In a subsequent decision, the court still ignoring the act of 1893, above mentioned, construed its decision to mean "there can be no legal sale of liqnor by license, but has seemingly on purpose, omitted to mention or construe the act of 1893, and Whereas, the State of South Carolina, acting in good faith through the exec utive branch of the government, and relying upon the decision of the su- ? ireme court in the case of Hoover va. he town counsel of Chester, in which It was declared that the act of 1892, “was in effect an act to regulate the sale of spirituous liquors, the power to do which is universally recognised” has invested large sums of money In liquors for sale under the provisions of the two acts mentioned, and Whereas, this liquor Is now being held at heavy expense, while the state la flooded wRh contraband whiskey, sold without authority of law, Eow, therefore, 1, B.

ANOTHER POPULIST PLANK. Rxvcutir* Commute# of the New Teak Orgftnis*tion on New York, July 25.—H. Arden Spen cer of the people’s party says that the executive committee of the New York organization have prepared the follow ing plank, which is New York’s con tribution to the platform which will t» adopted at the state convention to be held at Saratoga Septemberand 18: \Ve believe in absolute democracy, which, under the initiative and refer endum. will place the law-making pow er in the hands of the people, and there by bring to their vote every needed right and reforai respecting the indus tries, circulating medium, taxation, womanhood suffrage, proportional rep resentation, blanket ballot, excise law, and other measures. The real ownership of land is now, as it ever has been in reality vested in the state and, indirectly, in the coun ties and municipalities. If any man doubts this proposition, a refusal to pay his rental taxes will convince him of ita truth. The governing powers should, in equity, levy upon all lanJLkold away from the hand of labor for speculative increment, and, irrespective of improve ments on land, tax it into use. It is considered certain that this plank will be adopted. 1 JUST THIRTY YEARS AGO. The Anniversary of the Moody Rattle of Atlanta Celebrated la That CHy. Ati.anta, July 24.—Yesterday the thirtieth anniversary of the great bat tle of Atlanta was appropriately cele brated at Grant’s park.

At the mines near Pratt city where the second regiment is on duty, shots were fired at sentinels all during the night. Three men were captured. With these exceptions everything is quiet, though it is generally conceded that should the troops be removed hos tilities would again resume and with perhaps more disastrous results.

Stlrrlnx Spectacle oa tho Floor of she Senate Folttlrml Gladiators la tho Combat of Their Lire# The Tariff Bill’s Program, Washington, July 24.—Not for many a year has the senate chamber, rich as It is in historic reminiscences, witnessed a more stirring spectacle than that which took place there yesterday. The knowledge that Senator Gorman was to take np the gauntlet thrown down by President Cleveland at the feet of dem ocratic senators attracted to the capitol a large part of the visitors snd people of leisure who take delight in the com bats of political gladiators. Senator Gorman was In his best fight ing trim. Never did he acquit himself of a task in connection with his sena torial duties in a manner so calculated to win praise for himself. Without a note or a memorandum to refer to, or to refresh his memory, he held the floor for nearly three hours, exhibiting powers of oratory which few even of his warmest political admirers would have given him credit for. For all that time he was the leatral figure on which every eye in the Immense as semblage of spectators and senators were fixed, and to whose words every ear was turned in closest attention. Gorman's Sensational Attack. He accused the president of ingrati tude to the men who had stood by him in the “filth and slime” of his first cam paign and who had given their time and labor and wealth to secure his second election (referring in this connection to Senator Brice of Ohio, especially), and asserted that the conference bill as pre pared by Senators Jones of Arkansas, and Vest of Missouri, and as finally passed by the senate, had been submit ted on several occasions to the secreta ry of the treasury and the president, and had received the assent and approval of both of them ; and that it was not until after the publication of the Wilson let ter that the hostility of the president to the senate bill had been known or sus pected. General Gorman’s assertions on that point were fully corroborated and with all necessary detail by Senators Jones and Vest, and also by Senator Harris who described two interviews which he had had with the president—the last of them while the hill was in conference— from which he had come away with the distinct understanding that the presi dent was strongly in favor of the bill as it passed the senate “if no better terms could be obtained.” No Action Taken. Interest did not abate as Senator Gorman dropped for the time being from the more sensational features of his speech, and gave attention to the rates of duty in the hill. The floor at this time was crowded. Every senator in town occupied his chair and every vacant place was filled bya member of the house. So great was the influx oi representatives that chairs for their ac commodation were placed around the walls, but these were not sufficient and three score or more of them were obliged to stand. Even the usually vacant diplomatic gallery was comfort ably filled at this point and apparently the most interested spectator there was Sir Julian Pauncefote. the British am bassador. Senator White of California, made a short speech in favor of the motion to insist on the senate amendments and to agree to further conference, and then without action on any pending motions, the senate at 3:49 adjourned. In the House. In the house yesterday a hill to revise the boundary between the eastern and western judicial districts of North Car olina, and fixing the time of holding ooert at Raleigh, Wilmington. New- berne and Elizabeth City, was passed. Committees were then called for reports. This having been completed, the speaker announced that next in order was a vote on the bill discussed Satur day directing the re-employment as fast si vacancies occur, of the railroad postal clerks, who were dismissed from the service between March 15th and May 1st, 1889. The vote resulted: Yeas 121; nays S3; not voting 3. A call of the house was ordered to determine whether or not a quorum was at the capitol. The call was answered by 180 members, one more than a quorum. Mr. Bynum offered a resolution directing the sergeant-at-arms to arrest such members as were absent without leave. No quorum could be had. TRAGEDY AT MEMPHIS. Free Fight With Pistols el the Democratic Primaries Fatal Results. Memphis, July $1.—During a row at the democratic primaries yesterday Po liceman King was shot through the breast, fatally wounded ; Ed. Byan, a fireman, received a bullet in his jaw.

July *4.—Preslfient Debs of the American railway union, when questioned in the office of the county jail yesterday afternoon about a Cincin nati dispatch reflecting on the disposi tion of large suius of money without apparent results since the organization of the American railway union, charac terized it as “an infamous lie without the slightest foundation, and another effort to turn public opinion against this movement in the cause of human ity and the amelioration of the work ingmen.” The statement that the American railway union had had $146,- 000 in its treasury st one time, he said, was absurd. There had never been over $25,000 in the treasury at one time, and at the present time there was about 824,000 on hand. Mr Debs has received a letter containing a check for $1,000 drawn on the National Howard bank of Baltimore. It was from Thomas Shakespeare Tucker, of Baltimore. Th« C'heek M»y Be Fraudulent. Baltimore. July 24.—Thos. Shakes- pear Tucker is not known in Baltimore. There is no foundation for the story lo cating him in the Equitable building and no trace of him in the city can be found. He has no account at the Na tional Howard bank. If the check re ceived by President Debs in Chicago is drawn on that bank, as has been stated, it is fraudulent. SEVEN MEN KILLED OUTRIGHT. Fstel Wreckage ef e Southbound Dulles und Texes Purine Nser (joeea City, Texarkana, July 24.—The south bound passenger train from Dellas over the Texas and Pacific road due here at 7:16 p. m. was wrecked near Queen City, Texas, shortly before 6 o’clock yester day eveing.

Among those who met death were the engineer, fireman Allen, ex press messenger. Marshall and the ne gro porter. Three passengers are also reported killed. The information re ceived here was meagre but was of such import that a special train was at once made up and started for Queen Ciiy, which is twenty miles from this city. HER REASON DETHRONED. Pitiful Case of e Toung Woman Who Was Frightened Hy u Mud Doff. Lexington, Ky., July 24.—Mrs F. A. Hurst, the pretty wife of a prominent Jessamine county farmer, has been con fined in an insane asylum here. She la not yet twenty years old and the second wife of Mr. Hurst, who has three young children by his first wife. Mrs. Hurst while walking out with her husband's children was attacked by a mad dog, and in her defense of the little ones she became badly frightened. The scare brought on typhoid fever, which finally subsided but left her without her mind. She imagines that mad dogs are pursu ing her. and at times her attempts to protect herself from the rabid brutes she sees in her madness are pitiful.

Already about fifty bales of new cotton in different sections have been picked out During the last forty-eight hours, splendid showers have fallen over a vast area of cotton territory doing immense good to the crop. Cot ton in general looks better than ever known in Texas and well posted au thority predict a crop of two and a half million bales. Reports from 90 per cent of the fields me of the most flattering nature and it is doubtful if the crop can be harvested unless the fall is open for picking until January. DUEL FATAL TO BOTH.

Oates democratic nominee for governor, was at Blount Springs Sun day and received a copy of a circular from H. E. Taubeneck, containing the charge that Colonel Oates' friends are circulating silver coins of 1894 to prove that the democrats are now coining sil ver. The circular contains a telegram from James R. Maxwell, at Tuscaloosa, making the charge, and the director of mints reply to Lafe Pence. Mr. Tau beneck says in the concluding circular: “From this it appears that Mr. Oates has secured a few pieces coined as sou venirs, and is exhibiting same to the people of Alabama, as proof that the present administration is coining the silver purchased under the Khermuii set. Any party driven to such decep tion in trying to bunco the people with a few pieces of new coined silver ought to sink into the depths of Infamy. Can fraud and deception go further than this 7 After demonetizing silver, then refusing to coin the seigniorage, and now trying to beguile and mislead hon est voters byioolnlng a few pieces to he used on the stump by a few political bunco steerers.” Branded as s Lla. To all this Colonel Oates writes as a reply: My reply to all of this is that I never saw one of the souvenir or proof silver dollars to which he refers, and did not know they were in existence until I saw the resolution offered in the house of representatives by Mr. Pence and his correspondence with the director of the mint, and of coarse I never exhibited one of them, and never saw one, and never made any statement In any speech or elsewhere that any silver was being coined, ex cept fractional piecea, at the Philadel phia mint, and never stated that but once, and then it was done to correct a false statement which was made by a Kolbite speaker. The telegram to Dunning frem Max well I am fully satisfied states a false hood, as do the letters named. I never heard of such a thing before, and if Maxwell does not furnish proof of what he states, which I demand, I brand his statement as a lie. ■eerus His Foes. Mr. Taubleck has the effrontery to say in his note to me that ‘any party driven to such deception in trying to bunoo the people with a few pieces of new coined silver ought to sink into the depths of infamy,' etc. If my party were to fall Into the depths of infamy, of which there is not the slightest probability, or into Jhe Infernal re gions. the first persons it wonld meet would be Taubleck and Pence, the princes of bunco sterers and political frauds. The entire story which they are seeking to magnify into great im portance, was hatched up for the pur pose of injuring me, and is i'h’ige lie and utterly devoid of any semblance of truth. When the sixth of August passes Taubeleck will find in the result a proper response to his coarse and un- gentlemanly note.”' PURSUED BY ACCIDENTS. DeatS ef e Prominent Kentaeklan from Accident* Lately Iteeeclred. Maysville, Ky., July 24.—Mr. Septi mus D. Clarke, one of the best known men in the state, died at his home, near Helena, last night, of blood poisoning. About ten days ago he had his wrist broken while riding through a tunnel on the Kentucky Central railroad, and from this resulted his death.

Tariff Sltaatloa Practically Unchanged. Pomlble nod Probable Outcome. Washington, July 25.—Secretaries Gresham, I-amont and Smith and Post master-General Bisseil were in confer ence with the president at the White house last evening. The tariff situa tion was reviewed, but so far as can be learned no conclusion was reached. Secretary Carlisle was at the White house late in the afternoon. Senator Gorman visited the White house in the forenoon by invitation of the president, and while nothing official can be learned of what transpired it is stated that the president endeavored to dis suade Gorman from his announced pur pose to make a speech upon the presi dent's letter to Wilson and urged that the tariff bill be allowed to go back to the conferees, without debate. Sena tor Gorman made his speech, however, and it is probable that several other speeches will be made probably by Senators Voorhees. Mills and Brice, and perhaps Hill. The advisability of holding a caucus was discussed by sev eral democratic senators, but no con clusion was reached and it is probable none will be held. Judging from the statenyut of one of the managers of the bill as made this morning there appears to be po change in Mte situation ; it still remains fraught with danger to the bill. Much depends upon the persistence with which Sena tor Vilas pushes his motion to strike out the differential duty on refined su gar, and the attitude of this senator led a number of democrats today to make a statement that it looked as if the ad ministration waited to see the action taken. It Is known however, that if an' effort Is made to push this motion, a motion, that will surely prevail, some of the democrats are prepared to take a responsibility of settling the fight at once and for all by accepting the Der- nir resort, and making the motion to indefinitely postpone the conference re port. ADVERTISING THE SOUTH. Gnat Things Expected of u Newly-Orgaa- Ixed Association. Middlesborouoh, Ky., July 24.—Ths Southern exchange association organ ized, as a result of conference of north ern and southern business men, will act in concert with the Southern immigra tion society, of which Mr. A. A. Arthur is general manager, the object of com panies being identical—the spreading of information concerning \he rpsources and business possibilities'of the south. They will have an agency in each south ern state, and it is quite probable that through the influence of Mr. Arthur the Kentucky agencies will be located at this place and the Tennessee agency at Knoxville. Especial attontiuu will be given the mountain section pf Ken tucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. Tho mineral and timber resources of this section are considered inexhausti ble. and the promoters of these compa nies believe Eastern Kentucky, Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina will within the next quaitor of a cen tury become a vast empire within them selves.
