A long and comprehensive repor on the cotton exchanges of the coun try with particular reference to thei "dealing in futures" is now beini written by Herbert Knox Smith, com missioner of the bureau of corpora tions, says a Washington dispatch o Friday. It is declared to be the mos searching inquiry- yet made into cot ton fluctuations, their cause and th . methods of the various cotton ex changes that has ever been made. A1 the work of investigation has beei completed and it only remains t write the report which will be read; in a few days. Its findings are anx iously looked for by the cotton trad in this country and abroad, and b; cotton brokers in New York, New Or leans, Liverpool, in fact wherever ther are cotton exchanges. The investiga tion by the agents of the bureau o corporations upon which the report i based, consumed nearly a year in th making and involved separate inquir; into forty exchanges.

Senator Simmons of North Caro lina on Friday spoke in support of ai amendment to the ocean mail subsid; bill, authorizing the payment of th same rates to vessels of the secom class that are allowed to those of th first class for carrying the mails. Th only difference between vessels of th first class and those of the seconi 3L, class, he said, was the difference be- \ tween 20 and 16 knots in speed and a , difference in capacity of between 8.000 and r.,000 tons. ' Today in the whole ' ^ world." declared Mr. Simmons, "there i are but 21 steamships of the first i 11 class, as defined by the act of 1891, e and every one of them is owned by I, the Canadian Pacific railroad." Mr. Simmons said that in 1905i American \ cotton trade with China amounted to | ' $4 7,000,000. while last year it was ony ly $3,000,000. "What does that : n foreign competitors regulated their t mean?" he asked. "It means that 1 when .we began to be troublesome our , v rates so as to crowd us out." Mr. t r Simmons suggested that the amount . . of compensation for mail transporta- j tion in the foreign service in any one j S year should be limited to the estimat- < - ed revenues of the government for i 0 that particular service and Mr. Gallinger, in charge of the shipping bill, said he would be willing to accept the i n amendment.

There is almost as much cotton gambling in Rock Hill as there has t ever been, the principal difference be ing that the figures are not displayed r where they can he seen by the officers ? of the law. If there was only some way to get f hold of that SO.OOO or 100,000 bales of t rotten, unspinnable cotton that has - been accumulated in New York during e the past fifteen or twenty years for - the purpose of fixing the price of the 1 commercial commodity, the farmers of fi the south would be benefited to the o extent of a hundred million dollars. y That old rotten stuff in New York is - ht for nothing on earth except to dee press the price of real cotton; but that y it does admirably. e It would be interesting if Judge - Prltchard would consider the case of f Mr. Arthur and say whether he thinks s that gentleman's conduct on the dise pensary board is prejudicial to his y remaining on the receivership commise sion. No reflections on Mr. Arthur. If e the other gentlemen are content to re main in office with him, that is to be i- taken as evidence of their endorsement 1 s of his conduct. And people do not en- 1 - dorse things that they are not capable 1 o of doing themselves. I e ? Yor gentlemen, Messrs. McCullough.

Both Mr. Lyon and * Mr. Roundtree make statements which ' y seem to leave no question of this fact, j e As we see it. this is a very serious . ti charge. Whatever may be the opinion e of a Federal or any other judge as to J 6 e the law governing a given issue, that , il judge certainly oversteps his authority t ,vhen he attempts to anticipate or >thenvise interfere with constitutional egislation. It begins to look now as f Judge Pritchard acted with undue taste. Tin-: editor of the News and Courier >vho, by the way. is about as able a awyer as there is in the state, has this o say of the supreme court decision on lie dispensary case. "The supreme court of South Carolina has pronounced judgment in the state dispensary case. The decision was written by Justice Woods. It is admirably done, altogether judicial In temper and as clear as a bell. The contention of the attorney general of the state is fully sustained and the jurisdiction of the United States circuit court denied. The decision rests not only upon the reserved rights of the state, but upon the decisions of :he United States supreme court in other contentions of like character, and we do not see how that tribunal can determine adversely to the interests of the state without completely eversing its own judgments. Officers of the Church. It is quite a common thing to hear individuals who are not church memoers, laying at the door of members of :he church, and especially church officers. responsibility for much of the rotenness and crookedness that permeates society. The complaint comes up something ike this: "Look at so and so, he is a imminent church man, occupies a front ?eat at every service and has his nouth in everything that the church ioes. Yet everybody knows that he Is lot to be trusted in an ordinary busnoss transaction, his reputation for common honesty is not good, and he ioes things that would be condemned n men who make no such professions. Hnw do you expect the people to be my better than they are with such nen as this for leaders." We would not be understood as tryng to defend any kind of improper conduct in any church member or any church official, and we agree with the commonly accepted notion that church uembers and church officials should so conduct themselves as to be fit eximples for other people in all matters elating to correct and righteous pracices. This is too plain a proposition :o admit of successful contravention; jut we submit that there is no good ogle or common sense behind the purpose for which people generally point iut the unworthiness of church mem>ers or church officers, viz: the justifi ation of themselves. There is no question of the fact that ill church members, and church officers should be honest and upright in ill their dealings and clean and correct n all their conduct; but in cases where hey do not measure up to these con litions, we are unable to see where or low their failure should be any justification to their critics in the emulation f their examples. While it is true that unworthy church nembers and unworthy church officers ire discreditable to the churches to (vhich they belong, they are still more liscredftable to themselves, and there s no good ground to charge responsibility against the churches. As a mat:er of fact not one of the different Christian demoninations as such stands 'or a thing that is wrong or questionible. As a matter of fact, the tenets if all of the Christian denominations ire sound and wholesome and the failjre of the individual to live up to those tenets must not be held as a reflection upon the tenets but rather as a reflection on the individual. And as for the man who complains igainst the church because individual members thereof are recreant to their fluty, we think he puts himself in an unenviable position. He can better ifford to leave off such complaints as against the church, and apply them more directly against the moral turpitude of the individuals complained of, And it will be better even to leave off this until he becomes a member of the church himself, for if he is dissatisfied with the kind of people of which the church is made up, he certainly cannot hope to work much of a revolution from the outside. Instead of waiting for the church to become better, it would be a better move on his part to join and undertake from the inside such reforms as he thinks are needed. Bui with it all. do not let it be understood that the people who compose the church are all what they should be. There is plenty of meanness and hypocrisy in the church, There are church members and church officers who do not hesitate to serve the devil in the livery of heaven. It has always been so and it will be so always. BULLOCK'S CREEK NOTES. Correspondence of the Yorkville fcnoulrer.

McDowell that brings some pleasant news for the doctor's many friends in this section. It is a private letter, but of such a nature that we think it ought to he published, although our esteemed friend had nothing of the kind in mind at the time he was writing it. The letter is dated Trudeau, New York. March ( 12, and reads as follows: "I wish to have the address of my paper changed from this place to Sardinia, Clarendon coun ty, S. C., and you may make the change ; at once, as I leave next Tuesday and the Friday's issue will be the last to . reach me. I honestly don't know how 1 I could have gotten along up here the [ past seven months without The Enquirer. To get it twice a week has been ' one of my greatest pleasures. It is al; ways the first paper opened and read. It keeps me posted on news of Yorkville and York county?news that I can 1 get nowhere else. You and your staff are certainly to be congratulated on turning out such an excellent paper in every department, and in maintaining and improving its standard from year to year as 1 am sure you have done since I first became a subscriber. I ' leave here in good shape, and while not allowed to begin work until next fall, I hope by then to be classed as an apparent cure." What the doctor's further plans are. if lie has any. lie has not seen proper to state, but if he would do what the most people who know him want him to do, he will come right back to Yorkville as soon as he can. If he is | at all doubtful about the correctness of this assertion, it is safe to say that it can be backed up hy not less than iiftO signatures. RODDEY ON COTTON. If the existing system of cotton gambling has a more inveterate enemy than Mr. John T. Roddey of Rock Hill, the name of that inveterate enemy .".as not yet appeared on the record. Mr. Roddey first commenced his light on cotton gambling about fifteen years ago. and he has been at it ever since. It would be a little venturesome to say that Mr. Roddey was the first man to conceive the idea of an organized tight on the part of the farmers in behalf of better prices. He does not make such a claim so far as this writer knows; but whether he would claim it or not. it would not be difficult to show that he is the father of the movement f that resulted in the first cotton association. later In the Southern Cotton Growers' association and still later in the Farmers' Union. It was while he was engaged In the brokerage and commission business in New York that Mr. Roddey lirst he came interested in the subject. He worked out plans of organization, wrote for the newspapers and made speeches, all urging organization for the purpose of holding cotton off the market, and as the result of his activity enough people became interested to put the first organization of which ? Harvie Jordan became the head, underway. 1 Though not as enthusiastic now, i ' probably, as he was then, Mr. Roddey ^ , is no less finn in his conviction that , the south has been and is being impos- i ed upon and that the only defense ] against this Imposition is thorough and j effective organization. He still be- ] lleves that this is practicable; but ad- < mlts that there is a lot of good educa- j tional work to be done before the re- j suit can be entirely satisfactory. ] "But we have made progress, lots j 1 of progress," Mr. Roddey said in con- ^ versation with the writer last Satur- 1 day. "I tell you we've got them scared, < and if we Just keep on at them we will ( ncK mem yei. "What has made all this financial squeeze?" he continued. "Not a thing 1 except when the cotton association and the Farmers' Union decided to put the price of cotton at 15 cents, those fellows ?ip north saw that they had to do something, and do it quick, else the south was in danger of getting on top and once on top It would stay there. I don't think there was anything else to it. That Is explanation of the tightness in the money market and that Is the explanation of the curtailment of production. Now, don't understand me ! to suggest that our mills are In anyway i responsible. It was the northern peo- 1 pie who tided to knock the bottom out , of the situation, and our own mills 1 have to be governed by a condition 1 that they cannot control. "There are those who say that the cotton organizations made a mistake i by putting the price too high, that if 1 they had made it 12 cents they would . have gotten it. Nothing of the kind, i Look at the situation and while you ( will not find that fifteen cents has yet been realized, you will find that up to , this time the current crop has brought the highest average price that has ever 1 been realized and this has been because \ of the high mark that was set?15 cents. On the other hand it would be absurd to say that you could market the balance of the crop even at 11 cents , if you would offer it all at the same ] time. Just let the port receipts for a ' UU> HM III^IUIILC, fit* <X icn iniicn utvi ^ the receipts of the same day last year, and down goes the contract market so many points in proportion. "That's the one great weapon they have to fight us with. That murderous old New York Cotton Exchange. We must wipe it out. I have been there, I have seen how it works from the inside and the outside and I know what I am | talking about. People tell you that the bucket shop is wrong, but there is j nothing the matter with the legitimate exchange. Bah! Bucket shops don't '> make prices. They gamble on the ' prices made by the legitimate exchange; that is all. Why the gambs ling on the exchange is not as creditable as gambling in the poker game. When two men piay poker whether they win or lose affects nobody but \ themselves; but those gamblers on the j exchange are making play of that hon- : est, hard-working fellow out there ( plowing a mule. They sell his crop a thousand times over six months before j he plants a seed, and fix the price { against him even though he is not a 1 , party to the game. It is the fellow , . who produces the cotton who is hurt, i . If it was nobody but the gamblers, I j would not consider that it is any of my | i business; but it's the north's way of 1 keeping that fellow out in the field in slavery and through him the whole , i south. "No, I don't know what cotton's going to do. That depends upon what the j fanners do. The mills are buying only i i from hand to mouth; but they are ' managing to get enough to do them. 1 , If the farmers wouldn't sell, of course, the mills would have to stop, that's all. If the farmers go panicky?something they have not done yet?the bottom will i drop out and our good friends of the I i nortn will get an tney nave Deen ngniing for." j OVER IN ROCK HILL. < A representative of The Enquirer 1 i spent several hours in Rock Hill last , Saturday and during his stay accepted i [ an invitation for a drive with Mr. J. Edgar Poag, the man who "cuts earth to suit your taste." "I ain't going to try to sell you nothi ing, buddy," said Mr. Poag, "because I ( i have done found out that there ain't ] 1 much use fooling with you; but if you ' will just go along with me and don't ! I get an idea or two for The Enquirer, . I then you can charge up your wasted ] time to Poagy, old boy. "There ain't nothing sensational go- : 1 ing on maybe; but if you have an idea ' t that Rock Hill is asleep, all I ask is < that you keep your eyes open and note 1 all the bu lding operations that are go- \ ing on. Maybe there ain't as much do- < ing right now as you have seen in oth- < er times; but still the old place is mov- < , ing right along with everybody on the 1 lookout for everything that is a coming : or a going." i Heading his horse up in the direction I of the college and past Winthrop, Mr. 1 Poag first pulled up at Mr. J. M. Cher- ? ry's big cattle barn on the northwest- i ern outskirts of the town. This barn i is located in the middle of an acre lot I about fifty yards off the main road to the river. It is neatlv whitewashed and all the surroundings are of clean appearance. The building is a two-story affair, about 1 lif? feet long by .10 feet ; wide. There is a plank passageway ' running through the middle from end to en<), and on either side of it a feed trnugli extending its full length. The passage way on either side is studded with uprights from to ;{ feet apart J and reaching from floor to ceiling. Looking down the passage way the view presents two long rows of heads j of dehorned steers, eating stover, cot- , t i cooil hnllc nnrl cut tun mopiI mmil from the troughs. As originally built , the troughs were constructed at a j height that enabled the steers to eat i comfortably front them while standing j on the ground. Now. however, by reason of the accumulation of manure, most of the steers have to get down on their knees to reach the troughs. In reply to a question, Mr. Poag estimated l that there were in the neighborhood of t 60(1 loads of manure in the building, 1 worth $? a load, "But it may be more t than that buddy. I don't know," he t added. f Mr. Poag went on to explain that s Mr. Cherry had bought his cattle last i fall principally in the mountains of ( North Carolina and had been feeding t them about four months. The cattle t cost originally from 3J to 4 cents a t pound, delivered at the barn. At the a time of their receipt by Mr. Cherry t they weighed from 750 to X00 pounds 1 each ami now they average from 900 to e 1.200. Most of them weigh about 1.000 e pounds. Within another month they 1 will all be good fat, and they will sell c for about 5 cents a pound on foot. x As is pretty generally known, sever- J1 al Rock Hill gentlemen embarked in t the cattle feeding experiment three or ! 'our years ago; but all of them are out >xcept Mr. P. C. Whitner and Mr. Cher y. The others quit on account of the idvanced price of feed and the trouble nvolved: but those two are holding on lotwithstanding. They do not calculate uii making any profit on the diference in the selling price of the oatle. As a matter of fact, a profit of l.t cuts a pound is hardly enough to pay he ex|iense of feeding. They are lookng to the profit in the manure, and :ake it on faith. It lias never been lefinitelv established what the actual I'alue of cattle manure is; but these gentlemen reason that it would be next :o .impossible to get so much in any ither way at any price. They use the manure on their farm lands near by, ind some of these lands have already aeen built up to a point where they produce two bales of cotton to the acre. Just how much land Mr. Cherry owns in a body, the representative of The Eiuijuiier i(i tint leani ueiimieij , uui understood from what Mr. Poag said that Mr. Cherry owns to the river, nearly four miles. However, this may be, there is no doubt of the fact that Mr. Cherry is spending' a lot of money in improvements of various kinds. He uas set out thousands of fruit trees, cleared hundreds of acres and pulled up the stumps, and has spent hundreds ?f dollars grading the roads. "Cherry is not afraid to spend money," said Mr. Poag. "He bought most of this land at fifty dollars an acre and less and now be can sell it for a hundred dollars or more. Hut he won't sell. He is looking Lo the future, and he has a big thing >f it." From Mr. Cherry's place, Mr. Poag Irove over to the Oakland Dairy, where Mr. John G. Anderson is interesting liimself with the care of tine cows, proiucing butter, cream and ice cream. The dairy plant is equipped with ice making apparatus, a steam boiler for Verilizing purposes, an electric motor for general power purposes and numerous other appliances and conveniences. Everything about the place is is bright, clean and fresh as a new pin. Some thirty line, sleek, well fed, blooded cows were to be seen browsing in the nearby pasture or lying about chewing their cuas, ana me general appearance of the whole surroundings was that the owner had things lust as he wanted them. The Oakland Dairy sells milk and cream; but derotes itself principally to ice cream making and shinning. Butter is sold at SO cents a pound: but the dairy people jo not seem especially anxious to develop the business even at that price. They prefer to cater to the ice cream trade. The ice cream business which has been rather dull during the winter, has begun to pick up some, and from now on the plant will get busier and busier until it is worked up to its capacity. The dairy farm is in charge of Mr. W. E. Miller. From the dairy Mr. Poag drove back to Rock Hill, taking care to wind up around among the streets that showed building operations in progress. Quite a number of buildings are going up in different parts of the town, and although as Mr. Poag had said, there is nothing sensational about the situation, there is every evidence of the best of good health. During his stay in the town our representative was struck with the fact that there was quite a number of people who seemed to be interested in the county political situation. Several people who have the general reputation of being more or less indifferent to such matters, were inclined to discuss the prospects as to who would probably be candidates for the house and senate. There was talk of Stewart and Brlce and Saye and Beamguard and McDow and W. B. Wilson, Jr., as probable candidates for the senate: but as no effort was made to probe the situation deeply enough to warrant a review, of what seems to be the existing sentiment, no effort will be made at tliis time to give an outline of it. As a matter of fact people seemed more interested in trying to find out what would likely happen than in telling what they would like to happen, and our representative was able to give but little information along the lines of the greatest interest. LOCAL LACONICS. Resignation Tendered. Rev. Oliver Johnson on last Sunday tendered his resignation as pastor of N'eely's Creek church, the same to take pffect at once. He is to preach next Sunday, however, and there will be a congregational meeting to consider the situation. Going to Winnsboro. It is reported that Rev. Oliver Johnson, who has been pastor of the Neely's Creek Associate Reformed Presbyterian church since October 18, 1894, has accepted a call to the pastorate of the church of Winnsboro. It had been understood for some time that Mr. Johnson had this call under consideration; but the majority of his members have been hoping that he would not accept. Good Shot With Rifle. Mr. J. B. McCarter of the Buckhorn neighborhood, about seven miles northwest of Yorkville, was in Yorkvilie yesterday and stated that during the morning, Mr. J. A. Jackson killed with a 22-callbre Winchester rifle at a distance of 250 yards a large rabbit hawk. The shot broke the big bird's wing and a second shot at close range put an end to its fighting. Fire at Ebenezer. The barn on the premises of Mr. Sam Barron who lives at Ebenezer was destroyed by fire at about 8 o'clock last Saturday night. The loss included the building, a lot of roughness and some agricultural tools. The mules were gotten out by tearing off the weatherboarding from the outside. The residence, near by was saved by the splendid work of the neighbors who arrived promptly on the scene and gave their most strenuous efforts. There was no insurance on the barn. The residence which was slightly damaged was insured. Lawlessness In Steele Creek. Fort Mill special of Sunday to Charlotte Observer: News reached here today of the cutting of 'phone wires in lower Steel Creek township last night by unknown parties. The wires cut fire the property of the Steel Creek Telephone company, which is closely issociated with the Fort Mill Telephone exchange. Some time ago there was some disagreement between the managers of the exchange and certain subscribers who had the 'phones taken :>ut of their homes. It is supposed that the cutting of the wires grew out of this misunderstanding. The news rejeived here by 'phone today is to the pffect that bloodhounds had been secured and that some arrests would likely follow. This section was the scene of numerous barn-burnings about i year ago, which were generally thought to be the work of negroes. It Is supposed that the present lawless icts are perpetrated by whites; if so. t is to be regretted that they are givng encouragement to the lawless spirit which so recently was charged igainst the negroes. ? Greenville special of March 16: A conference of the members of the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturer's association will be held in this eity Wednesday for the purpose of considering the question of curtailment of production of cotton goods. At a meeting of the association in December it was decided to reduce the tutput 25 per cent during the months if January, February and March, and t will be determined at the meeting Wednesday whether or not it is advisable to continue this reduction for i longer period. The cause assigned .'or the calling of the conference is the ack of demand for cotton goods and he absence to a large extent of export trade. ? Columbia special of Friday to the s'ews and Courier: The text of Govcrnor Ansel's letter to certain county wards of control is as follows: "My ittention has been called to the fact hat your county board owes the state or goods bought of the state dispensary commission, and I write to call ittention to the fact that the state reluires the settlement to be made with he state of South Carolina, and if his notice is disregarded vigorous acion to enforce the rights of the state ind compliance by the board will be aken to the end that obedience to the awful authority of the state may be nforced. Xo settlement with any one lse will be recognized or tolerated, tny demand by any receivers of any ourt must be refused." This letter eas sent to the dispensary boards of Liken, Barnwell, Beaufort, Charleson, Colleton. Florence, Georgetown, Cershaw and Richland. HAMPERING JUSTICE. a Vt If There Is an Extra Session the Peopie Will Give Close Scrutiny. u "Wo havo bolleved all along." says 1< Tho Yorkville Enquirer, "that there " was more behind the taking of this el case (the dispensary matter) into the v, United States court than the mere l> matter of collecting the claims." The T Enquirer is not alone in that belief, ^ and it expresses the views of a good c< many people in South Carolina in the li following further observations: ft We believe that much of the ob- h struction with which Mr. Lypn has p met in the senate is more criminal o than political. There is good reason Is to believe that the people who are e under suspicion of being grafters have P powerful friends at court (in the t! house and senate) and much that is a being done under the guise of right, K justice, economy etc., is really being u done for the purpose of harboring g people who should be punished. h The strenuous, not to say frantic, E endeavor of certain interests to snatch S the dlsDensarv cases from the juris- c diction of the state, under an admls- 3 istration which has given conclusive o evidence of its determination to dis- t! cover and to punish wrongdoing, can c not and has not failed to cause a feel- ti ing of distrust and suspicion of the k motives for such a course. There has o been not the slightest indication that t the commission appointed to dis- H charge the business of the dispensary A purposed making any other than a F righteous settlement of the claims of ? creditors against the defunct institu- P tion, and not one of the parties at In- e terest has had Just cause to fear any 1 trampling of its rights. The commis- tl sion has insisted, and most properly s so, that a full accounting be made of the transactions had with the dispensary board by the liquor houses now presenting claims for payment of moneys, and it has intended, as It A should intend, that this accounting C should discover wrongdoing and ras- c cality, if any there was.. Those con- f cerns whose records are clear have S nothing to fear from the fullest inves- n tigation, and they should desire to as- r sist to the best of their ability in dis- t; covering fraud which others might g have practiced on the state of South <1 Carolina, their liberal patron in busi- I. ness. The state of South Carolina, and t the people of South Carolina are rep- t resented by the commission appointed t by Governor Ansel to make settlement a of the claims, and friends of the state and of the people of South Carolina . will loyally support and facilitate the c work of the commission. In attempt- ? ing to withdraw from the jurisdiction , of this body the liquor houses which , have appealed to Judge Pritchard . give good ground for the suspicion that they have something to conceal, either in their own interest or in the y interest of others to whose protection against discovery and punishment they , may consider themselves committed, r That there have been influences in the general assembly and in other t sources of authority furthering the t movement to block the commission's ? investigations and to take the whole ? matter to the Federal courts for set- ? tlement Is an impression which pre- ^ vails very generally and is not easily avoided. If It becomes necessary to call the legislature into extra session C to fortify the state's Interests against o the invasion undertaken by Judge S Pritchard there will be a very close r scrutiny of the conduct and the C courses of the representatives of the r people and a rigid accounting will be h required of their actions.?Charleston I Post. s ? ? r LYON UPHELD. J a South Carolina Supreme Court Says t Federal Court Is Without Jurisdiction. c The supreme court of South Carolina 1 handed down on Saturday an opinion J by Mr. Justice Woods, in which Attor- * ney General J. 'Frazler Lyon is sus- v tained in his contention for the $15,000 8 appropriated by the last general as- ' sembly for the prosecution of the al- ' leged dispensary grafters. This matter 8 was upset when Judge Pritchard, in r the Federal court, assumed jurisdiction c of the dispensary fund, amounting to 1 $S00,000. The case was a friendly suit r and brought bv the attorney general a against the members of the winding-up s commission, being in the nature of a c writ of mandamus, compelling the J commission to turn over to the attor- J ney general the $15,000 set apart for J the prosecutions. The opinion is re- * garded as a victory for Attorney Genem 1 Lyon. J The opinion concludes as follows: f "We hold that the state has not con- t sented that any court should adjudi- c cate the debts set up against it for li- t quor sold to it, nor has it consented a that $800,000 of its public funds held by r its fiscal officers, be administered a by any court and hence the Fed- \ eral court had no jurisdiction to v pass the order restraining the res- i pondents from paying out such i funds. The order of Injunction of the I Federal court therefore affords no legal I protection to the defendants and their c return is adjudged insufficient. a "The judgment of this court is that c the petitioner is entitled a writ of man- I damus from this court, requiring the 1 respondents, constituting the state dis- t pensary commission, to pay from the r funds in their hands to the state treas- 1 ury the sum of $15,000 for the use of I the attorney general as provided for by J the statute of the state, approved Feb- r ruary 25, 1908. It is a well recognized t principle, however, that the United su- t preme court itself follows the decision ^ of the state supreme court in the con- v struction of the state constitutions and I statutes, and, of course, this rule is r binding upon the circuit court of the c United States. t "This court will not. therefore, as- e sume that the construction which it f has placed upon the state constitution s and the statutes in question will be c disregarded by the Federal court. a "The issuing of this peremntory writ ti of mandumus is therefore left in abey- r ance until the further order of this e court."

Columbia special of Sunday to the Charlotte Observer: In his sermon ^4 n Moses today at the Washington Itreet Methodist Church, where Attorley General Lyon, Assistant Attorney ieneral DeBruhl and Chairman Muray, of the winding-up commission, all told membership, the pastor Rev. Dr. I. W. Bays, referred feelingly to the ^ ituation. At prayer the pastor also eferred to the Federal court's posllon of usurping the rights of the tate and interfering with the state .dministration. He called no names. ut he severely criticised those members of the commission who had aeepted appointments under Judge ^ltchard. The preacher's complinentary reference to the citizen who tad told him on the street that he ^ vould not accept Judge Pritchard's ippointment for a million dollars cash n hand was easily traceable to Dr. durray, who had made this same tatement to a number of people the light he received Judge Pritchard's ffer. The preacher thanked God for % he fact that there were still plenty of nen even in this commercial age, this ge of graft and greed,' who wfere trong enough to unhestitatlngly deide for the right against their own naterial advantage, and for the fact hat the state's agents could not be ought or bullied from their stand or the right. ? Chester Reporter, March 16: dost of our readers are more or less ^ amiliar with certain wild rumors hat have been circulated during the lay with reference to a shortage in ho nffiro nf th?

W. Boney, secretary and treasurer. dr. Boney would from time to time >orrow certain sums from the mill, naking a memorandum slip of the A oan.
