THE lISPENSARY DECISION.

What will be the effect of Judge
Simonton's decision on the practical
operation of the dispensary law, it is
rather too early to predict with any
certainty; but at the same time, there
can be no doubt of the fact that it will
prove quite serious blow.
The only point before the court was
whether or not the State had the right
to prevent liquor from being shipped
into this from other States, and the
court says that under the interstate
commerce law, the State has no such
right. That fact will bring about an
noying complications.
Liquor is always salable. 1t is one
of the most salable commodities known.
Its price is regulated mainly by con-
venience of supply and the ability of
the consumer to purchase. The sue
cess of the dispensary depended only
on the power of the State to maintain
a monopoly, and to maintain this
monopoly, it was necessary to prevent
the importation from other States.
Since the importation of liquor from
other States can no longer be prevent
ed, individual consumers can now buy
their supplies more cheaply than from
the dispensary, and this of itself, will
cut off no inconsiderable trade. Not
only this, illegal dealers can get their
supplies with but little or no difficulty,
and be able to sell their stuff at prices
much less than those now fixed under
the dispensary law.
Ofcourse the dispensary can con-
tinue to sell liquor, and at big profit !;
but as to whether it can continue 10
maintain the necessary constables TO
protect it from the hundreds and
thousands of competitors who will
now be enabled to flourish and prosper
more than ever, is a matter of very
grave doubt. However, let US not
speculate too far. Perhaps. after all,
it will be better to just quietly await
developments.

The Committee Commences Arrangements
to Make 1t a Success.
Editor of The Yorkville Enquirer.
At meeting of the York County
Alliance, heldin Yorkville on the 18th
of April, it was decided to hold an al
lance encampment at Tirzah, York
county, S. c., on the 31st of July and
the 1st of August 1895. A committee
was also appointed, composed of the
various sub-Alliances adjacent to Tir-
zah, to meet sometime in May for the
purpose of making the necessary ar
rangements for the encampment. j. R.
Cook. Esq, was designated as chair
man of the committee.
On Saturday, May 4th, in response
to call of Mr.. Cook, the committee
met at Tirzah and organized by the
election of J. R. Cook as permanent
chairman, and J. F. Gordon secretary,
after which they proceeded to the
transaction of business. After discus
sion, it was decided to hold the en-
campment in the same grove-Mr.
r. r. Allison's-in which it was held
last year.
The chair appointed the following
committees: On music-J. A. McFad-
den. D. J. Glenn, Jr., and W. S. Gar
rison. On refreshments and entertain
ment-W. w. Miller, VIM. Whyte, and
J. Wingate. On stand and grounds
J. B. Barron, C. 4. Carroll, ]. F. Alli-
son, J. R. Conner, J. C. Robinson, J. F.
Gordon, J. J. Miller, and VIM. G. Tur-
ner. On order-W. T. Sturgis, J. A.
Shurley, w. P. Boyd, D. J. Glenn, Jr.,
J. 4. McFadden and w. S. Garrison.
1t was decided to request the COM
mittee on speaking to secure six speak
ers for the occasion, and report what
arrangements they have made at the
next quarterly meeting of the County
Alliance.
On motion, it was agreed that the
committee meet again on Saturday
July 18th, at 2 o'clock, p. m, in order
to still further perfect arrangements.
1t is earnestly hoped and expected
that everybody, not only Alliancemen,
but all who are friendly to the order,
will Join heartily in the movement, and
give it the benefit of their earnest,
practical cooperation and support, in
order that the encampment at Tirzah
may be time long to be remembered.
If everybody interested will work
faithfully, the result will be that the
encampment at Tirzah will be in every
way a complete success. Wake up,
brethren and let us have a rousing
good time. JOHN F. GORDON.
Secretary.

The alorkrille Gaq]tirer.
YORKVILLE, S. c..
FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1895.

AS we understand it, Judge Goff's
decision does not affect the status of
the pending call for a constitutional
convention. 1t merely means that
South Cardinals registration laws are
at variance with the constitution of the
United States, and must he set aside.
In the election of delegates to the pro-
posed constitutional convention, all
citizens of the State otherwise qualified
and not laboring under any constitu-
tional disabilities, will be enabled to
vote whether they have ever been reg
istered or not.

MATCH CHARLOTTE.

We note from the Charlotte Observer
of Wednesday, that the county COM
missioners of Mecklenburg county have
practically decided to macadamize the
Charlotte and Yorkville road to the
South Carolina line.
We are not disposed to throw a
damper on the progress of our neigh
bors; but to us this news has quite
an ominous sound for all kinds Of busi-
ness over in this direction. 1t means
that Charlotte is reaching out intelli-
gently and progressively for our trade,
and unless something is done she will
accomplish all that she is driving at.
As the traveller from Yorkville be-
gins to approach Charlotte, he strikes
a splendidly macadamized road, and
although still five or six miles away,
it is not many minutes until he begins
to realize that he is practically in town.
The road is so good that it seems to
at once tighten the load and shorten
the distance something like one-half.
He feels that good roads are the
best investment that any community
ever made, and calls blessed the in
telligent spirit that helped to concen-
trate public energy in such wise di-
rection.
If the Mecklenburg commissioners
macadamize the road referred to to the
river, the distance to Charlotte will be
shortened at least one-fourth, and the
result will be the diversion of large
per cent. of trade that had previously
been coming to points on this side of
the river. There is only one means
by which the threatened calamity can
be averted, and that is by following
Mecklenburg's example. Let all the
towns on this side of the river take up
the work of macadamization at their
respective incorporate limits, and meet
the Mecklenburg commissioners at the
ferry.

pleas.
Insured for $1,000.
In the notice of the death of Mr.. R..

for $1,000 in the interest of his family
was omitted.
Miss Yates.
Miss Elizabeth L. Yates, the Wo-
mans Rights lecturer was at the court
house last night and was listened to
by a large audience. Before the lee
ture was over, however, it was neces-
sary for THE ENQUIRER to go to
press in order to catch the southbound
mail and it is not possible to summar-
ize the points Of her argument before
Wednesday.
To Move Up Town.
Manager J. T. Gray, of the Western
Union Telegraph company, was in
Yorkville Wednesday perfecting ar
rangements for the location of the tel
egraph Office at this place on Main
street. 1t it the intention of Manager
Gray to run the wires from both rail-
roads into one Office, so that all the
business of the company at this place
can be transacted under one manage
ment.
A Valuable Work.
During the past week, large num-
Der of families in Yorkville and vicinity
have been recipients of copies of the
Royal Baking Powder company's fa-
nous cook book. The book is neatly
bound volume Of about $50 pages, and
contains recipes not only for the use of
the baking powder, but for the prepara-
ton of almost every dish that has ever
been heard of. 1t is simply invalua-
BILE, and the ladies who received it, are
most enthusiastic in its praise.
The First News.
Through the kindness of Mr.. August
Kohn, thel efficient representative of
The News and Courier, in Columbia,
THE ENQUIRER was enabled to give
the people of Yorkville and surround
ing vicinity, the full substance of the
opinions of Judges Golf and simonton
in the registration and dispensary cases
within and hour after their deliverance.
The kilograms bringing the news were
posted on a bulletin board in front Of
THE ENQUIRER Office Immediately af-
ter receipt.
Where Are the Bluebirds?
The bluebirds have disappeared. So
far as is known, nobody has seen one
this spring. The general theory seems
to be that all were killed by the severe
freeze and big snow of February.

authority, we do not accept this theo-
ry as entirely satisfactory. The blue
birds may have Jared badly during the
snow and freeze; but we notice that
the detestible little English sparrow
is still on hand. The English sparrow
is quite a fighter and it has been sug-
gested that he has run all the blue
birds out of the country. This may
be true.
The Programme for This Afternoon.
The ENQUIRER is requested to an
nounce that the programme of the
memorial exercises in Yorkville, this
afternoon, has been arranged as fol-
lows: The ladies and others will
leave all the flowers they are willing

I. D. Witherspoon, Mrs. S. NJ. McNeel,

The public will assemble at the court
house square, and at 5 o'clock march
