SOUTH cARoL1NA'S LAW.
Judge Simonton of the U. S. Court
Decides Against the State.

GREENv1LLE, S. c., Aug. 21,-
The decision of Judge Simonton
in the q. S. Circuit Court in the
habeas corpus case of Langford was
filed tosday. LaDgford is the agent
of the Richmond & Danville Rails
road at Prosperity, in this State.
He was arrested and held under
the twenty~ffth section of the
State dispensary liquor law for
delivering to the consignee a keg
of whiskey shipped from outside of
this State. The section referred to
forbids any common carrier to
transport or any agent to deliver
packages of liquor which has not
the official certificate of the State
dispenser that they are for use OF
the State dispensary. The railraod
company claimed that this section
was contrary to the Interstate
Commerce laws and the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution of
the United States. The State
claimed that it wac the exercise of
it's legitimate police powers.
Judge Simonton's decision briefly
synopsised is as follow: The twenty,
fifth section of the dispensary act
makes it a misdemeanor for a rails
road employe to deliver intoxicat-
ing liquors from his train, and this
without requiring any knowledge
on his part that the package con-
tains Intoxicating liquors. or that
it is intended for sale. In every
other instance mentioned in this
section, including private carriers,
and railroad and express CONS
pauies, knowledge that the intox~
icating liquor is intended torsale
is expressly required. This is a dis

within the provisions of the act Of
Congress known as the "Wilsor
Act" This being the case, the
clause of the 25th section of the

amendment. He must be discharged

~DEMocRAcYs SITUATION.

A house is on fire. The Fire De-
partment is called out. The Chief
directs water to be thrown on the
front of the burning building. A
number of the subordinates insist
that water shall first be thrown on
the back, The chief appeals to the
klckers to go on, calling their at
tention to the necessity of immed-
late action, if the building is to be
saved, and receives the reply, "We
must first discuss the question for
fourteen hours"
OF course the building becomes a
total wreck!
The Fire Department is the Dem

D1SpGtch:
Please explain why cigarette
smoking is so much injurious to
health than any other kind of
smoking. and oblige,
CIGARETTE SMOKER.
1t is not from any injurious in
gredient placed in the tobacco or
any substance of a deleterious ma
ture used in the manufacture OF the
paper, but from the fact that the
poisonous properties of the tobacco
is taken Into the system in g dual
way. The smoker of a cigarette is
really chewing and smoking at the
same time, and the evil is further
attributable TO the fact that the
amount of tobacco used during the
day is much larger than the guam
tity of the weed consumed by the
average chewer or the smoker OF
either the pipe or the cigar. To
bacco in any form used in large
quantities is detrimental to the
general health. In time it upsets
the nervous system, impairs the
digestion, and over-excites the cir-
culatory system.
There are a limited number oil
persons who are so easily impressed
by the use of small quantities Of
tobacco in any form that their
health speedily becomes impaired
thereby and they are liable to fill
untimely graves. Paralysis, apo
plexy, Bright's disase. and heart
failure are liable to be brought
about in this class of indulgers.
The crying evil of the day is the
use of the cigarette by the youths
of the country. It interferes will
the physiological action of the en-,
tire system, arrests the normal
growth and development of The
body, and if the habit becomes gen
eral will, in time, diminish the aver
age statue OF the men of the land
What is still worse, is that indul'
gence in tobacco by our boys makes
so marked an impression on theil
nervous systems that by the time
they reach the age of Is or &c
years a craving tor additional
stimulation becomes SO patent tina
they will in the great majority O
cases seek consolation in stronger
excitants, such as alcohol and thu
opiates.
