\ STRAINED COMPARISON.

Charleston will never submit to COM
plying with the present provisions of the
dispensary law, because it is not suited
to its mixed population, but we believe
if the Legislature could give that city
license system with dispensary regula-
tions, not as those regulations are now,
but somewhat modified, the law would
be enforced. We do not think ita wise
policy to have law on the statute books
which the people Of community DO not
want, and which they believe IS damag-
ING to their interest -'-MANNISG
TINES. The above idea is capable OF
being still further extended. There IS
class of people in this State who do
not seem to submit to the present law
against appropriating another,s gooos;;
< Why not have the Legislature amend
the law for their benefit so that they,
may help themselves at the store ana

never submit to the present law against

fetched, sappropriating of an

forbidden by both, the divine
and statute laws; morals as we'll
as well as public policy makes
stealing a crime and punishable,
but when the State assumes to
take from the citizen a traffic
and monopolizes the profits
therefrom, the State is on record
as favoring the traffic in liquor,
and therefore cannot set up the
claim of virtue. Public policy
is it's only claim, and we contend
that if the dispensargasSem is
a failure in a colganity, it is in
the interest t<sPu bic policy to

Charleston's population is diff
ferent from any other IN the
State; it is a seaport town where
comes the nations of the world,
bringing with them their native
customs and habits, and when it
has been thoroughly demonstrat.
ed that the present dispensary
system cannot work successful
", in our opinion there should
be a means devised to give that
community law suited to their
conditions.
All Of this stuff about a law
that is good enough for Aiken is
good enough for Charleston, is
pure rot. The dispensary has
injured Charleston IN many
ways; take the tourists alone
wherefrom that city received
much benefit, and it will be
found the income from that
source alone has fallen off as
toundingly. 1t is the pecuniary
injury done Charleston which
keeps up the opposition to the
law, and it would be the same IN
Aiken if similar conditions ex-
listed.
We favor the dispensary law
in communities where such a
law is suited to the people, and
in this county it is the best IL
quor regulation we have ever
had and we would oppose any
interference with it, notwith-
standing our favoring the law,
here, we would oppose it in a
community where it has been
demonstrated to be injurious to
the business interests, and where
the moral interests have enot been
enhanced.

HANNA PLEADS
 FOR HARMONY
(contlnued from First Paee)

that 1t wanted to get more and more out of the great production of the wealth of the world to which the working men are contributors.
 MT. Gompers took exception to the coupling of the term boycott and blud- geon," as weapons of labor which were mentioned by speaker yesterday.
 Tt may sound" he said Every nicely as an alliteration, but as a matter of fact 1t does not exist. I won't pretend to say that there has not ever been union man who has raised his hand against an other. or against a non-union man, but bludgeon attacks and violence are not the weapons of trades unionism, and too frequently do we find it like the provok- ing agent employed in France during the last Nepoleon's time, to create disorder, and to put it down, as showing the great strength of his government. So do we find that often the agent of some employ ers' association is at work among strik- ing workmen, creating discord, trouble, strife and violence for which the organ izations of labor must bear the brunt
 '"The boycott; yes, of course we boy colt, certainly. I think there are some ladies and gentlemen in this hall today who would disavow that they ever boy cotted, but they do all the same, and will socially, financially and in a business way, and in every other way that is right, proper and moral We propose to stand by our friends, help our friends in preference to those who have always their hands raised against us.'
 Frederick Driscoll spoke as the repre- sentative of the American Newspaper Publishers association. Reason, he said, should govern In maintaining idle rela- tions, and he added that the old prin- ciple of force with It's sad history should be relegated to the past, never to be resurrected.

Washington, October 17-J. F. Ander- son, a blacksmith in the mail bag de- partment of the postoffice, who was dis charged as a result of a recent investiga- tion, has filed a petition with the civil service commission, asking to be restored to his old position, and charging that not withstanding he instigated the inquiry he was made the subject of 1t and was the only one to suffer as It's results.
 He expresses the opinion that he should be restored as Miller was in the govern ment printing office case, but the opinion Is informally expressed at the civil service office that the two cases do not rest on the same basis, as the reason given for Anderson's discharge Is that 1t was for the good of the service"

MAN IS KILLED BY ELECTRIC CURRENT
B. R. MEEks, EMPLoYE OF FORD, BACON G DAVIS, PICKS UP LIVE WIRE AND DIES IN A FEW SEc- ONDS.

B. R. Meeks. employed by Ford. Bacon & Davis. construction engineers, was yes- terday morning almost instantly killed by current of electricity on Avenue I and Twenty-third street. He was taken to Lige Loys undertaking establishment. The re- mains will be sent to Sterret, Ala, this morning.
 An arc light had fallen in the center of the street and one of the wires was sputtering about on the ground. It was very dangerous to passers-by, and Meeks went out to see if he could not fix it, so 1t would not injure any one. In doing so he became tangled in the wires and was instantly killed, 23O0 volts passing through his body.
 M. c. Bumgardner, who lives at the cor ner of Twenty-thrd street and Avenue I, was the only eye witness. He states that the arc light fell about O o'clock yes- terday morning with crash so loud that 1t awakened him. About o'clock he got up and went out on the porch to see what had caused the noise. He had been there only a minute or two when Meeks came along, and seeing the lamp, went out into the street to move it out of the way.
 MT. Bumgardner states that Meeks had just touched the lamp to move it when he fell over. He ran out into the street with a pitcher of water and poured 1t on Mee1s face, reviving the poor fellow for a second. He then raised Meeks' head and the man gasped softly and stiffened with a jerk which threw Mir. Bumgardner back several feet. He died almost before he could be reached again.
 Meek's wife ran up about this time, but her husband was dead. He had never spoken word after the current struck him. The hand of the dead man was burned black by the wire which he grasped. forming a ground circuit with his body. He was 25 years old and leaves a wife He had been In the employ of the company for about six months and was working on the Twenty-second street bridge, which is being repaired.

JUDGE RENDERS AN IMPORTANT DECREE BeSSemer to Deliver Papers to
 Birmingham Court MATTER OF DAMAGE SUIT Judge Ferguson Makes Mandamus Pro- ceedngs Against Clerk Dudley.
 Award According 90 the
 New Law.
MATTER OF DAMAGE SUIT

Judge c. w. Ferguson of the City Court rendered a decree yesterday in the man. damus proceedings against E. A. Dudley, clerk of the Bessemer City Court, direct | ing him to deliver certain papers to the clerk and register of the City Court of Birmingham in accordance with the pro- vision of the measure recently enacted by the legislature.
 The petitioner In the matter was the Birmingham, Railway, Light and Power company, against whom damage suit had been filed in the Bessemer court. The petitioner sought to have the case re- moved to the City Court of Birmingham and Clerk Dudley refused to give up the papers
 | The petitioner then filed mandamus pro- ceedings in the City Court, In which F. A. Dudley was made respondent, seeking to the have the court issue writ of man damus to compel respondent to turn over the papers.
 The decree of Judge Ferguson, after taking up the various points in the pe- tition citing the recently enacted sta ute on the matter, which provides among other things that 'the court to which said cause is removed shall have full power and authority to require the delivery by the clerk of the said City Court of Bes- sener to the clerk of said court to which said couse is removed, all papers and to enforce in all respects the removal of said cause,' proceeds as follows:
 'The demurrer to the petition on several grounds stated. denies that the act Is in accord with the constitution of 1901, in brief that 1t is in violation of several sections of said constitution pointed out in the demurrer
 Rule of Construction. "A cardinal rule of construction requires our courts to presume the constitutional ity of statutes until the contrary Is shown. Another canon of construction is to the effect that to be in doubt is to be re- solved and to resolve the doubt in favor of the constitutionality of the act, unless clearly convinced to the contrary. Giving effect to these rules, it is the duty of this court to presume that the enactment of coordinate branch of the government is constitutional. or at least to resolve the doubt In favor of its constitutionality un- til the supreme court determines the mat ter.
 A Maxim.
 Indeed 1t has become a maxim of the law that a statute cannot be declared unconstitutional unless 1t is plainly shown to offend against some specific provision, or necessarily implied prohibition, and to doubt Is to skstain the act. It follows from these views that the demurrer must be overruled.
 'Mandamus awarded In accordance with the prayer of the petition"
