THE REGISTRATION LAW.
The Supreme Court Sustains It.
Columbia Register,

The decision in the registration case brought
by ex-senator Butler last fall has been de-
cided. A majority OF the court decide that
they have no jurisdiction, while the ChiefJus
tice not only disagrees on the subject but pro-
ceeds 10 declare the law unconstitutional.
The decision of the Court Is announced by
Justice Gary. The general propositions
argued by him at length and Tor which he
quotes numerous authorities. ure as follows:
First, This liz a suit against the State In eff.
feet.
the action.
of the Act cannot be properly considered as
there are other grounds upon which the court
can rest It's Judgment.
Fourth, If the State could be sued she would
be estopped from Interposing the objection
that the services rendered at her Instance and
for her benefit were illegal. The approPria-
tion shows that the State desires the pay
meut Of such services. Equity will not,
therefore, lend It's aid to compel the State In:
directly through the defendants, as her fiscal
officers. to do that which the State could not
be COIN PEELED to do In a direct preceding.
JUSTICE popE's VIEWS.
Justice Pope In rendering his decision said
that the delay In the Judgment OF the court Is
owing to his failure To write this separate
opinion at an earlier date. When grave con-
slitutional questions are To be passed upon,
unless there is imperative necessity that there
should be no delay, the fullest aud completesl
and most painstaking study should or given
their consideration. While disagreelng with
Justice Gary IN u this being suit against
the State and citing the case Of Evans and
Robertson against The State Treasurer In the
matter of the validity Of the 80 10000 Issue ot
bonds year or two ago, as authority, ne
agrees with Justice Gary that the plaintih
had an adequate remedy at law and That The
court had no Jurisdiction.
II was stated by an attorney yesterday that
the case would be appealed TO the supreme
Court Of the United States and that action
along that line would be taken very soon.

Anderson's Institute.
PEOPLES Journal.

The Teachers Institute, witch was held here
last week by Prois. Albert and Sutlf. OF the
PENNSYLVANIA State Normal College, was the
most Successful in practical results of any
that we have ever held. Some 30 teachers
were enrolled. and IL was the unanimous yer.
dict OF the teachers that they had received
more practical benefit than ever before. The
teachers were instructed along the line OF
school work by being given work 10 do Them
selves. We knew before what Prof. Albert
was and although this was Prof. Sulli first
appearance here he showed himself the mas
srr Of his subject. and we venture the asSer-
sion that every teacher present VIII teach
arithmetic next winter. Those who failed To
:,tteud the institute nave missed Il great deal,
and it would be wise Thing If the patrons
srould iusist upon their teachers attending,
and in employing teachers II would be well To
taok out for those who attend the lustitute.
They may 4e good teachers without attending
the institute, but they will certainly he better
from having attended The exceptional ahil.
iiy shown in Institute work, and the hne
social qualities OF ProfS. Albert and Sutlltl
have greatly drawn many OF our people
toward them who were fortunate enough 10
make their acquaintance. We hope 10 see
them here again.

THE COLLEGE ENDOWMENT.
Is There any Good Reason for Its Re.
mOyaI From Our Midst:

Years ago the people OF Abbeville county
were q unit in their pride and In their affec-
ton for Due West and her institutions.
There Is, as far as we know, no reason why
there should not be a oneness OF feeling. But
how can this undoubting confidence and love
continue, If the colleges show themselves un-
friendly To US and our best interests?
Common justice revolts at the idea OF Ers.
kline College sending her funds out OF the
county, TO be used In building up other coun.
ties.
The cry all over the South has been, needed
capital TO develop our resources. In the face
of all that the Associate Reformed Synod acts
injuriously TO her best friend, to her natural
friend and ally, by Withdrawing $4,000 from
us the vast sum, to which we contributed.
We mention this matter Tor the reason that
we are deeply impressed with the grievous
wrong which has been perpetrated against
AbbevIlle county In the removal OF the col
lege funds.
We mention the matter for the further pur.
pose Of asking the members OF Synod To rec
tify this great wrong.
1t is ingratitude 10 take the funds away.
u Is a reflection on the business character
of our people. The natural conclusion being
that the Synod thought we had no man com,
petent to handle the money or that SYNOD
was afraid 10 lend 1t TO our people.

Another "registration case brought
against the existing law in South
Carolina has been "thrcwn out of the
United States Circuit Court.
1t was especially unto the poor that
the gospel of the eternal word was
preached. To such as these the voice
of God comes nearer, because it is
more willingly and gladly heard. The
broken heart is open, there is no pride
to close the way thereunto.
Nearness of life to the Savior will
necessarily involve greatness Of love
to, Him. AS nearness to the sun in
creases the temperature Of the various
planets, so near and intimate COM
munioG with Jesus raises the heat OF
the SOULS affections for Him.

WHAT ABBEVILLE SAYS.
Southern Presbyterian.

There is but one opinion in Abbe-
Vile amongst the white citizens, so far
as could hear, about Rev. and Mrs.
E. w. Williams and their work in
that region, and that is a feeling and
expression of great confidence. The
Session of the Abbeville Church, em-
bracing some of the best and wisest
men in South Corolina, has ordered
the preparation of testimonial of
their big regard for the workers and
their work.

CONE NOW

1t is time for action ! We have talk
ed enough. Show the colored people
that in proposing for them an Inde-
pendent African Church we do not
propose to shove them off to linger and
ianguish without applicances with
which to do their work. Who will be
the first man to send five hundred
dollars? Send it quick to Mr.. Smith
Some more after awhile.
Faithfully yours in Christ,

WHAT ABBEVILLE DID.

The Session gave me permission tc
make statement from the pulpit and
take subscription for this work,
Without extra effort and with sim
pie statement, the congregation sub.
scribed $125, 90 towards the purchase OF
the property. A board of trust of some
of the best men Of the town was ap.
pointed to take charge of the fund.
Mr.. ]. Allen Smith, president of the
National Bank of Abbeville, Is the
treasurer of this fund, which cannot
be used for any otherpurpose.
WHAT NOW? ?
Our Committee will appoint one of
the best men we can find to take
charge of canvass Of the Churches of
South Carolina as far the way may be
opened to raise the sum of TWO THOU
SAND DOLLARS, the amount actually
needed now for the pressing needs Of
this enterprise. 1t will all be spent in
South Carolina and every cent will go
toward the actual purchase of the
property unencumbered. Much more
than this will be needed ultimately,
but this sum will give us title.
