The! iotel Privileges, With tbefl parly enactment of a new dispensary A it is cot surprising tbat ioaccoracie?houid creep in, but it is surprising Bat a foil half section shoold be inftrporated tbat is clearly in contraven liol of the State Constitution. The recent offers issued by the gover? nor to the constables io Charleston to the effeot that all hotels having the spe? cial privilege granted by the State board of control must be stopped from selling liqnors after. 6 o'clock io the eveniog sbowa the unconstitotionality of a part ic the act so plainly that all ean understand it. The Constitution provides that alco? holic liquors sba!] be sold only between SUD rise and sun set. It was under this provision tbat Governor Eilerbe issued h-8 instruction to put a stop to the hotels io Charleston selling at night. Section 21 of tbe act parsed at the last session of tbe legislature provides ' that the State board of control shall have the power, upon a proper show? ing, and under snob roles as they may adopt, to exempt hotels where tourist or health seekers resort,, from being considered nuisances or as violating this act, by reason of any mao ager of such hotels .dispensing liquors'"bought from the dispensary, by the bottle, either night or day; but before any such exemption shall be granted, the State beard of cootroi shall require the manager of such hotel to give a good and sufficient bond io the penal som of ?3,000. conditioned for the observance of all tbe rules, regulations, and re strictions prescribed and imposed by the said board, and with al! the require? ment? of this act, aod it shall be law? ful for .any constable or officer thus ero ployed under this act to eoter such hotel at.d search it for contraband liquors at any time, day or Dight, with out warrant " The State board under this provi? sion, has granted the privileges thereto named 1 Tbe governor bas ordered the night sales stopped. By some it is argued that the board should take no cognizance of the Constitution, but go ahead, and obey the act creating the board. This is a very interesting question, but it seems tbat tbe governor is- not going to follow the dispensary law in this particular when th?* Constitution speaks to the contrary. Just, how the attorney general will reconcile these two differences remains to be seen - Tbe State. DISPENSARY CASES. 1 Special to The State Charleston, March 31 -The con? stables' troubles have not ended, and if anything, they will have a harder road to travel than heretofore, for the circuit .court has put itself on record in as emphatic a toanner as possible, that the constables shall not. seize, detain or confiscate liquor imported into the State for personal consump tion. Constable J. M. Scott . and ex Cou stables Lucius Cutbbert Roach and W. J. Hading are required by Judge Simonton's decision, handed down to day, to answer to the charge of violating the liquor imported for personal use by Messrs William Beckroge and M Herskowitz Tbe constables are also required to answer to the suit entered against them for $6.000 by both plaintiffs The constables have been fearful of the consequence of their rash deed ever since Mr. J. P. K. Bryan, the attorney for the plaintiffs, appeared In court and began tbe present action against them. They felt that they were hoping against hope when As 8istant Attorney General Townsend recently made a motion to vacate the order of arrest,, and to day's decision will coo8enqotly not be in the nature of a surprise to them. The constables will remain out of jail on bonds of $1,000 in each case recently given for their appearance at court. A RAILROAD CHANGE. Mr Rumph of St George's, who was in the city yesterday, stated that the probabilities were that the At lantic Coast Line would in the course of time run to that court house town He said that the question was being agitated of running a branch road from Harleyville to St George's and abandon that portion of the road from Harleyville to Pregnalls The latter point is only a junction for the Coast Line and South Carolina roads. Mr. Humph stated that the people of St "George's were thoroughly in favor of tue idea and would extend all possible aid to tbe railroad -Co? lumbia Register. Why is This Difference?
