it was the law. The action Of the court
makes 1t incumbent on me to take such
steps as my judgment will dictate to
protect the interests of the State and
of the people. The matter Is not fin.
lshed. Will obey the court for the
present and appeal to the supremcst

Governor Tillman was kept quite
busy today consulting with the various
officials and of course the decision was
the all absorbing topic. Governor Till
man had nothing whatever to say on
the subject. He would express no
opinion until the State authorities had
decided whatto do.
ne did not know what would be done.
He contends, however, that the decis
lon of the court has no effect on the
present law but simply decided on the
law Of 1892. He lid not explain wherein
there was any radical difference IN the
laws. He Is Of the opinion that the
case can be appealed to the United
State courts as questions of Federal
law came up under it. He did not say
positively that such action would be
taken though he intimated az much.
Mr.. Traxler said that as far as he
was concerned he had received no or =
ders to stop business and that he would
continue until officially notified Ito
quit. He said that he has a lot Of liquor
In transit and he does not suppose that
the decision will prevent him from pay
ing for 1t.
THE RESULT DOUBTFUL.
1t cannot be told yet exactly what the
reeult will be. The dispensaries are
still running and will not close at once,
There are so many legal loopholes that
the State can take advantage of and
keep them running.
The Supreme Court has ten days in
which to send down to the lower court
official notification Of their decision and
until that time expires things will like
ly remain as they are.

MELLO'S FLEET SURRENDERs
To the Brs szilian Minister at Buenol
AYres.

BUENos AYREs. April l7.-The re-
mains of the Brazilian rebel fleet, COM
manded by Admiral DeMello, which ar
rived off this port last night, are the sub.
ject of exchanges of telegraphlc MESA.
ges between the authorities of this place
and the Brazilian government, through
the Brazilian munster here. The rebel
ships are the Republic, Meteor Iris,
Urauo and Esperanza. They arc IN q
very dlapidated condition and rebels on
board of them are suffering from sick
moss, wounds aud lack of proper food
supplies. Their temporary wants have
been supplied, with the consent of the
Brazilian minister, who has received ad-
vices from Rio De Jaueiro, saying that
general amnesty would be granted to the
lnsurgent rank, and file, and that the
Brezlllan government will pay the quar-.
antine expenses OF the ships if they are
surrendered TO the Brazilian minister.
Consequently the Argentine govern
ment, with the consent of the rebel lea
ders, is now experimenting the delivery
Of the five war vessels to the minister
and this will have been accomplished by
the time this dispatch reaches the United
States. The crews ofthe rebel ships are
being disembarked at the Lazaretto here
and will be cared for until further orders
are received from Rio De Janeiro. 1t is
believed that when the men aud ships
are IN aproper condition, they will re-
join the Brazilian vessels under The
government officers aud return to RIO De
Janeiro.

and that they may all, with the excep

no lear OF being severely punished fol
the part which they have taken in the
rebellion. 1t is understood that Presi.
dent Piexoto, in adopting this wise and
lenient policy has acted under The advice
OF foreign power, which has the inter.
ests Of the Republic Of Brazil at heart.

foreign country where he can hide him

the utmost contemptis Expressed for DE

mira's most intimate supporters con-

Da CANA proposes to seek out Admiral

there Is little doubt but that he will be
promptly tried by court.marlial and

A. CALL FOR CLUBS.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM GENERAL
HAMPTON ON THE SUBJECT.

What Chaunoey r. Black, President of tho
National Association, Thinks About tho
Organization OF state Democratic Clubs.
He Defines their Object.
To the Editor Of the State:
Ihe following letter was addressed to
me recently by the Hon. Chauncey Il.
Black, the president OF the National
Association Of Democratic Clubs" and
as 1t Is 80 forcible a plea for the organ
ization Of these clubs throughout the
country, deem its publication impor-
tant. AS VICE president Of the league
for South Carolina, 1t Is my duty to re-
as my views on the subject he has 80
ably presented are in full accord with
his, that duty becomes in this case q
pleasure.
In my judgment II there ever was a
time when the great Democratic party
depended for its permanence, Its very
existedce, on the unity Of Its members,
1t is now, when false creeds and false
prophets threaten to destroy 1t. This
| regard as eminently the case in South
Carolina, where many Of our truest
men have been led astray by the pro-
mitigation Of political heresies, claimed
ny IuelE auVOCaCeS 10 Do true ''J 61t6r-
soniaD Democratic principles"
The vast majority of the whites in
South Carolina are at heart staunch
and loyal Democrats, and they would
not knowingly imperil their party, 80
when warned as they are In such
strong and truthful language by one Of
the ablest leaders of the Democracy, as
Governor Black has always beeu, of the
dangers threatening the party. L have
faith that they will rally to the sup.
port Of the only party which promises
peace, prosperity and protection to the
South.
My function as vice president of the
National League is to present to the
people of South Carolina, the views and
wishes Of the President. IF they are in
accord with him as to the dangers
ahead Of us, and the vital Importance
Of prompt action in order to avoid
them, shall gladly give all aid In my
power to the formation Of Democratic
clubs.
! therefore urge all Democrats wht
stand ou the national platform to or
gauize promptly these clubs, to which
every true Democrat will he eligible a.
a member.

Vice President, National Association
Of Democratic Clubs.

Congressman Shell, veteran Of the

OF the now nearly twenty thousand

papers published for general circulation
in every state and territory, and of these
the Toledo Weekly Blade is the best and
most poplar Of them all. II is the oldest,
best known, and has the largest circula-

has been regular visitor to every por-
ton Of The Union, and it is we'll known at
every one of the siyty thousand odd post
offices Of the country. tits made espec-
tally for family rcading. 1t gives the en-
tire news of the world each week in such
condensed form rs we'll save reading
scores of pages OF daily papers to get less
information. Republican in politics, tenn
pcrance in principle, always on the side
of Justice and right, it is just the paper
Tor the rising generation, and great ed
ucator for the whole family. Serial
stories, wit and humor, short stories,
household department, question bureau,
farm department., camp fire, Sunday
school and young folks are few of the
many OTHER p4EliHente features of this
great paper. A specimen copy will be
mailed free to any address on application,
and the publishers invite any person to

rho Churches of Provence.

No Provencal churches of later date
than St. Trophine demand attention
in sketch like this. Along the sea.
coast Saracenic invasions had fostered,
in very early days. a fortified type OF
church, and this was brought into
greater prominence by the Albigensian
wars and the constant attack of Med
iterranean pirates; even the church
which enshrines the bones of the holv
Marys has military-looking walls and
Manifestations. But, common to all
the southerly parts Of France, fortified
churches may best be studied to the
westward Of Provence; and when
Northern Gothic penetrated the land,
the attempt to unite its characteristic
ideas with Provencal' ideas in regard to
ground plan and proportions, produced
results which are interesting rather
than attractive. The pointed work Of
provence has distincter local flavor
than that of most of the other prov
inses of France, but it appeals to the
lovers of architectural history more
thin to the lover of architectural
