IL the agent Of the Richmond & Danviile X.
X. at Prosperity. He was arrested and held
under the twcnty-fifth section Of the Dispen-
sary liquor law for delivering to q consignee
keg Of whiskey shipped from outside Of
the Staie.
The section referred 10 forbids any com.

the official certificate Of State Dispenser that
they are for the use OF the State Dispenssry.
The Railroad Company claimed that this Sec
tiOn was contrary to the interstate commerce
laws and the fourteenth amendment to the
constitution Of the United States. The State
claimed that it was the exercise of such
State police power as was bestowed by the
"Wilson law"
Judge Sifhonton's deci sion briefly synop-
sized is as follows:
The etwenty-f fifth section of the Dispensary
act makes it q misdemeanor for a railroad
employee to deliver intox ioating liquors from
his train, and this without requiring any
knowledge on his part that the package con-
tains intoxicating liquors, or that il is inten-
ded for sale. In every other instance men,
toned In this section, Including private
carriers, and railroad and express compa-
Dies, knowledge that the intoxicating liquor
IS intended for sale is expressly required.
This Is discrimination against one class of
persons-ralroad employecs-and Is in con-
fiict with the constitution of thir State, and
so is not within police power, and. therefore,
not within the provisions Of the act of Cun-
gress known as the Wilson act"
"This being the case, the clause of Section
20 OF The Dispensary act, uudcr which the
petitioner was charged and arrested, is void
under the interstate law aud fourteenth h
amendment aud he must be discharged from
custody"
The State will probably appeal to the

The bank is the successor of the Finney

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

LAYTON, 5. c., August H., 1S93-Capt
Chns. Petty Dear Sir: We want to or
ganize camp of Confederate Veterans at
Hlenn Springs, and write to ask if there is
anything III the Constitution and BYLAWS
OF the camp ut Spnrinnburg that would pre-
vent us from organizing local or sub-camps.
lhere arc great many old soldiers who
prefer to join local camp, who can not get
to Spnrlnnbnrg often. suppose that most
vi tue olu soldiers names arc enrolled at
Spartanburg. Would that prevent them
frcm Jonging n sub-camp?
The advantages of local organization, |
think, are many. They can be better looked
after, and meet cftencr. and greater inter
est will DC taken. Their deaths can be
Noted, short history can DC given of their
lives anu deeds, both III war and peace, aud
published. We ought not to let them die
anu psss away without honorable mention
Ihere nrc not 50 many of us now but what
special mention or notice ought to be given
when one passes away. Please give me
your opinion rs early as possible. We want
TO perfect and organize during tho leisure
time. A. II. IIyros
There is nothing in the Constitution or
By-Laws of the Sparanburg Camp of Con
fcdcrate Veterans which would prevent the
organization Of local camps. The fact that
Confcderates name is on the roll of the
survivors Association does not mean that
hc belongs TO II camp. They are Distinct

formed 1t is very dcsi,ahlc that they
should be so located as to hc in reach OF
every soldier. The following letter from
General Moorman to Captain Brooks, of
Columbia, will give important information
on this point. We publish Mr. Layton 5

E-iy" For the first time since the mcmora-
ble yc,r 1876, last Friday, We broke loose
from our editorial mooriugs and driftcd
about | ) miles into the country, down to
I.ockhart ShO,l.. We were cordially recog-
nizcd hy the astonishcd citizens along the
road-onc or two, however, attempting to
detain us until they could hear from DR..
Dabcock. of the Lunatic Asylum. The trip
was considerably more than our old bones
had been used to for nearly ~ yrarI. ond
jumping toOthacbc "struck us soon after
we arrived at the residcuco of our old friend
Mr.. j. &. Farrar,
"a fine oil Carolina gentleman,
One of the oldcn tlmc,'
and we had about three days experience Of
the extremes of what may be truly called
"mingled pleasure and pain
We, however, "took in all the points of
that grand section of our county particularly
the immense amount Of work already done
toward building the magnificent Cotton Mill
Oh those great Shoals, and hope to give them
to our readers next week.
We saw but one thing to complain of on
the whole trip, and that was the bad coTni
tion of the road on Mt. Tabor route That
is disgrace to the County and an injury
10 the property owners on the road.

Why it was subsequently, announced by
you, as Editor, that the program rs to speak

the gentlemen giving the barbecue were not
responsible for this seeming discourtesy

were given the privilege of the grounds for
that occasion, but after their arrangements
were made the program published by them
as to Mr.. Fowler and myself speaking was
