TESTING THE STATE RIGHT
In Prohibiting the Carrying of
Liquor Into South Carolina.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 10
The POrtner Brewing company
has beer barrel on it's shoulder
and has dared Governor Trellman
to knock it off. The keg has ar
rived from Charlotte, n. c., and
consigned to the agent of the COM
pany here. The shipment was
made purely for the purpose of
testing the right of the state in pro
hibit Dads under the dispensary
of law from the carrying Of liquor
to parties in South Carolina, from
points in adjoining states. The keg
in question was brought to the
city by a South Carolina
road, that company having re-
ceived it from the Richmond and
Danville road, and delivered it to
the brewery's agent here, with the
announcement by railroad authori-
ties, that the package was subject
to contiscation, and the receivers
subject to a'tine and imprisonment.
The brewers agent received it and
placed it on ice in conspicuous
place in their establishment. There
it remained throughout the day,
unmolested by many spies, with
which the governor has flooded
the city. SO far from attempting
to do business in an underhand
manner, especial pain has
been taken to inform the authOri-
ties of what is being done. The
governor has made no movement
against Charleston yet, although
it is rumored that his constabulary
have upwards ofsffty cases pre-
pared, and that the battle will be-
gin in a day or two.

THE BAPIIsTs OF AMERICA.
10000 Delegates Expected at the
Big Meeting at indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, July -. - Re
ligiOus gatherings of young people
are taking the country by storm.
Fast upon the heels of the Epworth
League came the Christian En-
deavor convention at Montreal,
and today the greatest Baptist
gathering ever held on the Ameri-
can continent begins in Tomlinson
Hall. 1t is the international con-
vention of the Baptist Young Peo-
pies Union of America, and no
city of the United States is with
out a representation.
The arrangements for the con-
vention have been in the hands of
the Rev. f. l.. Wilkins, field secre-
tary, and John H. Chapman, presi-
dent, both of Chicago. The latter
will call the gathering to order to-
day.
All young peoples organizations
in every Baptist church of the
country are entitled to one dele
gate, and it is estimated that the
representation will sum up about
ten thousand.
The following are the general
section colors used: Scarlet is the
general color for Canada; gold for
Northern States east of the Missis-
sippi : blue for states west of the
Mississippi and olive green for the
South; each state, territory and
province also has its own color
apart from the above section"
colors. The convention badge is
white, and at the top is tied the
two designating colors, one telling
the general section and the other
the particular state or province of
the wearer as the case may be. So,
on the whole, it will be gay look
ing body of young people.
The first annual convention of
this organization was held at De-
troit, Mich, in July, 1892. Over
800 delegates attended, represent
ing young peoples societies con-
nected with Baptist churches in
all the. states and Canada. The
following national officers were
elected: President, J. II. Chap
man, of Chicago; first vice-presi-
dent, Rev. J. B. Cranfill, d. d., of
Texas; second vice-president, T.
Urquhart, of Canada; third vice
president, Frank Harvey Field, of
New York; recording secretary,
Rev. r. F. Y. Pierce, of Mt. Holly,
n. j.; treasurer, j. O.. Staples, of
Chicago.

Bracket News: "July % closes
the fiscal year of the Brack-
EFT News and we will be
called on to make settlements that
will require considerable outlay
more than we can meet unless our
patrons will come tOOur assist
ance with the small amounts due
us. twill hot be large amount
for any one, and if all will kindly
remit what is due the paper we
can make ends meet"
Denison Herald: "Great care
should be taken in writing to
friends, who are visiting the
Worlds Fair. Two tons of misdi-
rected letters are already stacked
up in the government building. One
reason for this is that every board
ing house is called a hotel. Be sure
and place the street and number
on letters going to Chicago"
Laredo Times: "When Prince
Bismarck likened the single gold
standard to three big men trying
to cover with one little blanket, he
expressed it nicely; they may pull
and stretch, but it won't go round.
When some of the great powers OF
the world are well supplied with
gold, others must have a scant sup
ply, andthat as long as single
standard is maintained, will cause
business depression and suffering"
Waco Day-GlObe: "The railroads
gave special and lower rates to
Chicago on July 4. The result was
more business than some Of the
lines could handle. There is a
strong hint in this to all the roads
that a really cheap fare>from any
part of this Uuion to the EXPOSE
ton would surely result in doub-
ling their business. Existing rates
are not unreasonable; it would
be unfair to charge that-but
would it not be better for roads
and people, too. that they shall
make the present rate materially
lower and carry twice the paSsen-
gers they will otherwise carry ="
Waco News: "The News is at
present unable to say who will be
called upon by the Democratic
party of this state to carry the
banner of the party to victory in
the next election, but it is certain
the party will make a wise selec-
ton. Taking the Austin interview
as a pointer it is almost certain the
Hon. George Clark will muster his
cohorts and attack with horse, foot
and dragon the hitherto impreg-
nable camp of the Democracy of
this state"

Non-Union Sailor Murdered.

EUREKA, Cal, July 49, The
body of an unknown man, evident
ly a sailor, has been found in the
bay here. The body was bound
with a rope, tied into sailors
knot. There was gag in the
mouth and two bullet holes in the
head, apparently showing that
the man had been murdered.
The theory of the case is that the
man is non-union sailor, and that
this murder was the result of
trouble between union and non
union men, which has existed here
for some time.
