WILL FIGHT DISPENSARY
RECENT INJUNCTIONS CAUSE OF
THE ACTION.
J. P. K. Bryan Said to be Chief Counsel
in the Plan to Test Validity of
Carey-Cothran Act.
Charleston, Nov. 21.?The service
of the many injunctions during
the past week or two, restraining
dealers from selling liquor and property
owners and agents from permitting
its sale on their property isj
about to result, it is understood, in a
big legal battle to test the validity of
the Carey-Clothran act and the issue
of these injunctions.
Attorney J. P. K. Bryan has been
engaged by S. P. Schiaderessi, one
of the parties enjoined yesterday,
and it is understood that Mr. Bryan
is to be the leading counsel in the
distinguished array of legal talent
which is to attack the dispensary
law as it now stands upon the books.
It will be recalled that it was Mr.
Bryan who carried the famous Cantini
case before the late Judge Simonton
and secured an opinion that
the law was unconstitutional^ an
opinion which was afterward reversed
by the United States supreme
court. The supreme court allowed,
however, the importation of liquor
for personal use, a provision of the
law which has given the State its
chief trouble in the enforcement of
the act ever since it was announced.
The pending action will probably
be the biggest fight that has been
made against the dispensary system
- since Mr. Bryan's fight, and it is possible
that the present proceedings
may be of even greater scope and effect.
There are said to be several
features of the Carey-Cothran act
whose validity is questioned by the
lawyers, chiefly along the line of the
right of the county to sell where the
right is to be held only by the State,
:vv /. under the constitution, it is said.
NOT DISCUSSING MATTERS.
The lawyers are, of course, averse
to discussing their cases in the newspapers
and are very close-mouthed
as to what steps they will take, but
sufficient information has been secured
to warrant the statement that
a big legal battle is pending.
, A Appearances have been entered in
several cases by attorneys aqfl additional
appearances will probably be
?& entered before the cases are formally
heard next week. So far as announced
Mr, Bryan will appear for
- Schiaderessi; John D. Cappelmann
for the Charleston Rifle club; Logan
v and Grace for Riddock & Byrns, and
also for Pat Carroll; Mordecai,
Gadsden, Rutledge & Hagood for
the Charleston hotel; George Momeier
for the Turnverein and others.
In the array of counsel will be lawyers
representing the owners and
agents of property in which the alleged
violations of the dispensary act
have taken place.
It is on account of the property
owners and agents that a particular- !
ly strong fight will be made. It is
said that the owners of property can
not be enjoined legally, as they have I;
been under the services of the pa- (
pers recently and the lawyers having (
charge of these property interests
will present a strong case.
The dispensary situation was much
talked about today, especially in
\ blind tiger circles. The fact that
other injunctions have been prepared
and are ready for service makes the 1
dealers generally uneasy. None of 1
these papers were, however, served i
today.
UNDERTAKER EHBARRASSED.
Greenville ilan Pronounced Dead But
it Was a Mistake.
A special from Greenville to the
Spartanburg Journal gives a very interesting
story, about which nothing .
has appeared in any of the Greenville
papers:
"A prominent Greenville city of- !

malady for some time, was last night
pronounced dead. The undertaker ]
was sent for and upon his arrival the
supposed corpse turned over and j
opened his eyes upon those gathered
at his bedside. "There
was consternation among ;
the small group of friends and mourn- :
ers, and the undertaker, to say the |
least was much embarrassed." '
Bloody Fight in Georgia.
Camilla, Ga., Nov. 21.?Some <
young folks gathered at the home of :
George Vines near here last night j
for a frolic, when a bloody free fight <
took place, in which William Shiver,
the son of Gus Shiver of Camilla, was
killed, his brother Virgil Shiver was
badly cut, a woods rider named Ford
was terribly beaten and may lose his
eyesight, and Claude Fowler was
shot.
ALABAMA AFTER THE CLUBS.
Senate Passes Bill Adjunctive to Gen*
Aral Dmhlhltinn Rill.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 21.?
The Senate to-day passed the Carmichael
bill prohibiting the sale, giving
away or disposing of liquors in any
way in clubs. It prohibits exactly
what the Georgia law allows. The
bill will become effective January 1,
1909, in those counties where the
sale of liquor is to be kept up to that
time; in all others on the 1st of next
January. The general prohibition
bill was signed by the Speaker and
the President of the Senate to-day.

LAWYERS UP IN ARMS.
Spartanburg Attorneys fo Resist $25
License Ordinance.
Spartanburg, Nov. 21.?There
promises to be a lively fight between
city council and the lawyers of the
city as the result of council passing
an ordinance requiring all lawyers to
pay a license of $25 for the privilege
of practicing law in the city. The
lawyers are making a noise indicating
that they may carry the case into
the high Courts if the city attempts
to collect the license fee. It is understood
that unless the license is paid
within the prescribed time cases
against all attorneys who are delinquent
will be tried in the Police
Court.
Call to Baptist Laymen.
A call has been issued for a meeting
of Baptist laymen to be held in
Orangeburg during the meeting of
the State convention, the purpose of
which is to secure a more general enlistment
of the laymen of our
churches in missionary and denominational
activities. The meeting is
called for Sunday afternoon, December
8, and will probably result in the
formation of a laymen's missionary
organization in line with the movement
which is awakening interest so
generally throughout the country.
The call is being sent out over the
names of about forty prominent laymen
of the State, and will be received
by a dozen or more representative
laymen in each of the district
associations.?Baptist Courier.
Hobile May Secede.
Mobile, Ala., Nov. 21?Mobile '
anti-Prohibitionists were not joking
when they threatened to secede from
Alabama if the legislature voted the <
State dry. A large majority of the <
city's voters oppose prohibition and
will form a regular organization at 1
once, employ counsel and provide <
funds for formulating a plan by which
the city believes it will be able to cut :
itself loose from the State's control.
A legal campaign will be waged along 1
entirely new lines, and it is said it <
will probably be waged in federal in- .
stead of state courts. Leaders of i
the local forces say they will begin i
their warfare at once and believe I
they will be independent of the rest <
of the State long before the new law 1
takes effect, January 1st, 1909. i

INDOOR JASEBALL,
How the Great Winter Game
Has Advanced.
IT HAS BECOME SCIENTIFIC.
Numerous Clubs and Leagues Are Now
Scattered Throughout the Country.
Interesting Facts About the Game.
Originated In Chicago.
Indoor baseball as now so universally
played throughout the United States
and Canada is practically governed
by the same rules as those which ob!
J ^ tvi/\ in f Kn r* 1 n K_
uuueu at tut; initial ^amc iu iuc uu^r
house of the Farraguts in Chicago
years ago. It has developed many
players and a host of interested followers,
but in all the seasons the changes
in rules have been slight The principal
difficulty to overcome when the
game is started was the puzzle of making
the run from base to base after a
pitched ball. Precise calculation of
the time required for the catcher to
throw to a base as compared with the
time of a runner between bases (twenty-seven
feet apart) showed that the
stealing of second base depended on
the speed of the runner, provided he
started from first at the time the
catcher received the ball. Therefore
the rule was made that the runner
must not start "until a pitched ball
has reached or passed the catcher,"
and so well has this worked that the
same close play is found at second
base as when a player tries to steal In
the outdoor game under the old rule.
With this point successfully settled,
the other rules were more easily
evolved, and with the proper balancing
of the relative sizes of the bat and
ball to meet requirements the game
may be said to have started on Its successful
career.
Owing to the newness of the game
and consequent Inexperience of those
who played the score at first oftentimes
ran into large figures, the record
af the initial contest being 41 to 40.
A.s the play of the athletes improved
the result was much smaller figures
and more on the professional basis of
baseball, until now, with numerous
clubs and leagues all over the country,
the game has reached a scientific
standpoint hitherto unsuspected of fulfillment
It can be played in any hall of size
which will permit of sufficient light

the composition of the floor being
mmaterial, as the rubber soled shoes
equired to be worn will allow runling
on even the waxed floor of a
lancing hall. About the smallest size
or a playing floor is 40 by 50 feet A

greater freedom for fielding and runling.
The spectators are usually
ilaced in the right and left field, on

of the room used for play.
At first the sport was confined to a
,'ew of the social clubs ot Chicago,
vhich had organized a league, but of
ate years great strides have been
nade toward having the game spread
ill over the United States. Many of

md consequently extremely interested,

recently said that bacherlor

' Statistics prove that the criminals
of the world are generally those who

Barnes condemned the profession of
school teaching, which, he said, necessitated
celibacy on the part of
300,000 women in the Unitea States
today.
"There is no person happily married
who says marriage is a failure,"
said Prof. Barnes. "Devotion may
be called slavery if you choose, but
there is no man or woman who
knows the blessed institution of marriage
who will not say it is the enviable
and desirable state of being."
Colorado Will Be Dry.
Denver, Nov. 22?The prohibitionists
of Colorado are confident that
within 18 months the state will be
"dry," throughout and the saloons
will disappeared forever. The party
has never been more active in cam
paign and the leaders assert that
they will have a majority in the next
legislature. The sentiment is the
same as has gripped the Southern
states, where prohibition is gradually
gaining power until now they are in
control.
To Rescue White Slaves.
Chicago, Nov. 21.?Charges that
Chicago rapidly is becoming the
greatest "white slave" center of the
world and that a powerful syndicate
for traffic in young girls exists in the
city has stirred religious and settlement
workers to form a large organization
for the express purpose
of combating the evil.
At a meeting of nearly fifty ministers,
lawyers and settlement leaders

yesterday plans were iaia ior uie
work. A number of organizations
already have expressed their eagerness
to join in a crusade against the
traffic in girls.
Sen. Blease's Novel Scheme.
Senator Cole L. Blease, of Newberry,
has figured out a novel scheme
to regulate passenger rates on railroads.
He would have a rate of three
cents the mile on all passenger trains
making forty miles an hour or faster;
on trains making from twentyfive
to forty miles the hour, two and
one-half cents; on trains making under
twenty-five miles an hour, two
cents the mile. A party could choose
his train and pay the price accordingly.
He will probably introduce a bill
embodying his scheme at the next
session of the legislature.

SMILES FACING DEATH.
Miss Singer, Shot While Hunting Burglar,
Calls Wound Trivial.
Pittsburg, November 21?Smiling
grimly, though facing death, Miss
Eleanor Singer, who mysteriously
shot herself while hunting a burglar,
tried to calm her mother by telling
her the wound was trivial. On the
operating table at Pittsburg Hospital
the woman, when told she had a
slight chance to recover, told the
doctors to go head with their work,
and refused to take an anesthetic.
The Singer family, mother and two
daughters, live in a mansion, at 43
Maryland Avenue. Early Wednesday
morning the police report says there
I mas n nnisp downstairs, and Miss
Singer, who always slept with a revolver
under her pillow, started into
investigate. A swinging door flew
back, and pressing the weapon against
her breast caused the trigger to snap,
the bullet entering the upper part of
the abdomen and passed entirely
through the body. Miss Singer did
not cry when she was shot, but went
to a telephone and called physicians.
Last night the physicians at the
hospital were working mightandmain
to save her life. The young woman's
grit is a substantial aid. She declares
she will not die.
Incendiary Fire in Clinton.
Clinton, Nov..21.?The new fire/
department of Clinton acted nobly
last night. The wooden cottage occupied
by Mr. R. J. Burgess and
family, near the Clinton cotton mill,
was totally destroyed by what may
prove to be an incendiary blaze, as
no one was at home. Mr. Burgess
was in Newberry and Mrs. Burgess
was spending the afternoon and
night with a neighbor. Suspicious
circumstances point to the fact that
the house may have been set on fire.
Both the hose companies were
promptly on hand. The colored hook
and ladder company was forced to |
abandon the trucks, but taking the
ladders on the shoulders of the members
present, they rushed to the resThorp
was nothincr saved at
all from the burning building.
One of the prettiest girls in town
is a cashier in a barber shop, says
The Chicago Record-Herald. But she
is insufferably vain and can scarcely
spare time to short change, so busy
are her hands fluffing her lovely locks
and keeping her rings right side up
with care. She poses continually and
is constantly taking account of stock
of her many charms in the mirrors.
"Great guns, but you are vain!" exclaimed
a disgusted patron after he
had spent ten minutes of his valuable
time watching her maneuvers. "Indeed,
I am not vain," she pouted,
"for I do not think I am half as
beautiful as I really am."
