Chari.krtov, a C., Jnne 2fl.—Jndjfe Slmonton entered a formal order of record in the United States circuit court here yesterday in the Donald liquor case, refusing to modify the in junction order in the Donald case and refusing to suspend it until hearing an appeal by the supreme court of the United States and affirming the former position of the court that %U persons* in the state of South Carolina can now import into the state, beers, ales, wines and spirituous liquors for their own use and will be fully protected by the court In the exercise of this ad judged legal right to bring liquors into the state for their own use. Chief State Constable Holly has filed an affidavit in the court in which he disclaims any intention to wilfully dis obey any order of the court or defy or show any contempt for its authority and the court has amply vindicated its authority by imprisoning three state constables for seizing liqours imported for personal use, and ordered all such liquors to be returned to the owners. The assistant attorney general of the state, speaking for the attorney gen eral. has assured the bench and the public in open court, that no liquors hereafter imported by auy citizen into the state for personal use will be seized by the state constables. The citizens of the state may now continue to ex ercise this right without fear of any molestation or hindrance whatever. DIDN’T WISH TO HEAR HIM.

But this was not to be. The strife promoters notified the faithful in the county that Dargan must not be allowed to speak. Yesterday morn ing brought in a couple of hun dred and a committee was appoint ed to wait on him and tell him he could not speak and it is said anoth er committee was selected to see that he should not speak if he attempted it.

With the further odrances In prices of iron and steal should be coupled the gain of le pet pound tor wool, which apparently began Its journey to higher level about a fortnight ago. Better quotations have also been made for cheeper grade woolen goods. t% cents per yard for prints, bessemer pig, billets, wheat, pork, lard, hogs, shoes sad copper, while declines In prices are recorded for dour corn. oats, coffee, cotton, nsvsl stores and cattle. Sugar, coal and lumber are practically unchanged.

A reporter called on Pres ident Baxter of the Tennessee Coal, Iron A Railroad company at his pri vate residence yesterday for the pur pose of interviewing him. Mr. Baxter was In the best of spirits and In re sponse to the reporters question, said: “We made the advance in iron today because we were selling that iron at the former price, than we were mak ing. and on the account of activity and strength of the market and also to put ns on an equal footing with the north ern and eastern. The advance today of $1 ton makes a total advance of 92.25 we have had on our iron since March 15. The advance of Bessemer iron at the same time has been 93 50.

They wHl derive ben eficial results from the advance in iron and wages. Tt means a great deal more money for distribution and circulation, and will attract labor.” Continuing. Mr. Baxter said : “This advance in Iron today brings it np to are prices of 1893, but is still lower than the prices that prevailed prior to the panic of 1898.” Mr. Baxter predicted that iron would go still higher this year even within a short time. In speaking of coal, Mr. Baxter said the Tennessee Coal, Iron A Railroad company were opening, the Uenry-EUen mines located twenty miles east of Birmingham, on the southern railway. By July 1, they will be n ady to ship coal from the mine there. The company has spent a large amount of money cleaning out the mine at that point, which has been doeed the past four years, and during the fall and winter they expect to make them a large amout of this very supe rior coal. The coal mines there Is equal obtained from any mines in Ala bama for grate uses. Lumber Is another article which is manufactured on an extensive scale in Alabama.
