James Norton remarked that he had the plea? sure of introducing "the best and most noted Governor South Carolina has ever had." Angels and Ministers of Grace, defend us ! Tillman's speech on. Monday night cao be comprehensively described by one word-bitter. Wheo he expressed hts thanks to heaven that he had only a short time, to remain rn Columbia, who can count the amens that echoed the expression. He leaves us with the consolation of having a tyraot as des? potic as himself. Thanks ! Mr. McDonald Fur mao writing to the State, makes a point that is well taken. He says : "Railroad Commis? sioner Thomas tried to get the Tillman ite county convention to nominate for the Legislature a Sumter merchant who is not identified with politics. Mr Thomas has abased the merchants so much that his political action is rather strange." THE STATE PRESS ASSOCIA? TION. The Twentieth Aonual Session of the South Carolina Press Association wa3 held on Pawley Island last week. Owing to sickness and unavoidable political and business deten? tion of the members of .the Association this session was attended by a smaller number of newspaper men than any session for several years. The small attendance was greatly regretted, but the absentees were tbe princi? pal losers,' for the session was unusually pleasant. The trip from Charleston to Georgetown on the Steamer Planter was delightful, the sea was calm and the breeze just brisk enough to be bracing. The hospitable people of Georgetown did everything in their power to render the few hours stay in tbeir city pleasant for the newspaper men. The moonlight excursion down Winyab Bay to North Island will long be remembered. The night was beautiful beyond description and everything conspired to make the evening enjoyable. Tbe return trip was somewhat marred by a dense fog which fell suddenly and delayed tbe arrival in Georgetown until quite late. Pawley Island is too well known by Sum? ter people to require a mention. It was at the best, the hotel, the surf and the sea breezej. The business of the Association was disposed of in two sessions-Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. In addition to the routine busioess a paper on The Country Press as an Educator, by Vice President, R. T. Jayne?, of Walhalla, and a paper on The Advantages to Country Editors in Being Practical Printers, by Mr. S. A. Nettles, of Manning, were read, the gentlemen themselves being unavoidaoly absent. A paper on The Press and Public Opinion was read by Mr. Hubert G. Osteen, of Sumter. Sumter and Columbia were proposed as the next place of meeting. Sumter was selected almost unanimously. The officers elected for ensuing year are : President: E. H. Aull, of the Newberry Herald ind News. First Vice President : Hartwell M. Ayer, of the Charleston Evening Post. Second Vice President: Hubert G. Osteen, of the Sumter Watchman and Southron. Secretary : C. C. L?ngsteh, of ~tbe Ander soo Intelligencer. Treasurer : Franz Melchers, of tbe Charles? ton Deutcb Zeitung. Chaplain : Sidi H. Brown, of the Colom? bia Christiao Neighbor. Executive Committee: Tbe above officers an* N. 6. Gonzales, A. J. Clark aod G. P. Brown. There will be a special effort to make the next meeting both well attended and success? ful in every ether respect. An excursion to Washington and New York is on the books for the next jear, and it is hoped by the officers that the attendance I will be unusually large. Sumter's Gala Week. There are few prettier places in the South than the City of Sumter. We make this statement without fear of successful contra? diction, nor do we believe that anyone who ha? ever visited our city would even desire to hold a contrary opinion. There, are few places, also, more desirable aa a place of residence. Let a o impartial judge examine all of ber points of advantage and no citizen, however enthusiastic and ? patriotic, would anticipate toe verdict with any fear. Such being the case is it not well to adver? tise our city as mach as possible, in order that others may share the blessings which are so freely dispensed to those whose privilege it is to claim the Game Cock City as their home? There is no better way to? do this than by entering with our whole souls into the coming Gala Week. Let nothing remain undone, which if done would -make this event mere attractive. We .bav? many things here which.would captivate a visitor, and the more visitors we capture the larger will our city become, and the more will our citizens he benefit ted. Let a spirit of patriotism fill.your -beings, and-w-beo you contribute to the Gala Week casse, do so in this spirit ; bot at the same time yon may feel that you are. giving nothing bot. what wiU.be returned with/great interest sooner or later! : Leuns-, pa lt together* !W* have made ;*auccess pf manyf ; things gm, Uay s past -f and we can make a brilliant success of the Gala Week. Let us4.otiU Change of Name. It freaaently- %firppens in the experience of everyone that be bas occasion to rebel against the sentiment which was expressed by Avon's Hard ia the words which "bave become trite by frequent repetition : "What's in a came." We are often inclined to agree with the AntbOr of "Lucile" wheo be exclaims io an ou tba rs t of indignation : "0, Sbakspere, how couldst thou say 'What's io a name ?" Xhecase which compels us to appreciate the sentiment' of Meredith is-notooeof poetry, but very prosy prose-a prose however which bas a peculiar effect upon us, for it has to do with the interest of our town and county. Last- week a petition was circulated among oar .citizens, w hose-objaot-was 4o-?oIi?t .the proper authorities ,-k> ?change the name of the ^'Manchester And Augusta R. R." to the "Sumter and Augusta R. R." We see no reason why this name should not be changed. Sumter is an important terminus in this road and as- such -she ia entitled to the privilege of being- represented in the name. There's a greet deal ia a name and we hope that the authorities will come to the conclusion that Sumter is entitled to what she asks aod thal hereafter the name shall be, "Sumter and Augusta R. R."_ Pure Water. Superintendent Bloom tell us that since the intensely bot weather bas set io with the consequent cases of fever, that the number of tbose who subscribe for pure water nas been greatly increased. There's nothing which exerts -a more powerful influence on the health of a person tbao water-tbe purer the water, the better tbe health. Sumter can boast oot only of a fine system of water works but also of a supply of water which, is absolutely pore. Why not take advantage of this great convenience and powerful health giver? JUDGE ALDRICH ON THE '93 ACT. Toe IrtBpensary Law is Unconstitu . tional. [Toe State] Aiken, Aug. 18.-Judge Aldrich rendered bis decision this evening io the case of the city council of Aiken against Dispenser J. V. George. This case crew out of ao attempt of Mayor Cb alee to prohibit the dispensary from selling malt or vioous liquors without first tak? ing out a iiceose under the ordinance of the city. The State applied to Judge Aldrich for ao order prohibiting the mayor from interferiog with a State officer io the discbarge of bis duty? The case was argued last Tuesday at tbe court house. Judge A Idrich's decision is long, con? taining oearly 7,000 words. The de? gree is entitled, "The State ex rela? tions J. V. George, aod G. T. Holley j against the City Council of the City of Aikeo. Order io rule to show cause, etc." The judge, after an elaborate argument aod review of the authorities, overruled the first objection of tho re? spondents, that the writ of prohibition was oot the proper remedy, holdiog that it was largely io the discretion of the court, and he concluded that this was a proper case for that extraordinary remedy. Toucbiog the dispeosary act of 1893, he s ay s : "Next io order, as presented by the petition and the return herein, is the question involving the constitu? tionality of the dispensary act of 1893 1 do not propose to pass upoo the en? tire act, because the entire act is not called into question herein. The question narrowed down is. Is the said act uncon? stitutional and void insofar as Mr. George and Mr. Holley claim that it is valid, and authorizes their appointment, as dis penser and clerk of dispenser at Aiken and warrants them io selling liquor. The petition asserts that Mr. George is dis? penser aod that Mr. Holley is his clerk ; that both of them were "duly" appoint? ed. The return, except as I have stated, does not controvert these allega? tions of the petition, and I must aod do assume that if the said act of 1893 is valid, that their appointments to said offices were "duly'' made under said aot. 3jC ?f* 3|C 2|h " I concur most heartily in all that bas been said by the various members of the Supreme Court upon the delicacy which courts should exercise in pass- i iog upon the constitutionality of au act of the General Assembly. It is the highest, the gravest, most important , aod most delicate issue which courts i b&ve to pass upon. The General As- 1 sembly, the legislative department su- 1 preme io its sphere, a coordinate aod , coequal part of the government, bound only by the supreme law, tl Constitution, and is presumed to eoa statutes to conformity to this su pren law. I confess, and very frankly, th I haye aie vcr formed a opio ion, mut less reached ? mature coovictioo, upc the question of the constitutionality the act of 1892, called the dispensai act, resting upon my own research < individual research or individual jud? ment Except upon a motion, heat at Chambers in a case heard at Waite: boro, S. C., which did not question < purport to question, the constitutional ty of the act of 1892, I have never ba occasion to consider said act. Nor hs the act of 1893 been before me urn these proceedings. The judgment < the Supreme Court in McCullough vi Brown et al , 19 S. C., rep., 458, re cognized and followed in Barrington vc city council of Florence, and ex part Bruosoo, 19 S. E. rep. 745, and Stat vs. O'Donnell, 19 S. E. rep. 748, wa recognized as the law of the State bind ing upon me. It is my duty to folloi the law as declared by the Suprem Court. It was stated in argument tba the decision of the Supreme Court wa upon the act of 1892, and that tbe ac of 1893 has never been coopered bi that court. This is true. But I au called upon by all the parties to tbeai proceedings to consider the act of 1893 so far as it is involved in this action and it is my duty to do so. , Tho opio ions and judgments of the Supreme Court in a certain cause, while adjudi? cating the rights of the parties thereto, announces and declares broad princi? ples of law. These principles ?re moa! valuable, preserved at great expense by the State in book form for the bene? fit of the people and the guidance ol all persons charged with the adminis? tration inf law. ' These d?cisions consti? tute iuparttbelawoftbelaod, which enters into the daily life of the citi? zens and enters into every act and contract of every person dwelling with? in the limits of this State.. If, then, the Supreme Court of this State has in due ?nd legal form determined and an? nounced the principles of law by the constitutionality of the act of 1893 must be adjudicated insofar as it is in? volved here, I must determine the is? sue of those .principles. I think that the Supreme Court bas declared in Mc? Cullough vs. Brown tbe .principles by which this case is controlled. The principles declared in that case hare been recognized and followed by the ?ame court in three other cases above sited, so that I must accept and follow these principles of law as settled in this State "In McCullough vs Brown, supra, the Supreme Court in discussing thc act of 1892, page 467, says : 'Without going into detailed consideration of thc numerous sections of the act, we think it-safe to say that it is an act forbid? ding the manufacture or sale of intox? icating liquors as a beverage within the limits of this State by any private individual, invest ing- the right to manu? facture aud seil such liquors in the State, exclusively, through certain de? signated officers and agents.' So far as the selling of liquors by State officers or agents was involved the Supreme Court says the said act is unconstitu? tional. The act of 1893 insofar as it provides for tbe sale of liquors by State officers or agents, is practically the same, in this respect and upon these subjects much of the act of 1893 is a copy of the act of 1892. The additions, changes and modifications contained in the act of 1893 as to the appointment of dispensers and their clerks, and the sale of liquors by them, are malters of detail, incidents merely, and intended to carry out the design of the act of 1892. The decision in McCullough vs. Brown bad not been rendered when the act of 1893 was passed, hence the General Assembly could have no aid therefrom. The title of the act of 1893: 'To declare the law in reference to liquor/ indi? cates that there was a prior law or laws in existence and to 'Further regu? late the use' of liquor is equivalent to saying that there were existiog regula? tions upon the subject, and that the General Assembly desired to 'further regulate' the use, etc., of liquor. This is also shown by Section 44 of the act of 1893, viz : 'All acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed.' If the act of 1893 was the first upon the subject or intended to constitute the only law upon the sub? ject why should acts not inconsistent therewith be mentioned or repealed. I roust and do, hold, that the provis? ions of the act of 1893 under which re? lators claim to be officers or agents of the State, with the right and power to sell liquor, is unconstitutional, null and void.

Men '.-Don't Read This. In the closing daja of 1893, an effort was begun, io a small and quiet way, to test tbe disposition of our people to help themselves. In a few weeks fifty good and true repre? sentative men, some of whom rightly enjoy the highest esteem of all classes of our people, for nobility and purity of character, bad i signed tbe roll, and on the 15th day of April, ! 1894, a meeting was held at the Court House, io Sumter, to consider what was to be done. ! A plan of opera:ions waa clearly outlined, approved and agreed upon ; ?nd officers j elected, and instructed to draw up a Constitu? tion and By-laws, select a name for tbe asso- I eiation, and take steps to obtain a charter. Among the originators of this movement we see tbe names of T V. Walsh, J. D. Gra- ' ham, A. G. Flowers, Bartow Walsh, H. Frank Wilson, Rev. C. C. Brown, W. R. Delger, W. J. DuRaot. Dr. J. A. Mood, R. A. Chand? ler, W. D Gamble, Jno. M. McBlveen, W. R. Law, W. A. Nettles, W. F. Rhame, W. H. Scott, H. E. L. Peebles and 33 others, their peera in all but being widely known, thus ex? celling even them in the rare virtue of humi? lity. It was decided, for good and obvious rea? sons, by those elected to perfect the organiza? tion, to delay the commencemeent of opera? tions until autumn. And now "The Home Product Co-operative Life Association," of Sumter, S. C., makes its how to the public io a copy-rigbted, 6-page-leafiet Prospectus. They intend to copy-ngbt all their ..litera? ture" and patent thur new features. They i eal ly have something new to say on that "thread-bare subject,and aay it in an interesting way. Tbe originator thinks if they have not "solved tbe problem of Life Insurance," they have At least made loog strides toward it. If it works half as well io practice, as it looks in theory, it is a great improvement over all the old plans tn vogue. We think it worth while for our business men, and all who have material interests, near or remote, in tbis county (and those of every locality,) to give this matter con? sideration, for outside tbe consideration of a cheap and safe insurance, the reflex benefit to all business-is well worth the cost of it. This is the way to build up a place-co? operation. And it seems that now we can lay all other sections under contribution to oura, as we have been so loog contributing to others.
