ALL, Proprietam W3L P. HOOSEAi., f rpit~ ELBE,T-H. AHLT. EDITOP. CONSTITUTIONAL. Justice Gary, of the Supreme Court, came to Newberry on Sunday and bad a consultation with Justice Pope of the sam'e court and on Monday afternoon his written decision )n the dispensary act of 1893 was sent by express to the clerk of the court at Columbia. He and Justice Pope concur in the opin ion that the act of 1893 is constitutional. Justice Mclver dissents and holds to the same views asexpressed by him in a former opinion. The two opinions were printed in the daily papers yes terday. We present synopses of both in another column. The majority of the Court holding the view that the law is constitutional, the former opin _--iorof the-G2vurt is annulld and the law now stands. Gov. Tillman was correct In his judgment as to what were the .iews of Justice Gary on this point. We suppose he knew what he was talk ing about and what he was doing when Justice Gary was elected. We suppose now that renewed efforts will be put forth to have the law enforced. We trust that it will be done in such a manner and in such spirit as will cause as little friction as possible,J and tbuc avert riot and bloodshed. Justice Gary, in delivering the opin ion of the majority of the Court, lays down the following propositionses em bodying the principles governing the case: ".st. That liquor in its nature is dan gerous to the morals, good order, health and safety of the people, and is not to be placed on the same footing with the ordi nary commodities of life, such as corn, wheat, cotton, tobacco, potatoes, etc. "2nd. That the State, under its police can itself assume-ntire control and managenien-ef these subjects, such a. liquor, that are dangerous to the peace good order, health, and morals and wel fare of the people, even when trade is onc of the instruments of such entire control and management on the part of the State. "3d. Tnat the Act of 1993 i a polic( measure." Granting that the first proposition i. true and correct, and that, therefore the State has the right to take charg( of whiskey because it is dangerous t< the good morals of the country, doe! that mean that she shall sell it t< everybody and in sufficient quantitie to keep all the people drunk; and i this is done, how is the danger to th good morals averted by the State sell iag it instead of the individual ? I cannot be denied that the dispositiot of the administration under the law i. to establish as many dispensaries a. possible and to sell all the whiske3 that can be sold. In many cases t1A nensaries are established against the will of the majority of the citizens and in most of 'them, at least, every -body can buy whiskey who has th< money to pay for it. We cannot set how this plan of taking the sale out c the hand of the individual and putting it in theZhands of the State, througl -its agents, will help the good morals o: be conducive to the peace and healtl and safety of the people. Now if thes< are the objects in view with the law,i seems to us that the effort should b< on the part of the State to sell just a little whiskey as possible; or, in othe: words, to sell it only for medicinal an< mianufacturing purposes. But instea< of an effort to reduce the sale, the effor is made to sell as much as possible ii order that revenue may go into th' State treasury. The dispensary has some good feat ure, among which are the early closing and not selling in small drinks an< doing away with the allurements an< attractions of the bar room. But to sa; that whiskey is an enemy to the publi' safety and then in the next breath ti say that the State can sell as much a it pleases and to whom it pleases nni that whoever wants it and has th money can get all he wants has n< logic or reason in it. If whiskey is al enemy to the public safety and dangE rous to the morals of the people it is a *much so whether sold by the individu al or the State. But the Suprem Court has decided that the law is Con stitutional and as a-law abiding citizel -we advise everybody to bow to the wil of the Court and obey the law. Tb best way to get rid of a bad law is t have it esforced and if the people d not like it they will soon demand it removal from the statute books. AL3IOST A BIOT. There was almost a i iot in Greenvil] * on Monday growing out of an effortc a State constable to search a privat residence. There will continue to b * trouble in South CarolIna as long a this law remains on the Statute book: Free white American citizens an South Carolinians are not going to pe mit their homes to be invaded an -searched at the pleasure of disper sar constables. There is nothing sai about this man using his residence as place at which he sold whiskey. Hi wife was not well, and even the phys cian stood at the gate and forbade th entrance of the constable becausec the condition of the wife of Mr. Edel Gov. Tillman threatens to hav Sheriff Gilreath removed because b would not make the search in compan with the constable. The decision the Supreme Court will now have th effect of making more trouble. Bloodshed was averted at Greenville We hope it will be a warning. At Dal lington when there were threatsi< searching private *iouses there we bloodshed, and it will be every tim the effort is made to enter the sanctit of the home. This thing of a man home lbeing his castle may be all sent meet, but it is a sentiment for which man will die, and how could he di nobler than in the defense of his hom and those who loo1k to him for prote< tion. It is a sentimner t which has bee instilled from our earliest infanc3 We imbibed it at the mother's breas and it has become part of our nature This provision of the law hadi Sc not 'c too rigidly enforced unless it is de'sire to have bloodshed and involve th~ State in civil war. We believe in et forcing the law, but the constables wi find plenty to do without invadin priva'.e homes, especially when th physicians.say the life of the woma NO IALICE AFTERTHOUGHT. The Herald and News hd no inten tion nor desire to misrEpresent the esteemed Voice. We bear neither it nor any of its stockholdeti any ill-will. We bad been inform that the three gentlemen named we among its larg est stockholders and -e naturally sup posed that even ,ommon gratitude would make it feel ffn interest in its own and its chief founers. If we were mis taken we beg pardon. The Herald and News was founded in 1365 and traces its progenitors to the first paper founded in Newberry County -away back in tle fifties. Of our age we are proud and if with years we have not gained wisdom we have at least accumulated a store-house of experi ence. We hope it will not be consid ered a repr'ach to have grown old in the servic'of the people of our native county. fWe have devoted our best energpIand all the talents with which wi-re endowed to the promotion of the happiness and prosperity of the people of our native county. Many times we have been made to feel that our labors weie in vain and that ourservices were not appreciated. Then again we have had many words of encouragement and cheer and the people have stood by us and they shall continue to have our best efforts. We are extremely grateful for this support and shall labor to merit their favors. From out our store-house of experi ence and observation we would say to the esteemed Voice that it will find politicians very hard task masters and 'possessed of no gratitude. The Herald and News has never espoused the cause of any man who has sought office with in the county and it never expects to. We do not represent any faction but shall continue to look out for the best interests of the whole people, and try to publish a paper that is a fair and impartial purveyor of the news, advocat ing those principles that in our judg ment will redound to the best interests of all the people. This nugget of experi ence is given the esteemed Voice for what it is worth, and we make no charge for it. Remember that in 1893 the editor of the Voice, when he was editor of a paper at Prosperity. urged the people to "remember the 29th." We took his advice then, and while The Herald and News had no candi date we were satisfied with the result. In the recent primary The Herald and News had no candidates, but we would not be surprised if its editor was success ful in electing as many of the men he voted for in the county election as was the editor of the Voice. The Herald and News would have I the esteemed Voice to remember that The Herald and News is too old to entertain any feelings of jealousy and envy and that we have only the kind liest feelings for it. As we have before remarked this is supposed to be a free country and if any aggregation of men desire to plant their money in a newspaper venture we have no quar rel with them. As a parting admooi tion we would say to the esteeme Voice to console its soul in patience. A TRAFFIC IN VOTES. The,jHerald and News does not en Sjoy the pleasure of reading the Pied mont Headlight, but now and then we see chunks of wisdom and so forth Sfrom its columns copied by some of omi exchanges. It will be remembered that the editor of this paper is Col. T. Larry Gantt, who was brought to South Carolina because of his peculiar fitness as a champion of reform. For a while he presided over the destinies of te Columbia Register. Later he es tablished the Headligt't at Spartan' burg. He was a delegate to the late State convention. Many of his pet Ischemes and his favorites were lost in Sthe scuffle. From some extracts from Shis paper that have come under our vision.we would judge that he was somewhat diegusted with the way Sthings went. Not so much because his esense of justice was outraged, but Srater because he met defeat on several occasious. He say's the convention was "turned into a regular mart for strading and trafficing in votes." No -doubt there is much truth in tbis charge, and it is also very probably -true that many of the leaders in this sort of business got left themselves. 1We were laboring under the impression ethat one of thbe prime purposes of the Reform movement was to get a full oand free expression of the choice of the speople. For the delegates to turn the convention into a "mart for trading and trafficing in votes," does not look much like getting a full and free ex pression of the will of the people. Pos esibly we have been laboring under a delusion. Hear what Col. Gantt says efurther on the subject: "The will of the individual delegate ewas stifled, and the man who t'ad the Smost votes to swap was the cock of the m.political walk. Friends of the rival Scandidates would go from delegation to delegation, while the convention Iwas in session, with propositions to Clswap votes. NQ enquiry was made as yto the fitness of the candidates, but the donly requisite was how many votes he ahad to trade on. And this business did not stop here, but the subordinate Splaces within the gift of the several I-heads of departments were peddled out elikecountry produce, and sold in ad vance for votes, so we are reliably in formed. "It was with indignation that we saw eour great Reform movement thus de ebased and prostituted to satiate the gred of office-seekers." The Post, an afternoon paper, has ebeen started in Charleston. It is owned by ajoint stock company and will be ~edited Mr. Hartwell M. Ayer, recently of the Florence Times. There is a ' good field in Charleston for a progress Sive and bright afternoon daily. We ehope Mr. Ayer will be able to cultivate Ythis field. He is bright and energetic Sand young and has experience. We see no reason why he should not asucceed. We wish the new enterprise esuc~ess, and shall be glad to welcome ethe Post among our exchanges, though as yet we have received only one copy. We have received the first number ;tof a new paper at B3atesburg, John ~.Lake, editor. It has the odd name, e"This Way," and proposes to be partly dreligious, partly educational and partly elocal. The first number is well gotten up, newsy and reflects credit on our IIyoung friend Lake. We wish his eu gterprise success and the people of Bates eburg will do well to sustain this paper nby a liberal support. It will pay them THE NEWBERR_ MR. JUSTICE BENET ON CONSTITU TIONS. According to Judge W. C. Benet, whose charge to the grand jury at Columnbiaweipublish in anothercoluwn, there is no need of a constitutional convention, nor for that matter a con stitution. Really according to his opin ion we see very little use of a court. We have been taught to believe that it was the duty of the Supreme Court to inter. pret and construe statutes 1ind constitu tions, and if a statute was in conflict with the provisions of tLe constitution that it was the duty of the Court to say so, and that this particular statute would be null and void, but according to Mr. Benet this power "is neither inherent in the Courts them selves nor was it conferred npon them by the constitutions which created them." On this point Mr. Justice Story, who has been considered until the advent of Mr. Justice Benet, an authority on constitutional law, ssys: "The power of interpreting the laws necessarily involves the power to decide whether they are comformable to the constitution or not; and in a conflict between the laws, State or national, and the constitution, no one can doubt that the latter is and ought to be of paramount obligation and force. And accordingly it always has been deemed a function indispensable to the safety and liberty to the people that courts of justice should have the right to declare void such laws as violate the constitu tion. The framers of the constitution having these great principles in view unanimously adopted two fundamental resolutions on the subject; First, that a national judiciary ought to be estab lished and secondly that it ought to possess powers coextensive with those of the legislative department." We think that Mr. Justice Benet will find himself in a hopeless minority in this country of constitutional gov ernment. His deliverance may be good in England where they have no written constitution but it will not do for this country where our organic law is in the sbape of a written constitution. Maybe Mr. Justice Benet is only want ing a little prominence and newspaper notoriety. If that be true no doubt his ambition isgratified. Butthisis aserious matter and a judge on the bench should guard well his words and remember, though he be a native of England, he is' presiding over a Court in South Carolina. Judge W, C. Benet is making a re :ord. He has delivered a dissertation on constitutions, and -in a case be fore him in Columbia there was a negro man on the jury. The negro did not agree with the others on the panel with him and the result was, a mistrial 1rad to be ordered. Judge Benet delivered him a lecture and dis missed him from service and had his name stricken from the list of jurors drawn for the court. We thought that jurors had a right to reach their own conclusions from the law and evidence, and that they were responsible to no one for their con clusions from the law and the evidence. Not so in these days when, according to Judge Benet, we have no use for constitutions. The law is so careful of the right of the jury and its independ ence that it is error for a circuit judge to charge on the facts. But here is Judge Benet dismissing a juror from the panel because he did not agree with the other jurors and the learned judge on the facts. It has developed since that this man was correct for another prisoner has confessed as the guilty party in this particular case. Dr. Sampson Pope says he is really going to stay in the race for Governor to the finish and says he feels hopeful and sure of a victory. He is one of those sanguine and hopeful kind of men who always expect the good time to come to-morrow. A half dozen letters and as many telegrams from each county may be calculated to give a man a great deal of encouragement and bright hopes, but when it comes to votes they do not count for very much. Dr. Pope may get a great many votes and may be elected but we do not believe he will carry a county in the State. We would say to those esteemed co temporaries who seem to manifest an interest in the race of Mr. Frank Moon, of New berry, for governor, that he in forms us that he is still in the race and expects to remain to the close. He says he will have something to say to the pubic in a few days, but he does not want the impression to get abroad that he is out of the race for he is in to the finish. ________ Read the article on the South since the war. The power to recuperate, as is shown the South has done, is pos sessed by no other country or people on the face of the globe. Let us take courage. Our people will come out of the present financial crisis with their heads erect and their eyes to the front. We need to harbor our resources and eut off unnecessary expenses. The Democrats won in Georgia, but the Populist vote is much larger than we expected. The Populists have made great gains in the Legislature, and the Democratic majority is reduced to only about 30,000. We believe tbat Popu lism is stronger in Georgia than it is in Soute Carolina, if the issue were cleariy and sharply drawn. If the Populiste continue to grow in Georgia by the next election they will sweep the State. Abbeville has organized a Water, Light and Power Company and pro poses to put in electric lights and water works. What is the matter with Newberry? Does she propose to lag along behind in the march of progreQs? At one time she was the foremost amo.g the smaller towns. Now several have passed her. We need some young life thrown in the breach to move her along. WVhat's the matter with a young men's busmness league? We notice that The Cotton Plant now speaks of Rev. J. A. Sligh as Col. J. A. Sligh. This is a new title. But then the country is full of Colonels. Let every oue make up his mind to vote against a constitutional conven tion. There is no necessity for it and it will cost $50,000 to $75,000 and we have about as much taxes now as we can pay with five cents cotton. This is not a good time for making constitu tions. Vote it down and if there is any hange desired in the constitution we can make it by amendment without cost. HEIIA-LD A_1NI V?_ DISPENSARY WINS. The Supremue Court Mold thw Law Con stItittional-Judge Mciver DipLeut, and Staid; as Ile Did Berore. [Special to Atlanta Constituti+bn.] CoLU.MIA, S.C., October S.-For the second time Governor Tillman's liquor law came out of the hands of the Su preme Court this evening, on this occa sion completely rehabilitated. "The city council of Aiken- against Holly and George" was the title of the case in which Justices Pope and Gary, Tillmanites, sustain the dispensary, reversing the decision pronouncing it unconstitutional delivered by the court last April, when Samuel McGowan, anti-Tillmanite, was a member. McIver, adhering to his previous opinion, dis sents now. It will be remembered that the April decision was upon an act passed in 1892. On August 1st Gary, elected over McGowan last Dccemiber, succeeded him and a week previous Governor Tillman proclaimed in force the act of 1S93, which he had suspended in April. Since the proclamation the dispen saries have been running on full time and constables have been seizing con traband spirits. When the dispensary at Aiken was reopened the city couneil at once arrested George, the dispenser, and Holly, a member of the county Board of control, for violation of a city ordinance against the sale of liquor. The State carried the case before Circuit Judge Aldrich, -who sustained the city council, and then the State ap pealed to the Supreme Court. A special sesssion of the latter was immediately convened. WHAT JUSTICE GARY SAYS. In deciding the law constitutional Justice Gary says that the law is a police measure and that the State, under its police power can itself assume entire control and management of sub jects that are dangerous to the peace, good order, etc., of the people,, even when trade is one of the incidents of such control, and that liquor is such a subject. He quotes authorities to sbow that the saloon keeper does not sell li quor by reason of an inalienable right, but because such power has been dele gated to him by the government, and reasons from this that it would be an anomaly in the law to hold that the principal could delegate to an agent a greater power than the principal him self could exerci-e. The justice holds that "the dispensary act itself is an outgrowth of the dissatisfaction on the part of the people with the manner in which the police power, when delegat ed was abused." He holds that its primary object is not the raising of revenue and that it is within the power of the board of con trol to eliminate the profit feature alto gether. Such question, however, he declares, is not before the court. As to the objection that the act is re pugnant to the provisions of the consti tution as to taxation, he says that could only be sustained in case the object of the act is not the exercise of police power. The justice says that the objec tion as to the constitutionality of the act, on the ground that it creates a mo nopoly, is fully wet by the decision in the slaughter house cases, wherein the court declares that the legislature has the right to create a corporation when a certain result can best be attained by means thereof. He holds that the act does not violate section 1, article 1, of the State Constitution, as it does not deprive the respondent of an "inalien able right." Thbe justice says that the objection to the law, is that it embarks the State in a commercial enterprise, does not hold good as long as the buy ing and selling are in pursuance of po lice regulations. Concerning the ol jection that the law violates section S of the United States Constitution, and also the Wilson bill, Justice Gary says: "The intention of Congress was to deprive liquor of its national character as a sttect of commerce, make it local in its nature and subject it to the police power of the State until Congress should see fit to legislate upon it. It: was the intention of Congress to subor dinate the commercial power of the national government to the police power of the State on the subject of li quor." CHIEF .JUSTJCE MICIVER DIFFERS. Chief Justice Mclver on dissenting declares that the dispensary act rests upon the same principles as the old act which was declared unconstitutional. Also he referred to "the well settled and wholesome doctrine of stare decisis and the wiil of not adhering to the former decision of the court. He de clares that until it is shown-which never can be-that trade is one of the appropriate functions of civil govern ment, and statutes purporting to em-* bark the State in any trading enter prises is altogether beyond tbe com petency of the legislature, because it excludes the limitations upon the leg. islaive power necessarily implied from the express terms used in the constitution. The chief jus tice declares it a very dangerous doctrine, asserted in the former case, and again insisted in this case "that the police power of theState is limited only by thbe will of the legislature." He then takes up the argument, which, it will be remembered, was made from the bench last Monday by Circuit Judge iBenet in this city in his charge to the jury, that the courts have no right to inquire whether acts of the legislature or police regulations. -'I can't subscribe to any such doc trine," says the chief justice, "for it would subject the rights of the citizen secured to him by constitutional pro visions to the unrestrained will of the legisature, and would render absolute ly useless all the safegruards provided in the constitution for the protection of his rights against invasion by the law. abiding power of the govern ment. Burning Pain Erysipelas in Face and Eyes Inflamation Subdued and Tor tures Ended by Hood's.

A J Ytice McIver holds that the dis pet,9ry act is not a legitimate exereise of the police power, as this power can not be so extended as to authorize the State to engage in a tralic forbidden to a citizen. Concerning the argument that when a State issues license to a saloon keeper it delegates to him the exercise of the police power, lie says: "I do most emphatically deny the power of the legislature to delegate any portion of its legislative power-police power or otherwise--to a private citi zen, and, so far as I am informed, neither this State nor any other has ever undertaken to do so." The justice says that the provision allowing t he State to sell l'quor out side of its limits shows very clearly that the whole scope and intent of this legislation is to enable the State to monopolize the liquor traffic to the en tire exclusion of the citizen, with a view to the profit.of such traffic." He says that the dispensary legislation is neither the regulation of the traffie nor a prohibition of the same, but, on the contrary, is a scheme by which the State proposes to monopolize such traf fic to the entire exclusion of the citizen, and to force every customer who may desire to obtain spirituous liquors for any purpose to purchase the same from the State authorities at such a profit to the State as may be fixed by the des ignated State authorities, and hence, such legislation cannot he regarded as a legitimate exercise of the police pow er, and any legislation which, like the dispensary law, undertakes to embark the State on trade, is without constitu tior.al authority. The chief justice concludes by de claring that the law is a violation of the State and federal constitutions. It is understood that a vigorous war fare will now begin against the blind tigers, as the law is finally settled, un less modified by the legislature. co08a Bous8| BARDIN & WHITMIRE, Lessees. H. C.
