CONTEMPT RULE ISSUED.
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.

the judge, buried in his work, his
quarters adjoining those of Secretary
Carpenter. where the typewriterb
were flyinz at express speed. There
were books., papers. copying presses
and sundry other evidences of busi

on the threshold I beheld a plain axe,
but was assured that its use was for
opening boxes only, and that its red
top was symbolic of nothing but its

Winter Pies.
In cold weather one may save much
time by making a quantity of apple
or mince pies at a time. Put them in
some cupboard outside, where they
will freeze and remain frozen until
wanted. The day you wish a pie for
- dinner, bring in one in the morning,
thaw out, and bake. Pies kept in this
way will be as good as if just put
together.-National Magazine for No
