brother of former Governor John Gary
Evans, to recover possession of Saiiv. i
beautiful chestnut sorrel mare wuh a

Air. Evans’ contention is that he won

He says mat Governor Eiierbe
bet him the mue against $-5 that be
(Eiierbe) would carry the county. Af
ter Evans’ brother had carried it. he
says, he reminded Eiierbe of tne wager,
ami Eiierbe gave him an order for the
mare, which, at the time, was in charge
of a horseman wiio was training her.
Governor Eiierbe denies ail this, ex
cept as to giving an order for the ware.
But the fact concerning that, he says,
is that, learning that Evans was going
to Savannah, where the mare was bc
iug trained, he accepted Evans’ offer •
bring her bacK with him, and so gave
him the necessary order.

Jast when he will withdraw is a mat

probability he will get out of the race
Wednesday. But he will not do so un
til he and his supporters have settled on
a man to become the nominee of the

doubtful, but it is generally conceded
that the fight will be between Judge W.

latter has the best chance, as Hunter is
said to be sore on Judge Holt because

of tiie Turks are declared to be much
greater than those of the Greeks.
Prince Constantine has returned to
Larissa from Gritzovali. where he wit
nessed some severe fighting. The Greek
reverse at that place was due to the fact
tiiat General Mastropns. who is in com
mand of the Greek artillery, misunder

Columbia. S. C . April 21.—The state
supreme court has reversed the action
of Judge Beuet in the matter of the
ruling of the Charleston attorneys for
contempt of court iu carrying the Pal
metto brewery case into the United
States court. The decision of the su-
pneine court in the matter is unanimous.
The court has had the case under ad
visement for some time, aud the decs-
ion has been expected daily for a mouth
past. This was an appeal from an or
der of Judge Beuet adjudging J. N.
Nathans, James Simons. Julian Mitch
ell. 11 A M. Smith, Huger Smkier, J.
H. Dowdier, A. F. C. Cramer aud E. U.
Sparkman guilty of contempt.
The alleged contempt was iu disobe
dience of an order appointing a receiver
for the Palmetto brewery and eu joining
creditors and stockholders of tlie brew
ery from prosecuting auy action against
the company except iu the cause pend
ing iu tiie circuit court. On an appeal
. taken from tins order, this court re
versed the same on the ground that the
complaint iu the cause did not state
facts sufficient to justify a court of
equity iu displacing corporate control of
tiie company’s property ai tlie suit of a
Stockholder.
A preliminary question was argued
whether the reversal of that order out of
winch contempt proceedings grew would
operate to annul the contempt proceed
ings. Tiie court holds that the order of
itijanctiou by Judge Beuet was not
void, but was merely erroneous aud

Washington, AprH 21.—The agricult

from all parts of th« country for beet
sugar s<-ed. In view of the uiisar-tsfact-
ory prices received for staple crops dur
ing the past few years and tl.e pros
pective increase in tlie duty on sugar,
farmers in all sections of tlie Union ev
idently intend to experiment with beet
sugar culture.
Heretofore beet fucar pr iwing has
| been confined almost exciu-iveiy to Ne
braska. K-in«a* and California. The
j agricultural department hr,- s*:it beet
seeds this spring to about 30 states and

In Nebra-w# a sugar refining company
donated live tons ot beet seen to the de
