Another Step Taken in the Dispe sary Case-Federal Circuit Judge Pritchard Issues Order Against Two Colum bia Attorneys. News and Courier. Richmond, Va., November .14. Further complication in the celebre ed South Carolina dispensary case di veloped yesterday when, after all d; conferences with .attorneys represer ing the Wilson and ,Fleischman di tilling companies, Judge Jeter Pritchard, of the United States e: cuit oourt, issued an order comman ing Archibald W. Ray and Dune: C. Ray, the latter a prominent attc ney of Columbia, S. C., to appear b fore him to show cause why thi should not be punished for contem of court. The attorneys at the conferene were T. Moultrie Mordecai, of Cha leston, S. C.; Frank Carter, of Ash ville, N. C., representing the Wils< company; A. S. Barnard, of Ash ville, N. C., and G. B. Lester, of Ci einnati; 0., representing the Fleise man interests. The complainan made a motion the.t the Ray brothe be ruled for contempt in seeking have Judge Pritehard 's orders, which he took charge of the dispe sary funds, set aside or abrogated such an extent as to allow them to i cover, the amount of the claim up, which A. W. Ray procured a writ mandamus from the supreme court South Carolina.. Judge Pritchard 's rule is retur able December 21 at Greenville, S. The whole trouble arises out of t suits brought by the Fleischm; company and others against the coi missioners appointed to wind up t affairs of the old South Carolina di pensary board of control on claih for whiskey purchased by the boa from~ complainants before the ins tution was abolished. The commissiners constitut thems.elves as a court, and proceed to take testinmony as to ,the vario elaims, and in many instances refus to allow the full amount claimed1 the parties, and in the case of Ullm. & Co., held that insten.d of the Stn being -indebted to that con:cern, it re: ly owed the State several thousa: dollars on account of rebates, whi the commissioners claimed had be paid to the former board of contri and also on account of the fact th the goods sold to the board were so at a price higher than that eharg other consumers. The complainants then brong their 'laims before Judge Priteha1 in the Federal court at Ashevil which was hotly contestedl by the em: missioners, on the ground that t commissionl was itself a court, a: that Judge Pritchard did not ha - jurisiCtion. Judge Pritchard, however, assum - ed jurisdiction, and appointed receiv ers to take charge of the funds. Upoi 10 this an appeal was taken by the com 58 1 mission to the United States circuil 12 court of appeals. wherein Judg< 30 Pritcliard was sustained. The case is now before the Uited States supreme court, for the com mission having applied there for writ of certiorari. A. W. Ray pur chased a claim against the commissioi of .$354.35,--and brought suit againsi the commissioners in the State court and recovered a judgment. This however, the commissioners were un able to pay, under the former ordei of Judge Pritchard, and did refuse t pay. Ray,thereupon went to the su preme court of South Carolina and procured a writ of mandamas to com LO pel the commissioners to pay tha judgment. L. The present contempt proceeding4 are instituted on account of the at )9 tempted violation of Judge Pritch ard's order, which is to the effect thai e. no amounts shall be paid out of thE M0 fund, except by an order of his court. ).5 FEf PEOPLE I 0WITH CASH Our customi i7 A check acci Bank will e 50 difficulties funds as YOL Your busine comed. . )8 Vf THE EXCHAN( of Newbi J.
