THE DISPENSARY CASES.
COLUMBIA, s. c.. April 10.-The Su'
preme Court assembled in extra session
to-day. There was large crowd present
in expectation OF a decision being rem
dered in the dispensary cases, but the
Court, after inquiring If any one had any
motion to make. and getting no response
took a recess until Saturday morning
when il is stated the decision in the liquor
cases will be announced. As the cases
before the court came up under the first
dispensary act. II is likely that even If
that law be declared unconstitutional IL
will not prevent the operation OF the
present law, which was passed at the
last session.
