If ??ems that Irby and Shell met, hy accident, at fbe boase of a mutual friend. Irby charged Shell with baring seen the Farley tetter before publication, which Shell admit ted to be true. Irby asked Snell if be approted af the tetter. Snail replied that be did io part. Irby theo struck Shell, who was sitting: in s chair, and knocked both Shell sad chair over- Irby then drew a dirk and ?AamiOji towards Shell, bat test then a orate*! friend, a Mr. Cunningham, drew a revolver, intimidated Irby and compelled him to pat ap bis dick. It is surmised that Sen star irby was draak, bot be this as it may, it wa? a disgraceful affair. Coagreesman Snell is ?a old maa, being about 65 years old, aad Senate? Irby is about 36 or 37. Congress? man Shel! has shies written a letter verifying the tepnrto previously published except ai to Mr. Cuaaiagbam drawing a revolver. Mr. Cannie ghana merely held the irate Senator. Aa opportunity is now offered the public hythe Waic/iwin and Southron to obtain the Cosmopolitan iiagaxine and the Waiehman and 8&*t hr on for oas jear for $3.00. The Cosmopolitan i* one of the four leading illus, troted monthlies, and is, io every respect, tbr equal of those magazines that divide the honors with it. Tba subscription price of the Cosmopolitan bas heretofore been $3 00 per year, bot on Julr 1st the price was reduced, and by a special arrangement we obtained a farther reduction, the benefit of which we offer to our readers. Some of the monthlies should be taken io every household, if our people desire to keep abreast of the times and be fstsBiar with the current thought and liter? ature of the day. The most distinguished *'riter?'efld thinkers sad artists contribute to make " d?? CosmopoTitsh what it is-the triumph of magazine making. Wheo it is uinesabiired that the subscription prices of fbe ether fcadras monthlies ase ?till $3 50 to $4.00 jar year, the magnitude of the offer we make caa be apprecia'ed. Tbe editor of this ps per ba? bees a subscriber of th? Cos? mopolitan ever stefa lt ha? been nader the press?t management., and would not do with? out it ; therefore can conscientiously recom? mend bi* readers to arail themselves of the opportunity to ?btaia tbe Cosmopolitan for $1.00 per j ear, H?DSOK'S DECISION. Judge Hudson was appealed to for an in? junction against J. M. James, ex-saloon keeper of Darlington, on the ground that he was selling liquor and bis place was thug a public nuisance. Tbe papers were similar to those in tbe case against Cbicco, tbs Charles? ton liquor seller. Judge Hudson }& sa exhaustive opinion re? fuses to grabt the injunction, or issue the search Warrant as prescribed by tbe dispen? sary law. He bases bis refatal on the uncon? stitutionality of tbe act, and reviews tbe act aod sites authorities to sustain bis position. In conclusion he says : "The Act of December 24th, 1892, in at? tempting to eavoke tbe aid of tbe court of equity for tbe eaforcemeot of its prohibitory feature, bas conferred upon it erimina? juris? diction, destroyed the discretionary powers of the judge, aod lowered bia to tbe level of a justice of the peace, depriving him even of tbe discretion which that officer oogbt to exercise lo issuing so severe a ministerial process aa a search warrant. It converts tba coart of equity into a detective agency for tba discovery of offenders aad for the enforce men t of a penal statute. For. these reasons, tbe orders applied for are refused. Weilst tbe court sitting ia equity bas jurisdiction of as action to abate a public nuisance, yet aw injunction will aot be granted as long as eoe existence of tbe nuisance is doubtful. In such cass? it will withhold its baud until tba question of nuisance or no nuisance is didded by the verdict of a jury. Nor will a preliminary injunction be granted unless toe complaint is sup? ported by affidavits, dear, positive aod determinate; or, if made on information and belier, tbs sources of information, aad grounds of belief must be circumstantially aad definitely given. Tbe present complaint and affidavit are so fatally defective ia this respect that a preliminary or interlocutory injunction cannot be supported thereby. The search warrant is refused because it is a criminal process, and wholly foreign to equi ty jurisdiction. Judge Hodson bas tbe courage of bis con? victions and the ability to maintain them. There is no doubt about bis position, and even if wrong he so stetes bis views that bis opponents may take bold of them and show his error, if error foists, and they have tbe ability to do so. There is no quibbling or hedging, and all unprejudiced people must admire the sturdiness of tbe man, tbe fearless? ness of the judge wno adheres boldly to bis conviction aad declares them before ali osen, when be knows that by so doing he will bring upon himself the coodemaat?oo of the party ia power. Threats of removal from office and hst aeacbaxnt have so effect anon him. Be does trot loee tr?calas, judicial equilibrium, but writes as dearly and concisely ra the face of these threats aa be bas ever done since: be was elevated to the position he so honors. To-day Judge Hudson stands a bulwark Rgaiast encroachments on constitutional law1 and tba personal rights nod liberties of ?be , people, which such laws as that known as the: , Dispensary Act tend to uaiKfy and abridge. ' Judge Hudson is an honor tn the State, and j if the Legislature chops off bis official bead, as the leaders of the dominant element threaten j lo bave it do, he will be more honored by < retirement, ?oder the c&icmetaooe, than au ? indefinite continuance ?a tue bench obtained 1 \ yj construing the law te pisase those in1 ?

The Commissioners of Agriculture of the Southern States met in Conference in Atlanta, Ga-, last week, and among the many impor? tant matters discussed,: none took precedence ot toe question of regulating the manufacture aad sale of commercial fertilizers. This ques? tion bas been before the Legislatures of the various states time and again, and no satis? factory scheme has yet been devised. The conference io hope of having the question set? tled uniformly and satisfactorily adopted the following resolutions, which teem to be a step in the right direction : W HERR s, It is the opinion of this confer? ence that a uniform sj stem of control and r?gulation of tb? manufacture and sale of com? mercial fertilizers in tbe Southern States is important to both parties interested in tbe ose of fertilizers, equally to the manufacturer and dealer as to tbe planter aod farmer, therefore be it Risolre?, that Hon. ft. T. Nesbit, Com? missioner of Agriculture of Georgia, be ap? pointed a committee to draft a bill based opon the principle of the Georgia statute, upon con? sultation and correspondence with the com? missioners of the several states and exam?oa tion of the statues of said states and that he ?3 authorized to call a convention of the com? missioners of said states for the purpose of having said bill wben perfected adopted hy the l?gislatures of the several state?.

"I deserve much credit, do I ?" ??Well, I-, this is funny." r 1 I am mistaken in the Haskel li tes after a]], I thought they did have a little sense, but they aio t got any " "I wonder why they can't see that this financial disturbance has been a regular God? send to me ; that this state of afliare in finan? cial circles OHS been of inestimable service to ae in placing the new bonds ; that had specu? lative investments been on a safe footing, all ; free money would have been placed where ! large profits were off???ed, ? od roy little 4$ per | Cent, bonds would LO. have been noticed.

COLUMBIA, Joly 21.-Special lo the News amd Courier : Governor Tillman seems boot opon the ideo of getting a ease against the railroads or express companies for baoHng liqoor into the State. He to-day remarked that be wanted to know whether there was any ?irtne tn the la* or not and was per? fectly witting to have the Uw taken to the Supreme Coori for a. test. The Catawba Jonction ease ts at present the most tangible, bot from what Governor Tillman says aboot the Interview bo had to-day with General Manager Win? der, of the Seaboard Air Line, this line at least is not disposed to mshe Ibe test ease. There is not money enoogh tn it for them. Major Winder expressed a persoesl desire to some to some amicable under? standing aboot the matter, and Gover? nor Tillman said that be was disposed to hold ap on this particular ease provided the road agreed to comply with the- releo and regulations publish? ed by the State Board of control requir? ing due notice of the shipment to be made to Governor Tillman. Major Winder said that be was not quite posi? tive as to the duties of the road ss a publie carrier, and after further consul? tation Governor Tillman agreed to sus? pend operations in the Catawba Junc? tion case until some definite decision was reached by tbe Seaboard Air Line people. I asked Governor Tillman why be did not get a case against some of the anxious roads. "I am getting a case" be replied, "against the Richmond and Danville Road on its Charlotte, Colombia sod Augusta division, and I'll collar them every day in the year. If we get judgments they wilt be good some day. They cannot remain in tbe hands of the receivers al! the time. . HI enforce every claim I get." Incidentally Governor Tillman re? marked that while bis constables were hunting up the railroad ease they rao upon a case against the Southern Ex? press Company. It is generally believ? ed that the expreso company did not ex? pect to go into the Courts on its sup? posed rights as a common carrier un? der the provisions of the inter-state Act of 1890. Governor Tillman received the fol? lowing letter to-da y : ?.To Governor}*. R Tillman, Chair? men Board of Cot tirol of State dispen? sers-Dear Sir : Under the conditions of toe dispensary law as required by four board I notify you of a shipment )f eoe box of beer from Charlotte, N. C , consigned to Mrs. W. E. Glenn, C?rn? ico, S. C. It was forwarded this day From Rock Hill and received from the E&iobmond ami Danville Railroad at :hat depot. XTours truly, ?.E. P. Waring, "G. ?. A. South Carolina." In reply the following was sent : "Replying to> your letter of the 20th, jo vern or Tillman directs me to say that lotice by mail after the time for deliv? ery is not a compliance with the regula ions of the State board of coo tro'. The jcvernor most be notified by telegraph he time the liquor is received for ship nent, elsa the railroad employes will be >rosecupjd in every instance and suit j tegun -against the railroad itself. Very respectfully, "D H. Tbompkins, Private Secretory." Gove? ncr Tillman expects this role o hold in all cases. The constables st [lock: rlill bas been ordered to take out wv r ,nts, against the conductor who >rjnght and delirered the goods at Rook Pilli, aod to scour* tbe arrest of thc igent who transferred the box of beer, rle expects all parties to be bouod over r3r trial at the next session of the Crim? inal Court. Governor Tillman has another case in Edgefield County. The agent of the Rich mord and Danville Road at Ward's, ridgefield County, bas been arrested for delivering liquor. He bas telegraphed for instructions and bas been advised to give bond, or it would be forwarded from Columbia. Warde is seven miles from Johnson's, the nearest telegraph station and little is known of the case. Attorney General Townsend, with a great deal of pride, to-day said that the Darlington dispensary was open and was doing business at the old stand It appears that Major Towns3nd kept bis movements in the matter, and espe? cially his application before Justice Pope, very quiet# and that even his associates of the board of control and Commissioner Traxler knew nothiog about the matter. Gen. Townsend bas agreed to under? take the management of the case before Judge Bond io the matter cf the whis? key rate. A consultation was held to? day by the commissioners, Governor Tillman and Major Townsend upon the matter of counsel, and upon Major Townsend's decision that he could handle the case it was left to him. Under the statutes the Attorney General is the counsel for the commission. The railroad commission to-day re? ceived official notification that the Port Royal and Western Carolina Road intended to operate the new liquor rate announced by the commission This is the first and only railroad that bas ap to ibis time given any intimation of its purpose to operate the rate fixed by the commission. The prevalicg opinion is that most of tbe roads will make com? mon cause against the rate. Not for Personal Inspection. Governor Tillman to-day received the following self-explanatory letter: COLUMBIA. S. C , July 21 1893. Governor B. R Tillman, Chairman State Board of Control-Dear Sir : I beg hereby to report, J. M. Roaoh, county dispenser for Richland, for viola? tion of the dispensary in two parti? culars : First. That on the 20th day of July, 1898, be refused, on demand, to allow inspection of the records of ?he sales of liquor by him, in violation of Seotion 15 of the Dispensary Act. Second. That he sold liquors to several persons, viz; John M ey uer and others on the 20tb day of July, 1893. without n quiring them to state on the applica? tion for purchase "for whom and whose ! use the liquor is required," in violation 1 of the provi-ion of Section ll of the Di pensary Act, aud that he sold sun? dry persons liquors with even asking f ,r whom t was being purchasfd. Please let mc kuow how I can enforce toy right to* i?spee* the records given me under tb* Jaw. Very respectfully, W. B. Pe?bl?s. Governor (Till mau g?ve a verbat re? ply. Section 1?, b? Si??i referr?d to a record of the sales and purchases, and was not an individual fecord of sales. Any person could scfe the f eeo td of aggregate sales and purchases when? ever posted, but the individual applica? tions, could only be seen at the office of tbe county auditor, unless the dispenser cared to show them, which he bad t right tc do. As to stating "for whose ase." be thought it nattered but i little. Vf ben a name was signed it was reasonable to eipeet that thc party signing tbe application wanted the liquor for his own ose. Governor Tillman to-day said tbat he bad si ven orders that the daily sales should not be given out by dispensers.
