' The Supreme Court Makes Permanent Associate Jus; tice Jones's Temporary Injunction Against Opening Dispensary in the Town. The Columbia State: At a special session of the supreme court yesterday morning cho county board of control of Kershaw county was enjoined from establishing a dispensary at. the town of Kershaw. The decision is of very great importance to the people of Lancaster who hnve fought againpt the establishment of this dispensary for some time and they will he gratified to learn that the legal objections I' (1 1 (< rl l\ 1? rt Ml A MA ??. HI A. 1 icmi.-DU UJ I1IV1II writ- t? Willi" I Bill l<> make permanent a temporary injunction ordered some time ago. The reasons for the decision will be tiled later. Kershaw is a town on the county line between Lancaster and Kershaw counties There was a dispensary thereon the Lancaster side of the town until the county voted out the institution so decisively. Then the dispensary was closed and nothing further was heard of it until a few months ago, when the iState board of dispensary directors received from the county board of control of Kershaw county a peti tiou sent in for the opening of a dispensary at Kershaw on the Kershaw county side. The State board decided to grant the petition and the county board elected (Irover Welsh dispenser. The people of Lancaster and especially in the town of Kershaw at once decided to tight this move and a temporary restraining order was obtained until the facts could be represented to the < supreme court. Those opposed to the dispensary based their tight on the allegation that the notices of elec tion of the dispenser were not published in a manner required I by law and also that the dispell sary would be a nuisance. The jlaw requires that a notice ot election of a dispenser shall be published at least four tunes, consecutively, and there appears to have been a mistake made by I the county board of Kershaw in carrying out this provision. The nuisance, the taxpayers claimed, would be in opening a dispensary 1.... o...f ..;.i.. . r o.~ ... i; .... uiiu nnio <?i niu oouuty line after it had been closed on the I/wieaster side and the people of the town had made arrangements for the improvement of certain property 111 the dispensary ter ritory. It is not known yet whether the decision by the court is on one or both of these points as the reasons for the de ri-ion will not be tiled until some time later. It is believed that I this will end the light bv the .Kershaw county board unless there is a petition for a rehear I in* made and granted, and that til - town of Kersh iw will remain I dry.
