Governor Evans Says He Will Pay no Att tention Whatever to tho Injunc- Developments Are Await
 ed With Much Interest,"

Columbia. S. C., April 21.-There is con- siderable of a stir in this state today, oc- casioned by the announcement that Dr. Sampson Pope and J. F. J. Caldwell, ap- bearing before Judge Golf of the United States circuit court at Clarksburg, w. Va, had secure a temporary injunction in the case of Dunbar vs. the state board of control and F. M. Nixon, commits sioner, which, if made permanent, prac- tically destroys the effect of the dispen- sary law. The important portion of the order is that the defendants, the dis pensary authorities, their agents, officers and employees, and the sheriffs and police officers of the state of South Carolina or of any municipality therein be enjoined and restrained until the further order of this court from interfering in any man ner whatsoever with the commerce be- tween the states, and to that end they are hereby restrained from interfering with the agents or employees of the com mon carriers in said state in any manner whatsoever whilst transporting, holding or delivering articles of commerce brought by said common carriers into the state, or interfering in any manner whatsoever with articles of commerce so brought into the state, whilst in the hands of the consignees thereof.
 The rule to show cause is made return able before Judge Golf here on May 2. On the face of the temporary order of injunction any one can order liquor bhipped here to him, and it cannot be in- terfered with by any one, even after it is delivered, till May 2. Those who do this will, of course, run the risk of subse- quent prosecution if the injunction is not made permanent. Everybody is dis cusSing the situation
 Governor Evans, the chairman of the state board of control gave the following statement tonight which makes the statement doubly interesting: "All the quirks and gammons have tried their hands on the dispensary law, and now the little snappers have taken charge of it, and are attempting to attack. There Is only one point in the case, and that is: When does liquor arrive in the state? The matter has been before Judge Si- monton and they have gotten his opln- ion, and suppose that this is an effort to fix the other member of the United States court of appeals. Judge Golf injunction will not be regarded by me in any sense of the word. It makes no diff ference what papers he serves, we will continue to seize all of the whisky that arrives within this state, and I construe the word arrive to mean when it gets within the borders of the state, and will continue to construe it till the supreme court of the United States holds other wise. If necessary an extra force of con stables will be employed to take charge of any liquor dealers who may feel en- couraged by Judge Goff's action. Any liquor brought into this state in viola ton of the dispensary law by Judge Golf, Sampson Pope or Fitz Caldwell will be as promptly seized and confiscated as if it were brought in by Jim Dunbar"
 In the meantime developments are awaited with the greatest degree of in terest
