In tho decision of the Court, by the.Chicf Justice, Hon. Y. a briejC history of the case is given. In I October last 'ihe ?flPPrP^f ?' ElUffefe signed a petition for the removal of the dispensary. No charges of misconduct I were brought against J. M. Weeks, the dispenser. The people wanted to be rid of tho di sponsary and did not hesitate to say so, all but half a dozen of the men'of that community having signed ?valof^thc 7 7?rJ L, ^rStteJ , JrPope,j liquor shop. ?? 'Clio jK'tition was acted tfpoaiby the board, on the 14th of December, and 'Mesons.. 'Towill and Boykin are recorded as having voted to grant the petition. Mr. Evans is recorded as having voted against the action of the majority, ?or he thought the State board tt*d UO jurhj diution. Dispei^r* Wttc8 th?i upealgl 1 to the Suprenie.Co#rtf?r, a.Wricfcf pj|W bibit?on to estop the decree of the State hoaitl. in his complaint to the Supreme Cqui*t, Weeks says "that no vote had been, taken by the qualified electors of 'flic county of Orangeburg to close dis pe\iHorics in said county ajj provided by ] aw. [' He also 'allogcs that no charges cause, 'ai)d that tne state poaru has no authority to clos^il dispd jsary except upon the order of the ma ority of the people of a county." ; ! After .summing;ilr/J these facts, the Chief Justice says/ "A Scrutiny of the powers conferred by 1?^ upon the boaixiof directors of ?be qtMo dispciy/3ry mi? t<? shoW ihat | any ??H er to close a dispensary once established has bdfIJ^forjod. by law. to said.board of directors ; but, on the contrary, the law confoi^ such power upon' a different tribinTOlv* Hb iuerV quotes the law as amended by Senator Bricq'a bill in 1904, and codtjjiled : Sr! "Apart from all this, such power in a board of directors of State dispensary might sei at naught the will of the peo-' pie, as expressed by their representa tives, legally chosen. As we have heretofore remarked, there is no power given to the State board of directors to close a county dispensary. The demur rer is overrule<T, and as any further consideration is not desired on the mer its we will grant the petition. "It is therefore ordered that the act of the State board of control is null and void and the writ of prohibition is hereby ordered to issue, restraining the respond ent from enforcing their resolution adopted on the 14th of December, 1904." Messrs. Moss & Lide, of Orangeburg, and Mr. William Elliott, Jr., of Colum bia, represented Dispenser Weeks. Mr. C. W. Wolfe, of Orangeburg, repre sented the people of Elloree. The ac tion of the Supremo Court means that no community can rid itself of the liquor curse, although that same community might not have wanted a dispensary I thrust upon it. It requires the vote of an entire county to give relief. We have just received a beautiful line of Rugs in different styles and sizes, and it will be to your interest to see our line before you buy.
