It is against the whiskey men, in so far as ic relates to the right af the Ches ter liquor men ta demand a license for a full year, lt does not pass upon the constitutionality of the Dispensary act at all. Consideration of the denial by thc State of the right di the relators to the use of its name was waived by the court altogether. The complaint (ff the relator was re? viewed at sdme length, and the court declares that it Will only pass upon the complaint of the relator as it bears Upon their right to have a licence issued by the town council of Chester for a year. After taking the position that the en? dorsement of tho legislative officers proves the passage of the bill, the de? cision says, with regard to the failure of the journals of tfcc two booses to agree : **HoWever tinpleasant it may be to revise previous decisions of the c??rt, ?till, after full a?d mature considera* tion, we feel it to bc a duty we owe the State that the case of the State vs. Platt shoald be, and is, hereby overruled ; and as the State vs. Hagood was really decided upon the authority of Plstt'a case, it follows necessarily that the case of F?agood must fall when the foundation on which it rests is taken away. We announce that when an act has been duly signed by the presiding officers of the General Assembly, io open session of the Sen? ate- Hotise, approved by the Governor of the State, and duly deposited itt the office of the Secretary of State, it is sufficient evidence, nothing to the con? trary appearing upon- its face, that it passed the General Assembly, and that it is not competent either by the journal of the two houses or either of them, or by any other evidence, to impeach such an act. And this being so, it follows that the court is not at liberty to inquire into what the journal of the two houses may show as to the successive steps which may have been taken io the passage of the original bill. It will be observed that this conclusion by no means negatives the power of the court to inquire into (hose pre-reqisites fixed by the constitution, and of which pre? requisites the journals of the two houses are required to furnish the evidences, such, for instance, as the organisation ~f the two botxses, the presence of a quorum, thc votes of two-thirds of the members by ayes and noes to be enter? ed on the journals in certain eases." The court says it is quite clear that there is nothing unconstitutional in for? bidding the granting of licenses to sell liquor except in the manner prescribed by the act. But whe her the act con? tains other features not affecting the right of relators to the licenses claimed by them is a question that cannot pro? perly arise iu these cases and cannot therefore be considered, for; as we have said above, it would be extra ludicial to do so. "It is the judgment of this court that the prayer of the petitioners be denied and the petition for mandamus be dismissed." Personal Property of Muni? cipal Corporations Must pay State Taxes. An opinion was rendared by the attorney general on May loth to the effect that personal property of muni? cipal corparation8 is liable to State taxation. The following letter caused fcbe deci? sion to be rendered ; ARDEKRON, S. C., April 18, 1893 Geo. W. H. Ellerbe, Colambia, S. C.: Dear Sir-The city of Anderson has some stock, wagons, carts and other ; personal property amounting to some ^1.000. Is the property not liable to taxation ? The city council claim that ; it rs not rratbte/ and I think it is Please answer at once Snd favor, Your obedient servant, G. N. C BOLLMAN.fA. A. C. The letter was referred to the Attor? ney General's office, and bera is the opinion rendered : COLOMBIA, S. C., May 13, 1893. Hon. W. H. Eilerbe,- Comptroller General of South Carolina. Dear Sir-Your reference of Mr. G. N C. BoHm-aVs rotter received, in which is brought ?p the question of the liability 60 starte taxation of "cer? tain stock, wagons, carts ind" ot?ier . personal property of the city of Ander? son.^ It is contended that inasmuch as such property belongs to a munici? pal corporation it is not liable. Such property woald only be exewpt under ex-pressed or an implied exemption by virtue of its government foliations hir? ing a paFt of government, ft is not con-tended that it is exempted hy any ex-pressed providion, but by implica? tion. This rule is not rticronsistent with an expressed provision requiring all real and personal property shall be su-bj^ct to taxation, except certain subjects therem enumerated, is specified aflVniMrti'vely the property exempted and aiw-ong those enumerated does not appear the subject claimed to be exempt, although the general exemption of certain named I municipal properties therein specified do appear. In this connection the well known rule of construction, that the express mention of one eerie? of subjects j i is tantamount to a direct exclusion of all j others and equivalent to thc insertion j of its apposite, draws increased strength j and support, from- tbe direct a<nd post live injunction that "aW peal and per I sonal property" shall' be taxed, etc Very truly, O. W. Buchanan. Asb't Att'y Gen. of So Ca. 1 3 1 Grand Lodge E. of P. The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Sooth Carolina met i& the United State Courtroom Greenville", on Tuesday last. Grand Chancellor C Carroll Simms called the body to order and introduced Capt. C G Welte; who welcomed the Grand Lodge in a brief speech in be? half of the citizens of Greenville. Grand Chancellor Simms responded in behalf of tbe Gr*~d Lodge. The morning session was devoted to rotftioe business. The reports of the graud officers were referred ta appro? priate committees; The Grand Chancellor's report showed the establishment of thirteen ?ew lodges during tbe psxt year* Re? presentatives ?rd?i sixty-six* lodges were present, numbering about 175 mern* bees. The commissioned officers of the Uni? form Raok organized the first regiment of S:'Uth Carolina. A. A Kroeg wa6 elected Lieutenant Colonel aud H. T. Thompson; Maj-.ir. The following grano* officers were elected ; Graod Chaocellior, James H. Thayer; Graod Vice Chancellor, Ed. Bacon : Graod Prelate, ? F. Wilson ; Grand Keeper of Records and. Seal, P. H. Walsh ; Grand Master of Exchequer, C. H. Bergman. Macadam Versus Mud Roads. The New York Legislature is consid? ering the 09e of the convicts of the State io building the public roads. There ls a bill before it that is said to be good. It gives oat-door, healthful employment to the rascals without in any way CL .lug in competition with fre? labor. The bill, however, from some cause hangs fire. The Messenger has beefl favorable to utilizing the large number of criminals by making them build the so much need? ed roads. It b?s opposed all schemes to teach them trades to turo them out here^ter to compete with honest labor. That tbe county roads must be improved very touch is a foregone gestion, and no observant, informed, practical man doubts it. We all know how impass? able most of the dirt roads in North fjarolioa are all wioter. If the ninety six counties had good reread am i aad fO?ds leading out from thc count y seats in various directions to .the limits of each county they would be worth mill? ions of dollars annually to the people of North Carolina. There is oo doubt of this. Every farm would be benefitted by many dollars. A farmer owing a farm worth ?1,000 would receive benefit the first year amountiog to $50, in the sav? ing in wear and tear of vehicles, in hauling, eic. A good horse on a first rate macadam road can pull easily more than two horses can pull on a eommon North Carolina road. It can pull as much as three horses can pull in mid-winter in more than sixty counties of the State. Think of that. Then you must consider. the saving in feed and attention. If you include these then the owner of a $1,000 farm would save in one year more than ?100. He ought to be willing, nay, he ought to be anxious to be taxed each year from $6 to $10 to construct such road in his coun? ty. A Virginian bas recently issued a circular on "Roads and Road Laws." He writes wisely and we copy as fol? lows ; "Our people do not know what good roods are, for they have never seen one There is not one in the county. You can't go ft? see your ueighbor or drive to town or depot, or take a load of tob?ceo to market in the fail, winter or spring with any comfor*, for the mud, hills, rocks. You cannot keep your buggy, jersey or wagon fit to look at. Get a new one and take bat one drive, and it is daubed with mud, the paint soon wears o??, and the run? ning gear swells and shrinks from the wet. You pay $75 for a vehicle and in six months you cannot nell it for $50, and yet you are no! willing to pay $5 more for a decent road. Another thing. Let Us stop working roads by "warning in hands." It has been abandoned, with one accord, in every county where they have a road fit to drive over. TWs plan has been tried all over the world for the last 200 years and condemned everywhere. Let each mau pay $1 and hire labor. STATEMENT OF TAX Nt) ED KD TO MACAD? AMIZE.

While the Ocalaites are rising to points of explanation at Washington, we shottld like to know by all that's sacred td the "star-eyed Godess of Re? form" what has become of the sub treas? ury ? is it dead cold and clammy, and if so who is responsible for its de? mise ? It has not been long, on?y a very few months since Tom Watson, defunct, was airing its beauties to a South Caro? lina audience under the chaperonage* of South Carolina reformers and in those sattle days the Ocala platform in its entirety was being preached as the hope of agricultural redemption. And the high repute in which Ocalaism was ! held grew and flourished uotil at the State Democratic Convection it was forced ddwn the throat arid i?fco the maw of our Governor. Until a few days after Cleveland was made the democratic nominee the air was rife With its praise. Now, where is Ocalaism and who ar? its Champions? Imagining ourselves ia the position of the trusting Alliance man, we would inquire if the leaders were deluding the masses when they declared that financial relief could ody come by national legislation, that the benefit to be expected from "Reform" io local politics was inconsiderable aod that the time had come for bold and decided action ? Now wc behold these same leaders howling and fighting for spoils as coyotes howl and fight about a carcass, while not a finger is lifted nor a" whisper raised for the keystones of their creeds. In the desperate struggle which the blacklisted Congress? men are making for reccfe-oitiou as democrats they maintain a silence about Ocalaism which is actually suspicious. If they do not believe it inconsistent and repulsive to democracy why do they cot now avow and proclaim their allegiance to it ? If Tillmanite Congressmen were not hypocritical in their advocacy of the Ocala Platform now is the time that they can honor their faith by etaudiog by it. Now is the time fat them" to prove that tbey are in the contest for principle's sake and not for selfish gain. If they are not political cowards it seems to us that at this juncture the^ will glory in an opportunity to flaunt the sub-treas? ury in the face of the president. That would show a devotion to honest convic? tion which would command the ap? plause of friends at home as well as the respect of foes, everywhere. Rut they are all "democrats" now nothing more nothing less "Demoorats" of the strictest seet, "democrats" loud in protestation, while the Ocala platform is for? gotten, thrust aside and left to go to the dogs. They went to Washing? ton by having conjured the people into the belief that they would bring about relief and before one blow has been struck they become professional apologizers, and beggars for pap. It is a piteous spectacle, these patriotic alliancemen in shamefaced trepidation interceding for mercy at the hands of the man the traducing of whom they made a step to the?f promotion. = Laurens Advertiser. Not so Fastidious as Form? erly. Colonel Ba'rrows, of Texas, was at the Great Northern yesterday, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean, and was indulging in some reminiscences of the late unpleasantness while he was in General .Magruder's command "We were all hungry one morning," said he, "and General Magruder, going up on a hill, saw a white house in the distance. Ile sent an &>d to ask the mistress of the house if she could not oblige him with a meal fer himself and staff. "While the wtfman, who was a Southern sympathizer, was preparing' the meal, a private of Virginia re? giment came along and asked for food. Ile was informed that the meal was being prepared for the general and his staff. 'If there's anything for yon" when tftey ffn?sh','" she said, 'you are welcome to it ' "Thc Virginian, who was a man of good family, waited humbly till the expected guests .arrived, and then crowded in bc?fd? the geriera? and began to eat.

Sheriff Nance and the Governor. In former yeaYs no mad shouted more for Tillman, and no man worked more zealously for his1 election than did Capt. F. W. R Nance of this county. When be got into office Governor Tillrfiari ordered him to levy on the railroad trains. Sheriff Nance straight? way did the ?nlawfal thing under the orders of bis chief. The Governor afterward paid the fines of the other sheriffs who had done a9 Sheriff Nance did, but concluded tb let his most enthusiastic friend in Abbe? ville paddle his own C?doe. He let the fine of Sheriff Nance stand against him, and we believe the Governor intends to make an exception in his case. fhe Govert?or thinks that He is jrjsti 3ed in going back on his old friend, because he purged himself of contempt of court. At best the office of Sheriff is not a desirable* dde, and when the GoveidcT repudiates his old friend, and sends b?rii stinging telegrams, the official plum that fell to Sheriff Naoce is not of the most palatable kind.-Abbeville Press and Banner. Shooting in Bai?berg.. Bamberg, May 18.-This morning about 8 o'clock Mr. A. V. Eaves, a one armed Confederate soldier, wbd has been agent for the South Carolina Rail? way Company at this place nearly- ever siuce the war, and Mr. W. I. Johns, a young farmer residing about two miles so?th of this place, met iu town and had some words, which resulted in blows, growing out of a lawsuit which was tried yesterday at Denmark. Mr JSaves had his face considerably scratched, aod after the belligerents had been separated went to his office, where his son Have? lock, assistant agent and telegraph operator, was. Young Eaves, learning of the difficul? ty and believing that bis father, being a one-armed man, had beet, imposed upon, weet fdrth to aveoge tbe wrong dode his father. He found Johns io Main street near the postoffice, and being on the opposite side from him starred across, at the same time beckoning at Johns to meet bim. Johns started to? wards bim, ana witnesses say that both almost immediately and at the same time pulled their pistols and began to shoot. Both shot very nearly at the same time, but some say Johns fired the least bit be? fore l?ares, aod they con ti oued to shoot until every ball in their revolvers was gone. Neither was lacking of bravery or grit in the least, and remained daring the firing each in foll view of his adversary. After the din of battle had cleared away it was found that- Johns had been shot through the left thigh. The wound is not considered dangerous as no bone was broken. Eaves was bit in the right sids, butf the ball lodged in a thick book which he happened to have in his side pocket. His life was prob? ably saved by tbis book. Mr. T. E. Andrea, the jeweller, who recently moved here from Oraogeburg, was struck by a stray shot from John's pis? tol iust above the' left eye and it is feared that he received a very dangerous woun d. The ball lodged* .ben?nd the eye and was extracted by Drs. Barton and Wannamaker, and their patient seems to be doing tfell at this writing They are not yet prepared to say what will be the extent of the injury. Andrea was ia no way connected with the difficulty. He was standing near the. South Carolina Railway track at a distanee of seventy-five yards or more from the place of shooting. All parties concerned have been arrested and* releaser/ on bond. It is believed that the unfortunate difficulty is at an end.. Mr. ?ndrea has the sympathy of everyone inasmuch ifs he is an innocent man' an'd has to suffer most.

Within the last few months other companies have been doing t?fe same thing One company doing a business .of $7,000,000' a year, has moved to Col? orado. The consequence is that the Kansas farmer finds difficult to sell hrs farm or borrow money to |iay for it. Another notable thing is the hegira of prominent citizens'. All th? mem? bers' of the late state administration, i legislature and stale boards have gone or. are* preparing to go to Colo rado, Missouri or Oklahoma. Now, fer the explanation. Popu? list extremes have alarmed capital. The owners of property have been denounced as rascal's. The money lenders have been denounced-as crim? inals. The recovery of loans has been made tedious. Naturally, men with morrey do not want to lend or rnVest.it in* such a commonwealth' They know of nfcriij other places where the t ights of property are seevrre, alid they are going t?iere Sensible men do; iroi care to trnst themselves under the government nf theorists who propose to abolish poverty by -Ziping out debts, and by establishing the doctrin? that a shovel belongs*to tHe man who is using it,' and i*?t to the man jrlso made it or Wfrose labor paid for it. Ft is a very suggestive object les sn ir, a-mf we commend it to every state where t&ere is a disposition in rho l?gislature to tamper with vested rights ami make unjust and dishonest attacks upon capital and property 'irv tim populist experiment any? where, and the result will bc just what il is in Kansas.. -Atlanta Constitution. -ap - A nnn's friends do him more injury than his enemies.

An incident which afforded lots of amusement to quite a group of auditors, occurred on the Three Cs train, betw??o! Rock Bili and Tirzah, last Thursday afternoon. A special car had been provided for the governor and bis part/ at RoSfe Rill There were only MBelvV or fifteen people in the ear, and the governor, noting the crowded condition' Of the rear coaches, asked: "Why don't you bring- some of those*, people io here?

"And," he continued, "those people came down in thoie cars, and of course they can go back' the sante W?yV They will have as much room going back as they had corni og down.*' "Well, we are not goingo to Eave* anything like that," rotort?d bfs excel? lency. "We are not so important that, we should monopolize a whole car of empty seats, with all those women and children standing np, and we are not selfish as to waut comfort ?ft: their exp?ris?; either. Unlock that door and tell them to come in here f j .y "Very well, governor," retorted Mr. Lumpkin "The orders are that this is your car and whatever you say be done." Accordingly the door was im?cf?k'e?.' and in a few minutes some of the rear passengers began to fill up the empty! seats. Among tb^m was a typical countryman from the vicinity of Tirzah." He had visited one cf the Rock FflTf. dispensaries, and beiog an ardent admirer of the governor, was determine^' to have a talk with Him. Making ms way to the seat occupied by his excel? lency, he extended his band with" tho greeting; . . "Hello, Governor Ben Till?lo f f ain't seed you since last November.
