On Motion of Attorneys for Dispen ser Order Served Upon County Board to Show Cause. J. W. Harmon, Plaintiff - vs D. M. Miles in his own right and as Supervisor of Spartanburg County, and others. (Here follows a list of managers of election.) -The plaintiff complaining of the de fendants alleges: Ist. That the plaintiff is a citizen of Spartanburg County, South Caro lina, and has been for a number of years next preceding this date; that plaintiff owns both 'real and personal property in the said county of Spar tanburg on which plaintiff now pays and hass"'been paying for a consider able time next preceding this date taxes tro the. said County of Spartan burg and the State of South Carolina. That in addition thereto plaintiff is an officer of Spartantburg County, holding the office of County Dispen ser and drawing a salary from the ~tate for his services as such officer. 2nd. That the .defendant, D. M. Miles, has ordered his co-defendants in this case to hold an election upon the question of "Dispensary" or "No ~ ~Dispensary" in the County of Spartan burg on the 7th day of November, 1905 3rd. That said defendants'have no right to hold said election for the rea son that the ord'er of t'he defendant, ~2 D. M. Miles .was null and void and im providently issued for the reason that no petition had ever been 'signed by one-fourth of sthe qualified voters of the county of Spartanburg asking for an election upon either the ques tion of the establishment or the re moval of the dispensaries in the coun ty of Spartanburg. That no such pe tition as is required by Section 7 of Acts of 1904 on page 486 i's now on file with D. M. Miles, County Supervisor of Spartanburg; and that no such pe tition as contemplated and required by said Section of said Statute htas ever been filed at any time with the said D. M. Miles. 4th. That the ac't of 19o4 No. 276 on pages 485, 486 an d 487 of th e acts of 1904, is unconstitutional and null and void for the following reason~s: That the said act is for the purpose Samongst other things of raising reve-1 nue, and originated in the Senate of South Carolina and not in the House o'Representatives as the Constitution of South Carolina requires. I 5th. That if said election above re-t ferred 'to should be held as ordered by the said.D. M. Miles, and should re- HI suit in favor of "No Dispensary" t plaintiff would be required in the fu- I L ture to pay out a considerable sum of money in addition to the taxes p!ain- t if nm ~a t3 pay to plaint'if's damn liddle BreakE -Iorse Plows been looking for :very Plow guare urn age in a very large sum of money, the exact amount of which cannot be as certained at this time, in addition thereto plaintiff would be deprived of his said office and his salary, therefor. 6th. That plaintiff has no adequat remedy at law. That therefore he would be driven to a multitude of suits to maintain 'his rights unless the defendants be restrained from Iholding said election; that the cost of said suits would be so very ex pensive that plaintiff would be unable to pay the necessary expenses of same, by all of .which plaintiff would suffer great and irreparable loss and damage. Wherefore plaintiff prays: First, That The defendants each and all be enjoined from holding said election on the 7th day of November, 1905, or that an order do issue requiring said defendants to appear before Hon. J. C. Klugh, Esq., circuit judge of Souch Carolina, on Monday, Novem'ber 6th. 1905, io show cause why said defend ants should not be enjoined from holding said election, and for such other and further relief as may be just. Sims & Hannon, Plaintiff's Attorneys. Personally comes J. W. Harmon, who being duly sworn, says that he is the plaintiff in the above stated case; that the facts in the foregoing com plaint are true of his own knowledge. .3. W:. Harmon, (.L. S.) Sworn to and subscribed to before me .this the firs' day of November, 1905 Notary Public. Order On 'hearing the verified complaint in the above stated case, upon motion of Sims & Hannon, attorneys for th-e plaintiff, It is ordered that the d'efendants be required to show cause before me ar the -court hous-e at Gaffney, South Carolina, on Monday, November 6th. at ten .o'clock a. in., or as soon there after as counsel can be 'heard, why an order should not be granted restrain ing the said defendants from holding an election in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, on November 7th. 1905, on the question of "Dispensary" :r "No Dispensary." 3. C. Klugh, Circuit Judge. November 1st, 1905. Didn't Follow Instructions. A -rather good story was related at a )anque,t given in Lhe Masonic temple . few nights ago. The speaker said that a certain individual had expres's d a desire to become associated with dhe ord:er, and asked if it was true tha.t Smember could travel the world over 'ree of cost, merely by giving one of he many secret signs. Being answer :d in the affirmative, he said that if ts Masonic friend would confiden ially give him a sign that would take im to Pittsburg and return, withomt eing required to purchase transporta n he would join the order. r)E ,rs, Smoothing and Reversib At the extremely H..ow C4 To ; a good substant mnteed to give sat! mer E structed the candidate to raise his hand to the right side of the head whenever the conductor approached him for his ticket, and learning the train be was going to take, purchased the transportation, explaining matters to :the conductor of the train and awraite-d developments. The candidate for Masonic honors followed instruc tions and all went well, of course, un til he was coming back. As no return ticket had been provided for he was forced to pay his fare. Naturally this made him angry, and upon meeting the friend, he was not in thie least backward in denouncing him and the order. "Did you follow the sign instcruc tions I gave you?" was asked. "I did," was the reply. '?Wha t did you. do confing back.?" "I placed my hand on 'the right side of my head .and wigled my fin gers." "That's where you made a mistake. You were returning and you should have wiggled on thie left side." He subsequently relented and be came a member of the order. "Gie Us A Lead." Dean Hol-e in his book "More Memories," tells an amusing story of how an old woman go:t the better of her clergyman in an- argument. 'Ihe, village churchyard was overorowded excep~t on its sunless northern side, in .which the- suicide was buried. One day th'e vicar, while visiting a poor old oman who was nigh unto death, thougiht he would try to get her con sent to 'be buried inl t'he roomy north ern plot. He began by assuring her :thatc the common aversion to burial in any particular poriton of consecpated ground as a silly . prejudice and a foolisih supe.rstitiion. Then he be sought her, as a personal favor to himself and a's an example to others, to permit her body to be buried in the northern plot of the churchyard. The old woman thought it all over for a few minutes and tihen answered,l "Well sir, as you seem t~o think as one pat of the churchyard is as good as 'another and that it makes not differ ence where we be put, perhaps you'll gie us a lead." T'he vicar did not grasp the argu-.1 nient, but he changed the subject. A good way to arouse anybody's aonscience is to catch him. A man has to get married to know all the reasons he ought not to know. A good many more girls can makeI angel cake than know how to broil 'steak. A man's family can always save money for him by not leaving him any to spends. Generally a man i's lucky if he t goes to buy a 15 cent cigar -and finds his wife has left him'enough change in dis clothes for him to pay his car ar if he doesn't buy a nickle cigar.
