sIMoNToN SUSTAINED.
A Part of the Dispensary Law is
Unconstitutional.

The United States Supreme
Court has sustained Judge Simon
TONS decision, that a part or the
South Carolina dispensary law is
unconstitutional.
The part of the law thus settled
is the clause which relates to the
importation of liquors for private
use.
The lawyers interested in the
case think this is serious blow
tothe law, and that it may result
in breaking it down.
1t will be remembered that
shortly after the dispensary law
went into effect, July, 1892. James
Donald, of Georgetown, suffered
loss by the seizure of a barrel of
beer which had been ordered out
side the State. Mr.. Bryan, re-
presenting Donald, carried the
case into the United States
Circuit Court, and after arguments
Oh both sides, Judge Simonton
decided that the citizens of the
United States had the right to
order liquor for personal use, and
that seizures to the contrary
would be a clear violation Of the
interstate commerce laws.
The State appealed from this
decision, and the case went to the
Circuit Court of Appeals, where
the State received another set,
back. Still another appeal was
taken, this time to Supreme Cour;
of the United States. with the re.
sult above stated.

CAD sir, I want t, say to you,
sir that I know all about the
liquor business. sir. And I don't
drink, sir, and I never dealt in the
stuff, sir, except for the state of
South Carolina, SIR"
So said Senator Ben Tillman a
few days ago. 1t is true that the
senator does not drink-at least
not publicly-though everybody
who meets him and gazes on his
fiery red face and listens to his
picturesque oaths feels sure he is
a drinking man. He came
near throwing party of
Chicago politicians into tits the
Sunday before election. They
took him around to a "blind tiger"
which was running on Sunday.
They lined up in front of the bar,
it was ga little whiskey, please"
all along tho line, until the bar
keeper reached the senator.
"Alittle apollinaris said the
noted South Carolinian. 81 never
take anything stronger, sir"
Senator Tillman says he got the
dispensary idea from a town just
across the Georgia line from his
home. After he had got the legis.
lature of his state to pass the dis
pensary bill he signed 1T and took
a trip of investigation.
