C., May 9, 1898. By the courtesy of Capt. F. W. Hig ,ins, the cilicient Superintendent of Education of Newborry County, your O)rrespondent had the pleasure of at tending the closing exercises of St. Luke's Academy, Saturday the 7th in stant. Starting from Newberry at 10.30 we covered the 12 miles in less than 2 hours going via Prosperity, St. Luke's Academy being 4 miles below Prosperity. We passed the famous old Stony Battery site. This used to be the ol! muster ground before the war, and kquite a number of interesting stories have been told of this famous old place both during the Revolution and nullifleation days. It is still fa mous as a stumping ground of the can didates for the various state and county ofylees and Capt. Higgins tells me that the candidates here face possibly the largest audiences of any place in the county,-and the votes of the sturdy youmanry of the Stony Battery section are eagorly sought after by all candi dates. The Captain told me of some amusing Incidents in his experience when he made his first canvass through this section, when he was an entire stranger to the people. One of which was when he was passing down the road he came to a field of corn where fodder pulling was going on. He stopped, hitched his horse, pulled off his coat, jumped ovnr the fence and waded into that field of corn and began pulling fodder without asking anyono's Permission or letting hinelf be knowi.. Being an expert at this b'usiness he far outstripped the other pullers who watched him in open-eyed astonish mont. They asked "Stranger who are you?". le told them "Oh, just one of the boys, you will know me some of these times," and got in his buggy and drove on. Not long afterwards the campaign meeting took place at Stony Battery. When he was introduced and arose, a man way over in the crowd yelled out, "Say boys that is the little fellow who did the fodder pulling, and I'll be gol darned if I ain't going to vote for him," and the boys in that seot.ion just piled in the votes for him whed the time caine. When we arrived at St. Luke's I was utterly astonished at the number of v.hicles. The woods seemed to be full of them, and I could very readily understand that a place that could get .togother such a crowd as that at the closing.exercises of a school would be an attractive place for the stump speaker. It, reminded me very forcibly of the old timo camp meeting crowd that used to gather at the camp ground in this county, and by the way, I no ticed in returning by the Kilgore road for the first time in 12 years that the old f4miliur camp ground has undergone quite a change. The beautiful grove bf oaks and pines, under which' thous ands of Newberrians have spread their picnic cloths and enjoyed such delica cies as. only the ladies of Newberry County know so well how -to prepare. The 01(1 harbor, with its hundreds of plank seats, and heavy carpeting of new mown hay, where the people gath ered by the t.housand .to listen to the preachers 3 times a day. Trho old fa miliar sites for the temporary family tents, are all things of the p)ast, and the beautiful woods have been felled to the ground. and the plant wvith the fleey plumage standA in their stead. King cotton has won another victory and captured this sacred territory unto Itself. It makes one feel sad and some .what dlisappoited to pass over thes scenes of his childhood and find that 15 y'ears have wrought such great changes, that the pic~ture in his mind's eye while approach ing is completely destroyed. Trhe exercises of St. Luke's Academy which school has been in charge of Prof. A. E. P. Bocdcnbaugh, assisted by Miss Lillian Luther (wvho have shown by their work that the school was in good hands,) openIed with prayer by the Rev. 0. S. Beard in at 10.30 after a photograph of the school had been taken. .There are 87? scholars enrolled in t.his thriving school, quite a large numlier of whom took part in the closing exercises, which consisted of addresses, orations, dialogues, recitations, and tableaus. The opening address was gotten up in a very catchy manner. The young man. who delivered It camne upon the stage, sup)posed to be in the woods, rc hears.ing his speech for thme morrow. Ii e was (discovered by two schoolmates w ho gumied him and wa'nted to knew whsere the crowd was to whom ho was sp)eakcing. They then offered him ad vice about, how to deliver his speech, and as a consequence when he returned to deliver the speech he got it .glori ously confused. The n'ext picce ou the programme wvas Merry i.ay by 20 olil dIron of this session. Miss Essie May Moor.e was the pretty little queen of the occasion. The following char'acters wvore represented by the children Fun an1i Frolic, Jolliti, Duty, Pubility, Modesty, Pride, Vanity Beauty, News boy, Boot Black. The May party con sisted of two parts. The secoud part consisted of the flowers of May, the girls bearing different varieties of flowers with appropriato words. An oration "Ideals" by Mr. Willie Budenbaugh wao well rendered. This was followed by a song by a large class. A pretty little tableau "Innocence" was then presented, Little Mattio Feilers was slumbering in a air. The thrilling recitation "Asleep at. tho Switch" was rendered by M iss Ellie Hawkins. The motion song by the lit tie girls was very pretty. The four points of the compass was presented forming the word "news," Sula Hipp, north; Lizzue Hawkins, east; Kate Whitnan, West; Miinlie Boozer, south. A dialogue, "Presbytorian Maid," by Mr. Morris Hawkins and Aiss Mary Minick, with a big argument on preor dination was well received. "Which flower would you rather be?" Each flower represented by girls in the piece. Hard to decide, all pretty. A negro dialogue brought chees. "Little girl's best friend," by Olic Aorris, showing that the one who walted upon her in sickness and need was her best, friend. This was followed by "Little boy's best friend" by Ho1po Morris, who decided that ho was his own best friend as he had to look out for no one and he hung on to his orange. A piretty tab leau wits the pi-esented, v'ery appropri ate to these turbulent times, "Young soldier dreaming of home. The sol dier in blue with rillo and sword was reclining upon his blanket wyhile old glory stood hard by. A young lady concealed gave voice to his dream in song. It was very pretty and one could not help thinking of Our.' soldier boys so recently left home and wonder how many of them were already thinking and dreaming of home and mother. This was followed by Cuba Libre, re cited by Aliss INlollie Whitman, whose closing w,-ds declared that Cuba shall be free. 'lhen caum the song of the flying squadron. Wherc the battic is raging the fiercest they'll be there. At 12.30 dinner was announced and the crowd lost no time in surrounding 'the table, 150 feet long, literally groanl ing under its weight, of overy immag inable varioty of nice thintgs to eat. Though tho crowd was large and seem ingly hungry there was plenty left and the table did not have the usual ap pearance of having been swept by a cyclone when all had finished. The good ladies of this section certainly know how to preparo for a pienic. Exercises Wer continued at 1.30 with song by tho young peopl, seven of the pupils of tho second year. Then came recitation, Charmed life, by Miss Mary RCnick. Oration by Mauric0.Hopkins ver-y good. Song, Red white and blue wi'th tableau, soldier waving old glory to music. Twinkle little star by little Bessie Nichols. "Awful" by Clifford Boozer, recounting the many awful things of life in an awful funny manner brought down the house. Lover's part ing by Willie ledenhaugh and Aliss Molli Whittiman was very natural and brought, a smile from many an old stager who had been there. it is mnighty hard for a fellow to tear him self away From his best girl, even though the wee sma' hours heyant t.he twal admonish the lover to begone. T1he wounded soldier waiting on the battle field.by Miss Ola Sehumtpert, aind the dying sold1ier' or somebody's dari ling by Miss IEssie Alooni were both good. Four lit.t-le rosebuds by foiur lit. tic girls wit,h roses wats very pretty. The farmer and wife's battle with tihe old hen was .a funny ex per'iee anud app)reciated by all those who have at temp)ted to mlake a setting hon change her nest. Tight times by William Fellers, w ho longed for the dl ay to conmc when the eternal ely of tight times would be heard do more. lcight boys then appeared onl t'. ltatge andl( wihistled tight,. times away. One of the best p)ieces wvas "'Tile Kerfew shall not ring tonight" by Miss Studio Taylor. The Rob1 and the Yankee in the Cuban war', whore the blue [and( the gra*y met hand in hand to fight, the comn mton foe. No nort,h no south now but, we stanid side b)y side to do batt,le for outr cotutry. The eJxcreises woro0 inters5persed with music, which tadded very materially to tho occasionl, especiallly MI's. WV. 1i. Nichols, Mrs. C. It. M inick and Mr. . S. Morris with their' violins accoi pantied by Mres. Willie Booz.er on the organ. The choir was composed of 8 ladies and 8 young men. The girls in thour beautiftul white dresses uand withl their well rounded forms and rosy chleeks looked just too sweet. C'apt. Higgins was asked -to give the young peoplO a tatlkI.

Spaina's Atempt to Copture the Seaboard Air Line. [Evening Jonrnal, Lincoln, N. C.J Tiho Seaboard Air Line is greatly excited over the attempt Spain is making to capture Col.

Tao Itiglt of tih Sttato to Control the Hail of Liquor, by Virtue or,iis 'olico 1'ow era Included the itighkt to Conduct tho PIurchasand Sale of Llquorti Through Stute Oflilaoi and to Prove ut the Sile of Liqors Within the State hy Ally Othe-r Peraons thian the Oftlelais Designtated tor that 1Prpotw. (Nows and Courier.) Washington, May 9.-The Su. preme Court today handed down its decision in the case of Vance, Bahr ot al against the W. A. Vandorcook Company, appoaled froim the Circuit Court of South Carolina, and the otect of that decision is that tho validity of the di.sponiary law in its vitc.1 parts is sustittned. The dec: sion places the South Carolina law clearly wi(hin the police powers of the State. The right of the State to forbid the sale of liquors in the original packages the Court holds to be clear, and it regards the dispen. sary law as moroly voicing that right. The opinion of the Court was de livered by Justice White. It affirms part of the decision of the Court bolow and reverses part. Chief Jus tico Fuller and Justice Shiras and McKonna dissented as to the portion of the opinion reversing any part of the opinion of the Court bolow, but, the other members of the Court agreed with Justico White. In his opinion J-tieo White re views at some length the decision of the Court in the cases of Scott, against Donald mid explains that in neither case was the question raised whether the Stato could, without violating the Constitution, confer upon cortain 61i1cors and agents the solo powor to buy all liquors which wero to b sold in the State, rnd allowing no other liquor to be sold. Ho explained that the present law, while similar in general scope to that passed upon in the foiinor decisions, was different in many particulars, the clauses which had been found under those former decisions to op orate as discriminating against cit izens of other States having been eliminated. Justice White set out the three grounds upon which the constitutionality of the law is denied by the decision of Judge Simonton, and pointed out that two of these go to the very root of the law itself, while the third is narrower in its purport, only assailing as .ttconsti tutional the p)art icubir restrict ions which the State puts upon the rights of persons of another State to ship to South Carolina, and of residoents of that State to receive liquor for their own use. Upon this latter feature of the ease Judge Simonton is uiphold(. The Court is unanimous ini allirming his decision. But on the other two p)oints, which go iat the very iroot of the law, Judge Sinmonton is iroversed and the law is up)hold. The language of Justice White in summing up the Court's decision is this: "It follows from the foregoing that the decr3e below rendered wvas wvell founded in so far as it restrained the defendants from seizing the prop erty shipped into the State of South Carolina on the ordlers of such resi dents for their ownr use, because said shipments had not been mad(o in compliance wvith the regulations of the law of South Carolina. But it further followvs that the diecree holowv was wrong in so far as it rest rainetd tihe Stateof'icors from levying upon the prop)erty of the comiplainanit for the puirposo of being stored therein in originaul packages and from inter. fering with such sales. These con clusions require thant thle judgment below be alirmed in part and re vetrsod in part. This renders it neocersary to remand the ca1st to the C< 't below with insi ruictijons to eontor a dece-o setting aside the in-. junction and dismissing the bill to the exteont above indicated and pier petuat ing thin injunction only in so far as it is above pointed out, the whole ia accordance with the views hereinabove expressed, and it is so ordered." The effect of t.his dision in that the inspection provision of the law ii tantamount to a denial of the right of inter State commerce and thorefore antagonistic to the Consti Lution of the United State, while in all other essontial respects the law is held to be valid. The decision of the Court was widely discussed Among South Carolinta peoplo here. Sonator Tillnan, in discuvsing it, aid: "It soomis to i. the dispov. ir law is decidedly on top. With this locision the mero question of sup. pressing blind tigers will not bo very iillicult. 'The only modification mado aecessary by this decision is as to the requiremet for the analysis and inspection of liquor imported for privato use, and it will not bo very liflicult to imet this. I believe this lecision of the Court means that the puestion 's set tlod for all time, so fa as the Uiated States is con -erned, and th disponsary system will be left. alone to work out its >%vn destiny. All that. Governor El lerbo will have to do is to reorganizo the constItinhir-Y, and, if necessary, Liso the metropolitan police and on Force th) law; in other words, sup press the illicit sales. 1 think the Uovernor conid well afford to do. uilare an amnesty and facilitato tho Lxportation of all liquors now hold by the original plackago peoplo, with the understanditig that after a "ertain diay the law will bo enforced with all vigor. In other words, now that. the law is dtvelared constitution al it might be well to tako a now sait with thoso who havO gono into the illicit sale with the idea that, the law unconstitutional." Commentig upon tho polit.Ad offect of the decision, Senator Till man said 1ho beliieved the d1eision would strengthon tho Governor as well as the Reform Movenment, very Sonator McLaurin said: "This do cision takes the matter out of the Courts and leaves its sottlement, to the people. It means that the dis posary law is a fixture, and ' ill never be changod unless there is a change in sontiment of the people, and that is reflected through State legislation. The decision puts the vital features.of the dispensary law nocessary to its enforcement within the police powers of the State. It is a very important decision, and doubt less will load to experimeuts of the sano nature a1s tho South Carolina dispensary in other States. I th ink," he added, ''that the decision will have a very marked effect on the campaign in South Carolhna. I reo gard it as favorable to the ro.elec tion of our1 preVsent Governor."' I asked him about the bill now pending before the House. lie said: "No further legislation by Congress on the subject is necessary. The de cision of the Supreme Courvt,'" lhe added, "'completely elimi inatoes every question of doubt as io the validity of the law. .As a judicial initorpro tation of the efoet of the Wilson Act it is of very great importance in a commercial way, as affecting the tradoe between the St ates 'md1( (defin ing oxactly what th oi0 co powers of tihe States aire."
