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.

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.
