by the state for contempt of court for selling
| whisky in violation Of an injunction issued
! by Judge Fraser, and at the same time c. 5.
! Nettes, attorney for the defendant, had
made motion to dissolve said Injunction
Both OF these motions were argued before
| Judge Hudson. in chambers, and Mr.. NettleS
/ won both cases. Judge Hudson refused to
! attach the defendant for contempt of court
and, furthermore. dissolved the injunction
Judge Hudson based his opinion principally
! upon the fact that the dispensary act was
| void under the constitution and even II IL
we're not that II should bedissolved for want
| OF equity jurisdiction. For still another
! reason was the injunction set aside this being
! the fact that by proper legal proceedings the
| controversy had been carried to the United
| States court. Judge Hudson stated in his
| opinions that he had not changed nor modified
| his previous opinions regarding the constitu-
! tionality OF the dispensary act. The defend
ants won complete victory in the case and
! so the matter now stands.
| Statesburg correspondence to the Charles
| ton News ana Courier says: 1.-The other day
u white man, giving his name as Sherman
and claiming to be related to the dlstin-
| guished house-hurner OF that name, came to
! Wedeeheld and told the negroes that his love
| and pity for them had brought him down
| here to help them he was so filled with sor
row for their unhappy condition. He then
| showed them box with a handle to turn on
| It's SIDE, ana told them That by nll1ng 1t with
a certain kind OF paper which he had. after
| soaking the paper in milk. and then turning
the handle it would grind out any amount of
| paper money that they chose to make, and
told them that he only charged S400 for this
| glorious machine, being twas them" After
he had ground out one ten dollar bill before
! their eyes one OF their wise men. by name
| Richard Tucker, stepped forward with Sl75
| and told Sherman that that was every cent
that he could raise After becom-
ing sure OF this this kind man
| agreed to let him (Tucker) have
the machine by giving him a bill OF sale on il,
to which fucker gladly agreed. Visions of
Richard Tucker lolling in the lap OF luxury
the balance Of his days, admired and res
pected on all sides so filled the hitherto vac
| uous Uranium Of honest" Richard Tucker,
| that, carrying his machine in the house, and
| after obeying instructions. he commenced to
! grind for greenbacks. After continuing the
| process tor a reasonable length of time Rich
| ard went on an inquirtng trip for sherman,
| but alas, echo alone answered his plaintive
calls, for Sherman had doubtless gone back
to the land in which Shermans and wooden
nutmegs grow and flourish for the benent OF
its outsiders Richard Tucker is a mulatto
man. who owns his land. runs several plows
and even had money to lend in the hard times
of the lastfe years. Everyone to look at
him would think him an exceptionally ntelli-
gent and responsible man, with too much
sense to desire to cheat all of his nelghbors
with counterfeit money, even il he could.
and he is doubtless sadder but hardly a
wiser man, as such man could not be made
wise"
