The PRESIDENT in his Washington S
birthday address in Philadelphia yester-
day made a big navy the burden of his
remarks and said "just at present the
best way in which We can show that our
loyalty to the teachings Of Washington
is loyalty OF the heart and not of the
lips only is to see to it that the work OF
building up the navy goes steadily on,
and that at the same time our stand for
international righteousness is clear and
emphatic" But Washington in his
farewell address cautioned an avoidance
of foreign entsnglements and these, it is
believed, are just what will be brought
about 5y big navy. In this connection

IT Is generally admitted that while
there was no parade yesterday in honor
of Washington's birthday, the spirit OF
the occasion was as much in evidence
in Alexandria as ever. The celebration
was as earnest as that shown on any
previous twenty-second of February,
although expression was given in another
way. Heretofore there have been gen.
eral turnouts, aud the street parade has
been regarded as the sine qua non OF the
dav. This feature was omitted this
year. but the festivities entered into
we're really more prolonged than would
have been the case had the parade taken
place. The assemblage at the Elks'
Hall at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon was
the first of the festive features Of the
day, and there seldom was happier
gathering. The speeches were from the
soul and those who made them we're at
their best. The annual banquet given
by Alexandria Washington Lodge OF
Mssons at night was doubtless one OF the
most enjoyable ever held by the craft in
Alexandria. There was happy com
mingling of prominent representatives
of all political shades and ecclesiastical
preferences - republicans, democrats,
prohibitionists, Jews aud Gentiles.
They had met upon the level, leaving
all their predictions on the outside,
aud while gathered around the festive
board the flow of soul and sincere tel-
bWship was unbeunded. The Vice
President-eect Of the United States, q
stslwart of the stalwarts among the re-
publicans; republican Congressman
from Massachusetts; the junior Senator
from Virginia and the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor of the Old Domin'
ion. democrats to the manner born J.;
evangelical ministers and Jewish rabbiS,
met as brethren and parted as such.
The scenes and expressions of last night
will remain green for long time in the
souls of all present.
The Knights of Columbus we're AMI
mated by the spirit which was in the air,
and the members of this organization,
many years the junior of Washington's
lodge, we're equally as earnest in their
exertions to do honor to the memory OF
the Father of His Country. They met
to install the newly-elected officers, but
soon repaired to the banquet room where
the Knights entered into the spirit OF the
occasion with all their hearts. They
were all of one accord, and the express
sions of the speakers were interesting and
animating.
The Friendship Veteran Fire Associa'
ton, which is cherishing the memory OF
Washington, whose engine the illustrious
chieftain mounted and aided in working
in the streets of Alexandra during colon
ial days, were also engaged in expressing
their admiration of the great soldier and
statesmen. There was large turnout OF
members, among whom are some now in
the sere and yellow leaf The scenes
around their festive board will long be
remembered by sll who we're present.
Over Que hundred years have passed
away since Washington walked the streets
of Alexandria. While absent in body be

7UDGE KLUGH'S DECISION.
The Reasons for Refusing Injunction
Against Dispensary Election in
Spartanburg County.

The State.
Gafney, November I'm declining
10 grant The injunction against the
dispensary election in Spartanburg'
at the hearing here yesterday, Judge
KEugh said:
<aHsais, motion is based on the
grounds, first, that no petition has
ever been filed with the supervisor
signed by one-fourth of the qualified
voters Of Spartanburg county; second
~, that the act authorizing the elec-
ton is unconstitutional. | will dis
cuss the second ground first.
<'This act has a proviso to it which
provides for a levy of taxes in order
70 raise revenue for the purpose of
enforcing what is commonly known as
the dispensary law, if the dispensary
IS voted out of Spartanburg county.
The main object of this law is not for
raising revenue but provides for the
establishing of or removal of d1spen-
saries, and the provision Of the act
(which provides for or contemplates
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1905-11-10

the raising of revenue is a su6ordl-
nate matter. It is not the purpose OF
the act but is subsidiary to the main
purpose or subordinate to it. l think
that view would be sufficient to war
rant the court in holding that the po-
sition is not we'll taken as to the un-
constitutionality of the act.
"But further than that, it is well
settled, so much so that it may be
said to be familiar, that an act that
is constitutional in part OF its pro-
visions and unconstitutional IN other
parts will not be declared to be void
in toto unless the constitutional part
Of the act is so dependent upon the
part which is unconstitutional, and
will become meaningless unless the
unconstitutional portions of the act
were sustained. In this case the act
seems TO provide means for the es-
tablishing or removal of the dlspen-
sarv and then the second portion OF
the act which provides for the raising
of revenue for the purpose OF entorc-
ing the general provisions of the dis
pensary law in reference to the sale
and handling of liquor. Now l don't
see that one part of this act is depend
emit upon the other. It seems to me
provision for the establishing OF re-
moving dispensaries may be sustained
and may stand by itself without RET
ererce to the provision for the punish
ment of violators of the dispensary
law, or without reference to the pro-
vision of the act for raising revenue 10
punish or enforce the observance OF
the dispensary law. So that on either
ground it seems to me that the elec-
ton cannot be enjoined on account
of nullity or unconstitutionality of the
law. I agree that the case cited from
the supreme court of the United States
is not directly in point. 1t would be
directly in point if these were pro-
ceedings restraining a levy or collec-
ton of taxes under this act but that
seems not to be the question. If the

lies in the ground OF relief; that is
the absence OF requisite compliance
of the sta1ute to hold an election: So
it seems to me the answer to the rule
is sufficient and the rule must be dis
charged"
In an interview with your cor
respondent after the above proceed
ings Mr.. Sims stated that although lae
had been temporarily defeated he
would win in the end, that although
the election would come off and
Spar1anburg would in all probability
vote the dispensary out, it would not
be closed, as he would appear before
a supreme court justice and have an
injunction granted

dispensary should be voted out ana
the tax authorities seek to levy or COL
lect taxes, then it might be that this
plaintiff OF any other taxpayer couid
make that question and it would be

but it seems to me it is not the INFER
ence of this enquiry as to whether that
provision of law is constitutional OF u1l-
constitutional, because if it be un-
stitutional it doesn't vltlate: the
other portion of the act, which pro-
vides for the removal of the dispen-
sarles. -,
"That disposes of the unconstltu-
tional feature of this case. The 9TH
er is one of fact. The plaintiff alleges
that this election is about to be held
without warrant Of law, in other
words, alleges the absence OF compll-
ance with the statutes upon part OF
the authority which ordered the elec-
ton, the county supervisor. Now, that
looks like alleging a negative but in
reality it is not. It may allege a neg
ative state of things but alleges a
nullity of the proceedings and the bur-
den is upon the plaintiff to establish
that, just as much so as upon any
other plaintiff in any other case who
bases his claim to the interference or
interposition of the court upon the al
legations where those allegations are
denied, as they are in this case. The
