Dear Sir: Your favor OF the % inst

will take pleasure in advising you rs |
shall be there 10: the next 10 days or

matter OF etfecting the law, that it
does not effect the law itself. lie may
make the injunction permanent, bat
that will not effect the operation Of the
law in the remotest degree.
I am indeed very glad that you are
enjoying your visit to Central City

you can can find it convenient to
come. I am also glad that your bust
nes relations will be what you desire.

AND ANOTHER.
Another OF them reads thus:
Columbia, S. c., May 70, 1895.
Mr.. J. w. Yost, p. 0. Box 30l, Gin
cinnat.
Dear Sir: Your favor OF the 30th
OF Aril, also package containing the
small token" has been received.
Please accept many thanks for the
same 1t is higly appreciated by me.
I would have acknowledged receipt
earlier but waited until the de.
cision in the dispensary case was
rendered. I knew that you we're in
terested in the matter.
The injunction referred to in my
letter to you was made permanent,
though as stated in that letter it does
not effect the question OF the law IN
the remotest manner. OF course it
may in a certain extent effect the
sales Of the dispensers, though I
have no idea that it is as bad as some
of the citizens of the State are inclined
| (and who would do anything to injure
the law, no matter what to believe.
It is probable that a case will be
made out and taken to the United
States supreme court on habeas corpus
proceedings, and have that section of
the law finally decided and disposed
OF. Will let you hear from me in
case anything new arises.
Agalng thanking you and hoping
that may reciprocate your kindness,
| l am, Very truly yours,
J. w. MIXSON.
