The wholesale eating Of uDcooked rice,
which is supposed to insure good COM

fashionable women. These unfortunate

bear In mind the fact that the result Of
eating raw rice is an ap@mic condition,
and that the ghastly whiteness OF person
suffering from anemia Is far from being

THE COURT STILL DIVIDED.
McIver and Gary VS.. Pope and Jones
in the Oconee Dispensary Case.

The Supreme Court recently decided
another important and record breaking
case. Christian, of Oconee, was con-
victed of keeping liquor on his premi-
ses for his own use, which did not bear
the stamp of the commissioner and was
not bought from the dispensary.
The court was divided, Justices Pope
and Jones deciding with the circuit
Judge, from whose rulings the appeal
was taken and chief justice and Justice
Gary held that Judge Townsend was
wrong and voted against him.
Under the rules the opinion of the
lower court holds when the Supreme
Court is divided.
Chief Justice McIver stated the case.
The defendant was found guilty and
sentenced to pay fine Of 800 or go on
the chain gang for three months, for
having in his possession two and one
half gallons of corn whiskey which had
no State tamp on it.
On this judgment an appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court of the
State.
He concludes by saying "inasmuoh
as this opinion was originally prepared
before the recent dseisions Of the Su
preme Court of the United States in
Donald vs. Scott, 185 7 s 68 was an

that it seems to be absolutely neces-

have reached in order to avoid con
tlict with the decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, which it
must be conceded is final arbiter
of all questions involving a construc
tion of the constitution Of the United
States"
Justice Gary concludes by saying: "a
construction contrary to that which we
place upon the act would even make a
man violator of the law who took a
drink of whiskoy unless it came from
the dispensary."
Justices Pope and Jones hold that
the question is one of construction
merely.
at is simply our duty to declare the
law, We have nothing to do with its
wisdom or it's severity"
They hold there was no error in

BILL ARP'S WEEKLY LETTER.
RANDOM REMARKS ON THE DING.
LEY TARIFF BILL.
"MUDSILL HAMMOND" IS QUOTED.
It Was He Who First said "Cotton n
King''-winiam Sees . Proph-
ecy Being Fulnlled.

In my last letter said that L did
not know who first said cotton is
king" This admission Of my igno-
rance seems to have surprised and
awakened some of my Carolina friends
and now know from many sources
that Ex-Governor Hammond said it in
a speech in the United States senate in
1868, during the debate on the admis-
sion of Kansas. It was great speech,
for he was great man. It was O
states right speech such as Calhoun
might have made, and in it he said:
"No, cir, you dare not make war on
cotton-cotton is king. Until lately
the bank of England was king, but last
fall she tried to put the screws upon
our cotton crop and was utterly van
quished-cotton is king" That speech
gave much offense at the north and
won for him the title of "Mudsill
Hammond" for in it he said: 'In all
social systems there must be class to
do the drudgery of life-a class re-
quiring but low order of intellect
and but little skill. This class must
have vigor, docility and fidelity. Such

which leads progress, refinement and
civilization. This inferior class con-
stitutes the very mudsills of society
and of government, and you might as

has race adapted to that purpose.
We call them slaves-a word discard
ed by ears polite-but you have q sim
liar class at the north. Yes, you have
tit is there, it is everywhere, it is
eternal"
remember how the northern press
scarified him for his mudsill speech,
but he spoke the truth and it is still
the truth, and more so for the mudsills
are more numerous now in proportion
to population. Almost everybody in
this region is mudsill, and if that
Dingley tariff bill becomes a law the
masses will all be mudsills for the
privileged and protected classes. The
common people of nation can never
prosper under protective tariff until
ma y can lift himself up by the straps
on his boots. Only the protected will
prosper and they are but small class
compared with the unprotected. Even

At St Augustine, Fla, w. J. Bryan
addressed fully 5000 persons from the
plaza of San Marco Hotel His theme
was good government and the money
qnestion, the free coinage of silver be-
ing advocated as strongly MS ever. At
the close of his speech, hundreds of
people fiocked around him and so great
was the strain that one section of the
piazza 40 feet square fell through, pre-
cipitating 400 people to the ground be-
low, a distance of 20 feet. No one was
seriously hurt, but score OF ladies and
gentlemen received bruises and sprnins.

A MOST DISASTROUS FRt.
Property Consumed in Knoxville to
Value Of $l,200,OOO.
AN EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE.
The Longest and Handsomet Block
of Houses In tho City Destroyed
:. Several Persons Badly Injured.

At Knoxville, Tenn, Thursday the
most disastrous fire ever experienced in
that city occurred The entire block
between Union and Reservoir streets,
on Gay street, with the exception of the
McGhee building, on the one end, the
largest and handsomest block in the
city, is mass of ruins, and the loss is
estimated at nearly q million dollars.
Several people were slightly injured,
the most serious being Joe McMillin,
who had leg broken.
The fire was discovered about 4
O'Clock in the wholesale grocery store
of the McNulty Grocery Company by a
porter of the Knox Hotel, which ad-
joins the grocery.
A general alarm was turned in and
all the local fire companies were soon
on the scene. The efforts proved futile,
however, and the flames spread
rapidly.
Among tho heaviest losers are:
Daniel Briscoe & Co., wholesale dry
goods; Sterchi Brothers, wholesale and
retail furniture; Marble City Hat Com.
pany, Wholesale hats; A. p. Laher Dry
Goods Company; Haines & Co, whole
sale shoes: s. B. Newman & Company.
printers; Cullen, Newman & Company,
printers; w. w. Woodruff & Company,
wholesale hardware; Henneger, Doyle
4 Company, Wholesale hats and shoes
Sanford, Chamberlain q Albers, whole.
sale drugs; Knox Hotel and the Nc
Nulty Grocery Company.
Many smaller establishments, among
them three livery stables in rear of the
burned block, were destroyed.
~ Df
ruff's hardware store shattered every
window in Gay street
A portion Of the Chattanooga fire
department was sent for, and on arrival
rendered valuable assistance.
Among those injured in the fire were
w. IL. keppart, formerly city editor Of
Journal. After assisting five men to
escape he jumped from the third story
of the Knox hotel to the roof of the adj
joining building. He is badly but not
fatally hurt.
Joe McMillen, travelling man; Jump
ed from second story, leg broken.
James Hogan, barkeeper Knox hotel,
jumped from third story to roof adjoin-
ing building; both legs badly sprained.
John Boyle, Morgan county, rescued
from third story of Knox hotel, proba-
bly, fatally burned.
J. NJ. Loop, Salisbury, N. c., jump
ed, seriously injured
G. l.. Hudson, clerk in Knox Hotel,
jumped, ankle broken.
John Mcdaniel, jumped, badly in
jured.
it IS believed that the total loss will!
amount to about 81, 900, 600. The in.
surance will be about one-half.
The latest from Knoxville says:
"Of the SO guests who were
asleep in the Hotel Knox, when
the fire broke out, only 80 have
been accounted for. The register was
destroyed and it will perhaps never be
known how many lives perished.
Charred remains have been found in
different localities Of the ruins.
An almost correct estimate of the
losses and insurance has been secured
1t is as follows: Total loss, 81, ,811 200;
total insurance, SGI4, 209. TO- Many Of
the firms burned out have secured
temporary quarters and the wholesale
houses especially have never stopped
filling orders.
