ANOTHER DISPENSARY DECISION. Circuit Judge James Aldrich, of Aiken, filed a decision on Sat urday to the effect that the dis pensary law of 1893 is unconsti tutional in so far as it relates to the sale of liquor by the State. The Judge holds that the Act of 1893 is only an amendment or explanation of the Act of 1892, which the Supremo Court deci ded to be unconstitutional in the case of McCullough vs Brown that went up from this County; and that it is his duty plainly to declare the points in volved in each Act to be mater ially the same. According to the position ta ken by the State authorities, this is the first time that the law of 1893 has been passed on by the Courts, it being held by them that the decision of the Supreme Court applied only to the law of 1892. The Aiken case came up when the dispen saries were ordered to be reop ened. The Mayor of the Town, acting under the decision of the Supreme Court declaring the law unconstitutional, attempted to prevent the dispensary at Ai ken from being reopened, and the question was recently ar gued before Judge Aldrich with the result as above stated. Judge Aldrich was re-elected to hie present position by a Re form legislature, so he can hard ly be charged with partisanship in the matter. .What the out come of it will be, it is hard to say. The State will probably appeal from the Aiken decision to the Supreme Court as at pres ent constituted, with Justice Gary occupying the place that was held by Justice McGowan when the case of McCullough vs Brown came up, though it is not probable . that the appeal will be heard before the Novem ber Term of the Court. By that time Governor Tillman says the new legislature will meet and pass a dispensary law that will stand the test of all the Courts. that 1 ask you me in request- THE JUTE WAR AGAIN. Not long ago, a telegram went the rounds of the papers to the effect that the cotton manufac turers in the East had refused to buy cotton packed in sugar bags or bag cloth. It now turns out that this report was simply an effort on the part of the Jute Trust (which is again showing its ugly head) to intimidate the farmers into using nothing but jute bagging while they are running up the price on it to the highest notch. But the farmers are not going to be intimidated. The Alliance whipped out the monster in handsome style a few years ago when jute was run up to eleven cents a yard, and it can do it again. As an offset to the false statement con tained in the circular letter with which the Trust is flooding the South to the effect that those who use the bag cloth will not be able to sell their cotton to ad vantage, Col. D. P. Duncan, the manager of the State Al liance Exchange, has addressed an open letter to aH the mem bers af the Order in this State, advising them to buy the bag cloth, and to buy it as soon as possible, as the jute bagging keeps going up every day. The outlook for a large crop, added to an unusual scarcity of jute would naturally make the price rise anyhow. With the Trust using all its efforts at the same time to run up the price, there is no telling where the stuff is going to this time before it stops. Luckily for the farmers of the South the canard of the Trust has been exposed in time. The New York Cotton Exchange, Resignation of the Rev. Mr. Law. On the 15th. of Julv, the Rev. Mr. Law announced to his congregation that he had de cided to accept a call tendered I him by the church at Ocala, Fla., and requested the congre gation to meet after service on the following Sunday, ami unite with him in a request to Pee Dee Presbytery to dissolve the relation as pastor and people. On the day appointed, when the congregation met, the following letter was read from Mr. Law: Dearly Beloved Brethren and Friends: It is with feelings of pro found sorrow that I to unite with ing the Pee Dee Presby tery to dissolve the pastoral rel ation that has existed so happily between us for the past fifteen years. This conclusion has been reached after mature delibera tion and prayerful reflection that I may accept a unanimous call to the pastorate of the Pres byterian church at Ocala, Flor ida. It is to me a very pleasant thought that no “root of bitter ness’’ has disturbed the harmon ious relations that we have sus tained to each other through all these years, an J I beg you to receive the assurance of my un dying love and unceasing pray er for you. I can never forgot your beautiful sympathy and loyal devotion to me during the dark days of my life, and your hearty rejoicing with me when the clouds rolled by, and the “season of clear shining after rain” came again to brighten my life and cheer my heart. Your uniform kindness to me and my loved ones will ever be cherished as a tribute of loving hearts to the Lord Jesus by whose grace I have been enab led to labor among you with some small measure of success. May the gracious benediction of Christ ever rest upon you, and may His grace be sufficient for all your need. Trusting that you may be guided by the spirit of truth in your response to this communication, and ever pray ing for the peace and prosperity of our beloved Zion, I am, dear brethren, Faithfully Yours, Jno. G. Law. After hearing the letter the following resolutions were un animously adopted: Whereas, A meeting of the congregation has been called this day to hear the resignation of our beloved pastor after a pastor ate of fifteen years, the congre gation respectfully adopts the following: 1. That we, as a congregation, have received this resignation with sincere regret, and greatly deplore any cause or causes that has led our pastor to take this step. 2. That we have ever and al ways felt our pastor to be faith ful and earnest both in the cap acity of pastor and preacher and always zealous for the good of the church—that he has al ways taken a lively interest in both the spiritual and temporal welfare of those over whom he has been called as an under shepherd. That we are satisfied, that il our pastor should leave us, those who have passed through afflic tion and who have sunerd be reavement during his pastorate would sorrow most at the sep aration of pastor and people. 3. That it has always been source of much pleasure to us as a congregation to note the high stand our pastor has main tained in our community as a hightoned Christian and man. 4. Jhat we point with pleas ure to the many and great im provements that have been made in our church through his influence, and the large acces sions to our membership during his pastorate. 5. That his field of labor in cludes a large territory and em braces within its bounds about five bunded precious souls. 6. That we trust our pastor may see his way clear to with draw his resignation and as pas tor and people we may continue to unite our efforts to build up our beloved and venerated church, and advance the inter est of the same and thereby iorify the name of the great ead of the Church. 7. For these reasons we re spectfully decline to unite with our pastor in requesting that the pastoral relation be dissolv ed. J. J. James, Moderator. W. C. Ervin, Clerk. The meeting was then ad journed until the following Sat- turday, when Mr. Law has requested this church to uuite with him in a petition to Pte Dee Presbvtery to dissolve the relation as pastor and'peo- ple, and whereas this church did by unanimous vote ask him to withdraw this request and did decline to unite with him in this petition, and as he still thinks it is his dutv to accept a call tendered him to a larger field of usefulness, now there fore be it resolved, That we will no longer withhold our consent and will unite with him as re quested in petitioning Pee Dee Presbytery to dissolve this rela tion. In doing so, we desire to place on record our high appreciation of Mr. Law as an earnest preach er of the Gospel of Christ, our love and affection for him as a pastor and our respect for him as a sincere Christian. We would express the deep regret we feel in having this relation, which has existed so pleasantly for fifteen years, severed and will assure him that we«cannot and never will forget his un- el fish labors of love among us and will promise that our pray ers shall follow.him into what ever field of labor the Provid ence of God .may lead him. J. J. James, Moderator. W. C. Ervin, Clerk. On the 8th. inst., a called meeting of Pee Dee Presbytery was held in the church.at Flor ence and the relations as pastor and people between Mr. Law and the congregation were dissolved to take effect Oct. 1st. next.
