C-, TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1908- 91*60 A YEAR. SLAYER OF FRANK DEAL PUT ON STRIPES WEDNESDAY. Is the Fourth White Man Within Fortnight to Begin Sentence for Homicide. Wie clip the following from last Thursday’s Columbia State: “With tears in his eyes and trem bling like a leaf, W. H. Mills, who shot to death Frank Deal March 25, 1907, near the Whitaker mills, in Cherokee county, yesterday told a re-’ porter for The State why he had tak en the life of a fellow man. ‘He ruined my home,’ said Mills, ‘and when brought face to face with him I could not constrain myself any long er.’ Mills had just been brought to the penitentiary by Guard W. S. Da vis and had had read to him the rules governing the life term he will serve. "The Mills case is about as well known in this State as any that has ever been tried in the courts of South Carolina. The trial was very sensa tional and after a hard fight a ver dict of guilty with recommendation to mercy was returned by the jury and the prisoner was accordingly sen tenced to life imprisonment. On the appeal to the supreme court a new trial was refused and Mills was brought bere yesterday. “A feature of the refusal of the su preme court to grant a new trial was the repudiation of the exception by the defense that there had been a motion to quash the venire of jurors because they had not, as alleged, been selected according to statute. The board of jury commissioners had se lected the panel with reference to whether a man was literate and liable to make a good juror and the su preme court commended this action. One of the grounds of the appeal was also that Mrs. Mills was not in court testify. The circuit judge, Hon. R. C. Purdy, had overruled a motion fOfe a continuance. Mills is one of fotfc. white men convicted of homi cide who have begun sentence within a fortnight.

Then he said that he knew my wife loved him. This last statement made water, her morality, and above all, her pretty girls.” Although Mr. Simms is a handsome young bache lor, and on that account his opinion may’ not be free from a certain amount of blag as to the pretty girls, the fact remains that he has express ed the sentiments of large numbers of the people who visit Gaffney. enactment of its General Assembly If these conclusions can be sustained by a consideration of the Constitution and statutes of the State, then it will be conceded that the proceedings in the Federdl Court were attempts to sue the State of South Carolina with out its consent, and the matters which that tribunal has undertaken to ad judge were beyond the jurisdiction of any courts, and therefore, Its orders of injunction no legal protection to the respondents. \ Relation to State. The claims of the alleged creditors, whose rights the Federal court under takes to adjudicate, are for alleged debts contracted in the operation of the State dispensary and the funds out of which that court is attempting to satisfy them were derived from the assets of the State dispensary. Therefore, in determining whether the suits in the Federal Court are for the adjudication of the state’s liabili ties and the disposition of the State’s property, and so not recognized by any court it is essential to ascertain the relation the State dispensary bore to the State of South Carolina.” The court reviews at length the es tablishment of the State dispensary and Its legal status, showing that it was held by the courts to be a part of the State government and the dis- such claims shall be judicially ex amined and adjudicated by the com mission. Consent of a state that it may be sued is not a contract and can be repeated or modified at any time at the discretion of the State, even after suit has been commenced, and when the consent to the adjust ment of claims against it by suit is withdrawn by the State, the jurisdict ion of the court in which the case is pending is at an end, and the suit falls to the ground. It follows, there fore, if the Federal court had juris diction under the original statute it came to an end upon the enactment of the statute of Fabruary 24th, 1908.” The conclusion. The opinion concludes as follows: “We hold that the State has not con sented that any court should adjudi cate he debts set up against it for liquor sold to it, nor has it consented that 8800,000 of the public funds held by its fiscal officers shall be admin- stered by any court and hence the Federal Court had no Jurisdiction to pass the order restraining the re spondents from paying out such funds. The author of injunction of the Fed eral Court, therefore, affords no legal protection to the defendants and their return is adjudged insufficient. The judgment of this court is that the pe titioners are entitled to a writ of mandamus from this court requiring the respondents constituting the State dispensary commission to pay from the founds in their hands to the State treasury the sum of fifteen thousand dollars for the use of the Attorney General as provided for by the statute of Hie State, approved February 24, 1908. It is a well recognized prin ciple, however, that the United States Supreme Court itself follows the de cision of the State Supreme Court in the construction of the State constitu tions and statutes and, of course, this rule is binding upon the circuit court of the United States. This court will not, however, assume that the con struction which it has placed upon the State constitution and the sta tutes question will be disregarded by the Rederal Court. The issuing of this peremptory writ of mandamus is therefore left In abeyance until the further order of this court.” James A.
