SECURED THEIR INJUNCTION.
CucIsenheimer Is Sons Can Sell LII
ouors In south Carolina.

IN south CtAEOAAhtAs
cuckenheimer & Sons have secured
through their attorney, B. A. Hagood OF
charlie ston. an Injunction from Judge ST.
,nonton of the United States court, re-
strajning the constabulary of South Car
olira from molesting any of their original
ns ckage agencies in that state.
similar injunction was secured short
vhile ago by a New York dealer in liq-
,ors. who had established an agency in
charleston. and also by another dealer,
but these precedents did not deter the con-
stables from closing up the Guckenheim-
ers' agency at Florence last Tuesday.
Their agent, George Stackley, at Florence,
wrote the firm last Monday that he had
done a big business on that day, whom
the agency was opened, but that he sup
posed the constaBles would close him up,
as indications pointed toward affairs tax
ing that turn.
The event proved his surmise to be cor
rect, for the next afternoon his agency
was closed The authorities claimed that
the half-pint packages did not hold full
half-pint.
Mr. Guckenheimer, in speaking of
the matter yesterday, said that there Is
no question about the TASKS being fun
measurement, and to show this to be the
case. he emptied the contents of one of
them. into a graduated glass, which indi-
cate d exactly eight ounces The firm
hea nd from its general South Carolina
agent Mr.. S. S. Fedlein, that compari-
sen Of the TASKS used by the firm with
those in which the South Carolina dis
pensary whisky is sold, shows that those
of Messrs. Guckenheimer hold consider
ably more than those of the dispensaries.
Ii is not improbable that the firm may
enter suit against the state for having
seized its original packages, thus entail
ing a loss to the owners.
The Beaufort agency of Messrs. Guck-
enheimer was also closed yesterday, This
looked like lagrant contempt of Judge
Simonton's injunction, but later develop
ments proved the ignorance of Chief Bahr
of the constabulary of the injunction haV>
ing been granted
Chief Bahr himself closed the Beaufort
agency, going down from Charleston for
this purpose The firm thought this
showed clear case of contempt, provided
the chief was cognizant of the injunction
having been granted.
A telegram was received last night from
Beaufort, however, stating that the chief,
on learning of Judge Simonton's action,
had turned the store over to the agent of
the Savannah firm.
The firm of S. Guckenheimer & Sons
does ali immense business in liquors in
South Carolina. 1t has established agen-
cies throughout the state and orders for
liquors of all kinds from their agents are
being received and shipped. The putting
up of the original packages has become a
distinctive feature of the general work at
the firms store on Bay street.

JUSTICE FITzGERALD RESIGNS.
Was Tried for Malpractice Recently
and Jury Failed to Agree.

" as fried tOR malpractice Recent tly
and Jury Failed to Agree.
Justice of the Peace John Fitzgerald of
the Fourth district, who was charged
with malpractice in Office recently, and
tried before the superior court, the result
of the trial being failure on the part of
the jury TO agree, has resigned his office.
Solicitor General Osborne was consulted.
The solicitor general took the case up with
the grand jury, which had indicted the
justice, and after consulting with them as
to whether it was their will that he be
allowed TO resign and thus drop the case,
he ascertained that the course would be
perfectly agreeable to the grand jurymen,
as their object had been simply to rid the
office of such Irregularities as were said
TO have been committed.
The solicitor general then allowed the
case to be taken off the docket and the
resignation of Justice fitzgerald is sup
posed to have been sent to the governor
and accepted.
This action is not regarded as a final dis
position of the case as to the guilt or in
nocence of the officer In his discharge of
duty, but simply settlement which was
sanctioned by the grand jury that brought
the indictment against him.
1t is known that several other indict-
ments are now hanging over other justices
of the peace in this city. There were many
charges of NAL practice In office among
the justices of the peace and there will be
several other trials at this term of the
court These cases nave awakened great
deal of interest in the city, and it is
thought that the court will have some SEN
sational developments before 1t when the
cases come up for trial.
