An Important Opinion.

Acting Attorney General Y Youmans
has handed down, at the request of
the Governor, an important opinion
concerning the transportation of
whiskey through this State. 1t
seems that distillery has been loca-
ted in North Carolina, near the Spar
tanburg line, and that the nearest
station is Landrum, in this State.
The distiller has been sending the
whiskey to that point for shipment to
other States and the stuff was seized.
General Youmans holds that this ia
unconstitutional, as the whiskey is
tranporsted from North Carolina into
this State and then shipped elsewhere;
and, although railroad is not used
in the first case, it is interstate COM
merce and not liable to the laws of
this State,

j
was member of the South Caro-
lima delegation to -the National
Democratic Convention at Chicago
For ten years following his with.
drawal from the General Assembly
he devoted himself to the practice
OF law. During this time he was
only once candidate for office.
This was in the famous Congressional
convention in which George D.. Till
man was nominated after hundreds
of ballots had been cast.
The convention lasted for more
than three weeks. From the begin
ming to the end of this memorable
contest Aiken county solidly sup
ported her favorite son.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
In 1895 the Reform and Conserva-
tive factions divided the Democratic
party in South Carolina. The party
leaders determined to make an effort
to heal the breach existing in the
party ranks. Henderson was sent
to the Constitutional Convention.
He was supported by both divisions
of the party as leader having at
heart the interests of the whole
State. In this memorable body
Henderson took front rank as a leg
islator and statesman. AS chairman
of the Committee on Municipal Cor
porations and Police Regulations he
aided in framing the sections of the
State Constitution relating to the
liquor question, and having in view
the elimination of barrooms, and the
management of cities and towns. He
assumed a prominent part in the
argument of public affairs, especially
in the debates upon suffrage and
education. The convention was
composed of the representative pub
lie men of South Carolina. The
Senator from Aiken county was
easily one of the readiest and most
logical debaters in the whole assem-
bly,.
AS STATE SENATOR IN RECENT
YEARS.
In 1896 and again in 1900 Hen
derson was returned to the State
Senate with overwhelming MAORI
ties. During these sessions he has
served with distinction in the upper
branch of the Legislature. He has
been instrumental in securing the
enactment of legislation of lasting
Importance. The reformation of
the county government law; the
equalization of the taxes of the
cotton mills and fertilizer factories !;
all this has been largely the result
of the untiring diligence and public
works of the Senator from Aiken.
The latter act alone, relating to
the cotton mills and fertilizer plants,
of which act he was the author
has put upon the tax books of the
State fully $2,o0O,OOO of taxable
property. He was strong advo-
cate of the separate coach bill.
AT the latest session of the Gen
eral Assembly Senator Henderson
vigorously supported the Antitrust
Law, one of the most important
enactments at this session. In his
entire public career he has been the
champion of popular education,
realizing in what large degree the
future welfare of the State is
dependent upon the proper main
tenance of our colleges and public
schools. His leadership in this
cause is attested by his position as
Chairman of the Committee on
Education in the State Senate, and
as a trustee of Winthrop and the
South Carolina Colleges.

held in Aiken Mr.. Henderson an
nounced his intention to resign as
State Senator, in order to enter
free-handed the contest for the
United States Senate in the coming
primary.
Dan Henderson is one of the
most practical of thinkers, the
most kind-hearted of men, the
shrewdest of politicians land, in
our opinion, the best trial lawyer in
South Carolina.
The systematic business methods
OF his law Office are the envy of his
fellow members of the bar. From
the humblest beginning he has arisen
to position of distinction. Success
has not elated, and defeat--rare in
his career--has not cast him down.
He is pre-eminently self-made
man. The cleanness of his publics
and private life stamps him as
man of uudoubted integrity and
lofty purpose. He has about him
the elements of success.
The times are tired of corruption,
OF fawning, of political pot-hnnters,
OF breach of faith and base deser-
tion of principle.
South Carolina needs as her rep
resentative in the highest council
hall ofsthe Nation, a statesman of
integrity, of character, of high pur-
pose, of honor, of public usefulness.
Such man is "Dan" Henderson
known and proved of his friends.
