THE SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN.

Tho Senatorial campaign last week
after tho Sumter meeting was uncvcnt-
ful and devoid Of personalities, rxrcp,
the attacks on tho newspapers.
Mr.. Gary Evans has o.tcrcd and
made several speeches, and SO has Mr.
Maytield. Mr.. Evans opposes Mr., Me-
Laurin's tariff views, while Mr. May
fold does tho same and takes up the
rest OF his speech with State matters,
discussing the dispcnsary and other
local issues.
MIR. Mayilcld is correct on the dis.
pensary, but he was one of tho original
advocates Of the present dispcnsary,
and II our Information IL correct. op.
posed when the dispcnsary was first
fastened upon the State the very idea
that ho Is now advocating.
Tho dispcnsary rs ut present man.
aged and operated il doomed. and It's
former friends will be the first to de-
sort the sinking ship and cndcavor to
get on the band wagon. But tho posi-
tion now taken by Mr.. Mayiirld is the
one In many respects advocated by The
Herald and News for IA long time. 1t
must tc taken from StatcScontrol, though
there arc many features OF the law
that should and must be retained in the
control OF the whiskcy business.
Mr.. lrby objects to the syndicate
adopted by the daily papers, and he
charges that the reports arc colorcd in
tho interest of Mr.. MrlMurin. The
plan adopted by the papers we think is
good one. They send out short re-
ports Of each meeting, giving the same
report to all the papers. This. Of
course, does not give very long synop.
sos Of the speeches, but i, gives as
much AS anybody wants or cares to
read. AS to the charge OF PARTISAN
ship IN the reports in favor uf any can
didate, We know this is utterly withou,
foundation, for Mr.. Kohn. who is now
reporting the meetings, is as free from
bias aS any man can possibly ht.

AS To CLEMSON

We publish today the fall report of
the committee OF the State board of
health appointed by Gov. Ellcrbc to
visit Clemson Collcgo and enquire into
the cause OF tho sickness among the
students. 1t was given out ut first that
the sickness was only maluriul fever,
and was not at all serious, but when
two or three deaths occurred and scv-
enty or eighty boys were down sick
tho facts got ont that it was very So
rious affair.
The Gommtttce find that the ordinary
sanitary arrangements and precautions
have been neglected. This Is entirely
nncxGusablc. We also publish the
statement Of the trustees, and they do
not agree with the committee. But
the fact Of the sickness remains. The
board says every effort will be made to
remove tho causes OF disease and i'm
prove tho sanitary conditions.
Tho supply OF money at the disposal
OF tho trustees has been almost on
haustless, and all these things should
have been taken into consideration at
the very beginning. This will be a
backset to the institution, and it has
had enough trouble already to be re.
licved OF this.
Frof. Newman has been recalled and
possibly with his good common sense il
permitted by the board he may bc able
to look after the drainage and clcanli.
ness OF the place. Just at the foot OF
tho mountains, this should hc y mos,
healthy location.
The State has pnt too much money
IN the property at Clemson for the
college to 60 down, and it will not yc
down, but the board Of trustees should
put men in charge who will look aftc,
the adoption and enforcement OF IN,
ordinary rules Of sanitation.

THE NEWBERRY HERA LID AND NEWS, JULY I3 1897

ion reached in this line OF cases Is this:
The State In tho exercise of police
powor can declare that tho use OF In
toxicatiOg liquors, cf all kinds, as q
beverage is noxious, and Injurious to
the health, welfare and safety Of the
people, aud having 80 declared, eau
forbid tho manufacture, importation
and salc OF such liquors within her
borders. That such prohibition takes
Intoxicating liquors out OF the cnt' CORY
OF arttclec of commerce, and is not in
conflict with tho Interstate commerce
law. But TINT so long rs the State re-
cognizcs tho use of Intoxicating liquors
rs Il beverage and beverages such use
10y purchasing thcm in lurge quanti-
TICS and selling them for such use TO
tho Inhabitants within her borders ac-
companying such purchase and sale,
with n prohibition to others from doing
tho like, this prohibition is not n law
ful exercise OF police power.
On tho contrary, it Is an attempt I'M
dor tho guiso Of the police power to
its and cmolumcnts of tho liquor traf-
tc heretofore enjoyed by individual cit.
liens aud SO increase her revenue. And
for greater certainty in this behalf a
monopoly in this traffic is created in
tho State. That the State cannot on
gage In this business for this purpose,
in contravcntion Of the rights of citt-
zcns Of tho other States.
This being so, and the right to i'm
port and sell IN original packages be-
Ing established, it necessarily follows
that there must exist a right to have
II place for the receipt and exposure
for sale OF the original package so i'm
ported. The use Is tho inevitable con-.
sequence Of the other.
But when this has been accomplished
the protection of the interstate com
mcrcc law ceases. This law protects
the original package in its importation
and lin its sale. The hours within
which the sale can be made, the per-
son to whom it can be made, the GUAM
tity at one time to be sold and the dis
position after sale are within the po-
lice power Of tho State.
The provisions OF the Dispcnsary
acts, except in SO far a. they conflict
with the interstate commerce law, are
absolutely binding ona!l persons within
the State, 80 when once II sale has been
made OF IN original package, and it's
delivery within the State, it cannot
again be sold by its recipient or any
one else without violation of law. No
sale can be made of liquors, wines or
beer Of orig inal packages anywhere
except between the hours by law ap-
pointed, & o'clock in the morning and
q o'clock in tho afternoon. Nc sales
can be made in such packages of H.
quors, wines or beer, to bc drank on
the premises. None in quantities less
than half pint and none on Sun
day, and none to minors or habituul
drunkards.
These police provisions are irrevo,
cably fixed in the public policy and po,
lice law Of the State, and must be ob
served by all persons, citizens or stran.
| gers, doing business within the boun,
| darics of the State.
With these notifications and restric
tions, let an injunction'issue rs prayed

Alone in London.

An American clergyman whose

crossed the ocean at last for a ten
weeks vacation. For a fortnight he
enjoyed going about alone from place
to place, seeing the sights, but he soon
became lonely, and then homesick. One
Saturday morning he started out on
long walk, having no plan for the
mornings recreation. He penetrated
far into the wide reaches Of the East
End. There We're crowds of men,
women and children wherever he went,
but not a face that he had ever seen
before or would ever see again.

The lonely minister, who had found
his vacation in the awful solitude Of
London unutterably depressing, did not
have an answer ready. But his heart
went out to the homeless little waif.
He took the child out Of the empty
house, obtained decent clothes for him
at a charitable Institution, paid board
for him at a lodging house. and finally
carried him to America At the end Of
the vacation.
