Ihe Dispensdry DO,cncd.

The Vandercock liquor case
has been decided by Judge
Simontan against the State and
Dispensary.The opinion was given
out Monday morning, and the
first heard of it in Lancaster was
through a telegram from Marshal
j. L. Hunter. The decision de-
clares the dispensary law uncon-
stitutional. The concluding para
graphs of the opinion are as fol-
lows:
1t Is manifested therefore that
the same conclusion must be
reached with regard to the dis
pensary act of 1897, which was
reached by the supreme court of
the United States. as to the act
OF 1895. that it is not within the
scope and operation of the Will.
son act. This being the case, the
law laid down in Leisy VS.. Hardin
controls this case and the attempt
to forbid the Importation and
sale of spirltuous liquors in origi-
nal packages must fail.
The decision of the supreme
court of the United States must
control all circuit courts. BY this
decision it is clear that so long as
the State herself engages in the
business of importing and selling
alcoholic liquors for the purposes
of profit. SO long as she recog-
nizes that the use of alcoholic
liquors as beverage is lawful
and can be encouraged. SO long
as she seeks monopoly in sup
plying these lIqours for that use,
and in this way looks to an in
crease in her revenue, she cannot
under her constitutional obliga-
tions to the other States of this
Union, forbid. control, hinder
and burden commerce in such
articles between their citizens
and her own.

"JuniuS" Visits Rock Hill.

| went up to Rock Hill Sunday
to hear the one and only Sam
Jones preach. There was an enor-
nous crowd there. The sermon
in the forenoon was a regular
Jonesesque one. Was full of wit
and humoi-people were kept
laughing nearly all the time-not
like a regular sermon at all. In
the afternoon Jones' co worker.
George Stuart, preached n sermon
on the liquor traffic that can be
described with only one word
powerful. | have heard sermons
called grand, have heard them
called fine, have heard them called
excellent, and so on, but, as I've
said, powerful is the only word
can think OF TO describe that ser.
mon. At night Jones preached
again the winding up sermon. 1t
was in Il different vein from his
sermon in the morning.
\ right severe earthquake shock
was felt at Rock Hill Monday at
four minutes till two. | notice in
to-day,s papers that it was felt all
over the State, and indeed IN
many States.
And Judge Simonton, as stated
in to-day's papers has decided
against the State in the Wander
cock case. | don't suppose many
people were surprised. They
know Simonton, and are sur
priSed at nothing he does. WhiS-
key men and ultra Prohibitionists
hope that this decision seals the
fate of the Dispensary law, and
maybe it does. but | refuse to be
lieve it. | believe there is some
way to get round that decision {:
and if there is Governor Ellerbe
should call an extra session OF the
Legislature and let law be pass
ed to get around it. The fight
for right should not be given up
as long as there is a possible
chance for right TO triumph. If
we can't have the Dispensary
lets have Prohibition and let
every true man resolve to help
carry il out no matter what il
costs him.

AULANDER NEWS NOTES.

Aulander n. c., September 7.-(Spe-
ciaD-Pastor Rev. l.. M. Curtis, of Au-
lander Baptist church, held a revival at
Pleasant Grove last week, resulting in
the baptism of forty-three converts,
among whom were some old citizens Of
mature years.
Rev. Edward s. Reaves, who so eff
GENTLY and so pleasantly affiliated as
principal of Aulander schools three years
ago, returned for short stay among his
friends, recently and last night preached
one of the ablest sermons that an Au-
lander audience ever had the pleasure of
hearing.
Auander Classical and Commercial In

Hickory, N. c., September 7.-(Spe-
ciaD-On Sunday morning this town was
the scene of brutal and outrageous
crime. A little negro girl, named Annie
Bost, aged about twelve years, was raped
by an unknown negro man. She was
playing in the woods near East Hickory
when the wretch crept up behind her. He
seized her and twisted her bonnet strings
around her throat so tightly that she
lchoked and could not scream. He drag
ged her further into the woods about
hundred yards and there accomplished
his fiendish purpose. AS soon as she was
free, she ran at once to the nearest house
and inquired for her mother. Subsequent
ly her mother, Easter Bost, a respectable
colored woman of the place, came to the
spot and the child stated the foregoing
facts. Several colored men pursued the
criminal for ten miles, but near Conover
the trail was lost.
The girls family failed to complain to
the authorities, and hence the outrage
was not generally known until today.
An ex-penitentiary convict named Del
Finger, is suspected. Every effort is be-
ing made to capture him.
George Dixon, the negro accused of
breaking into III. l.. Moore's residence on
Friday night, had preliminary hearing
today before S. e. Killian. J. p. Cilley
and Hufham represented the State: The
prisoner had no counsel. The prisoner
made a full confession. He said that he
entered the house by the screen door of
the dining room; that he went for some
thing to eat. He also claimed to have
been drunk. When discovered he was
at the foot of Mrs. Moore's bed, search
ing the pockets of her husbands cloth
