GREEN ENJOINED! He Cannot Deli?er the Regis tration Books to the Man agen of Election. A STBONGBB GASS. Judge Goff TOH - Pssf ? Upon* Begisiration Lav Again. Charleston, ?July 25.?Judge Gofi enjoined Supervisor Green, of iland on complaint of J. H. dy, colored. Gowdy claims the ; to vote in a lengthy paper. He is represented by Obear & Douglass, of Washington The order is as fol lows: ? *'It is ordered that the defendant, W. Briggs Green, do show cause be fore me on Monday, August 5,1895, in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals room at Bichmond, Ya, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, or as soon thereafter as counsel can be heard, why an order should not be made in this canse enjoining and restraining him from further exercising, the powers and privileges claimed to be conferred by certain alleged acts of the State of South Carolina upon him as the incumbent of an alleged office known and described in said alleged enactment as 'supervisor of registra tion,' and also from furnishing and delivering to the several boards of managers for the several precincts in Bichland County, Sooth Carolina, ap pointed to hold the election of dele gates to certain Constitutional con vention soon to be held in the said State, certain paper writings pur porting to be the registration books for the several said precinete, and also from doing any and every other act complained of In the said bill. "It is further ordered that until the hearing hereinbefore directed, the said defendant, his agents, ser vants and employees be enjoined and restrained from furnishing and de livering to the several boards of managers for the several precincts in Richland County aforesaid, auy books or paper writings purporting to be said registration books. 4'Let a copy of this order be forth with served upon said defendant, this 23d <3ay of Jus^r, 1S95. I i (Signed) "Nathan Gof*, j j 'U.S. Circuit Judge, 4th Circuit " i ?: 1 It see ms, from a perusal of the bill 8 in this case, which was seen in the ' office of Obear & Douglass, here, that J it diners fn some essential particulars from the Mills case, recently decided in the Circuit Court of Appeals. The Mills case was brought in behalf of himself and all others like situated against W. W. Briggs Green, in his official capacity as supervisor of reg istration, while the new case is a suit against Mr. Green individually, and it seems that he is not sued as super visor. Upon the contrary, it is posi tively alleged in the bill that the sec tions of the registration law which create the office are themselves, to mber with all the balance of the act, unconstitutional, and that there exists in the State no such office as supervisor of registration. And it is claimed as a legal consequence that the acts and regulations under which Mr. Green, the supervisor has been acting are his own individual acts. Another essential difference is that it is in so many words alleged that the complainant was distinctly re fused registration. Also, it is stated in the bill, that he is a citizen of Af rican decent. The peculiar hard ships of the act of 1894 requiring the supporting affidavits are made clear by the facts surrounding the particular case of the party suing. And that act is specially attacked as in violation of the fourteenth amend ment as guaranteeing to every citi zen the equal protection of the law, it being claimed that under the act of 1894 impossible and impracticable conditions to register are imposed upon the voters unregistered at the time of the passage of that act. which are not required and imposed upon those electors now upou the registration books. The particulars in which the regis tration laws are in violation of the fifteenth amendment to the United States Constitution are set forth fully and in detail. It is also affirmatively stated in the bill that the complain ant has under the facts of his case no remedy at law at all. Among other things, that a judgment at law for damages against the defendant could not be collected, and that even if col lected would not be adequate relief to him for the deprivation of hie right to vote The other legal remedies heretofore suggested in the Mills case are disposed of under the facts of the new case, and it is clearly al leged that the complainant can have no legal recourse to any of the sug gested remedies. The bill in addition to a number of C other differences between it and the j jj Mille bill seems to be without any of j the technical objections raised by the j council for the State in the former j case. The document in question is a very full and carefully prepared and g elaborate legal paper, but its length g is such that it cannot be here given ! ? in full. Hence the above synopsis, j 3 It is inferred that the purpose of the j 0 counsel is to differentiate the new 1 u case from tbe old so as to obtain an injunction in the new case without conflicting with the principles laid down by the Circuit Court of Ap peals in tbe Mills case. What the result of this fight will be of course no one can tell. This m neh, howev er, seems to be certain? namely : That it ree en te the ieeues tipo the mer its clearly and sqnarely and absolute* ly freed from any of the technical points upon which the counsel for the Staie^sought * ta side* track the former case, and that when this case reaches the United States Supreme Court it will be difficult to dodge the momentous issues made. It seems that Mr. Obear, of the firm of Obear & Douglass, appeared before Judge Goff a few days ago and obtained the rule to show cause elsewhere referred t?. The hearing has been Set for the 5th of August. 3 p. m , in the court room of the Circuit Court of Appeals at Rich mond, at which time it is expected that the arguments on the case will take piace. It is not known as yet who will take part in the argument. Probably Mr. . Obear will make the argument for the aomplainant. A Train Held Up.

' i TV here Are You Going This Summer? To The Most Beautiful Spot on Earth. CHIMNEY ROCK, JS. C. H/U I7 9 Because it is not only the most beautiful spot on earth lllll ? with its grand water falls, pretty little glenns, tower ing mountains and magnificent views, but it is the most pleasant place in the mountains. It is away from the bustle and noise of railroads, and is, therefore, the best place to gain health and see real pleasure. How do you- get there from Atlanta, Ga., Norfolk, Va., Wilmington, N. C, or intermediate points ? Parties going to Chimney Rock take the Seaboaed Air Line Trains, which are the best equipped of any line of Road in the South. The Sea board Air Line carries Chimney Rock visitors to Rutherfordton, from which point a connecting line of stages carries them over a splendid mountain road, through valleys, and by a beautiful river with its ever changing scenery. What Hotel Shall I Stop At? By all means stop at the Mountain View Inn. conducted by Mr. George P. Horton and his estimable wife. The hotel is new, the furniture and fittings of the best, and the surroundings well kept. From the hotel is a grand view of the most wonder ful waterfalls in the United States, the famous Chimney Rock towering hundreds of feet into space. Mrs. Horton is an estimable lady, making every one feel at home as soon as they arrive. She gives her personal attention to her house-work, and superintends the cookiug department, which insures the most perfect cleanliness. The kitchen is kept as clean and neat as the parlor under her management. Mr. Horton is a hustler and believes in having everything fixed to ; please hh guests. He has lawn tennis and croquet grounds, quoit pitching grounds, a marble yard, [that is, a yard nicely graded, where the boys, men and ladies can play the old, but ever new games of marble, "roll-hole, knuckle down, <fec."] He has swings, joggling boards, turning boards, and many amuse ments .for the children. He has rustic seats over the beautiful grounds. Nowhere else can visitors find a place where they can get the comforts, and pleasures that they do at Mr Horton's hotel, But Is Not The Price Too High ? No ! It is really a puzzle to the visitors how Mr. Horton fur nishes the excellent fare and the amusements to visitors that he does for the small charges. Some of his visitors have insisted on paying him more, and this is the reverse of most cases, for it it usual to have visitors growl at high rates. He only chargea seven dollars per week, or twenty-four dollars for a full calendar month. This is valuable information to me; and a number of my friends who are going to take a vacation this summer, and I am certainly under obligations to you, and will see you during July and August at Mr. Horton?s. By the way, how far is it from Asheville ? Only twenty miles. A three hours drive with a good spann of horses will take you to or from the beautiful mountain city, and to Vanderbilt's elegant summer home. In fact it is said that Vanderbilt is going to have a cottage built at a point near Chimney Rock. As to all these points you can write Mr. George P. Horton, Chimney Rock, N. C. By-the-way, a party of prominent editors visited the place and selected the location as the best place to build an Editorial Club House, and they wrote many words of praise concerning the place and section. I will quote from the following papers : RALEIGH NEWS AND OBSERVER. ,jH<m-p with lofty mountains on each side the most picturesque scenery east i f di* Rockies, we, a party of editors, have met to see for ourselves and Ml ih? world something of the real grandeur and sublimity. * * It is a ? * and yet how many are willing to live and die without putting forth ou*' effort to view this, wondxous scenery. + * The view from the d?me of Chimney Rock is superb. It must be seen to be thorough ly understood." CHARLOTTE OBSERVER. "The shades of night weie falling as we drew near our destination. The harvest moon hung in the sky as we rounded Chimney Rock. At our right was Old Baldy, under whose gigantic cliffs we insignificant mortals were creeping along. The river sang a vesper hymn, and it seemed as if nature was offering her evening prayer to the Creator. The view from Chimney Rock is glorious. * * But it is useless to describe the beauties of. this region. Go i..d see them for yourself." WILMINGTON REVIEW. "It was up hill and down dale ; now in the valley shut in by high hills, an anon skirting the brow of a precipice hundreds of feet above the plain beneath. Tne country between Rutherfordton and Asheville is beautiful, rich, prosperous and happy. * * We stood upon the summit of the rugged and picturesque Chimney and gazed abroad for sixty miles, the eye taking- in almost at one glance the peaks of a hundred magnificent mountains. The view is simply sublime." RICHMOND DISPTCH. There is not a missing element in this beautiful mountain scenery. There is a succession of grand views all the way for six miles. No language can depict the grandeur of the scenery all along the route. The Broad River certainly is as picturesque as the famed Swanoanoa ; and larger and much more turbulent " NORFOLK VIRGINIAN. "At every turn of the road as we approach, the mountains unfold, pan oram like displaying wild grandeur almost and yet fascinating in the ex treme. Peak after peak seemingly reaching skyward after supremacy as though spurning the placidity of the valley, and defying the arts of the city builders of the plains. * * It is only a few years since man first stood upon the summit of Chimney Rock. The outlook was superb be yond description." RICHMOND TIMES. "Hickory Nut Gap is the most picturesque section of country to be found throughout the Appalachian chain. The Broad River, a restless crystal stream, divides the ?reat gorge, leaving a towering, rugged height on either side. Members of our party were vieing with each other in the use of adjectives over the glorious landscape. To attempt a description of the great gray peaks, overlooking roaring cataracts and smiling vales below would be but sacrilege when cice a glimpse has been obtained." A stay at Chimney Roek will cure malarial diseases, Blood Poison, Indi gestion and Dyspepsia. Without doubt Chimney Rock has the finest air and scenery to be found. Write to Geo. P. Horton, Chimney Rock, N. C. and get any further information desired.
