Another Injunction.

The merry war in the United States
Court over the South Carolina reglstra-
ton laws still continues. Yesterday DR..
Pope arrived in the city en- route home
from Richmond, where he appeared be-
fore Judge Golf and got his order Of In
junction against the Supervisor of New
berry County. =.
Dr.. Pope appeared before Judges Goff
and Simonton at Richmond on Thursday
morning to amend the bill of Mr.. Cald-
we'll and himself in the registration mat
ter, by making Arthur G. P. Bedenbaugh,
Supervisor of Registration. party by
adding his name to the caption and title
of the bill and adding prayer to the end
of the bill. asking an Injunction against
him until the further order of the Court,
that the subpoena ad respondendum
issue requiring him to answer the bill,
and for such other and further relief In
the premises ss to equity appertained.
This was resisted by the Attorney Gem
eral and Gen. McCrady, but the order
was granted.
The next proceeding was the effort to
secure the order of injunction as prayed
for. After argument on the part Of the
counsel for the defendants, charging that
the bill was multifarious and scandalous
and impertinent, which was replied to
by DIR. Pope, the Court delivered an oral
opinion, deciding that the bill was not
multifarious, and that whilst 1t contained
some things possibly that might have
been omitted, that 1t was not scandalous
or rimpertinent, and granted the order Of
Injunction against Bedenbaugh as prayed
for, until the further order Of the Court,
preventing his registering voters or doing
anything, either individually or as Super
visor, looking in any manner to the reg
istration Of voters. Bedenbaugh's afti-
davit that he had not shown any prefer
ence in registering voters was met by
three afidavits on the part OF DR.. Pope,
showing that he had.

case, and the Governor and commits.
sioner of election are parties, which will
enable other orders to be obtained should
It become necessary later on.
AS to the dispensary Injunction matter,
It may be remarked that for the past
week the Constables hereabouts have
been making seizure after seizure Of
small kegs and jugs Of liquor, addressed
to private parties, and many bearing the
the additional mark "for personal use."
Yesterday one jug, addressed to one of
the most prominent citizens Of Columb bla,
man so we'll known that it would be
ridiculous to say that he wanted the
LIQUOR for other than private use, was
seized by Constable Speed. Constable
Davis took four jugs at the South Caro-
lima and Georgia Railroad depot, and
during the morning, Speed, Beach and
Martin, took six five gallon kegs at the
Southern Railway depot, each keg being
marked for "personal use"
It is also said that yesterday afternoon
Constable Speed came across twenty
five barrels Of whiskey addressed to "F.
M, Mixson," and seized them also. The
word .scommissioner," and the dispen-
sary shipping certificates were missing.
The Constables, probably owing to the
fact that the United States authorities
have not made any attempt to arrest
them for violating Judge Simontorl's
order, have been unusually bold In the
last week In making seizures, but now 1t
looks as If the United States authorities
are to take hand.
Yesterday when Mr.. John Eeidlinger
found that a package shipped to him had
been seized he went before United States
Commissioner Bauskett and swore ont 8
warrant for the arrest OF the Constables.
This warrant has been placed in the hands
Of United States deputy marshal and
will be served this morning. Others
who have had their property rnolested
intend to proceed in the same manner,
and will apply also for search and seizure
warrants to recover their property. 1t
will be interesting to watch the develop
mants and see whether Judge Simonton's
order will be obeyed or not, aud how
many contempt cases will be brought
about.--C Columbia State, June !.
