CONVICTION OF EMlGRANT ACT.
The First Trial Under the License
Law

Bennettsville, Special.-Perhaps the
first trial in our State of one indicted
FOR carrying on the business of an i'm
migrant agent without having first oJ-
tained license therefor was had in
our court Thursday.
Mr.. j. w. Napier of Georgia was the
defendant and the jury after being out
only short while returned "A verdict
of guilty. The sentence of the court
was that he pay a fine OF $500 Or be
imprisoned for six months. The
question of the constitutionality nf
the act was raised by the attorneys for
the defense and long and able argu-
ments were made on both sides. Judge
Klugh in his charge to the Jury and
in deciding this point dwelt at length
on each section of the constitution
said to be violated by the statute. and
held that the act did not violate either
the State or Federal constitution. but
was proper exercise of the police
power of the State and that the sum
of $500 charged for such lCen. was
not excessive. His charge was able
@nd clearly expressed and altogether
strong vindicatiOn of the business
and constitutionality of this act OF the
legislature 1t is likely the case will
be appealed to the supreme cc.rt.

parties and build upon the ruins thr
foundation Of new party.
The plan of pledging 100000 voters
who signed an agreement to support nc
candidate who would not stand firmly
on the prohibition issue, originated with
