This, for instance, is the situation with reference to the Charleston hotel, which is owned by (lie New . Charleston Hold company, the com- 1 pany being made corespondent with j ' the lessee.-. b'iddock iV; I'yrus. The c opinion in this rase is the same praeIically as in the oihers.

That petitioner is informed" and Ivolieves that the New Charleston Hotel company is a corporation duly incorporated and organized under the I laws of this Slate and is doing husi- I I "ess in this Stale with its principal ? place of business in the city of Char-I i lesion. I hat said corporation is theii owner of die property mentioned in , Paragraph 1 of this petition, to wit : i 'I hat certain parcel of real estate sit- j j Mated in the 'Cily of ('harlestou. in.;, said Stale, on the east side of Meet-j | i"g st reel, ol said city, and known as j . the ' New Charleston Hotel Company,' j which property is leased and rented i , to the respondents, liiddock & ityrns, ! | and used by them as herein before al- i )eged. That petitioner is informed and i 'believes t.ha.t tiie respondents, said .] New Charleston Hotel company, wil- i tully ami with full knowledge, per- i mils its said property hereinbefore \ described to he kept, used ami main- i tained by the respondents, Kiddock 1 & Hyrtis, and Krnest Brown, as a i place where persons are permitted to resort for the purpose of drinking al- : eoliolic li<piors and beverages, and where alcoholic beverages, wnfen nxvj not been tested and found to be pure * and free from poisonous ami deleterions matters, are sold in violation of j the laws of tiie Slate. That said j | place maintained, used and kept by j said liiddock & Myrns ami Krnest ( lirowu, as aforesaid, is not a dispellwary or a place where alcoholic liipiors and beverages may be sold according 1o law, but is a common nuisance, and is so declared by the Act of the Gonvral Assembly above mentioned, ap- ' proved February 1(5, 1007." 1 Hotel Company ? AnswerIn the answer of the New Charleston Hotel company it is alleged that the company on August 3, 100-1, leased to Kiddock & Byrns the Charleston hotel premises with all the furnishings, fixtures and appurtenances for five years, commencing on November 1, 1001, and ending on October 31, 1000, and that upon the execution and delivery of the lease the respondent company relinquishes control of the property. The answer continues: "That if the allegations of the petition herein are tru'e, as to the illicit and improper sale of liquor on said promises, this respondent submits that it is not liable therefor, nor can its property or itself he enjoined because of alleged illegal acts of its tenants." Opinion of Court. The opinion of the court is as follows: "It is alleged in the petition that tlio N-ew Gharlieston Tlotel company willfully and witli full knowledge, permits its said property to be kept, used ( 4 ' . . . l'i'r .. - and maintained by the respondents, Itiddock & Byrns and Ernest Brown as a place where persons are permitted to resort for the purpose of drinking alcoholic liquors and beverages. This is not denied. The New Charleston Hotel company, therefore became a party to the violation of Section 21? of the dispensary Act (approved the Kith of February, 1907,) which provides that all places where persons arc permitted to resort for the purpose of drinking aloholic lienors or beverages, are hereby declared nuisances." 'Therefore, there is no reason why the New Charleston Hotel company should not likewise be enjoined i'rom maintaining the said nuisance. In the L-ase of Dobbins vs. United States, (i llii till."), the principle was announced that if the owner of land permits it in be used as a site for a distillery, llie law places him on the same footntr :is if he was the distiller, and the and will be forfeited for the unlawful acts and omissions of the (lis- , i!!* r. jn-t as if lie were the owner, vt 11 if the owner was ignorant of , audi fraudulent acts ami omissions. ''As was said by Mr. Justice Jones, : n commenting on said case in Moody 1 ,'s, McKinncy, 7J S. ('., -IJS, the own r of the property voluntarily leased I for the purpose of a business, when ie knew, or ou.^ht to have known, that ortfeiture would I'o'fow if the busiiess was not conducted as required by ' aw. "The New Charleston Hotel comtany has no just cause to complain f it is enjoined from maintaining a uiisamv, which it has helped to . reate. I 'It is the judgment of this court hat the respondents be perpetually njoiued from maintaining, using and iceping said place, where persons aiM icrmitted to resort, for the purpose if drinking alcoholic liquors and bev ra.iies, and from permitting persons o resort to the said premises for the nirpose of drinking alcoholic liquors iud beverages." COMES BACK AT HEYWARD. rlartin Says if He Slung Mud it Was Not of his Mixing?Took Heyward at his Word and Inspected His Record. Hon. O. B. Martin, State superinendeut of education and candidata 'or the 1'nited States senate, has giv- ( n out an interview replying to the eply of Governor 1 ley ward to Mar- 1 ill's attack on him last Friday. Mr. Martin said: " t here are a few small matters I r. K.\-( iovernor I ley ward's interview ivliiih I wish to note in order to keep li'e recoid straight. I did not know I .bout the testimony as to his method I conducting his gubernatorial campaign in Spartanburg county when I !>ronounced the little eulogy upon him ast summer. 1 missed that testimony lomehow, if it was ever published. My iltention was called to it soon after Kx -(iovernor 1 ley ward's announce-1 nent. Since 1 know about the testinony I do not feel called upon ti> vithdraw any complimentary remarks n regard to his courtesy and our relations while we were fellow officers n the Capitol. j ' (iovernor lleyward says that he s 'surprised and sorry that Mr. Marin lias seen fit to begin the mud dinging in the senatorial campaign.' That's funny. If there is any mud in my letter it is of hi* own mixing, for t all came from itis own play house. I was very particular to adhere strictly to the testimony before the inves-I iirating committee and 1 spoke from my own knowledge in regard to Governor lleyward being a post-mortem candidate. "In his announcement for the sen-I ite Ex-Governor lleyward invited consideration of his record. I simply took him at his word. I think the time was opportune to say something I about the use of money in elections. I do not think it is right or legitimate to put a fellow in charge of a cam-1 paigti in a county and give him liberty and license to draw upon a sympathetic banker for funds to use in an election. The responsibility cannot be shifted in such cases. It must rest with the principal. T propose to denounce the use of money in this way. It is entirely appropriate for me to inject this issue in order to try to prevent just such things as men I swore occurred in Spartanburg. I long ago adopted the principle, 'when you are right you cannot be too vigorous; when you are wrong you cannot be too careful.' j "I shall be free to discuss any man's public record and to debate any j question bearing upon this race, but that man may have tho 'satisfaction of knowing that I shall confine myself to the record and the truth. If I differ with Governor Heyward upon some of his public aots In regard to I >,' . , S'.i. . "N . ' * immigration, l'or instance, I certainly ought to be able to quote his record without 'throwing- mud.' If my position on currency reform should not agree with that of the president of the Columbia Rank and Trust company, then I must not be denied the privilege of free debate. 1 am amused that some newspapers seem to think that I get mad every time T write a .simple little epistle in ordinary language. No, 1 don't Kt*t mad. It is not ire. I have a lot of fun every time. Why, \ enjoy it If I can roll a ball of truth and'"knock down a bunch of political ten pins, it tickles me to see them fall. I want to say, here and now, thai political prophets, who have nothing else ! > do, shall not decide I lie coaling election before the campaign opens, and while those who are reallv uoin^1 lo do (he voting are bnsv at work. | wish to say also that Hie man who is elected lo 'represent the State i?f South Carolina in the Cniled States senate will get. during the coining campaign, enough intellectual drill, parliamentary training and forensic gymnastics to aid him materially in lis subsequent career."
