? James Parker, the Atlanta negro
who figured in the MeKinley assassination.
is today the subject of a dissecting
class in the Jefferson Medical
college of Philadelphia. Flushed with
money given him by admiring friends.
Parker went to the bad after his brave
act and finally died in an asylum for
the Insane. Parker was standing near
President MeKinley when he was shot
at Buffalo and grabbed the assassin.
Czolgoz, and turned him over to
the police. His act attracted a great
deal of attention, and Parker was exploited
as a hero from one end of the
country to the other. The late Markl
Hanna made him a present of $1,000.
and other prominent men gave him
large sums of money. He spent it all
in dissipation and rapidly went down
hill.
?The Aldrich currency bill was passed
by the senate last Friday by a vote
of 42 to 16: Previous to taking the
vote on the Aldrich bill, the senate refused
to substitute the Bailey bill,
providing the government issue emergency
currency. As passed, the bill
mnrn thnn fiVP hllll
J" VM IUC? 1U1 iiut ??>V* V
dred million dollars emergency currency
to be issued to national banks
upon deposit by them of state, county
and municipal bonds to be approved
by the secretary of the treasury. Currency
to be issued with a view of securing
equitable distribution of currency
over the country in accordance
with unimpaired capital and surplus of
banks in each state. Rinks to pay for
this emergency circulation at half of
one per cent the first four months it is
circulated and afterward three-quarters
of one per cent a month. The bill
provides that national banks shall pay
not less than one per cent on government
deposits. An important amendment
provided that of the 15 per cent
reserve required to be kept by banks
not in reserve cities, four-fifths to be
kept in vaults of banks and of that
amount one-third can be in the form of
securities. Another amendment prohibits
any national bank investing its
funds in stocks or securtles of a corporation
with which the bank's officers
or directors are connected.
? Exception is taken by postal experts,
says a Washington dispatch, to
the reiterated statement that the expenses
incident to rural delivery has
been the cause of the deficit in the postal
revenues of recent years. In 1897
when the expenditures on account of
rural delivery were only $14,840 the
postal deficit was $11,411,779, while in
1907 the expenditure for rural delivery
had increased to $26,755,524, and the
deficit had decreased to 56,653.bsz.
These figures are cited to demonstrate
that the increased expenditure on account
of the rural delivery service
bears no ratio to the annual deficit. On
the other hand it is certain that the
operation of the rural delivery service
is responsible for a very large percentage
of the increase in the postal
receipts. The establishment of a rural
delivery route, it is claimed invariably
brings with it a great Influx of
maii to the locality affected, and this is
gradually followed by an increase in
the' out-going .mail. There has also,
it is said, been a saving of more than
$12,000,000 on account of closing small
postofflces and discontinuing star
routes. Various economies of management
have been effected in the service
by establishing rural delivery on a
definite and business like basis so that
each route must show an adequate return
to be continued.
? Lowell, Mass, March 30: Twenty
thousand workers, men and women, are
affected by the 10 per cent reduction
put into effect today by the cotton
mills of Lowell. It is expected that
similar action will be taken by all the
cotton mills of New England, unless
conditions soon show a decided improvement.
The mills in Lowell are
owned by the Appleton, Boot, Lawrence,
Massachusetts, Merimac,- Hamilton
and Suffolk corporations. All
manufacture cloth except the Lawrence
Manufacturing company, which
makes hosiery and underwear. Manufacturers
give as reason for the
change in wages the depression in the
cloth market, the high cost of cotton
and lower prices for goods. They also
say that the existing wage schedules
are the highest paid since the civil
war. Many of the mills will continue
to curtail production until business improves.
The cotton mills in New England
number 340 out of 1,000 in the
United States. Of 300,000 cotton operatives
in the country the New England
mills employ at the present time about
165,000, a slight reduction from the
number at work last year. Fall River
has 30,000 operatives, Lowell 20,000,
New Bedford 20,000, Manchester, N.
II., 15,000; Rhode Island 20,000 and
Lewiston, Me.. 6,500.
? There was a bomb throwing tragedy
in Union Square, New York last
Saturday. Two men were killed. They
were the bomb thrower himself and a
companion. There was an assemblage
of 10,000 unemployed in the park.
They assembled without the permission
of the police, and became ugly.
Many of the people wore red caps the
emblem of anarchy and a number of
red flags were exhibited. The police
undertook to clear the park and 150 of
them charged on the mob for the purpose.
Their object was to keep the
crowd moving. As the park was almost
clear and while a detachment of
police was following behind, two men
came out from behind a monument.
One of them held in his hand a bomb
with a smoking fuse and as he attempted
to throw it the bomb exploded.
Some twenty men in the immediate
vicinity were thrown from their feet.
The bomb thrower was knocked insensible
and fatally injured. His companion
was killed. When the insensible
man came to, he said that his name
was Selig Silverstein; that he was from
Russia, but lived in New York and
had a wife and two children. He
made it clear that he was an anarchist
ami that others were concerned
in the attempt to assassinate the police:
but he declined to give names.
About 1.500 extra policemen, armed
with revolvers and night sticks were
kept on duty during the night; but no
further trouble developed.
? A negro and a white man were
shot by Congressman Thomas J. Hetiin
on a Washington street car last Friday
night, the negro on purpose and the
white man by a stray bullet. Congressman
Heflin was on his way to deliver
a temperance lecture and was accompanied
by Congressman Ellerbe of
South Carolina. Shortly after the two
men boarded the street car on which
there were a number of people, including
several ladies, two negroes began
helping themselves to whisky out of a
bottle. Mr. Hetiin rebuked the negroes
for drinking whisky in such a public
place and one of the negroes gave him
some impudence. There followed a desperate
struggle as the outcome of
which Heflin threw the negro off the
car. The negro made a move as if to
draw a pistol. Heflin got his gun out
first and fired two shots through the car
window. One shot struck the negro
in the head. The other went wild and
hit Thomas McCreary of New York
in the leg. Hetiin was arrested and
locked up until friends were able to
raise $5,000 bond for him. The negro
was not able to appear at court next
morning and the case was continued.
At first it looked as if the negro would
die: but he is now thought to be out of
danger. It was Heflin who some time
ago introduced in the house a "Jim
Crow" car bill intended to require the
street railway people to provide separate
cars .for the negroes. The negroes
of Washington are very bitter
against Hetlin on this account, and
they have been stirred up anew because
of the shooting of one of their
number. Thomas Lumby is the name
of the negro who was shot.
? Montgomery. Ala.. March 28: In a
sweeping decision making permanent
the preliminary injunction decided
last August. Judge Thomas G. Jones,
of the Federal court of Alabama, middle
district, declared that acts which
sought to prevent the railroads of the
state from going into the Federal court
were unconstitutional and that the
anti-railroad acts of the Alabama legislature
should be suspended pending
an investigation of the complaints of
the railroads that the acts were confiscatory.
Judge Jones declares in the
opinion that the issue of states' rights
is not involved in the issue now in the
Federal court. The opinion says: "Life
would be intolerable in any government
claiming to be at all free wherein the
citizens had no redress against wrongs
done by officials in the name of the
state." The constitution itself, it is
held, gives the Federal court the right
to pass upon such questions, and the
real objection to its exercise is therefore
an objection to the princi
pies <?f the Union. The effect of the ei
decision is to declare unconstitutional fc
a great many of the parts of the railroad
code adopted by the Alabama P*
legislature and to suspend all rate acts Si
until the justice of the rates can he p
determined. The opinion had been > .
published and was in the hands of the
printer for delivery when the United 1'
States supreme court rendered its hi
opinion in the Minnesota cases which
were similar to those in which the
state of Alabama was a party. In all
essential details the opinion was slml- n<
lar to that rendered by Mr. Justice tj
Peckham.

TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1908.
m
m
Will Gov. Ansel run on a prnhibi- j,,
tlon platform this year, or will he adhere
to his local option platform, upon v
which he was elected? It must be ri
recognized that the prohibition senti- Sl
ment has made great headway in the a
past two years, and Mr. Featherstone
is making a bid for the prohibition ?'
vote.?Anderson Daily Mail. sc
The people of South Carolina thor- n<
oughly understand that Martin F. An- t!
sel is no liquor man. They have full 01
confidence in him, and they have reu- "i
son to know that he can be depended t?(
upon to enforce as far as any man w
can enforce, such laws as the geneial
assembly mny provide for the regula- w
tion of the liquor evil. t<
? m
Pritchard Sticks to It. cl
Whatever else may be said it Judge
Pritchard, there is very litt! i doubt of tr
the fact that he is an able man; but C
as to whether he is a fair and just man, hi
we do not know. ' 01
There seemed to be good reason to ?1
hope that in view ot the remarkably oi
clear deliverance of the South Caroli- ta
na supreme court on the subject of ci
state and Federal jurisdiction in this
dispensary matter, Judge Pritchard c<
would have the grace to step down R
from his former remarkable position It
and revoke the orders under which he w
assumed jurisdiction of the dispensary ai
funds. is
But Judge Pritchard has not seen p<
proper to take the back track. From is
what he said at one of the preliminary ti
hearings it was evident that he was ei
somewhat dubious about trying to in- a]
terfere in the matter. Having decided, st
however, it is now apparent that he is a
going to stick it out.
As we have remarked before, we
consider the situation as especially unfortune,
principally because we be- B
lieve the whole proceeding to be not
in the interest of justice; but in order 0
to hamper ine attorney general m mo ^
efforts to run down and punish the ^
people who have for so long been mak- B
ing sport of the people of South Car- la
olina. It was evident that the whisky ^
houses were getting all that was com- fa
ing to them, and there was absolutely tl
no just reason why the case should go "
to the United States court. In the ^
present situation, however, we can see bi
it in no other way than that the peo- 01
pie who are responsible for all the S!
trouble that has been caused will pi*ofit
by the delay. M
Our own humble opinion of the ei
state's i-ights question is about like
this. Originally the constitution rec- w
ognized the complete sovereignty of tl
the states. The Federal government c'
had no authority over a state except
such as might be exercised with the rr
state's voluntary acquiescence,. Any 1?
state objecting to Federal jurisdiction ^
of any kind had a right to get out of hi
the Union. All this, however, was set- tl
tied by a trial of strength and power
covering a period of four years. Since f(
then the states have continued to urge bi
claims of sovereignty on various ques- s<
tions; but whenever the matter has 14
come to an issue sovereignty has been b'
settled in accordance with the pi'ef- tl
erence of the Federal government. .
We do not look for anything else in 0)
the present case except that the United bi
States supreme court will sustain
Judge Pritchard on the merits of the sj
case if it wants to, or switch the mat- r?
ter off on some side issue in case it
does not care to establish a precedent ^
at this time. But as to this we are not Qj
very much concerned. The thing that S
worries us most is the fact that any 01
court of this country, whether the
United States court or a state court, ,>]
can be so flagrantly used for the purpose
of covering up crime. al
Still, however, there is no need to j.
get excited. Governor Ansel is a wise
man, and Mr. I?yon is assisted by able li
counsel. The people of South Carolina
can do no better than stand by the inen S(
whose business it is- to look after their bi
affairs. b'

Two Thousand, Two Hundred.
It will be a pleasure to the many
friends of The Enquirer to know that c
the circulation of the paper is now
larger than it has ever been before at n
this season of the year.
As a matter of interesting informa- ntion.
we will state that this is the par- ft
ticular season at which the circulation ^
of The Enquirer is always the small- *v
est. B
With the close of the club contest tr
last Saturday night, every name that
had not been actually paid in advance, ?
or settled for in a manner that was
fully as satisfactory as such actual P
payment, was stricken from the list.
That leaves virtually the entire cir- y
culation provided for until January 1 d
next, and under conditions as they ex- P
ist such changes as may occur will
naf 11111IIv tr<i f,i svvellinir the list still si
more as against the close of the year. ^
The total bona tide paid circulation ^
of this issue is 2.225 copies, a gain of ^
nearly f?00 since the lirst of last Oc- cl
tober. J"
Several times during the past few tj
years the circulation has been over 2,000 p
on the first day of January; but the tl
annual pruning that always follows
that date has invariably reduced It to ^
1.750 or 1.800. On January 1 of this i>
year there were close to 2.300 names, ^
and the pruning did not reduce the
number below 2,000. n
The largest subscription list ever at- o
tained by The Knquirer in former years
was about 1000, in 1870 and 1871, when
there were no newspapers in Chester, V
I nion. Caston or Cleveland counties, ('
and this paper had practically the en- '
tire field.
In 1*88 and 1XX!?. the circulation of n
The Knquirer ranged from 1,150 to 1,- |>
250; but since that time, there has been o
a gradual and steady increase.
While the fact is not generally ap- p
'predated by the public, a bona fide si
rculation of 1,000 copies is very good
>r what Is known as a county newsiper.
There are more such papers in
rnith Carolina that have less than
000 subscribers than there are that
ive more than 1,000 subscribers,
here are quite a number that have
en established for years and which
e very well satisfied with 500.
It is rather strange; but it is a fact,
verlheless. that it is rarely the case
lat an editor will admit less than
000 subscribers. Those who ordinary
print only 500; but who at some
me get out a special edition of 1,000,
lereafter adopt the larger figures as
le circulation standard, and make lit e
hesitation in quoting them.
A great many county papers have
so followed a practice of holding on
all the names that have found a
ace on their subscription list. Their
lea is, once a subscriber, always a
lbscriber. The subscriber may have
anted the paper only for six months,
id after that time he may have died
r moved out of the country; but the
iper would keep on going to his old
ldress. In this way many publishers
ive built up larger circulations than
ley were able to carry.
The outlook is that there will be no
iore of this. If the postofflce depart*
* - '-- ? Uo rooonf r?n1
ieni is in eumtrsi auvui no nwi>v >?
ig it is practically certain that there
ill not be. The principal point in the
lling of the department is that no
ibscrlption must be continued beyond
certain limit after its expiration withjt
an express order from the subTiber
that it be continued. It is not
fcessary as we understand it that
ic subscriber pay for what he has had
r what he is to Ret; but the paper
Hist not be sent to him without his
>nsent. and if lie orders it stopped,
hether he has paid for it or not, it
list be stopped, forthwith. Otherise,
the offending newspaper Is liable
i forfeit its right to admission to the
lails as mail matter of the second
ass.
We would not undertake to say that
lere is not a county paper in South
arolina other than The Enquirer that
as a bona fide paid circulation of as
lany as 2,000 copies; but until some
:her publisher states that he knows
' his own knowledge that we are misiken,
we will believe that such is the
ise.
That we feel no little pride in the
imparatively large circulation of The
nquirer, we have no desire to conceal.
is something to be proud of. That
e expend more labor, more energy
id more money on The Enquirer than
expended on any other county pa
sr in the state, we oo noi mum uicic
any question. The large circulaon
the paper enjoys is to be taken as
. idence that these expenditures are
^predated, and in this last circumance,
especially we feel that we have
right to take considerable pride.
FIRE AT HICKORY GROVE.
lock of Small Buildings Destroyed?
A. R. Church Has N'arrow Escape,
orrespondence of the Yorkrille Enauirer.
Hickory Grove, March 31.?The block
I buildings from the brick stores on
fylie avenue to the north corner of
road street, were swept out by fire
st night. The list includes a dwellig
on the corner, owned by Mr. B. F.
coggins and occupied by two colored
imilies. These families barely made
leir escape, and lost nearly everyling.
The next building was a vaint
store belonging to Mr. J. N. Mcill.
In it were stored about sixty-five
jshels of corn, some roughness, about
le-half bale of cotton and a lot of
itton seed, belonging to Mr. John
oss. This was a total loss.
The next building was the store of
[r. C. L. Westmoreland. The rear
id of this building was occupied as
dwelling by the family of Mr. Tom
:cDaniel, who had a narrow escape
ith their lives. Some show cases in
re store and a few other small arties
were saved. Mr. McDaniel manred
to save a little furniture.
The next building was the beef
larket with dwelling at the rear, benging
to William Smith, colored,
he residence had but recently been
)mpleted. Nearly all of the houseold
furniture was saved. Adjoining
lis was a small building used as a
arber shop by William Smith. This
uilding was saved from the flames
>r some time by carrying water in
uckets, but the intense heat Anally
?t it also, but all the fixtures had been
>moved.
Several telephone posts were almost
urned down and the wires are down
lis morning.
Just about the height, of the fire, the
. R. P. church on the opposite side
f the street caught fire on the roof,
lit was extinguished by the timely ef>rts
of Rev. J. L. Oates and others.
The livery stable just across Broad
reet would have burned also, but the
>ofing of rubberoid probably saved it.
Nearly the whole population of the
>wn turned out, but could only stand
y and see the work of the flames go
n. The origin of the fire is unknown,
ome thought it started in the rear end
t Mr. J. N. McDiU's vacant store
>oin, and others said it started about
le stove flue of the Scoggin's building
I the corner.
Mr. B. F. Seoggins had some insurII
ce.
Mr. C. L. Westmoreland had $400 on
is stock and $400 on the store room.
Mr. Tom McDaniel had something
ke $150 on his furniture.
William Smith had $350 insurance.
The wind was blowing from the
>utheast. which saved the block of
rick buildings, the last of which was
ut a short distance from the barber
top.

today; later eased off, closing steady, ^
net 5 points lower to 4 points higher. J
Sales were estimated at 100,000 bales.
The opening was steady at an ad- ?
vance of 2 to 3 points and during the s
first few minutes the market sold 8 to
H points net nigner oil covering anu ?
some fresh buying for long account a
which was promoted by steady cables t
and talk of firmer interior markets. J
Offerings increased at the advance ow- >'
ing to good weather in the south, some- h
what larger estimates for tomorrow's P
receipts, reports of rapid progress with c
farm work, and predictions that the a
local stock would be tendered on May
contracts. After selling off to 9.55 for g
May and 9.44 for October, the market t;
rallied on some positions as a result n
of covering in the late trading, but y
there seemed to be little snap to the p
buying, and the undertone showed lit- o
tie improvement. The Southern mark- ii
ets officially reported were generally l<
unchanged. Exports for the day were p
comparatively large, but were supposed t
to reflect the usual spurt at the end of s
the month. Advices from the south- b
west state that considerable cotton is s
still held in interior, but generally pri- a
vate advices reaching the market are i
bullish as to the attitude of holders. t
Receipts at the ports today 13,453 t;
bales against 11,448 last week and 13.- p
035 last year. For the week 100,000 o
bales against 93.279 last week and 113,- e
!tS4 last year. Today's receipts? at New t
Orleans 3.593 against 1.204 last year, s
and at Houston 2,234 against 2,1611 last a
year. c
OUR CLUBMAKERS.
II IS mi' [iiriisuit- 01 i lie uihiuiici *.
to give expression here at this time, s
to a feeling that is never out of our c
hearts and minds from one year's end ti
to another and that is our sense of oh- i<
ligation to our elubmakers. b
While the club system is a common o
feature in connection with the circu- 1
lation of most weekly papers, that sys-. ii
tern as it exists in connection with The C
Enquirer is different in some respects F
from anything of the kind of which we h
have any knowledge in connection with s
any other newspaper. F
There are elubmakers in the list we t<
publish elsewhere in this issue today, F
\
ho have been making clubs con- I
inuously for thirty years or more, and
fiere are several also who represent
fie second and third generation in the
time work, their fathers and grandithers
having been elubmakers in the
ast as they are now.
Fellow newspaper men and others
ave more than once puzzled themelves
over The Enquirer's club syst*m?wondered
how we could offer
uch liberal premiums and how the
ystent could work so smoothly, and
Ills is not strange for the situation is
o be appreciated only by those who
re parties to it. We have more than
nee had evidence that the premiums
re offer are In a large measure only
secondary consideration; that most
f the elubmakers are moved more by
feeling of the good they are doing
ban by the value of the premiums, and
re are glad to say that it has long
ince been made impossible for us to
eel that any premium we may give or
ny cash commission we may pay is
ufflclent to discharge our obligation
o such staunch and generous co-workrs.
The present publishers of The Enuirer
cannot claim to have establishd
the club system as it exists. It was
n institution when the present pubishers
took charge. But there is gratficatlon
In the fact that there has been
o change: that those who had been
;eeping up the work so long are no
?ss zealous than they were; that new
nes join in from year to year, and that
he bond of personal friendship beweon
all of them and the publishers
ontinues to grow stronger as It
rows older.

The Rock Hill Buggy company
nakes several styles of buggies at the
rice indicated, and President Anderon
has advised us that the winners
lay select their own styles. Those
t'ho find it convenient to do so will go
r> Rock Hill and decide the matter for
hemselves. Where it is left to The
Inquirer, we will request the shipping
ut of the buggies similar to those
hown in the cuts that have been
linted in connection with the contest
nnouncements.
Other clubmakers who have not yet
ndicaied the. premiums they would
ave for their respective clubs, are reuested
to make their wants known as

WITHIN THE TOWN.
? Mr. J. D. Jimison has purchased
he York Lunch Room from D. A.
launey & Co.
? People who have not yet secured
lunicipal registration certificates
hould look after the matter at once,
'hose who are without state registralon
certificates should apply to the
ounty board of supervisors next Monay.
? Mr. Alonzo Rose said yesterday
hat he had sold more than 100,000
abbage plants to the people of Yorkille
and the country surrounding durig
the past few weeks. Other local
ealers have also sold large quantities
f plants and the prospect for an unuually
large crop is good.
? What was formerly the Yorkville
pera house, has been converted into
n armory for the Jasper Light Infancy.
The hall has been used by the 1
as per Light Infantry for a number of
ears; but within the past few weeks,
t has been especially fitted up for the
urpose of the officers and men of the
ompany, and the quarters arranged
re very convenient and comfortable.
? Municipal political situation is beinning
to warm up a little. There is
alk of at least three candidates for
uiyor. The present council claims a
iKid record in the management of the
own's finances. An issue has arisen
ver the action of the council in pushing
the sewerage matter, as it is al?ged
prematurely. There are a niimer
of citizens who do not believe that
he town can construct an adequate
ewerage system for $25,000, and who ;
elieve that an attempt will only reult
in the exhaustion of all the availble
money on an unfinished job.
'here are also people who think that
he town is not warranted in undernking
the maintenance of an exensive
team of horses for the purpose j
f drawing the wagon to an occasion- ;
d fire. It is held on the other hand
hat this expense is largely compen- :
ated by the saving in insurance. There ,
ie various other matters up for disussion.
and it looks as if the voters
lay really become interested in the
overnment of the town.
? The annual meeting of the York
ounty branch of the American Bible
ociety was held in the Presbyterian
hurch Sunday evening and was called i
r? order by Rev. W. C. Ewart, the pres- ;
lent. The attendance was quite large,
eing made up principally of members ;
f the various local congregations,
'he exercises were opened with slngig
by the choir, prayer by Rev. H. J. 1
!authen and a vocal solo by Miss Lilla |
lerndon. Rev. I. G. Murray was to i
ave made the address of the occa- I
ion; but he having an appointment at
last View school house during the af- ?
prnoon the address was delivered by i
lev. E. E. Gillespie. He took "The Bi- <
ble" for his subject and made a most
interesting- and instructive talk. After
the address the reports of Mr. W. a
M. Kennedy, depositary and Mr. J. B. p
Pegram, secretary were read, and a u
large number of new members were v
enrolled. In the reorganization. Rev. a
E. K. rjillespie was electe<l president; 0
Rev. H. J. Cauthen, lirst vice presi- s
dent, W. M. Kennedy, depositary, and v
the various ministers of the town vice p
presidents. The executive committee, v
consisting of a member of each of the '[
local churches, was re-elected. Rev. v
10. 10. Gillespie was elected a life mem- j
her of the society. The meeting was f(
closed with a benediction by Rev. H. (j

LOCAL LACONICS. 11
Auction of Small Farma. ?
The auction sale of small farms ad- v
vertised by Mr. J. Edgar Poag to take f,
place before the court house door next j.
Monday is something that is new so o
far as this section is concerned. Mr. a
Poag sold a number of lots at auction .
some years ago; but there has been no h
auction of farms except under fore- h
closure. In this case the farms con- i
sisting of from 35 to 40 acres each s
are to be sold to the highest bidders, f(
regardless of what they may bring, r
whether cost or over. The idea is to p
sell them. The farms offered are lo- g
rated favorablv to schools and mark- r
et, and whatever they may be worth \
now promise to increase steadily in a
value. j]

PRITCHARD STANDS FIRM. J
t
United States Court Will Not Give Up ?
Dispensary Funds. I
Judge Pritchard on Friday declined 0
to vacate the Jurisdiction he took or
the orders he has made in the equity J"
suits of the Fleischmann and Wilson d
companies and others against the t
South Carolina dispensary commission. v
as sought by counsel for the cotnmis- <
sion on the ground that since such ac- a
tion on his part, the supreme court of 'I
South Carolina has rendered a decision a
which practically holds that the United 11
States court is without jurisdiction, a
the Judge holding in effect that be- a
cause his determination had been a
reached first the opinion of the South t
Carolina court came too late for his f
guidance. v
Rut, ^although the decision is final e
so far as the circuit court is concerned I
and would naturally indicate that the $
receivers heretofore named by the
court for the $800,000 fund would take 2
steps towards securing the fund or h
counsel for the commission would 1
move to some action, nothing need be 1
expected for several days because of a
a suggestion, which at first glance <1
seemed to meet with the approval of n
the court, and which, if acted on by it, 1
will mrfke all the dispensary litigation s
peaceful and inactive for months and li
assure a final determination which will y
be. must perforce be. accepted by all k
parties. This is that the court auow a
the dispensary commission to give a f
supersedeas bond and so hold ail dis- a
pensary matters in the same status as c
now, pending an appeal to the United E
States circuit court of appeals, and I
then the United States supreme court, $
on the question of the jurisdiction of c
the circuit court. a
The suggestion, which came without e
previous notice to counsel for the li
complainants, agitated them consider- U
ably, and after each of them had re- e
monstrated against this procedure, \
moved by B. L. Abney, of the dispen- E
sary counsel, they asked for time to n
consider the legal aspects of the mat- h
ter, and this was granted, and since T
Judge Prltchard will be out of the city "5
until Tuesday there will be no deter- P
mlnation of the proposition until that 1)
time at least, it is stated. r

the Columbia State: Capt. Samuel E. 2
White this morning received intelli- I*
gence of the death of his nephew, Ed- s
win Holt White of Graham. N. C,. o
which was caused by suicide last a
night. The deceased had several warm t
friends in Lancaster, who were pained .
to hear of his death. It is thought ?
that ill health was the cause of the t1
suicide. Mr. White was a son of the r<
late Capt. Jas. White of Fort Mill
and related through his mother to the
Holts, who run the big mills in North
and South Carolina.

Tillman's condition demands absolute h

have entertained of making another f(
lecture tour after the close of congress, tl

? Columbia special of March 28, to c
the News and Courier: Governor An- a
sel in speaking of the decision of Judge
Pritchard, made at Asheville yester- 8
day, said: "In reference to the decis- ?'
ion of his honor, Judge Pritchard, made _
yesterday in the dispensary case, de- a
clinging to conform his former orders to 11
the decision of our supreme court, I a
must say that the same was a disappointment
to me, as our supreme court J:
has so ably and clearly passed on all
the questions involved. I shall not at- w
tempt to discuss the case here and "
now. The course that I shall pursue "
in the matter depends upon future de
velopment. If the case can be and is
allowed to be carried to the supreme
court of the United States fairly,
peaceably and orderly, without drastic
proceedings being resorted to as '
against the commission and depositories?and
that seems to me to be the C
most dignified and feasible method of
procedure?then I shall be satisfied that
the interests of the people will be main- a
tained. If. however, there are to be
,'?? onmnlirations or drastic measures
adopted, it may become necessary, at
un early day, to reconvene the legislature
to enact such legislation as our jr
state supreme court has held to be
competent." j
