WINE 00. WANTS DAMAGES. Suit Filed Against Stato Dispensary Commission.?Served on 0. K. Honderson. The State 1711k Mr. C. K. Henderson, member of the state dispensary commission in Charge of Die winding up of the affairs of the old state dispensary, had served on him in Norfolk last Friday, a paper notifying him and the other members of Die commissionn that damages amounting to $10,000 were claimed by Garrett & Co., who have ifor years sold the hulk of the wine supplies to the state boards of control. This action means that the wine firm has refused to accept goods shipped hack to them by the commission and claims damages instead. The serving of the papers came as a surprise t? the members of the eommision, consisting of' Dr. W. .7. Murray of this city. C. K. Henderson of Aiken, Avery Pal Ion of Greenville, John MeSweon of Timmonsvillc sind B. 1''. Arllnu* of Union. Mr. Henderson was on a visit lo the exposition last week, when the Garrett firm, having offices nl Berkeley, just across the river from Norfolk, learning that he was in town had (lie summons served upon him. It read as follows: "Summons to W. J. Murray, John Mc-Swcen, C. K. Henderson, B. 1?\ Arthur and Avery Patton to appear in the clerk's office of the court of law and chancery at Norfolk, under the rules, to ho liolden for said court on 1he first Monday in October, to anu swer lo Garrett & Co., a corporation, on the pleas of assumption. Damage $10,000." Mr. Henderson at once sent the papers to Dr. W. J. Murray, the chairman of the commission, who turned them over to Attorney General Lyon for his consideration. The question at law is, has the firm a right to sue the commission which represents the state? The summons will havo to be answered and wither Mr. Lyon or Mr. Stevenson, the attorney for the commision, will appear on the date named and make reply. Should Ibis not bo done a judgment would he entered and the constitution of the United States guarantees that each state shall give full force and credit to the judgments of other states. However, the point will be raised that the firm has no right to sue the state of South Carolina and thcreforo tho proceeding should he dismissed. Mr. Stevenson will probably file this answer. The term "trespass" is a blanket one lo cover all claims filed in Virginia. Refused the Goods. Oarrett & Co., had shipped back to . them about $7,000 of wines sold the \ former state hoard of control. This shipment was sent along with other shipments amounting to over $100,000, as was published in The State at the time. The firm, however, refused to take the goods out of tho depot at Norfolk and claims damages. The commission believes that the purchase was made illegally and the firm claims that it was made in accordance with the law. The decision of the Norfolk courts will be interesting as other liquor firms having whiskey and other supplies returned may be back of this as a test case. TRUE BILL FOUND AGAINST SOLOMONS Charged With Violating Carcy-Cothran Liquor Law?Tho Matter up in Beaufort. The Slate. Beaufort, Sept. 17.?The grand jury 1his morning found a true bill against II. L. Solomons, the liquor salesman of Columbia, who tho magistrate here refused lo bind over in July. He is charged with violating section 40 of the new liquor law which prohibits distillers, brewers, liquor dealers, or their agents from in any way urging the sale of their gods to the dispensaries in this state. The chairman of the Beaufort count> board testified that Mr. Solomons die so approach him for the purpose ol securing business. The case ha( created a good deal of interest, here It can not be tried until the January term of court. S;?' Gov. Ansel sent for a copy of tin (testimony taken before the magistral and after considering it forwarded i to Solicitor Jorvery with the rcques that he present the mnttor to th grand jury. Attorney General Lyor -who appeared at the preliminary stated that it is tho purpose of th } state administration to enforce th anti-graft section of the present la1 flv to the letter, and as this last actio is undertaker, at the express reque; of the governor, it would seem to 1j a part of the announced policy.

Alan .lohnstunc present ed to them your request to have ??stal) lished in our textile department practical course in the grading atii sampling of cotton for the benefit o the farmers of the state. The boar< referred this matter lo the exoculiv commit lee to look into the entir question and determine if such i course was practicable without set ions interruption lo the regular wnrl of the young men who are pursuit); work in the department, and if th committee could find that the reques of the Farmers' Union could be com plied with to grant the same. Th executive committee held a meeting on the 4th ins!., and, after a carefu investigation they requested me t write you as follows: 1.?-There is already an cxoellen 'course in the textile departmen I which prepares young men for doinj | efficiently (he very work conlemplat ed in the plan you unfolded to Col Johnstone. The farmer's son win pursues this course is ample able t< sample and grade the cotton hi father proposes selling. The hoard o trustees would be pleased to kno\ that the Farmers' Union contem plates opening placcs which will giv positions to the farmers' sons wh are every year graduating in tlie les tile courses of Clemson College. 2.?W*e are now permitting youn men from the farms and the cot to mills of the stale to take speciii j courses in the textile department, i they are not able to find the time an< money to take the four years' degre course. This short course will pre pare young men for the work of grad ing cotton. J-?There can be no objection rai> ed to a small number of farmers al tending special practical courses i they so desire, provided the followin facts ire clearly borne in mind b them: 1.?The department can aceommc date only a small number at one tim< The establishment of the scholarship in textile industry by the last generji assembly will eonsiderbly crowd th lecture rooms and the machines, an we will, therefore, find difficulty i making room for the fathers of th boys, it' they come in large numbers. ?There will be no room in th dormitories for sleeping and in th mess hall for boarding, now that w have opened the college lo 700 boy 'I beret ore, it the farmers come the will have to secure hoard and lodgin in the neighborhood. .'1.?In order to master efficient 1 this subject of cotton grading it wi require two months or more constat' attendance at the college in dail work. Can the farmers spare this vali able lime from their farms? All thin* therefore considered the execnti\ > committee have thought it wise ! suggest that you recommend to tl r Farmers Union the advisability i I employing our graduates in th ? work of sampling and grading t] 1 cotton raised in South Carolina. ' this way the Farmers' Union will 1 ? giving employment to the farmei sons. The committee feels confide b that in this way much better wo e will be accomplished, and there t greater satisfaction given the fr t mors in their efforts to propei o market the cotton crop, >?
