The Dispensary Cases.
Liquor Commissioner Mixson
Ruled For Contempt by
Judge Goff
Two State Constables in the Same
Uncomfortable Box, by Goff's
Order.
The hearing of the dispensary
injunction cases about which the
whole country is talking:-the hear?
ing which began before United States
Circuit Judges Goff and Simonton
yesterday morning, was productive
at the very outset of a sensation of
no inconsiderable dimensions. As
was surmised. Judge Goff promptly
ruled State Liquor Commissioner F.
M. Mixson and two members of the
liquor constabulary force for the
disobedience of his order of injunc?
tion, and this morning they will have
to appear before the judge and show
cause why they shall not be attached
and punished as the judge sees St for
contempt of the court. Goff does
not seem to have that much talked
of legal gaff for nothing, and it is
now getting in its work again.
What the result will be it is hard to
tell, but it is thought that Judge
Goff will, be pretty severe on Col.
Hixson.
All will recall that recently, upon
the ground that the dispensary law
was unconstitutional in many parti
culars, and esseotially because of its
violation of the interstate commerce
laws of the United States, Judge
Goff issued a temporary injunction
restraining all the State liquor au?
thorities and their employees, officers
and agents from interfering in any
way with liquor shipped into the
State from pointe outside the State,
either while in transit, at the point of
destination, or in the hands of the
consignee.
The State authorities proceeded to
disregard the order and Commissioner
Mixson issued the following circular
of instructions to the constables ;
COLUMBIA, S. C., April 25, 1895,
Circular Letter to State Constables :
Sir : Enclosed you will find three
kinds of certificates "to be used only
as follows : One to bring goods into
the State, one to carry goods out of
the State and the other to ship goods
from point to point in the State.
The latter ones will be used by every
one who does any shipping in the
State, including the shipping from
the State dispensary to th3 county
dispensaries and elsewhere, and by
the State constables in shipping to
the commission here. You will see
that ?he blanks are properly filled in
and you will be particularly vigilant
to catch any packages going from
place to place in this State not bear?
ing the proper certificate and in tak?
ing packages shipped into or out of
the State, u?less properly stamped.
You will also find twelve of the certi?
ficates for your own use. Send into
me any others you may have on hand.
F. M. Mixson,
State Commissioner.
When the court had been called to
order yesterday morning, the judges
having taken their seats on the
bench, Dr. Pope rose aud said :
"May it please your honor, I am j
sorry to inform you that your tem- j
porary order of injunction has been
disobeyed in many pait;culars "
Dr. Pope then read the circular
letter given above and handed it up
to Judge Goff. This done he read a
proper affidavit in regard to it.
Judge Goff conferred for a few j
moments with Judge Simonton and j
very quickly made the announce- i
ment : "A rule may issue at once j
against Mixson, the party issuing!
this circular, to appear before me, j
requiring him to show cause why he
shall not be attached and punished
for contempt of the court, returnable
at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning." j
But this was not all.
AFTER TEE CONSTABLES TOO.
Dr. Pope then rose again and pre?
sented an affidavit stating that State
Liquor Coustable A. T. Davis, had j
'seized at the depot in Columbia a
barrei of beer, shipped from Augus-1
ta, Ga., to D. H. Gobie, Mr. Goble j
making the affidavit.
Judge Goff-Let a similar rule !
issue against this constable to show |
cause why he shall not be punished
for contempt.
Once mere Dr. Pope rose. This I
time it was an affidavit from Levi E !
Folk, of Silver Street, stating that j
Constable S. G. Lafar had seized
some liquor shipped from Richmond,
Va , to him Judge Goff once more j
said : "Let a similar order issue in !
this case "
Then Dr. Pope bobbed up again
and proceeded to read a couple of j
affidavits reading on "information and
belief."
Judge Goff stopped him and said :
"That kind of an affidavit is insuffi?
cient. It 6eems to me that you
would have gotten ali the parties
who suffered in this respect to make
the affidavits. It seems to me that
yon would have no trouble in this re?
spect. 1 would like to have all such
cases before me at once "
Dr. Pope-Your Honor, it is some?
what difficult in a short space of time
to get all the consignees to make the
proper affidavits
Judge Goff-Well, these are suffi?
cient to test the principle. They
will bring the matter up fully.
THE MIXON* RCI.E
The following is the order which j
was served on Commissioner Mixson, j
who soon after the fun began c
into the court room and took a
by the Attorney General :
The United States of America,
trict of South Carolina-In
Ciruit Court, Fourth Circuit
Equity.
James Dunbar vs. John Gary Ev
Governor of South Carolina, I
iel H. Tompkins, Secretary
State, and James Norton, Co
troller General of the State
South Carolina, all ex-officio H
bers of the State Board of Con!
and Francis M. Mixson, Corni
sioner of the Dispensary.
Upon hearing the affidavit, anc
motion of Messrs. Caldwell and P<
attorneys for compliant, it is
Ordered that Fraud's M M?X?
Commissioner of the Dispensary
show cause before this court on T:
day, the Ith instant, 10 o'clock a.
why he should not be attached
contempt in disobeying the order
the said court heretofore granted.
NATHAN GOFF,
Circuit Judge
CHARLES H. SIMONTON,
Circuit Judge
May 6, 1895.
Orders identical with this w
issued in the cases of the two coni
bles.
Judge Goff then turned his atl
tion to the cases in hand, lt was
veloped that there were two cases
the equity court-that of Dun
and that from Charleston of Jar
Donald. There were several ot
cases from Charleston, coming up
demurrers.
The Attorney General said that
asmuch as they all involved the sa
questions identically Le was perfec
willing to have all the cases beard
gefcber.
Mr. Bryan said that he would be g
of the same arrangements, bat woi
desire the procedure io the equity ca
to be kept separate so far as tbe ru
governing the arguments, etc., wi
concerned. It was then agreed tl
the heariog should proceed, all I
cases being heard together.' Jud
Goff announced that the court wot
put no limit on the time, bur. would
glad to have the attorneys consume
little time as possible.
Mr. Bryan read the bill for iojut
tion in his case in equity and Attorn
General Barber read the State's a
s wer. Judge Townsend, assistant A
torney general made the opening arg
ment for the State. He argued th
the dispensary law was within the p
lice power of the State, that the ca>
brought before the court were sui
against tbe State and therefore unco
stitutional and that.the court did n
have jurisdiction
Dr Pope replied, speaking two hour
His argument was mainly to prove tb
tbe law was unconstitutional aod su
versive of the Republican form of go
eminent. He quoted numerous autbo
itie8 in support of the contention tb
the court had jurisdiction and that tl
system was not a police measure, but
monopoly for profit. In support of b
proposition that the la^y is unconstiti
tiona! he said:
The act oM894 known as the dispel
sary act, which is the act in question, i
contrary to the provisions of toe cot
stitution of the United State*.
First Because the State has no rigt
to engage io any business to the exclu
sion of its own citizens.
Second. By so doing it creates a mor
opoly in an article of commerce whic
it has no right to do--Monopo!y case 1
Coke's Reports-contrary to commo
law and pu?tic policy. Disseotin,
opinion of Judge Field io Slaughte
House cases. Monopolies have bee;
declared both in England and Americ
to be contrary to the common law
Statute 21, Jones the first, and to pub
Ho policy.
Third. It is not a police measure
but is a measure of revenue, and i
therefore, cannot be said to be a polic
measure, lt has carried liquor inti
counties and towns heretofore dry ant
is calculated to corrupt the morals io
stead of improving them, mixed drink)
such as cocktails, to tempt the appetite
of the un80phiscated and temperate
Fourth. Because it denir to the etti
zen the privilege of ordering liquoi
and forces him to buy from the dispeu
6arie8 80 per cent goods and cheap li?
quors, calculated to injure the health ol
the citizen.
Fifth. Because it interferes with thc
commerce between the States, in rue
greed to make money out of the busi?
ness.
Sixth. Because it confiscates the
property of the citizen without just
renumeration therefor, or without due
process of law.
Seventh. Because it authorizes
searches and seizures to be made with?
out warrant of law.
Eighth. Because it gives a preference
to a few, at the expense of the many
by licensing tourists hotels and the
Charleston Brewing Company, when
"equal rights to all and special privi?
leges to none" is the true rule in a
government of the people, thereby de?
coying the uniformity of the law-.
Ninth. Because it destroys a republi?
can form of government.
Tenth. Because it puts through i r H
spies aud the revenue arising from the
6ales the purse and sword in the hands
of the administration for its perpetua?
tion in power.
Eleventh. Because said dispensary is
carried on under internal revenue li?
censes, obtained from the collector,
which shows that it is not a police
measure, but on the contrary marks
it as the biggest barroom in America.
Twelfth. Because it attempts to
change the proceedings against persons, ?
10 order tu conh-cnte th^ir property
from a proceeding in pursuance to a.
proceeding io rem which cannot be
done Wapples proceedings iu Rem.
p. 28. section 24; Miller vs. U S.,
11 Wallace 268 ; The Confiscation
Case. 20 Wall., p. 104 et seq.
Thirteenth. Because said act as a
whole is contrary to the Constitution of
the United States. Section 8 and 10
of article 1 ; sections 2 and 4 of
article 4, article 6 o' *' *? institution
of the United States, of articles 4,
5, 6, 8 and section 1 of article 14 of
the amendments to said constitution.
Mr. Caldwell next spoke against the
dispensary system. He dwelt at length
upon the monopoly feature of the law,
and that in bringing the cases there
was no suit against the State but
against individuals. His arraignment
of the law was scathing io the ex?
treme.
Close of the Arguments.
State, May 8.
The argument in the dispensary law
cases which have been pending before
Judges Simonton and Goff has now come
to an end, and it now rests with these
two judges of the United States Cir?
cuit Court to say whether or not the
law is violative of the United States
inter-state commerce laws and the con?
stitution with the wings of the eagle.
Massive brains and eagle's eyes are as
this is being written persuing the synop?
sis of the argumeots filed aod to-day at
noon it will be announced from the
bench what conclusion has been reach- J
ed-whether or not the dispensary law
is valid in the particular matter of the ;
inter-state commerce feature, which, if;
such be not the case, will nullify it to
all intents and purposes.
The battle has been a big one. The ?
feature of the elaborate argument of I
the case as in the registration cases bas
been one leading argument In the reg?
istration case the leading argument was
that made by Mr. C. A. Douglas, it ;
being one that any attorney might feel j
proud of. In the dispensary cases the
leading argument was that made by ;
Mr. J. P. Kennedy Bryan, of Charles
ton. It was one of the most brilliant j
presentations of a case ever heard not
io Columbia, but in the State. Mr. j
Bryan displayed the greatest ability j
and his delivery was forcible and effec- :
tive. In the court room, which was ;
jammed so that standing room was ?
difficult to obtain, were many leading
attorneys, some having come from a j
distance to hear the case, and< many j
other prominet men representing other
professions. Each and every auditor
listened with the closest attention to
Mr. Bryan's speech of two hours. It
was really the first thoroughly legal i
attack .that has been made upon the
law since its enactment Piece by piece
be took the pruning knife of the law
and trimmed it of its embelishmeDts so
that it appeared with tis unconstituttoo
al nakedness to the minds of nearly
every one.
The Contempt Cases.
After the close of the argument in j
the dispensary case the contempt cases '
were taken up, and the returns of Com- i
missioner Mixson, and Constables Davis j
and Lafar were read. In each of these j
returns the dispensary officials backed j
down from the position taken by Gover-,
nor Evans, and disclaimed any ioten- '
tentions to disobey or treat the order' of
the court with contempt.
The State was represented by Assis- ?
tant Attorney General Townsend, who !
read the returns to the rule. Commis?
sion Mixson's return stated J
First. That he submits that the hon?
orable court has no jurisdiction io this
actioo aod the said order of injuoctioo j
is a ouility
Second. That he is State comons
sioner by thc appointment of the State
board of cootrol, and has beeo dis- j
charging his duties of said office since !
the 1st of February, 1895. and then
goes on to explain about the prepara-:
tioo aod sending out his circular of I
instruction to constables ou April 25tb. !
Third. That he admits the order of j
injuoctioo was served upoo him OD
April 25. before the circular letters were !
mailed but avers positively that they
were not sent in consequence of the :
order or with any intention of disobey?
ing the order.
That in sending out the circular let
rers aforesaid he did not intend to defy I
the authority of the court in any way,
nor to commit aoy contempt by dis- I
obeying the order of injuoctioo, and ;
has not wilfully and iatentiooally dis?
obeyed any order of this honorable
court and disavows any purpose what?
soever in sending out the circular let- j
ter to the two constables to do so, aod
avows that he is ready and willing at
all times to respect and obey its orders
and intends to do so.
Wherefore he respectfully prays that
the rule be dismissed.
As Judge Townsend finished read?
ing, a brass band passed in the street
below playing something that sounded
very much like "Where is Mv Wander?
ing Boy To-night ?"
Then Judge Goff's voice was heard,
saying after he read the paper through
carefully: "Then he denies that he
ever intended to iostruct the constable-;
to sei?e liquors.'"
Judge Townsend : That is what he
swears to in that return. May it please
your honor, this commissioner i* a new
man, only appointed a few months ago,
ami is not thoroughly familiar with
these things
Judge Goff then read over Col. Mix
son's circular letter to Constables, aud
after some remarks thereoo fioally
said.
Judg" Goff: Then I uoderstaod you
to say that be did not mean that as an
order to seire liquors ?
Judge Townsend: He swears to that
your honor
The ictuni of Constables Davis and
Lafar were the same, except an to the
relation of the facts io each cane, which
being stated, the return proceeds to
state:
That at the time of the seizure of the
said package, no order of any kind of
this honorable court had been exhibited ;
to him, nor was he made a party to
any proceedings in the court, and the !
only information he had was derived
from the publication of some proceding
io s dispensary case io the Columbia
papers, which he thinks be read on the \
morning of the 25th day of April, 1895;
that soon after this seizure, on io- j
quiry, he ascertained that an order of '?
injunction had been granted by this hon?
orable court, and since that time had
not made any effort to search for or
seize packages of liquor, and has made
no seizures, and determined oot to do
so until the question of bis right under
the law to do so bad been heard and de?
termined by his honorable court.
That he intended to commit no con?
tempt in disobedience of the orders of
the court, and has not willfully or in- I
tentionally disobeyed any order, and \
disavows any purpose whatsoever to do
so when he seized the package, and
avows that he is ready and willing at j
all times to respect and obey its orders, :
and intends to do so.
Wherefore he prays that the rule be j
dismissed.
ALL DECISIONS TO-DAY.
Theu there was a silence for some
time, everyone being on the qui vive
to know what was goir^* to be the re?
sult. Finally the high tension was re?
lief thus :
Judge Goff-The court will take all
these matters under consideration and
adjourn till 12 o'clock to-morrow, when
we will announce the conclusion in the
oases which have been submitted.

Like South Carolina.
Florida Has Our Election Law and :
Finds That It Hurts Her.
Jacksonville Tira.e;-L"nioo.
In discussing a fair election law i
the Times-Union has never once
given prominence to the idea that
such a law would give people out
side of Florida confidence in the
State. We advocate a fair election
law because such a law is right, and
an unfair law is wrong-because the
rights of the people now in the State
demand a fair election law. This is j
a matter of first importance, but the
impression made on people outside
of this State is not unimportant.
We need capital. We need irnma- j
gration. There are thirty-seven rail- !
lion acres of land in Florida capable
of easily supporting a population cf
15.000,000 We have now less than i
half a million We need thirty
times the population we have now.
It would make our lands nearly thir- i
ty times as valuable. These lands
are owned principally by the people :
who now live in Florida. They are i
now almost valueless, because we
bave many times more than we can
use. Immigration would maka them \
valuable, and would make rich many
of the land owners in the State who
are now poor.
The investment of outside capital j
would bring immigration, and would :
give employment to people already
here. Florida needs immigration I
and capita!.
Neither will go in large numbers
or amount to a State that does not:
protect the rights of its people. Our
matchless advantages draw to a small
extent both labor and capital, in spite
of our present law. If a fair election
law were passed, where one immi?
grant comes now. or one dollar of
investment, ten would come, and the
State would be rapidly developed.
This, however, is a small matter, in
comparison with the rights of the
people of Florida-rights that are
now trampled, on, and that would be ?
protected by a fair election law.

Attempt to Wreck an Atlan?
tic Coast Line Train.
Another attempt was made to ?
wreck an Atlantic Coast Line train
night before last This makes the
third attempt of the kind that has
been made within a few months, and
it is a pity that some punishment j
cannot be dealt ont to the evil-doers
All efforts lo catch them have proved :
futile.
The scene of the attempted wreck ?
.of Tuesday night was between
Oakley and Strawberry stations, j
Train No 23 had just taken water at j
the tank this side of Strawberry j
Station and had started for its run !
down to the city, when the engineer j
saw an obstruction on the track. '
The air brakes were turned on at;
once, but the heavy train was not ;
brought to a standstill before tac
engine ran into a pile of crossties
that had beer, placed on the track.
The act was deliberate and was
evidently done with an intention of
wrecking the first train that mig nt
come along, for the logs were
wedged into the rails securely. The
train was uninjured, but tin; engine
was partially derailed. Th?'train did
not arrive in the city until alter 1
o'clock -A'/'/'N dud Courier.

A Startlina Story!
Told by a Leaden Bullet in
Swearingen's Brain.
EDGKKIELD, May 6.-New aod start?
ling disclosures have been brought to
light io the recent shooting affray at !
this place, in which John C. Swearing
en, brother-in-law of Hon. George D. I
Tillman and Senator B. R. Tillman,
was killed. On Saturday last Messrs. ;
Croft, Tillman and J. W. Thurmond,
counsel who have been retained to assist i
the State in the prosecution, had the ;
body of Swearingen disinterred by Drs
Hill and Thompkins in order to secure
the two remaining pistol balls from the
dead body, which were not extracted j
before the burial.
Greatly to the surprise of everybody j
it now appears beyond doubt that j
Luther Jones, son of B. L Jones, as- j
sisted bis father in the killing. Luther i
Jones has, up to this time, denied hav- ;
ing shot at all, while his father assert
ed, corroborating his son, that he alone
fired. The elder Jones claims to have
used a 32-calibre pistol, and the ball
extracted from the back of the de- i
ceased's head is of a 38-calibre. The i
pistol owned by the younger Jones is
said to be of this latter calibre. It is ;
also claimed by Swearingen's friends
that the deceased never fired at ali.
Much interest is manifested in the !
case on account of the prominence of
all the parties concerned. E. L. Jones
has before been tried here for bis life, j
He is a man of considerable wealth, ;
and settled in Edgefield county about
twenty years ago, but no one seems to
know from where he came. It is stat- !
ed, however, upon reliable authority ;
that he once lived in Pike county, Ala- ;
bama, from which place he moved on i
account of having killed a man. This :
latter statement is, however, merely ;
based upon information.
The result of the above investigation !
in fact the cause of the disinterment, ?
was the'account of the affair written by :
Mr. E. J. Watson, staff correspondent '<
of The State.
