CITY COUNCIL HAS
TAKEN UP MATTER.
Railroad Authorities Are to Be Petitioned,
Asking For Extra Mail Services For
the City of Laurens.

AT meeting of city council Sat-
'szday morning, the matter of securing
better mail facilities for Laurens was
discussed at length with the result that
q committee was appointed to prepare
and circulate petitions in the city which
will be presented to President Childs of
the Columbia, Newbery and Laurens
railroad and to the authorities Of the
Charleston and Western Carolina road,
asking that mail service be established
on the mixed train operating daily be-
tween Laurens and Columbia, and that
the double daily service of the passenger
and mail train recently put on between
Greenwood and Augusta be extended to
Laurens and Spartanburg.
Congressman Levers efforts, as noted
recently in the State newspapers, in se-
curing an additional service on the Co
lumbia road, are highly appreciated by
council and the entire city of Laurens
and they have been assured of Congress-
man Johnson's hearty cooperation in
these important improvements.
Council also selected committee at
this meeting to report upon investiga.
tion as to the cost and advisability of
putting on an electrical day current,
with the view of furnishing light and
power during the day to several enter
prises and stores in the city.

stitutionality of the act, commonly
known as the Brice Act, approved Feb
ruary 81, 1904, amending section z of
the general dispensary law, approved
March 9Th, 1896.
"After careful consideration this
court is of the opinion that said act is
not unconstitutional on any of the
grounds, alleged, except in SO far as
said Brice Act declares that any county
voting out q dispensary shall not there
after receive any part of the surplus
that may remain of the dispensary
school fund after the deficiencies in the
various county school funds have been
made up, as provided by law. While
the court considers this portion uncon-
stitutional, the court is of the opinion
that it is separable from the remainder
of the act, and that said act stands as
constitutional with the provision treated
as stricken out.
"This conclusion renders it necessary
to set aside the temporary injunction
granted in the first five above named
cases restraining the closing of the dis

THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT
THE BRICE ACT is CONSTITUTIONAL.

Columbia, Jan. IL. - The Supreme
Court tonight unanimously decided
that the Brict Actis constitutional.
1t dissolved all the temporary in
functions. The decision was even more
sweeping and more hurtful to the dis
pensary than the opponents of the dis
pensary hoped for. 1t says that the
only thing in the Brice Act that is un-
constitutional is the penalty clause, put
in by the dispensary advocates, which
sought to penalize the counties which
voted out the dispensary of their share
of dispensary profits for schools.
The court, whether intentional or
not, has heartily responded to the voice
of the people. The anti-dispensary adj
vocates could not have granted a more
favorable decision to those opposed to
the State dispensary system. The de-
cision goes so far as to say that all
counties are entitled to their share of
the surplus dispensary money from
counties maintaining dispensaries.
The following is the full text of the
decision for which there has been such
