THE STATUTE RoUNDLY DENOUNCED

Enactment the Purpose Of which wss
to Suppress the Negro yote-Uncosstita
tionai, - stupendous Outrage" and
sClcse ON the Border Of Crime"-sena-
torial Deadlock In Delaware.
COLUMBIA, S. c., May 9-For q week
arguments have been going on before
United States Judge Golf in case in.
volving the constitutionality of the South
Carolina registration law. Yesterday the
judge delivered his decision, declaring the
law unconstitutional. The law was
framed with the express purpose of de-
priving negro citizens of their votes.
Judge Goff's decision Is very lengthy and
exhaustive. After stating the salient
features OF the case as presented by the
attorneys he carefully reviews the history
of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth
amendments to the federal constitution,
whose express purposes. he holds, were to
insure the right Of suffrage to citizens of
African descent.
Evident Purposes of the Law.
He declares that the registration laws
of South Carol ina are in conflict with the
amendments, and that their evident in.
tent and purpose is to facilitate the voting
of white citizens, while making it hard for
the inferior race" to prepare for casting
their ballots. He reviews the provisions
of the registration laws to show how hard
they make it for African citizens to vote.
The requirements are unreasonable, bur-
densome and harassing, and clearly i'm.
pede and abridge the right of the consti.
tutional voters of the state to cast their
ballots. He gives the law and its franz
ers terrible roasting" and uses very
plain language in declaring his opinion of
the statute under consideration.
Stupendous Outrage Enacted.
"a careful examination" he says, ''of
the registration enactment of the state of
of South Carolina, excluding the act of
1894, brings me to the conclusion that If a
voter who was duly qualified and entitled
to register in May and June, 1889, did not
on account of absence, sickness, mad
vertcnce or other cause, register when
the books We're open in that year, he was
not only prevented from voting at the
general election in November, 1852, but
was and has been prevented-under the
law-from voting ut all elections held in
the state subsequent to said election in
1889. This seems almost incredible, yet l
think it is correct. The statement is ap-
palling, the outrage stupendous, the re-
suit close to the borderland that divides
outrage and crime. It is not necessary to
discuss 1t further-likely the least said
about it the better"

STORMING THE LONE STAR,
Confederate Veterans Hold Their
 Reunion at Houston,
100000 VISITORS EXPECTED
The Militia of the State and Federal Troops Will Also Camp There-0ecora-
 tonS- Committees

The ex-Confederates meet in annual re- union at Houston next week, and all Texas will honor the veterans who are to crowd the streets of the busy Lone Star State metropolis Never in the history of the south have the prepara- tions for a great Confederate reunion been mapped out on so magnificent a scale. The new and the old south will be there, the young and the aged, it's beauty and it's chivalry. for Houston will have in it's midst the greatest gathering of southern men and women brought together in recent years.
 Judging by the attendance at I}ir- mingham, the committee sent there by the people of Houston made the esti- mate that at least 10000 visitors might be expected. The executive committee got to work, and months ago this esti mate was raised, and soon again raised, until now it is confidently expected that from 75,000 to 100000 people will visit Houston during the five days from May 20 to 24 inclusive.
 The organization which meets here is known officially as the United Confed- crate Veterans, organized June 10, 1889, in New Orleans. It's constitution says that it will endeavor to unite in a gen eral federation all associations of Con federate Veterans, soldiers, and sailors now in existence or hereafter to be formed; to gather authentic data for an impartial history of the war be- tween the states; to preserve relies or mementoes of the same; to cherish the ties of friendship that should exist

 The Pretty Sponsors of the Camp.
 Then, as in Birmingham, the prettiest daughters of the south will act as spon- sors at the various state department camp dedications; the daughters of Texas will be the hosts for the men and women from all over the union, and they have ar ranged for receptions and balls on every evening during the continuance of the en- campment.
 The tents in which the men who wore the gray will bivOuac are pitched in one of the most picturesque spots about Houston, it's famous driving park. Near the center of the park is an artesian well with a daily capacity of 16S000 gallons. A grand stand large enough to accommo- date 1000 or S000 people overlooks forty acre plat of as pretty landscape as waa ever encircled by a. mile race course. The northern and eastern parts of the grounds are studded with clumps of um- brageous trees, and about these are the

 The special trains from all sections of the south are expected to reach here May 20 and May 21. Each of these will bring in fully a thousand delegates, vet erans and guests. The Alabama train will contain some famous men, including division commander Gen. F. S. Ferguson, o. T. Dozier. the Alabama poet, and George DeWhiting, the only survivor of the Alabama. The special Tennessee train starts from Nashville, and Gov ernor Turney is expected to be among the visitors. Governor O'Ferrall and Fitz- hugh Lee head the delegation which is to come from Virginia. The Atlanta veterans will bring the commander, Gen eral Gordon, on their special train.

the city, and not single business house, is without it's mass of flags and bunting. Floral decorations look resplendent in all the squares, and Houston is truly in gala attire.
 The ladies of Houston are largely re- sponsible for this fine showing. and they have had much else to do in addition to the work of decorating. The reception committee has for it's chairman, Mrs. William M Rice; the press banquet com- mittee is presided over by Mrs T. w. House; the military banquet committee by Mrs. John T. Dickson.
 The month of May is to be notable for other Confederate memorial events. In the first place North Carolina dedicates it's Confederate monument on May 20, and the unveiling is to be by the tiny hands of little Julia Jackson Christian, granddaughter of Stonewall Jackson and daughter of William E. Christian of Raleigh.
 On May 30 the great Confederate mon ument in Chicago will be unveiled, and many of those in attendance at Houston will leave by special train as soon as the encampment closes.
