| buying and selling an article Of ccnl-
mon traffic, in competition with the
citizens of the country. 1t may be
questioned therefore, whether the
State of South Carolina was eXcrcis-
ing a governmental prerogative in
performing a function necessarily or
properly incident to its autonomy, as
a Statn.
In reference to the provisions Of
the eleventh amendment, Judge
Boyd uses the following: ''Undoubt-
edly, the eleventh amendment was
intended to prevent the Federal
court, in suits prosecuted by the citf.
zens of another State or citizens or
subjects OF a foreign State, from
interfering with State in the preser-
alton Of it's autonomy, in maintaining
! its own system Of self-government.
So long as such system is in har-
mony with the constitution of the
! United States. To this end, there
| fore, the funds of the State in its
| treasury or held by its officers or
agents for use in the administration
! of the governmental affairs of the
State are not to be affected by the
process Of the Federal court, nor can
such court entertain Jurisdiction of
ar action which has For its purpose
the INVASION OF the rights o. the
State to manage and control It's in
ternal affairs, or of an action which
will obstruct the State authority or
impair the State instrumentalities in
the discharge Of legitimate func-
tions in the claintainarcn Of the
States integrity"
AS to whether the commission is q
court is briefly considered, Judge
Boyd, citing the Constitution OF
South Carolina providing for the os-
! tablishment of the different court,
the court holding that while the COM
missioners were empowered to in-
vcstigate the transactions, trey we're
nor empowered to determine any
issue of fact, enter any Judgment. or
conclude any party that might be
investigated as to any right or interest
involved. Judge Boyd then refers to
the opinion of the Supreme Court ol
South Carolina deciding that suit
against the dispensary commission
was a suit against the State. THE
South Carolina Supreme Court,
says the judge, "is entitled to and
has our most profound respect, but
we do not feel entitled to adopt the
construction given by that tribunal
to the statute of South Carolina.
1T is our conclusion, therefore
that the conclusion Of the circuit
court for the district OF South Caro-
lima, appealed from. should be affirm

When Judge Boyd finished read
| ing the opinion Of the court, w. F.
FStevenson, of Bennettsyille, asked
that q reasonable stay be granted fo1
preparation for an appeal in the case
He first asked for stay Of sixty
days, but Judge Boyd suggested tina!
forty days would be ample time in
which to get ready for writ Of Ger.
torari to the Supreme Court OF the
United States, and an order was en-.
tered directing that stay Of man

Great Men Talk About The Bible.
(Tbe Childrcn's Friend,

One of the Washington newspaper
correspondents last fall made up a
table of what the United States Sen
ators and Representatives were doing
during their vacation. In the table
he had the following enumerations:
Speaking to Y. M. C. A.'s--fve
Senators and twelve Representatives.
Speaking to Chautauquas---eight
Senators and twelve Representatives.
Engaged in active Sunday-school
work---fourteen Senators and one
hundred and two Representatives.
All of the topics which these prom
inent men were assigned to publicly
speak upon concerned Christian sub
jects and Bible work, and they were
not ashamed to let it be eknown where
they stood in the struggle to make
life and those in it better.

The election of officers for the ensuing year was the most important business transacted yesterday by the Holiness con- vention. L. P. Brown of Meridian, Miss.' who has been president for the past three terms, was again elected, the convention expressing great appreciation of his splen- did work in upbuilding the union. The Rev J. E. Sampley, one of the best known evangelists in the country, was elected treasurer to succeed the Rev. Andrew Johnson of Wilmore, Ky
 The vice presidents are the Revs. P. FL Tyson of Pencil, Tex; B. F. Haynes of Wilmore, Ky; J. W. Beeson of Meridian, Miss.
 H. W. Bromley of WiImore, Ky, will continue to act as secretary. The of- fee was rendered to the Rev. John Paul of Louisville, but he declined to accept. W. W. Yoight of Meridian is assistant to the secretary.
 The missionary board is composed of l.. P Brown, chairman and treasurer; B. F. Haynes, secretary; H. c. Morrison, w. P. B. Kinard M. A. Beeson, c. M. Dun away and J. S. Sanders.
 A feature of the day were the street services, which were held between the hours of and yesterday afternoon at number of the different corners. The streets were unusually crowded at the time and each meeting was characterized by an exceptionally large and attentive audience.
 The Rev. L. L. Pickett of Wilmore, Ky, in a sermon at yesterday mornings ses- sion, Hent after the leading political par ties for the stand they took on the prohi- bltion question, saying: Tt is a we'll known fact that the political machines of the dominant parties are controlled by corrupt men in the interest of liquor and it's attendant vices. Those who love God can no more afford to come to the polit- ical level of such people than they can afford to unite with them in marriage or business. We need a combination of peo- pie of like mind in order to formulate platforms, nominate candidates and con- tend successfully for our principles"

audience is of slight importance when set against the feminine friends of The management. Age is no handicap for the purpose of the first night, but all the rules of chemistry are against the dig nity of gray hairs. The rise of the cur tain means the beginning of the day for this bird of paradise. She arises between the acts and places herself upon cxhibi- tion in slow-gaited parades up and down the aisles; she lifts her hand shoulder high, like well-trained actress, when she applauds. After the play she betakes herself with her Juvenile escort to the place she calls lobster palace and there she holds court, telling all who swarm around her like relatives around the rich uncle how bully the play has been, and how they must be sure to go and see this one or that one, Agnes or Percival in it. To drive these PickwiclE- ian characters from the first night would be to rob it of all claim to distinction. Managers should not follow the Miller plan of giving first performances in the afternoon until they have proved by ex- perience that college professors and it- erary enthusiasts of every shade are so constituted that they can applaud a fail- ure as vigorously as they applaud suc- cess.
