APRIL 20. 1908, TWICE A WEEK, 81.50 A YEAR PRITCHARG AWAY fe FOR SOME TIME 00 t, HE WILL MAKE SOME PROHIBI TION CAMPAIGN SPEIfCHES. ^ An Asheville Pa,per Discusses the Dis- t o? \ pensary Situation?Dr. Murray Oo *-i Missed Convention. p(1] ti ~ sul ft Willi Judge Prituhard' engaged with in I other court duties and speech-making wi V for six weeks, with Attorney General i (Lyon out of the State on business, it jn L appears that there will be a prolonged VOi | 'lull in the dispensary receivership n] I proceedings. The receivers are still jU! B holding any empty bag and no one as B seems to know just when they arc j<)i likely to make demands upon the dispensary commission for the funds for SUl which they were appointed to take (i(] charge of. tc, Dr. W. J. Murray of this city, chair- ,m man of the- commission, is president (.n of the Association of Wholesale Druggists of the South. This association mot in Savannah last week and Dr. Si>. Murray was very mxious to be prosent, but remained here to be on hand s|1( in case anything should drop as Judge .uj Pritchard had declared would' happen eo] at live end' of the live days. - j,js The Ashevillo Citizen of Friday publishes the following news story on p,.. the situation: ,.n "Judge Pritchard will leave this j., ^ morning at 8 o'clock and will be ab- 1:1. sent from the city for almost six nu weeks. The judge will make a prohi- j?0] bition address in Salem Saturday, ^ and, after spending Sunday there, will sjs pf go further east, wrtere he speaks, j) & Later he will go to Richmond to hold the May term of the court of appeals, which is expected to last several ;nv SB "No further action has been taken |B by the court in the matter of the BP South Carolina dispensary case, nor (t-(( M by the receivers, so far as is known j>0] H here, and it is regarded as highly u, B probable that the court will take no H action until the judge's return to B AshSVille, since any proceeding in the B case will call for an extended hearK ing, and the court will be disinclined B to take up the matter at a place in- ^ B convient to all concerned and espec m ially as he will have little time at hit? , disposal. ^ , | "Absolutely no information as to ra prospective action in the case except ?,-v I / that heretofore indicated is obtainable vj, ft here, but the best opinion is that eoi ft neither side to the case nor the court 0f jf wishes to take action which will cause <>a any conflict, and as the interests of an rthe complainants arc secured time will 0f probably be taken to allow mature St consideration of action by defendants. I "In this connection it may be said < ?> that a recent incorrect publication in sei a State newspaper has caused some of annoyance by, doubtless unintentionally, reflecting 011 both the judge of eu the court and the United States supreme court. Tt stated there had been corespondence bet ween the judge CI and members of the supreme court and that they were fn accord about the case. This is entirely erroneous sei and reflects on both rourts. The only correspondence was with Chief Jus- tic tice Fuller, simply, ft is said, in re- to sped to term of bond, and in which lit B matter Justice Fuller might advise, as pr ? lie has powers of a circuit judge in gr this division." no I? ? ?1 s?\ w Advertised Letters.
