Gov. Heyward Acted in Accordance Therewith and Communicated With the Committee. Phe State, 'the. 5. GOv. Heyward yesterday received from the office of the attorney gen eral an. official opinion in answer to the request of Gov. Heyward for information.as to his jurisdiction.in the matter of the conduct of Maj. John Black, director of the State dispensary. Gov. Heyward was advised by Mr. Youmans, the attorney general, that some sworn statements .from the committee will be necessary before the governor 'can remove Maj. Black, as he indicated in his letter to Mr. Youmans that he wanted to do. The committee apparently has shown some inconsistency in serving citation o Mr, Childs for contempt whereas in the case of Maj. Black they put the responsibility on. the governor. The latter has stated posi tively his convictions on the matter, and it remains for the committee now to carry its part of the red tape outlined by Mr. Youmans, who yes terday submitted the following opin ion: To His Excellency D. C. Heyward, Governor of South Carolina. Sir: After the most careful con sideration of the matters submitted to this office by your excellency, in this connection, I am of opinion that though there has been no denial by 'Mr. Black of the charges made against him by the joint committee appointed to investigate the affairs of the State dispensary, yet as the hearing had by Mr. Black was en tirely of his own seeking and con sisted simply of an argument by Mr. Gruber, one of his council, I do not think that you should proceed fur ther until satisfactory sworni proof is produced betore you thant his eonl duct has been such as charged. I, therefore, advise that you in form tihe joIint 'ommilitte ap ilpoinlted to investigate tihe affairs of thle State dlispenlsary, thatt you require from thiem before further act ion on1 your part, sufficient sworn proof of the matter charged against Mr. Black. When this has been furnished, you should issue a rule against him re q(uiring him to show cause befoie you at 12 o 'clock mei dian, on tile Furnitt All Kind: BdKibfer.

Co I think, upon reflection, that your sp< excellency' will see that any charac- to terization of the offense of Mr. the Black, if there be offense in what he thi has done, would be more properly pr< expressed in point of time after what yoi lie has committed has been establish- ne( ed than before the same has been est- gr( ablished. dri Very reepectfully, by Attorney General. sto P. S.-I advise that copies of this ef communication be sent to the joins me committee and to Mr. Black. I also t-ui advise that when the rule is issued ell a copy of it be furnished joint com- is mittee. est Upon receiving this opinion, GOv. sh< Heyward wrote the investigating the committee as follows: ble Hon.

Under existing law it is wohlly impossi to secure satisfactory results. ffhen my attention. was first direc to this matter an investigation was de under the bureau of Animal In Atry of the department of agricul e. When the preliminary state nts of this investigation were might to my attention they showed .h defects in the law and such whol unexpected conditions that I deem it best to have a further immediate restigation by men not connected tl the bureau, and accordingly ap inted Messrs. Reynolds and Neil. It s impossible under the existing law it satisfactory work should be dont the buredu of animal industry. I i now, however, examining the way which the work actually was done.
