Upon request of Mayor Jones, Mr..
J. F. J. Caldwell also gave an opinion
on the law which we give hrrewlth:
Mr.. CA1DWELL's OPINION.
NEwBERRY, S. c., April y, 1894.
NY Dear Sir: I have carefully con-
sidered the recent opinion of the Su-
preme Court and the two Acts of the
Legislature commonly known as the
Dispensary Law of this State. | con-
clude that the Supreme Court holds
valid so much Of these Acts as pro-
hibits the issuing Of licenses to retail
spirituous liquors and beer.
I also conclude that the first section
of the Act of 1898, prohibiting the sale
of spirituous or malt liquors, and that
that portion of that Act under the de-
cision of the Supreme Court, is to be
construed valid, upon the same
reasoning by which the court holds
licenses not issuable, I conclude,
therefore, that the Town Coun-
Gil of Newberry cannot lawfully
grant licenses for the sale of spirituous
or malt liquors, and that they have the
right to suppress and prevent the
traffic in such liquors.
Respectfully yours,
J. +. J. CALDWELL.

Mayor of Newberry.

The Whiskey Question In Newberry.

Elsewhere we print an ordinance on
the whiskey question by the city coun-
ell, and to it we direct the attention of
those interested. We also quote below
the opinion of Geo. B. Cromer, Esq,
attorney for the town, and upon that
view of the case the ordinance is based:
We think the opinion is correct, and
the action of council proper. We will
now have trial of prohibition. The
council will use all diligence TO have
the ordinance enforced. Here is the
text of the opinion of MIR. Cromer on
the subject:
NEwBERRY, S. c., Nav l, 1894.
Hon. E. C. Jones, Mayor, Newberry,
sc.
Sir: I have your request for my opin-
ion rs to the powers the Town Council
can at present exercise over the sale of
spirituous liquors, and that draft an
ordinance prohibiting such sale IN the
Town of Nswberry, if I conclude that
the Council has the power to enforce
ap ordinance of that kind.
While the recent decision of the
Supreme Court, interpreting the Dis
pensary Act of 1892, has not left the
subject free from doubt, have arrived
at the conclusion, after careful inves-
tigation of the law, that it is now un-
lawful to sell spirituous or intoxicating
LIQUORS in the Town of NewberSy, with
out license, and that the Town Coun-
Gil has DO authority to grant license
for such sale.
If you desire, I shall be pleased to
file statement Of the reasons that have
led me to this conclusion.
I hand YOU herewith a draft of an
ordinance which seems to me broad
enough in its provisions for present re-
uuirements. Yours respectfully.

NOTES FOR THE FAIR SEA.
Fashion. Posing, Marriage, Eating, Health
and Royalty.
Especial Correspondence.

Especial Correspondence
| NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Sleeves are to be
larger than overland longer In most OF
| the important gowns the sleeves reach to
| the first joint OF the thumb. Whether they
are trimmed or not at the wrist is q mat
ter OF Individual taste, but a quilting or a
fall of lace is a foil to a bony wrist.
Posing has become a society fad. Very
few fashionable women sit in the conven-
tional evening dress for oil paintings now.
Instead they pose in the costume of some
historical or allegorical character
Single women live longer than single
men, and benedicts longer than bachelors
This looks as though single men need
some one to help take care of them.
Eating a heavy meal at noon without
taking nap afterward is a mistake en-
ployed women should not make. With a
piece of well done toast, half a pint of
cocoa, chocolate or hot milk and some
fruit woman can keep up her strength
and keep her wits sharpencd until dinner
time.
Walking is the fad To follow this sen
sible fad the footwear made to display the
trimness and smallness of ones feet must
be abandoned. It requires something a
little lower of heel, a little broader ana "a
little longer to make walking pleasure.
Almost all the cases of vermiforn ap-
argue that women eat slower than men,
masticate their food better, and above all
are more careful TO avoid swallowing seeds
The Princess of Wales no longer looks
AS young as her daughters. An American
who saw her recently at church in London
writes that she looks old and i'll. She has
faded ever since the death of her elder son.
but very much so since the marriage of
Prince George. The princess was bitterly
opposed To his marriage with Princess
May because of his previous marriage
with n Miss Seymour, by whom he has
two children. The queen, however, in OPP
position 10 the Princess of Wales, had that
marriage set aside so that the Duke Of
York might contract a royal alliance
Women are less reserved about their pri-
vate affairs than men. This is a bad fault
and one every woman should overcome.
Reserve on all subjects is good thing TO
cultivate. Nine. de Stael says she never
gave n confidence in her life that she didn't
have cause 10 regret it.
\ larger number Of women than usual
have gone hunting in the Adirondacks
this fall. For years Mrs. Cleveland, in a
short corduroy cunning costume leggings,
alpine hat and gun over her shoulder,
was familiar figure around Paul Smiths
station. Her two little daughters. 10
whom she devotes all her attention, will
probably interfere with these cunning ez-
penitions for some years to come.
