Gr enville News, Tuesday The re.
fusal of Judge Buchanan to grant q
temporary injunction to the original
package dealers came somewhat in the
nature of a surprise. The grounds
which he gave for refusing the motion
were also rather startling and occa'
stoned no little comment. Four OF
the dealers-Babb, Payne, Simmons
and Flatau-have decided to pay the
tax and did so yesterday. The other
dealers will continue in their efforts
to get an Injunction, and through their
counsel, Blythe & Blythe, will apply
without delay to Judge Simonton.
Today those in the original package
business who have not paid the tax as
scheduled in the ordinance, will be
summoned before the mayor. The
original package people, with the ex.
ception of the four mentioned above,
are determined to fight the matter out
in the courts. They seem confident
of their ability to knock the ordinance
into a "cocked hat" the first round.
They will refuse to pay the tax, and
for the present will coufine their efforts
TO the securing of temporary injunc-
ton, restraining the city from closing
up their business while a test case is
pending.
The Chester Cotton Mills.
Columbia Register, Sunday: The
receivership for the Catawba mill OF
Chester was the subject of considera-
ton yesterday for Judge Slmonton,
who came to this city to hear the ar
guments of the lawyers. Attorney
General Barber, in his unofficial capac-
ity, was one of the lawyers interested.
The argument was all devoted to
question of jurisdiction. For the COM
plainants Messrs. w. B. Wilson and j.
K. Henry, solicitor of the circuit, and
Judge Tompkins, of Atlanta, appear
ed. The respondents were represent
ed by Attorney General Barber, in his
individual capacity, and Messrs. ]. j.
Glenn and A. G. Brice. They also
represented the trustees of the mort
cages. Judge Simonton heard consid-
erable argument, and then, at the re-
quest of the attorneys, allowed until
Saturday next for the filing of briefs
and authorities. The Chester mills
case, which is very different, is to be
argued on the 26th before Judge Sim
onton in Charleston. The same attor-
neys will represent the complainants,
and Messrs. Jones & Tillet, Of Char
lotte, and Barber & Marion, of Ches-
ter, will appear for the respondents.
Judge Simonton returned to Charles
ton this afternoon, having reserved his
decision in the question at issue.
Neal After Evans.
Colonel w. A. Neal is after exGov-
ernor Evans with sharp stick. 1t
will be remembered that during the
late campaign, Evans said that while
he was governor he had to send Neal
to Keely, and also that he said that
instead of being superintendent of the
penitentiary, Neal should be wearing
stripes himself. In the daily papers
of Saturday, Colonel Neal publishes q
card in reply, backing the same with
number of affidavits. The card and
affidavits set forth that on account ot
disease, relief for which could be
gotten in no other way, he contracted
the morphine habit. Then, upon the
advice of his physicians, and without
the knowledge of Governor Evans, he
went to Keely, remained there 80 days
and was cured. He says that he ha:
never used liquor to excess since hi
attained his majority. He winds uE
his statement as follows: "The ex
governor and would-be United State:
senator states publicly that | shoult
he wearing convict stripes. l could
Mr.. Editor, make the same statemen
as to his excellency, and could doubt
less get many hundred men in Soutl
Carolina to agree with me but woult
that be manly, to slander him withou
proof? l defy his excellency to place
his finger upon one act of mine, eithe
public or private, that would warran
the use of the vile slanderous remarks
