MIMNAl 'i ' Judge Priichard Deoides Against Attorney General. Asheville, N. C., Feb. 26.?Deciding that his court would take jurisdiction and inquire into the merits of the claims of many liquor houses against the South Carolina dispensary board, and continuing until Saturday argument on'the question of appointing a receiver for the $800,000 fund left by the late dispensary, and now in the hands of a State commission, or (the State, Judge Pritchard today rendered an opinion which lays down a broad principle of importance and wide scope. The opinion of the judge appears to decide, that when a State engages in the whiskey business or other bus mess not; necessary^ to preserve its autonomy or sovereignty it waives its rights under the 11th amendment to the constitution of the United States not to be sued without its consent, and he further decides that it would beam just to permit the State under any circumstances to avoid the payments of debts contracted for goods on which it has made a profit. A decision so broad in <=huneiaticn of principles seemed haidly to have be^n expected by counsel in the case, and it taill carry to tne supreme court an issue which may serve to decide once for all the rightB of the States under the constitution. . . h- i Letter to Samp. N. Saminer. Lexington, S. C. Dear Sir: Ten years ago, there was one pure paint and 200 adulterated; there are now eight pure, 200 adulterated, about half of the latter short-measure besides. There is still but one best, and the difference is ten gallons Devoe goes as; far as, eleven next-best??5?in every ten gallons. ' ' \ A new word has come-up in paint; it is strong. Strong paint goes further and wears longer; weak paint takes more gallons and wears out sooner. The proper cost of a 10-gallon job is $50. Paint that takes 11 gallons makes it $55. Paint that takes 12 gallons makes it $6C. . Paint that take9 13 gallons makes It $65. Paint that takes 20 gallons makes it $100. The $50 job wears twice as long as the $100. These figures'are not precise; they are round. The 10-gallon paint is l^evoe. Yours truly, F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S. The Kaufmann Drug Co. , sells our paint. f ? t , i Six~Jffontlis fdr Bond Thief. Mr. T. J. Gibson, the aged bond broker, of Columbia, who was one year ago convicted of conspiracy in connection with the theft of the bonds from the State treasurer's office, and a sealed Sentence left for him by Judge Prince, today, for the first time appeared in court and the sentence was ppened. It was six months in the penitentiary without hard labor. An appeal was entered and the ^pntence is stayed. Mr. Gibson gave bond in the sum of $42,000. When Gibson was tried one year ago his attorney was Mr. Andrew Crawford. Judge Crawford put up a magnificent fight for the old man, who, he said, might not live until the next term o* court. Whep the court ended Gibson was too ill to appear to receive sentence. Since that time Mr. Crawford has himself passed away, but Gibson, still feeble, is alive. 5 BANKRUPT SALE.
