GOV. ELLERBIE's ORIG.
INAL PACKAGE CRU
SADIE.

The state is not satisfied with the
effective concesson it secured from
the railroads in getting them to boy
cot the 0. P. shops and refuse their
loose shipments, but has come down
on the wagons aud will hold-up and
seize all wheeled vehicles drawn by
horse, mule or other animals which
carry liquor to and supply the 0. P.
competition.
The governor takes the position
that wagons and like vehicles are not
common carriers in the legal sense of
that phrase and cannot therefore
transport liquor into this state under
Judge Simonton's decision as the
railroads are allowed to do.
So the interesting question has
been brought up now as to whether
or not wagon is not as much O. a
common carrier as steamed vehicle.
This knotty legsl question will have
to be cracked by the courts and in
it's cracking much litigation is likely
to be brought about.
Since wagons and such like vehi-
cles were less than century ago the
only carriers" on land, to show
how they have been superseded by
the law as to railroads will probably
prove interesting and intructive.
Such a question has likely never
been raiscd before in this country,
and around it's solution will centre
the deepest interest

ed the following:

Governor Ellerbe wired an afirma.

In speaking of the matter Cover
ernor EIIerbe said he authorized the
seizure on the ground that wagons
were not common carriers under the
decision Of Judge Simonton as to 80.
P" shipments.
The Laurens liquor will be shipped
to the state dispensary and confsca-
ted as has been done with other con-
traband stuff heretofore
The seizure develops brand new
point in the O P situation, involving
the construction Of the phrase "com.
mon carrier u and as great deal o1
liquor is coming into the state all
along the borders viathe wagon routes
it is likely that these seizures will
open up & new field of litigation

Mr.. Epton Appointed.
TO SUCCEED NORTON AS
COMPTROLLER GENE
RAJ.

There was much uncertainty all OF
Yesterday morning as to what Comp
troller General Norton was going to do
about resiguiug bis State Office. having
received his certificate of election as a
member Of congress Mr. Norton.
when seer, could not tell what he was
going to do; in fac: it was hard to tell
whether Mr.. Nortou knew anything at
all about the matter He would have
nothing whatever to say about the nat
ser one way or the other. Gov Eli.
lerbe, when seen. said that he knew
notbirg about.Mr. Norton's intentions.
bpt reasserted that he was then ready
to announce the appointment Of Mr.
Norton's successor, and would do 80 the
moment he received the resignation Of
the incumbent.
Il was just as Gov. Ellerbe vas leav-
ing the state capitol. about 2 2l5
O'Clock, when Mr.. Norson's resignation,
a very matter Of fact paper. was hand
+ ed to him. It was, Of course. at once
accepted, and the governor returned to
his office. In very short time Gov.
Elierbe announced that Mr.. L. P. Epton
the present auditor of Spartanburg
county, had been appointed to suoceed
Mr.. Norton ss comptroller general.
This announcement created no surprise,
for it had been generally conceded that
the governor had seleosed this gentle
man to gil the vacancy in his cabinet.
The only surprise vas that this appoint
meo. did not cause the surprise tbas
Gov. IEllerbe had the day before pre-
dicted it would. The governor having
made this appointment. then proceeded
to appoint Mr.. Eber Breutonao succeed
Mr.. Epton as auditor Of Spartanburg
county Mr.. Breuton is at present the
clerk in the sheriff office in his coun-
".
It is supposed that the new comptrol-
Ter will come down to-day or to-mor-
row aud that Mr. Merton will at once
turn the Office over to him. The new
man comes 10 at time he will End
plenty of work to do, inasmuch as the
annual reports are nov being made up.
aud this is no small undertaking Il
is not thought any change will be made
in the. clerical force Of the Office
Chief Clerk Derbam aud Bookkeeper
Smith will doubtless retain their posi-
tioos.
There is not much to be said about
the career of the new comptroller gen.
eral. He is young man. being only
about 80 gears Of age. He is regard
ed as one of the best and most paius-
taking auditors in the State, and is
said to be we'll fitted for bis duties as
comptroller. Mr.. Fpton is a young
farmer !; some years ago he had the
misfortune to lose one Of bis arms in q
Fthreshing machine he is married
man. His 6rss appearance 10 public
life vas when he was elected auditor OF
