Flat Rock, N. C., Sept- 20.—It is evident that the State is losing time in trying to get Judge Simon- ton to modity his “original pack age” decision. Several times dur ing the brief hearing here to-day he stated that the principles and ruliugs in the Vaudercook case would apply. Whether that de cision will stand before a higher tribunal or not Judge Rimontou wants the issue made promptly, and he does not want a constant nagging at the decision, through technicalities and otherwise. It was also evident from what Judge Simonton said iu an off-hand way in response to a question from At torney General Barber, that be in tends to hold the shippers strictly to his definition of an “original package,” and that those who go beyond the limits of the Vander- cook case need not expect protec tion at his hands. It was also de veloped iu an off-band way that the misdeeds of au agent do not affect the rights of the principal so far as the principles involved un der the Vaadercook case are con cerned. There were four “origi nal package” cases to come up to day. They all went off on refer ences. This means that Judge Si mon ton did not care to consid er the affidavits offered, but pre ferred to have the evidence as to facts corns through Special Mas ter Heyward or some other suita ble person. Perhaps the next case *o come up before Judge Simonton will be relative to the right to establish agencies in towns which have pro hibition. It is said that such a case is coming from Cowpens. The Attorney General has advised that any agency at a place with prohi bition before the dispensary and not changed since should be clos ed. Judge Simonton announced to counsel to-day that under thsir injunctions the dealers could order new stocks of goods and continue in the pursuit of their original package business. The special liquor seized will not be released until after the case is settled, but seizures by the State only involve risks of costs and possibly con tempt proceedings. It does not stop the business, as Judge Simon ton says, it may go merrily ou under the Vanderoook decision. But when an agent is charged with being a copartner or selling to iinnkarde, these are facts that have to be inquired into by the Special Master. one Dollar ’phones. A Si hvaii'•!)

Most of it waa good, but some of it was bad, as one gentleman of well known detecting proclivities will this morning testify. He has, among other dollars, oos lead, or pewter, or zinc, or some metal that is anything else but silver. His name shall not be mentioned, be cause he would be ashamed to let people of thie city know tl^at » man of his peculiar alertness and clus following success could be caught with plain lead.

Iu answer to repeated inquiries from my patients I wish to state that I have been unavoidably de tained at Capon Springs, having been summoned here a few days after leaving Florence by one of my patients.
