POPE'S 'SLATEST MOVE
He Throws Dispensary Circles IN
South Carolina in a Furore.
EFFECT OF LAW HAY Be DESTROYED.
The Question Rests With the Permanency
OF tho Injunction, the Latter Re-
Straining an Interference With
the Common Carriers.


the Common Carriers.
COLUMBIA, S. c., April 22.-There is
considerable stir in this state occasion
ed by the announcement that DR..
Sampson Pope and J. F. J. Caldwell,
appearing before Judge Golf, of the
United States circuit court at Clark
burg, West Virginia, had secured a
temporary injunction in the case OF
Dunbar VS. the state board Of control
and F. NJ. Nixon, commissioner" which
If made permanent practically destroys
the effect OF the dispensary law. The
important portion Of the order is that
the defendants-the dispensary author
tiles, their agents, officers and employ
ees and the sheriffs and police officers
of the state of South Carolina OF of any
municipality therein be enjoined and
restrained until the further order
of this court from interfering in any
manner whatsoever with the commerce
between the states and to that end,
they are hereby restrained from in
terfering with the agents or employees
Of the common carriers in said state in
any manner whatever whilst trans
porting, holding, or deliverin articles
Of commerce brought by said common
carriers into the state; or interfering
in any manner whatsoever with arti-
cles of commerce so brought into the
state, whilst in the hands of the con-
signees thereof.
The rule to show cause is made re-
turnable before Judge Golf here on
May q On the face of the temporary
order of injunction any one can order
liquor shipped here to him, and it can
not be.interfered with by any one, even
after it is delivered-till May 2. Those
who do this will of course run the risk
of subsequent prosecution, if the in
junction is not made permanent. Ev-
erybody is discussing the situation.
Governor Evans, the chairman Of the
state board of control gave the follow
ing statement last night which makes
the situation doubly interesting:
hands on the dispenSary. and now the little
snappers have taken charge OF it and attempt
ing TO attack. There is only one point in the
case and that is: When does liquor arrive IN
the state: The matter has already been be-
fore Judge Simmons and they have gotten his
opinion-and suppose this is an effort to tix
the other member Of the United States court
OF appeals.
Judge COTS Injunction will not be regarded
by me in any sense OF the word. 1t makes no
difference what papers he serves, We will con-
tinue to seize every gallon OF whiskey that ar
rives within the state, and conStrue the word
arrive to mean when it gets within the bord-
ers Of the state. and will continue to construe
it till the United States supreme court holds
otherwise II necessary an extra force Of con-
stables will be employed to take charge OF any
liquor dealers who may feel encouraged by
Judge Gons action. Any liquor brought into
this state In violation Of the dispensary law
by Judge Gor, Samps Pope or Fitz Caldwell
will be as promptly seized and confscated as
II It were brought in by Jim Dunbar.
GofTs Second Issue.
COLUMBIA, S. c., April 23.-Another
sensation has been created by the pub
lication of the fact that Judge Golf, Of
the United States circuit court had is.
sured another injunction against the
state authorities on the ground that
the registration act OF 1882 was uncon-
stitutional, there was sufficient fraud
at the polls in the election last fall to
yitiate the calling of the constitutional
that there was then con-
spiracy between Tillman, Evans and
others to- commit frauds; that the
agreement between Tillman, Evans,
Hemphill ane others was a
conspiracy to defraud the negro of his
right of suffrage; that Evans as gov
ernor had sought TO carry out these
,onspiracies by removing notaries for
taking af6davits from negroes; that
the illegal acts Of supervisors of regis
tration were part of the same conspir-
acy, etc. The important portion OF the
order reads as follows:
It Is ordered that the defendants, John Gary

court.
I. Is further ordered that said defendants do

endant, John Gary Evans, make full, true and

Governor Evans hurls defiance at

employed by him in reference to the
Injunction against the dispensary and
declares that he will pay no attention
