PIM AT BOTTOM PRICES* WATCHMAN * NH XMIITBUIIN J li ri (IKK H F SUMTER, S. C The Dispensary Act Declared Invalid in all Its Parts. Judge Hudson lias again thrown a bomb from the bench that will probably smash the dispensary law into smithereens. In the circuit court in Columbia, on Oct. ll. Judge Hudson rendered a decision quashing the indict? ments against persons in that city for selling liquor. Melton & Melton, attorneys for the defense, demurred to the indictments on the ground that the act was passed in violation of the constitution of the Uoited States aud of South Carolina, and was therefore null and void, and that in and by said act no punishment for the offense is set forth in the indictment. Judge Hudson made an oral an? nouncement of his views and promised that he would prepare his reasons in writing at the earliest opportunity. His views are, if anything, more tersely and strongly expressed than ever. He said : "I beg to say to counsel engaged in arguing the case yesterday io which parties were charged with selling liquor that I devoted last night to careful examination of the authorities contained in the books and in the written argumeuts submitted to me and have arrived at a conclusion ; but I have not had time to reduce to writing the reasons for the conclusion which I have reached Hut inasmuch as it is necessary that conclusions should be an? nounced as soon as possible so as to determine what disposition is to be made of these cases upon the docket, [ will announce them now, and will, as soon as practicable, give my reasons therefor. In the first place, whether these indictments shall be considered as drawn for the violation of the dispen? sary law,%or whether they should be indictments under the law as it pre? viously stood, is immaterial so far as one view of the case may go. Thc indictments are fatally defective, whether drawn with reference to the previous law or with reference to the dispensary law. Thc allegations in the indictment are not sufficient ; it is just a naked allegation that the defendant is guilty of selling intoxicating liquor contrary to the form of the statute That is not sufficient. It is necessary that the accused shall bc notified of the time, place and person to whom the scie was made. Everyone charged witii the crime has thc right to be in? formed of thc exact nature of the charge, the time, place and circum? stances under which the alleged crime was committed. These indictments do not contain such allegations and bad they been preferred against the defendants before the enactment of the dispensary law they would have fallen under a motion to quash. At the present time, sup* posing the dispensary to he valid and io full force, the same objection applies and the indictment would have to be quashed. I might stop here and say uo more, but iu doiug so 1 would not discharge my duty as a judge because the parties are entitled to have their motion passed upon for reasons assigned therefor, and it devolves upon me, therefore, to meet the responsibility and to determine the whole question. Now, admitting for the sake of argument that the Dispensary Act is coustitutional, it is an anomaly which would not be discovered from a casual reading of the Act, but it nevertheless exists, that for the simple act of retail? ing uo punishment is prescribed in any of the various section*. Punishment is provided against this violation io certain particulars not necessary now to enumerate, but in no section of the Act is any punishment prescribed for a single act of retailing The repealing clause of the Dispen? sary Act des:roys all previous systems, revokes every statute passed upon the subject of retailing, and proscribes especially that for a violation of it the party shall bc punished according to the providions of the dispensary law. So we cannot seek for punish? ment, cannot seek for penalty, in anv previous existing Act if the Dispensary Act should stand It is a singular omission, and in fatal in Ihn indictment framed as these indictment* ::re, even if j they were framed with more particular? ity If the time, place, price and tho j persons to whom sold was set out in the j indictment we must look to the Dis? pensary Act alone for punishment, and. strange to say, there is none there. A statute forbidding the doing of an Act but ar the same time prescribes no punishment therefor is a nullity unless that offence was one forbidden by common law ; in that event we could resort to the common law; but it is not a common law offense and for its punishment we are obliged to go to the statute, and if none is there prescribed then thc enactment becomes as to that offense null and void. This upon the supposition that thc dispensary law is unconstitutional. Now the question arise as to the con? stitutionality of the Act, because the motion to quash is .based upon that ground as well as upon the defects in the indictment. It has fallen to my lot to adjudge heretofore that the dispensary feature of the Act which establishes dispensaries throughout the State is unconstitutional, and my reasons therefore wer?' given. I will not repeat, them here. I say my opinion remains unchanged, and in faet is more-confirmed than ever as to the unconstitutionality of the Act Broad? ly I would say upon th*: ground I hat the (.rovernment of the State has no tight to engage in thc millie of any known articles of merchandise and trade; no right to devote the money raised hy taxation from the people to those purposes which arc not govern? mental. The dispensary law cannot, rest for its foundation upon the pica of the exercise of police power ol the State It is wanting in the clements of police. Neit her can it rest upon j he reason for which a general prohibitory law is supported, because it is not in ?iny proper sense nf the word a general prohibitory law It is not int'tided to be a general prohibitory lav. lt is merely transferring from the citizen to officers of the State the .raffle in intoxicating liquors ; hence the dispen? sary feature is in my opinion, uncoil stitutiooal, and io so saying I fut appreciate the grave responsibility tl rests upon a Judge. Every Act of t Legislature most be maintained by t Courts and must be enforced by t Courts UDless it ia manifestly agaic the fundamental law of the land, ai whenever that question is presented the Court as it appears, that the Act against the fundamental law of t land, it is not only the right, but t duty, of the court to say so, among other purposes of the general admin tration of the law. Theo comes the grave qoesticn, the dispensary feature of that Act unconstitutional what remains of i Can the act io other respects be sa taioed or most it fall ? lt is a well-established principle the interpretation of statutes th where there is io the eoactment of law one main, overruling object io tl minds of the legislators aod every oth provision of the Act subordinate there looks to the securing aod theattaiome of that one main object, if that ma purpose falls theo the whole Act goe because the Legislature would not ha Dassed the Act bot for the accomplis ment of this main object. The main object of the Act here the transferring to the authorities of tl State the exclusive sale of intoxicate liquors, and io order to secure th exclosive right various limitation restrictions atad provisions are enact? affecting the citizen, common carrie aod all members of society. The who object is to secare the iotegrity of tl dispensary feature. If the dispensai feature falls, if it is unconstitutiona the whole object of the Legislature defeated and the whole Act io i details falls to the ground. That's tl view I take of the law after hearing ti able arguments delivered yesterday t counsel on both sides. I will so holt and for that as well as the technic grounds I will quash these indictment Let the order be prepared, and I wi file with the order my reasons therefi as soon as I can reduce them to wri ?og." -^^-???-.?.^^ Judge Hudson.

C , Oct. 12.-The legislature of this state transferred the Columbia canal to the city of Colum? bia several yeas ago, reserving 500 horse power for the use of the state free and absolute. The city trans? ferred the franchise to the Columbia Water Power Company, a Boston syndicate, of whicn A ret us Blood is president. The state has leased a part of the power reserved to it to the Columbia Electric Street Railway Company. The Water Power Company has commenced suit Io ae.t aside the lease tn the Electric Company. This is, in effect, a suit against the Slato. Governor Tillman today notified the Water Power Company to dicontinue proceedings at once and will force the company to complete the canal under the contract with the State. The canal lacks two miles of being com? pleted Under the grant, the right of the Slate to the use of the power reserved is free and absolute.

The Impression Made hy our Populist Governor on the Unsophisticated Citi? zens of St Louis. To the Editor of The News and I Courier : The people of St Louis and the Mississippi Valley have just learned that South Carolina has within her borders a most remarkable man. He is your Governor of whom we have heretofore known nothing except his name. The St Louis Bimetallic Convention had been in session nearly three days on October 5. Governor Tillman had come in response to the supplemental call for that meeting sent out by Governor Stone, of Mis? souri, and had been made temporary chaii man at its opening. Later when permanent organization was effected he was placed on the committee on resolutions and was made its chair? man. He made the report of that committee and the resolutions were being discussed preparatory to a vote on their adoption. There had been but little interest shown by our people generally m this Convention and few spectators were present ; among that few, however, was the writer. The Convention itself was small in numbers. Many who had been appointed as delegates had not come, either from inability to perceive how they could take any effective political action at this time, and so soon after the great Bimetallic Conventiou held at Chicago on Au? gust 1, or from timidity and fear of the charge of "sectionalism'' or design to break up their respective political parties, Democratic or Re? publican. For these reasons there were probably not more than two hundred persons present in one end of our immense armory hal! in which the Convention was sitting. To fully appreciate Governor Till? man's speech it should be remember? ed that the Convention was composed of men who were strangers to each other and to him, living long dis? tances apart, who have heretofore baen mortal political enemies, but now driven together by the -ame tremendous and overwhelming dan? ger ; and that his purpose was to effect a powerful aud permanent union of these elements thus sparsely represented in the gathering before him. Many speeches had been made, some sensible aad beneficial, others tedious and tiresome, by delegates who desired additions to the resolu? tions, reflecting their own eccentric ideas. Governor Tillman was then called for and came forward. He took a position on the floor near the presid? ing officer, Dr. S. S. King, and on a level with his audience. Ile then slowly, in a distinct and moderate tone, began his speech. I will not attempt to give any abbreviation, as you have most probably received the whole of it, either by telegram or by the St. Louis Republic, i:i which it was published in full on the next morning, but will essay to write only of its delivery and effects. From the time* he took the floor there was the closest attention ; and in twenty minutes every auditor knew that he was listening to a speaker of transcendent ability as a political leader. He had no polish? ed oratory in either voice or gesture ; but ins words were clear, direct and unmistakable, striking home to the point intended at the end of every sentence like the shots of a skilful artillerist who plays his guns at pleasure from front to right and left with exact precision. All who heard him saw at once that he blazed out the way for a poli? tical movement as wide as the con? tinent and of immense possibilities ; and which if properly organized could ! overthrow all opposing organizations and partie*, and unfurl its standard on the Capitol at Washington. Quick perception, directness, re? solute will and audacity-that is Till? man. His closing declaration arous ed his already electrified audience to a wild outburst of enthusiasm. In less than sixty minutes he had made a lasting impression on the people of ? this great valley, and its echoes will reverberate for many a day. He is undoubtedly a natural leader of men, and may become the chieftain of mil? lions who have no political cohesion. Have you any more such :*i South Carolina? I should think not, for they are few and far between. His great power lies in presenting facts so as to appeal to the sympathies and interests of men, arousing them to action by their sense of justice as well as their knowledge, that they cannot remain passive and themselves escape. If he should come into this region in a a campaign none can doubt that he would sway the multitudes, E. B. c. St Louis, October 7, 1893. From the .St. Louis Republic. TILLMAN OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Even the church authorities make mistakes. One great branch of the Christian church felt the need for a revision of its translation of the Bible The revision was made, and the peo? ple held fast to tin; old with all its supposed errols of scholarship So it always happens. It is the mistakes wi:h which we must deal. If individuals and bodies of men act? ed regularly with knowledge and judgment - with available knowledge and the mere judgment of taking time to think-lhere would be but few problems St. Louis had last week the climax of its autumn festivities. A company of distinguished foreigners shared the hospitality of the occasion. G nests from our own ami the other states looked at the brilliance of the illu? minations and the variety at the Exposition building But tin* display o? our urban re? sources and the visitors who came to witness them were not tin? only inci? dents of the werk. The bi metallic convention met here, deliberated, adopted resolutions, ami adjourned. The convection itself was not quite np to the call It brought no larger number of delegates, and those who did come were chiefly men well known as movers in the organization of a minority political party. Governor Tillman, of South Caro? lina, was the striking figure of the convention. He is more to be con? sidered than the resolutions, because lie is thc thing itself. He is the embodiment of a force that is going to tell in politics and government. The Republie gave him and what he said liberal attention because there was more to be learned from him than from all the addresses, motions and resolutions. About many subjects she is mistaken He does not take into account the qualifications that men of larger experience have replied to the premises with whjch his thinking begins. Do not, nevertheless, let yourself suppose that because you can detect flaws in his logic, blemishes in his taste and omissions in his data, this mau Tillman is not a living force of! more than ordinary momentum. ! Momentum is the result cf weight and j motion, and he has both. ? Emerson wrote of Napoleon that! every sentence he spoke is worth reading because it ie the sense of France. Tillman is worth the keenest watching because he is the sense of an immense body of small farmers in the South who are as hard-headed, j independent and determined as any men who tread the soil of America. Look well at Tillman. He is the man with whom it is going to be necessary to deal. He is of his time. Mistakes and all, he must be met and met with honesty and reason, for he and his kind are hard to fool and harder to browbeat. He is artificial nowhere. From the standpoint of artistic finish, he is in a state of nature. Ile is not a looking glass talker, not a poet, feeding the sugar-appetite with confections. He has not the fluent and stately plati? tudes of thc old school Southern ora tor, nor the condescending affability of the old school Southern politican. In what is more to the present purpose he is highly educated. He knows his clients. He has the degree of high training, the instinct of playing in tune and time with the popular apprehension of his section. He will take people with him at first because he is earnest and direct, and because he says so many truths that they will not perceive the inconsisten? cies and shortcomings. His soul is j demonstrative and his temperament is { combative. Later, to retain his follow- j lng, he must gain in wisdom and knowledge. But for a year or two I yet he can carry them with what he j is and has. And neither in success nor retirement will anybody laagh at or pity him. He is not that kind of a man. In politics- and in all else that men do-you can tell ten times as much about what is likely to happen if you know the men than if you know only the subject. Men never act out a theory. The subject is seen through their instincts and is acted upon by their habits They turn an idea more than an idea turns them. They ac? cept as much of it as they pleii^and work it out as far as they care to go. Tillman demands attention, for be? hind him appears the background of a million voters-the Southern farmers, de8cendents of English, Scotch, Irish and Hugenot immigrants, resolute re? ligious, moral persevering voters. These men seldom trifle They are chary of joking about what they deem serious matters. They have never counted the cost when they started to settle a point. They beat Cornwallis and Tarleton. They 6tuck to the civil war until their clothes were rags and their leaders surrendered. Further back, before they .became Americans, they fought (J rom well if they were Royalists, and Dundee if they were Convenantes. The further currency errors go with them and the more they think they see of reform in socialistic pro? jects, the harder will be the task of the statesman who labors that his country may be right. No light mindedness or indifference lets con? victions dance on and out with them. Notions are apt to stick. Therefore t is not a good thing for the nation that arrogance and intolerance rouse n them the fighting spirit. It won't o to tell them that they are Anar? chists and fools. They have full bellig?rant sta:us and, whether mis? taken or not, will exact the consider? ation due them or make trouble. Tillman, thc spokesman of the onthern small farmer, is fully ac? credited agent. He enters politics, and is one with whom parties must deal. Who was Macadam ? - Cities, towns and counties in the United States are blessed with macad? amized roads But how many people ho ride pleasantly, easily, comfortably ver these fine, solid roads know why they are so named We will turn on a itt?e light just here. John Loudon Macadam was an Iri*hmau in the last century who was surveyor of County owns, He conceived the plan of con- ' ructing fine, durable roa^s by utilizing mall stones. His experiments were so uccessful that he received from the Government a grant of $50.000 and was tendered a Baronetcy, but this he declined. His name will last longer tlmn most eminent jurists, politicians, soldiers, sailors, men of letters and even editors. One or two uncles of the famous Bronte girls-Charlotte, Emily and Anne, all with genius-were among the first in Ireland to make money by the Macadam road*. Highest of all in Leavening Pow ABSOUT Hold Your Cotton. South Carolina's Alliance Presi? dent Issues an Address. The Crop Is Early and Short and Should Not be Marlceted Now if It Can Be Helped. COLUMBIA, S..C, October 10.-The following address was made public to-day : The Farmers' State Alliance, of South Carolina. Office of the Presi? dent, Benneitsville, S C., October 5, 1893.-To the Cotton Plauters and Members of the Alliance of the Cotton States : This has been a bad year for cotton. With storms and floods and droughts, with the elements and seasons out of joiot, as it were, the crop is short. There will be no cotton to pick worth speaking of after the 1st of November in the Atlantic States. The Texas crop is reported to be three to five hundred thousand bales less than last year. The price of cotton is about the average oost of production. American spinners are. in a large measure, out of the market, on account of the impossibility of procuring money on time loans to io vest io cotton and the price is governed almost entirely by what Europe will pay for it. Now, what are you going to do? "He that provideth not for his own household hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel." BO NOT SELL NOW. The cotton farmer can command the situation by holding on to His cotton until the trade conditions improve, and those who want it and are obliged to have it, come after it with their money. Hold on to every bale of cotton when you can possibly do so without idjury to your credit, until the price advances. Make every honorable effort to meet your obligations, but hold your cotton. You are entitled to a higher p.ice if there is any virtue in the law of supply and demand. There is neither justice nor reason in the farmer always sacrificing himself that others may leap to fortune Bat present action is not ali that is necessary. Pian for the future. The farmer buys too mach. He should be always a seller. Prepare to reduce the cotton acreage for next year, and to raise yonr corn, wheat and bacon at home. Not until you do this, will you be independent and able to 6x your own prices.
