ments: that the constitutional convention
law is unconstitutional; that the court is a
court of the state of South Carolina as
we'll as the United States. The court there
fore issues permanent injunction.
Judge Simonton, after the sensation
caused by Judge COTS decision was quell-
ed, read the decision in the dispensary case
of Donald agt. state conStables, declaring
that the court has jurisdiction that the

pensary matter. declaring that the prayer
for the injunction was refused, it not being
