Supreme Court Refuses to Close them in Two Counties in which the People Have Voted them Out. Columbia, December 9.-T here were two pop calls made today in the state supreme court relative to the fight that is being made on the Brice act. It will be remembered that all of the cases involving the validity of the Brice act have been assigned for hearing on January 8. Under the preliminary order the authorities were ordered to keep the Greenville and Spartanburg dis pensaries open until after the return had been made. The day for the re turn was earlier than the new date set for the hearing-January 8. It was on this condition of affairs a that there was a hearing before the y supreme court Vday in the cases of t< Murphy v. Landrum and Cox vs. Hodges: The state board of canvassers has declared the election against the dispensary; the result of the elec tion has been communicated to the Istate commissioner.. The sup're. court has not directed that 4he dis pensaries in Greenville and Spar tanburg counties be kept open un til Jamuary,aind it was-to deter minathiiuesir:hatAther courtl had a hearingi of the matter today. Comissioner Tatum does not wish to ship liquor to these coun; ties and involve his bond, and the -only authority that now keeps the ) dispensaries open in Greenville and I Spartanburg is the supreme court. ! Circuit judges in the .Union and r other cases have 'declined to keepl the dispensaries open after the vote I had been declared and canvassed. 1 The supreme court this morning c heard argument as to whether or C inot the second paragraphi of the outstanding. order should be re-, yoked or not. The court is anxious not to indi c'ate any preference or to anticipatee any decision and has taken the mat ter under advisement. The dispensaries in Greenville andv Spartanburg are now open. The dispensar ies were ordereds kept open as this announcement ofa the court indicaLes:v The state of South Carolina-Inc the Supreme Court. VW. W. Mur phy, petitioner vs. B. G.

At the suggestion of the court, a counsel for the petitione: appeared S with a vies to consider the proprie- k ty of amenlding the order of injunc tion heretofore granted by the Chief Justice by striking out so much of the order as provides for atmorary injunction pending the hearing of the case. Upon full con sideration the court'is of the opin ion that the order should remain as heretofore granted until the hear ing of the case assigned for Jan uary 8, 1906. Y. J. Pope, C. J. Ira B. Jones, A. J. C. A. Woods, A. J. 1 cannot concur in this order, as. the action of the court has the effect of keeping the dispensary open, be fore the issues involved have been finally determined.
