Obituary.

On Friday, the 2lst inst, about 10
o'clock, q. No., b infant daughter of Mr..
Morgan Jones, Of Hollands Store, passed
away, and, while preparations were being
made for the burial, the angel Of death
was Tapping his dusky wings over an
other home, and the gentle spirit of little
Sammie Clayton, infant son of Mr.. Joe
Smith, Of Starr, took it's flight for the
eternal world. In the short space Of a
few hours two homes were shrouded
with the pail of death, two fathers be-
reaved and two mothers made to stand
with empty arms and streaming eyes
over their faded blossoms. On the fol-
lowing day the two little white caskets
were carried to Cross Roads Church and
placed side by side, while the writer con-
Quoted the funeral service. Then loving
hands consigned the little sleepers to the
dust to await the resurrection.
'Unveil thy bosom faithful tomb,
Take these new treasures to thy trust,
And give the sacred relics room
To slumber in the silent DUST
These little ones have gone to live with
Jesus, and are now free from the things
that vex and tear the hearts of those who
have to pass through this vale Of tears.
To the bereaved parents we extend our
tenderest sympathies, and trust that in
this hour Of sorrcw they may have that
strength and comfort which human
hearts cannot give, and that this affliction,
as crushing as it is, may contribute to
their eternal good. w. T. DUNCAN.

is considered opportune, as ho is familiar

but none of them have positively an
nounced their candidacy except Gov

be in the race unless he changes his

The riot which occurred last Friday af-
ternoon on the campus Of the South Caro-
lima College, a full account of which sp-
pears in another column, was uniortu-
nate and disgraceful. Tho principal wit
nessas have all made their respective
statements with the exception of Gen.
Watts. Many, representing all classes of
people and all shades of political faith,
witnessed the whole affair, and their
statements tx the responsibility on Gen.
Watts. The people Of the State demand
that The blame be definitely fixed. The
State has certainly been disgraced and
many Of Il people believe That the State
militia has been disgraced by its officers.
Life has been endangered and serious
personal injuries have been inflicted.
The prominence Of the participants makes
the affair the more serious and the de-
mand for Il full investigation the more
urgent. The burden of justifying him
self before the people for giving the COM
mand for the battalion TO move forward
upon the students rests upon Gen. Watts,
and we fear the burden is very heavy.
No blame can attach 10 the men under
command. They obeyed orders, and are
to be congratulated for their discretion
and admirable conduct. Gen. Watts
should be allowed to make his statement
and 1t should be received without preju-
dice, but the tone of the press throughout
ths State and the expressions of citizens
with whom we have talked, indicate that
nothing short of a thorough investigation
eth r by a court-martial or by a court Of
inquiry will be satisfactory. The highest
military officials Of our State should be
men with cool heads and undoubted cour
age

The future greatness of this section de-
ponds upon the progress that we make as
q manufacturing people. Our lands pro-
duce more than we can consume, and it
becomes necessary for us to createa home
market tor the surplus. This can only
be done by the erection Of factories and
mills and in that way increase the popu-
lation of consumers, and at the same
time start . steady stream of money flow
ing toward the South. What money we
have is scattered, and it is necessary for
us to get it together. This can be accom-
plished by erecting mills on the cooper
alive plan. This plan is working we'll in
other sections and it will work we'll in
this section. There is no county in the
State that has more natural advantages
than Anderson county. Let us get down
to thinking, talking and acting. We
need mills and factories, and now is the
time for us to make a move in the right
direction. The farmers of the county are
anxious to see more industries started in
the county, and many of them have mon
ey that they are willing to invest in any
kind Of an enterprise hat will bring men
and money into our midst. All they
want is for some good man, in whom
they can place confidence, to make a start
aud they will rally up like trne men and
patriots.

The following is clipped from the At
lanta Constitution re ;rday: Already
Governor Eie'' & uas issued instructions
to ali the c"u:ta3ies to cease all seizures
and ordered the chief constables to report
here to. morrow for council with him. In
lieu of the constabulary, the several cities
of the State will be notified that they will
be expected to instruct their police for
ces to look out for all sales of liquor in
other than original packages. 1t is in
timated, not by the Governor, that in
case this is not done the metropolitan
police law will be applied to tho city
that fails to do SO.

The Dispensary Law Knocked out.

On Monday last Judge Simonton. of
the United States Circuit Court, rendered
q decision in the case Of the Vandercock
Company against s. W. Vance, w. N.
Bahr and others which, if sustained by
the Supreme Court Of the United States,
practically renders the Dispensary law
OF no effect. This decision created very
little sensation here as it was not unex-
pected. The decision is based upon the in
t'r-State and foreign commerce law. In
the syllabus, Judge Simonton says:
ANY State may, in the exercise of the
police power. declareth that the manufacture,
sale. barter and exchange or the use as q
beverage of alcoholic liquors are public
evils, and having thus declared, can for
bid such manufacture, sale, barter and
exchange or use within her territory.
But when a State recognizes and ap-
proves the manufacture, sale, barter and
exchange and the use as q beverage OF al
coholic liquors, and the State itself en-
courages the manufacture, engages in the
sale and provides for tho consumption of
all alcoholic liquors as a beverage, and so
precludes the idea that such manufacture,
Sale, barter,' exchange or use, are %iDjuri-
Gus to the public welfare, it is not q law
full exercise of the police power to forbid
the importation Of such liquors or their
sale III original packages for personal use
and consumption. Such prohibition, un
der such circumstances, is in conflict with
the laws of the Interstate and foreign
commerce. The dispensary Act of 1896,
as amended by the Act of 1887, inasmuch
as they approve the purchase and manu-
facture OF alcoholic liquors Of the State
and provided for the sale o fsuch alcoholic
liquors as a beverage, in aid Of the finan-
ces of the State, in SO far as they forbid
the importation Of alcoholic liquors in
original packages for such use in this
State, are in conflict with the laws of in
ter Stale and foreign commerce, and are,
therefore, to that extent void"
Under this decision liquor can be sold
in original packages, which are generally
interpreted to be any package, however
small, which enters the State properly
sealed beyond the State. An appeal will
doubtless be taken, but judging from the
record Judge Simonton bears, he will be
sustained. The law. as decided in this
case, will be the law of the land until re-
versed by the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States.
The decision closes with an ordsr for a
temporary Injunction against the States
interference with importation of alcoholic
liquors, and from this it would sppear
that the traffic is free to all until the Leg
i~slaiure either enaots prohibition or fixes
q license for the sale of intoxicants.

b appointment, last Wednesday, of
Congressman McLaurin to be United
States Senator for the interim until the
Legislature, which meets in January,
elects the successor CT Gen. Earle, meets
the almost universal approval of u peo-
pie. In fact, we have heard no words of
dis abstraction or disappointment. The
reputation he made in Congress made
him the logical successor. and the public
was prepared to hear of his appointment.
Before and since the appointment there
has been much talk about the calling OF
primary election, and it is now thought
that the calling ola primary is beyond
question. On Thursday last Mr.. McLau-
rim handed to the Governor his letter of
acceptance of the position. 1t is a manly
letter aud very much to the point. AS
was expected, he urges the State Execu-
tive Committee to call a primary election
for the purpose of naming a man to be
elected for the full une pired term.
Among other things he uses these words:
II desire, however, to say that I believe
that United States Senators should be
elected by a vote of the people, and as the
Constitution debars US that privilege, I
sincerely trust thai the Democratic Exec
utive Committe will, at its convenience,
order n primary, and give every Demo-
Graf the chance of having q voice in the
selection of one to fill this, the highest Of
fee in the gift OF the people. If I ain not
selected, 1 will humbly acquiescence in
the wishes Of a majority of my fellow
citizens. III am selected, 1 will have the
proud consciousness of knowing that I
am in fact, truly the representative of the
p%eople-the whole people of the State of
South Carolina" Inasmuch as Congress
is 10 session, Nj. McLaurin proceeded at
once to Washington and upon entering
the House Monday morning he received
an ovation. Added to the hearty con =
