On thei<' \j? contrary, it is a refusal on the part of j jjr the defendants to do that which they a S/A have been directed to do by the slu- ' JfJjv tute. Therefore a suit instituted! ! against ihe defendants for the pur- j 1 pose of requiring them to perform the ( |Vj duties enjoined upon lliem by the s *7 statute is a suit against them as in- a I clividuals, and is not in any sense a si 1 Jesuit against the Shite. i :i | $ As hereinbefore state, it is insist.- j Huffed by counsel for the defendants that j <' |r tlie commissioners arc vested with Li ffli discretion and judgment to pass up-'!' f on the <|uestion as to whether or not j >' the claims of creditors are just and >y valid, and that, therefore, this court ! cannot interfere with such judgment t B or discretion. The rule that courts F. will not control an officer in the ex-;" v < ercise of discretion conferred upon j n ... f ltim is subject to (pmlilication. and ; I this is especially true in a court of a :v Kqnitv when its exercise affects in-,11 tV dividual rights. j I / It is well settled that the courts ' > j - % \ I nave tlie power to prevent an abuse ; t of discretion and require that it bell ;ffi exercised according to law and in J i such manner as not to uniusliv in- ' n L . , I y W) nil re property rights. in ' "Auditing officers will be required si , by mandamus to make their audit ac- ' ft cording to law.

I jfyjiw'.The Act authorizing the appoint- <' yn|( ent of these commissioners does not ! j ^undertake to give to them discretion j I j&as (o what claims to pay, but express- j |p|y directs them lo pay all just liabil- j B^jilies. Hence it follows that if a claim i fjjKwj* jnst their duly i< mandatory and !A'W'"'V possess no ju l->;nenl or discre- | ' ^VSRtiou as to its performance. j n EjiljS> It ajqiears I'rojjj the allegations (>f , < l^ffithe bill that these defendants have i I ready exercised lh<> discretion with 1 w hi ch they are invested bv auditing!^ ffi^'and adjusting several accounts claim- M S.nt.ed to be due. 11 Among other things it is charg-|f' W' ?d in the i.il! that the defendants J :i t|R have improperly managed the funds !s .ja placed in their hands. A careful con- Is j** sideration of the evidence fails to!'' sustain this contention, il clearlv a|>- ^ pearing that these defendants havej^ done no wrong in that respect, audi that I hey arc getillenicn of high char- ' acter and stan ling. i d 11 is iu>i-ted by eonnse! fci dt-- ^ I feiidauts I hat this suit is insiituted f solely \\itii a view of a\'oi?lin<> an i i- 1 j V'i'.-I ir.al ion < f lie ! ran-action-. lie- ' t wee 11 the Stale dispensarv and file 'I1 coinpiainl ami other creditors in llr". jn r v* purchase of wliiskcy and oilier >piri- ' I nous liquors. I'his contention is un- !'I founded, ina .much as this court will afford every opportunity for a com- 'i pie to and thorough invest igal ion-of any and all transactions connected j J. with the former management of the ^ State dispensary in the purchase of the goods, the payment for which is d n w sought. While the supreme court of South 'it \ Carolina has decided that Ihe Act au\ tliori/.ing the establishment of the JT State dispensary and the purchase j 1' ( and sale of whiskey by the State was 'si constitutional, it cannot be reason-IT; ably contended that in so doing tlulV fctalc was performing the functions usually exercised by a State neces-'t( , sar.v to preserve its autonomy and j maintain its sovereignty. Nor can it 1.7 \ 10 assumed that il was contemplated t the time of ilie adoption of the leventli aiuend'niont that a sowii.ii'ii State would ever engage in th.i mrchase and sale of spirituous liuors for profit. The State having seen fit to en^a^e 11 this business, ami at tin* same time ii deprive its citizens of the ri\?ht 0 en.uaie in such business in comet it ion with tin- State, thereby plac1 itself in a podti.in where it could I . wit!i consistent\\ avail itself of he immunity conferred by the elevlli amendment in a suit like the n.-' at har, in which it is sought to I'ilvct a debt contracted by the inividuals placed in control of such insiness with implied, if not direct, uthoritv to contract such debts. Having deprived its citizens of the iul.l It) emtaiie in this particular line j !' bu^i:i(ss, reservin." iiie ri .?ht to j 'tiiiinpoli/.e the suite tiirmiudi i; audits j ppninted for ilia! purpose, ii would j i.' manifestly unjust to peimit the dnte. under any eii cunislances wliato.-ver, to avoid the payment of debis niiiractcd by the purchase of .roods 'rum the sale of which it has derived j m.minus .-irofits. And even if this were a < iii against j St-ite treasurer instiiuled for the ecu very of finds set apart for the xpi'ess purpose of payimr the in.ebteduess thus coul i-?cted, as in this nstanco, it miu'ht well l:e questioned s to whether such officer could claim miuunitv under the 11th amendment. However, the court does not underake to pass upon this phase of the inestion, inasmuch as .lie record hows Hint this is not a suit auainst i State ollicial, or in any sense such i suit as is contemplated by the lltli mcndmetit. For the reasons hereinbefore sta?~ d. the court is of opinion that it has urisdiction and that the injunction leretofnre. issued should be continu.1 to a final hearing. At the time this opinion was ani on need counsel stated in open court hat I he attorney general of South 'arolina had made application to the lij reme court of tiiat S.ale for a uandamus Jo compel the defendants o pay over the sum of jJM.">.()()(), that .mount heinir appropriated by an Act if the legislature out of this fund to lie use of the attorney general, the ame to be used in prosecuting paries charged with violation <d' the aw in connection with the inananenent of the Stale dispensary. This id inn mi the part of the attorney cneral is in the nature of a surprise iiul was entirely unnecessary, inasmuch as this court, if proper appiicait?n had been made by the defendants u* the attorney y,oneral. wuld have iladly authorized the use of the same or such purpose, inasmuch as it apicars that after the payment of this iniouut there would remain i:i the ia:id> <if ihe defendants funds amply iiiOicicnt to satisfy all claims iuvolvd in this controvesy. This seems to le an unwarranted attempt to prooke a conflict of .jurisdiction bewee.i this court and the Stale courts if South Carolina. ION. F. B. GARY IS U. S. SENATOR.
