I VOL XLV NO. 93 ' NEWBERRY. S O.. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 20. 1908. ^ TWICE A WEEK. $1.50 A YEAR W REFUSED TO ENJOIN SOCIAL In W CLUB. ? Declines to Make Permanent a Tern- a: 1 pora.ry Injuction Against the City i t W Club, of Columbia, Which l? (fc Had Been Charged with w m Violating the Dis- tl M pensary Law. r< V News and Courier. ni m Columbia, November 18.?Judge ai J? Gage today refused lo gran I a perma- st a nenl injunction against an alleged C S blind tiger social club in Columbia. h, ft This is I lie first time that the court t< W has refused to grant such injunctioii * on petition of the attorney general, e< and there are now in olTect a large is S number of such injunctions against h, 1 alleged blind tigers in Charleston and ei 1 Columbia. ti > The ease brought before Judge 11 gF Gage today was that of tho City Club, h A at No. 1 .'52!) Main street, of which Jeft ; Delay was manager, and M. 1?. Splg- II Jj ener the owner of the premises. On e< October 14. 1008, Judge Cage grantfj od a temporary injunction on pcti- b 1 tion of |he attorney general, the pe- .M # ' tition being similar to the petitions in s< ?'' the cases brought previously in I his G R city and Charleston in such cases. In l? ft support of the petition a number of: J'1 flr afiidavits were presented, one of them H being from !. |{, Ilaynes. bettei ( hp known as "Hob" Ilaynes, formerly I|j of Greenville, who swore that on sev- H m oral occasions in June, July and AuHfi gust of Ihis year he visited the City B Club, in company with one or more G V persons, and was on his first visit, on || June 21, given a card of membership ni A in the club. At that time W. 11. (': I "NVolfe was manager, Wolfe having H formerly been dispenser in this city '' jif from which position he was discharg- n od U t year. Ilaynes again visited '' I the /'ub on July 4 and August 25, I*1 and /ach time purchased beer or whis- I" J key for himself and his friend accotn- '(1 | pi.? /'ing him. The club, it was staled ywas fitted up with a counter side- C b. A I'd, el' >"s. ice box, whiskey and s' | bc/er gla>Srj?V>, so forth. h An affidavit ii?>in Major Micali 1>I Jenkins, collector of internal revenue, " set forth that the club had a license 1 as a retail whiskey dealer from the. ^ United Slates government. I> An affidavit from Peter Grites, the K well-known Greek fruit dealer, whose w shop is on the frist floor below the club rooms upstairs, set forth that he subrentcd the rooms to Wolfe, and ! that Wolfe subsequently sold the club to Delay. r, In his return Mr. Maynard R. Spigener, who is one of the most prominent and reputable citizens ot j, Columbia, stated that he rented the premises to lv 1). Dent, green grocei, and that Dent subrentcd to Grites ? and others: that when he suspected (), that the sale of whiskey was beim; ,,| permitted lie warned Dent, and Dent ;s promised iiim that I he building would ] not be used for an unlawful purpose. |) Mr. Spigener was represented at the pj hearing today bv Mr. John J. MeMa- 0.. han. In his return Delay stated that the |H elnb \v:is a regularly chartered social organization, and that the room* vv were not used for an unlawful pur- S( ]>ose. That he is a tinner by trade ni and works at his trade by dav, bin ? was elected manager of the club, ami S( served only the members with drinks. |N Tie denied the allegations in the alii- < I davits bv Ilaynes, and said he had nnever sold Ifavnes oi riie others nam | ed whiskey, lie set up that his repu- jf | tation was \'alnable to him as a working-man. nml that the allegations made r' in the pel it ion were damaging |o him. " Judge Gage, who is now holding '' civil court here, heard the returns this morning, and Assistant Attorney j* I General DcHruhl appeared for the petitioner. Judge Gage desired before deciding the case to have the parties brought before him and Delay was examined n. rsonallv as well as Grites. / The statements of Delay, who is a ^ j well-known character around town, j j \' evidently impressed the court favoiablv, and Ik* said he would decline It, > grant Ihe permaii'Mit injunction asked for. ITe remarked that such clubs as these were the only pleasure resorts M permitted lo the poor man. and that b< their enjnvnienf appeared innocent ol and should not be interfered with th without evidence tlint they were vio- j ft I 11ithe law. The case of the Congarec Gun Club as also to have come up today, 1ml Sj i Mr. Bellinger, who represented the >spondcnts in this case also, desired > attend the funeral of a friend, it as postponed. Mr. DeBruhl stated mt in this case he would ask for a .)< ference to take testimony. The u lanager of the Congaree Gun Club! lentioned in the petition is Ed Poat, re nd Hie location is pu.st across the reet from the location of tho City so luh. Bo Ih clubs ai'e not closed and nve been since the service of the pi 'inporary injunctions. Ci The action of Judge (Jago excited IV msiderable comment today, as this. the first time that such a petition S; ;is been refused. The attorney gen- Pi 'al has secured a number of injuuc- a\ ons against alleged blind tigers in w lis city and Charleston, and in near- si every case his petition has beet. Ki ranted without any delay. Most of w ie temporary injunclions were secur- d< fl from Associate Justice fjarv at tli bbeville, and were made permanent tli y the supreme court, but circuit di id"os have also signed the orders in I'; >me cases. The refusal of Judge II age lo grant the order prayed foi day was evidently n surprise to the fu ilminist ration. (.|, CJAPT.

Death of Mr. Jno. S. Barre?Protracted Meeting at Baptist Church'? Personal. Prosperity, Nov. 1 i).?Prosperity lias had an unusual share of mortalities within the past three weeks. When the message conveying the sad intelligence ol' the death ol" Mr. Jno. S. Barre, a former popular citizen, was received Thursday, much sorrow was in evidence. Mr. Barre had been in Leesville for the past six inontlis. lie had been ill only two weeks witii typhoid fever. 11 is remains were, brought here Friday morning and interred in the Prosperity cemetery the I same afternoon. Mr. Barre will be greatly missed by those who knew and appreciated him. IIis kindness of heart, his generosity and his many other admirable traits made him a general favorite wherever lie went. llis death seems doubly sail from the fact thai his wife is critically ill with lever at her father's home in Johnston, and sustained a relapse on hearing of his death. Mr. Barre is survived by his wife, nee Miss Varie Odom, and one interesting little bo\ Iradell, a brother, Mr. ('has. Barre, of Newberry college; Mrs. K. Baker, ?>! (Ireenwood: Mrs. Frnest Werls, and Misses May Lee and Kale Barre, of Prosperity, and many relatives and friends. The floral offerings were a beautiful outward manifestation of th?: liiirli esteem in which Mr. Barre was held, for he sleeps beneath a white and fragrant mound. The funeral services ;tt Mrs. Werts' were conducted bv his pastor, Rev. Mr. Kreps. The services at the grave were underl I he charge of the local Masonic Order. assisted by Masons from Newberry.

Some of our contemporaries arc ' remarking thai certain of I he Ten- | nessee newspapers are indulging in ! immoderate discussion of the killing; of Senator Carniack, and it has seem- ' ed to us that loo much has been said j about it in lieal and passion. The I going armed upon the streets of: Nashville, shooting and to shoot, wa> j an atrocious crime on the part of the! Coopers, and it was a foolish tiling j to do, besides; no one excuses the < Coopers, but editorial writers should ' not lc?.?e their head> on that account. \ For example, it is wandering a lillbfrom accuracy to describe the I rage- ; dv as one strictly of new-paper on- ' gin, and so one may exaggerate the matter ol (In1 "freedom of the press" as involved in it. Although the expressions that gave "llomv to the Coopers wore editorial expressions from the pen of the editor ol the Tonnossooan, Mr. Carmaek, hat gentleman was mmiefhing more than an editor. A larger part ol* his career was given (<> political activities than to journalism. Between the newspaper editor, absorbed in the luties of his era ft and loving then,, ami tlM. e,litor-poliii,.ia,it the difference is wide and not easily reconciled. Mr. Carniack two years ago was a I nited States senator and candidate reelect ion -not as editor. Last summer Mr. Carniack was a candidate l"r governor?not as editor, lie had been engaged in newspaper Work loss I han two months when lie was killed; had boon defeated in a contest acrimonious ami strenuous, and the question may well arise whether 01 "<>l ho could have boon expected lo preserve i lie poise ami judicial athImle that the editorial director of a newspaper s!ioiil,| have. Is the field loader capable of coininonlal ing calmly and judicially upon the campaign immediately after iho last decisive engagement We fl,i,,|< j, |:1 i 1% to say thai Mr. Carniack "s arlielos may have been the expressions in I''"'1 ,l,<' politician ami partisan, much as t hey were also the utterances el his newpsaper. To say that lhe\ H|,,e vv?nld be to suppose that he was more than human in his power to separate himself as an editor from himself as a man subject to ordinate emotions. Hie editor of a newspaper should be a politician to the extent of cherishing ambition for ollico. 'null I I era noes of newspaper should not h(' those of a man looking for political proferment for himself. Mr. Carmaek was not an active P??lil ician when ho was killed, but it is ?"' g.'nigloo far to say thai l.is blood had not cooled from the exertions of Ins lns{ pnlii i(.;i) mnflid. 5*,C " * s'! *i* J.'; ^ * WHITE RIBBON ECHOES * * * * * * * * * -:< * * * * * * \N e have a Slate paper now, abl\ ?;?l"?'d by Mrs. \j.
