BoRDgRRISa ON ANARoHIsN. - Atlanta,
Ca, Aug. 19.-Another open air meeting of
unemployed workingmen was held tonight
at the arte,ian well. Manufacturers who
import labor were denounced aud sev-
eral speeches bordering on anarchy were
made. j. b. Ozburn, q labor organizer, ad-
vised the crowd TO demand work or money
of the city by marching TO the Mayors Of
flee in body. Ozburn said he had called
upon the finance committee today to find out
how much money the city has on hand, but
was refused.
He declared, however, that the suffering
laborers would know by next Saturday.
Resolutions were passed calling for boycott
Of the Nashville, Chattanooga and 81. Louis
Railroad Company, lessees Of the State road,
on account Of the removal Of the Western
aud Atlantic chops to Nashville. Laboring
men were called upon 10 refuse to buy goods

E9y~ For the first time since the memora-
BILE ye,r 1876, last Friday, we broke loose
from our editorial mooriugs and drifted
about IL miles into the country, down to
Lockhart Sho,ls. We were cordially recog-
nized by the astonished citizens along the
road-one or two, however, attempting to
detain us until they could hear from Dr..
Babcock, Of the Lunatic Asylum. The trip
was considerably more than our old bones
had been used to for nearly 20 years. ond |.
jumping toothacbe "struck u.s. soon after
We arrived at the residence of our old friend
Mr.. J. C. .Farrar,
"a fine old Carolina gentlemau,
One of the olden time"
and we had about three days experience of
the extremes of what may be truly called
"mingled pleasure and pain"
We, however, "took i'm all the points of
that grand section of our county, particularly
the immense amount of work already done
toward building the magnificent Cotton Mill
on 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 condi-
tion of the road on Mt. Tabor route. That
is disgrace to the County and an injury
to the property owners on the road.

SECTION 2S OF THE DIsPENsARY LAW
DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
ANYBODY CAN ORDER wuIsKEY AND HAVE 1T
DELIVERED WITHOUT TROUBLE
FROM THE OFFICERS.

GREESvILLE, s. c., August 2l.-The de-
cision of Judge Simouton in the United
States Circuit Court in the habeas corpus
case Of Langford was filed today. Laueford
Is the agent of the Richmond & Danville r.
X. At Prosperity. He was arrested and held
under the twenty -ffth section of the Dispen-
sary liquor law for delivering to consignee
. keg Of whiskey shipped from outside of
the State.
The section referred TO fprbids any COM
mon carrier 10 transport, or any agent to
deliver any package Of liquor, which has no,
the official certificate Of State Dispenser that
they are for the use Of the State Dispensary
The Railroad Company claimed that this Sec
tion was contrary to the interstate commerce
laws and the fourteenth amendment 20 ths
constitution of the United States. The State
claimed that 1t was the exercise of such
State police power as was bestowed by the
"Wilson law"
Judge Sifnonton's decision briefly synop-
sized is as follows
"Tbe twenty-ffth section of the Dispensary
act makes it misdemeanor for railroad
employee to deliver intoxicating liquors from
his train, and this without requiring any
knowledge on his part that the package con-
tains intoxicating liquors, or that it is iuten.
ded for sale. In every other instance men,
hohSu III tnis seCiion, lGCluulnR private
carriers, and railroad and express compa.
MES, knowledge that the intoxicating liquor
Is intended for sale is expressly required
This is discrimination against one class Of
persons-railroad employees-and is in con-
hict with the constitution of this State, and
so is not within police power, and. therefore,
not within the provisions of the act of Con-
gress known as the Wilson act."
This being the case, the clause of Section
20 OF the Dispensary act, uuder which tn,
petitioner was charged and arrested, is voit
under the interstate law aud fourteenth
amendment aud he must be discharged from
custody"
The State will probably appeal to the
United States Supreme Court.
The decision will cause the discharge O
several railroad agents in various parts o
the State who have been arrested as Lang
ford was. The roilroad eople claim that i
virtually relieves them of all restrictions il
bringing liquor into the State and deliverin,

AN UGLY BANK FAILURE.-Topeka, Kan,
Aug. 19.-One Of the most disastrous and
complete bank failures that has occurred in
Kansas is that Of the Finney County Farm
rs Bank. 1t will not be able 10 pay more
han 20 per cent. of its Deposits and, in
he opinion of State Bank Commissioner
Bredenthal, its officers should be arrested
and prosecuted for swindlng.
The bank is the successor of the Finney
Company National Bank, which when in its
failing condition last winter was converted
into State bank. When the reorganizat,o on
was affected, with o capital stock of SlO,-
600, Bank Commissioner Charles F. johnson
visited Garden City and made an examina-
tion. He was shown $4,000 in cash. AMI
ON that showing permitted the bank to be-.
gin business.
After he had returned to Topeka as il now
appears, a lot of the worthless paper of tho
national bank was substituted for the cash,
and the bank was looted in the most III ethod-
ical fashion by its officers. Hard times had
nothing to do with it.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

LAYTON, 5. c., August IL, 1S93-Capt
Chas. Petty Dear Sir: We want 10 or
ganize csmp of Confederate Veterans Mt
Glenn Springs, and write to ask if there is
anything i'll the Constitution and BYLAWS
OF the camp at Spartanburg that would pre-
vent us from organizing local or sub-camps
1herc are n great many old soldiers who
prefer 10 join local camp, who can not get
10 oPar'anbsrg often. suppose that most
oi tue olu soldiers names are enrolled at
Spartanburg. Would that prevent them
frcm jonging u sub-camp?
Inc advantages of local organization, l
think, are many. They can be better looked
after, anu meet oftener, and greater inter-
est will be taken. Their deaths can be
noted, short history can be given of their
lives and deeds, both in war and peace, and
published. We ought not to let them die
and psss away without honorable mention.
There arc not so many of us now but what
special mention or notice ought to be given
"hen one passes away. Please give me
your opinion as early as possible. We want
TO perfect and organize during the leisure
time. Al T.,yrox
There is nothing in the Constitution or
bylaws Of the Spartanburg Camp of Con-
iederate Veterans which would prevent the
organization of local camps. The fact that
u Coniederate's name is on the roll of the
Survivors Association does not mean that
.-seni..,ivus. rnoy might b merged into
one. Whenever there can be secured l5 to
So veterans in community let camp be
formed. 1t is very desirable that they
should be so located as TO he 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 8
letter and our answer for the benefit Of the
whole country:
