CLObE T , . tion apply to J. D. Trevathan. Justice Pope has consent-^ Flore nce f o. J. 8. JtpCreight, The Case Against J. M. James Carried to the United States Court—A Keg of Beer Seized. As the result of Judge Hud son’s latest decision the Dar lington dispensary is still hold ing forth. The anti-dispensary people have not, however, given up the fight. The Judge said in his decision that the remedy for Justice Pope’s order, where by the dispensary was opened, must be obtained from the Su preme Court or one of the mem bers thereof. Thifc course the anti-dispensary people will fol low ed to give their attorney^ Mes srs Nettles & Nettles, a hearing at Chambers in the Supreme Court room atCo.u nbiaonMon* day next. Another effort will then be made to close the dis pensary on the grounds that d stay of proceedings on appeal does not dissolve an injunction but only preverses the status quo, and that an order for a stay of proceedings cannot be given for a longer period than twenty days unless due notice, is given the other side that the order will be applied for, which was apt doneiathfi present case. The twenty days expire on Mon day. What will Justice Pope do? is the question asked now. Many inquiries have been made as to what has become of the case against J. Manigault James for violation of the dis pensary law. We are able to say that CVS. Nettles, Esq., went to Charleston last week and had the case transferred fiom the State to the Federal Court. The time for trial will be set as soon as possible. This is the test case made by the li quor men, whose intention it is, we stated sometime ago, to have the fight made in the United States Court. A ripple of excitement was caused yesterday by the seizure, by State Constable Garrison, of a keg of beer at the Atlantic Coast Line depot. At least it is supposed that the keg contains beer, as it is one generally used for such purpose and has the United States internal revenue stamp upon it. It is now in the Sheriff’s office and as it has not yet been opened it is not known positively what it con tains. The keg was shipped from Wilmington to J. Mani gault James by the Portner Brewing Company. At the hour that we went to press yesterday no arrests had been made, save that of the beer keg; no warrant had been serv ed upon Mr. Pegues, the agent of the railroad, nor anyone else. Mr. Pegues, when questioned by The News reporter in regard to the matter said: “We notified our headquarters at Wilming ton immediately after the seiz ure. No warrant was served. I asked Constable Garrison for papers, but he declined to serve any. He displayed his badge and claimed that to be sufficient authority and rolled the keg out and put it in the deputy sheriff’s buggy.” What will be the outcome of this ? If the keg contains beer the Atlantic Coast Line has vi olated the law in bringing it in to the State. THE INQLIS ARTILLERY. Th« Annual Reunion of tha Survivors of this Command.

It W«c Greatly Exaggeiated by the New-paper Reports. Recently articles appeared in several papery alleging that se rious trouble had arisen at Clem- son College. President Craig head published a letter showing that the reports of the trouble had been greatly exaggerated. There was some dissatisfaction on account of the laundry and the fare, but this was entirely due to, and was to be expected from, the fact that the college had just started. The cause of the dissatisfaction was soon re medied and the boys are now all well pleased. President Craigheatfs letter was admir able and had we the space we would gladly publish it in full. He makes it clear that every thing will be done for the com fort of the students, but for one to remain at the college he must conform to the rules and must study. The following resolutions in regard to the affair were adopt ed by the students: “Whereas, certain false re ports calculated to produce wrong impressions concerning the management of our College have been circulated by the Greenville Keivs of July 22, inst.; and, whereas, we consider it of the gravest importance that these reports be denied; therefore be it “Resolved, 1st, That we, the sophomore class of Clemson College, do hereby emphatically deny that there has been or is any ‘trouble Timong Clemson students, caused by the fare or mess arrangements.’ “2d. That we deny further that there has been or is any ‘mutiny,’ ‘strike or protest or concerted movement’ what ever. “3d. That we, considering the magnitude of the undertaking, this being the lirgest boarding college m the South, express ourselves as -well pleased with the management of the s^me., ‘4th. That a copj of the reso lutions be furnished the Green ville News for publication, hop ing that all other papers inter ested in the welfare of Clemson College will publish them. “R. H. Welch, “F. G.

Now, while this great finan- c i a 1 question is stirring the country, I hope and pray that South Georgia’s circulating me dium, the terrapin, will not be forgotten. Terrapins are used in South Georgia for money. If you give a big torrapin for a hat, you will get one, two .or three small terrapins in change. South Georgia b a s a right and will rise up and demand a free coinage of terrapins. If this is not done, the great terra pin farms will shut down and one section of the country wil be ruined.
