CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.
Question of Legality of Any Instruction t
 Seize Certain Packages eff Tobac,o.

Washington, August "A modification of the recent instructions to collectors of internal revenue has been made. These instructions declare that all packages of smoking tobacco, fine cut, chewing tobac- co, or cigarettes containing articles pro- hibited by section 10 of the new tariff act. or having such articles attached or con- nected herewith, or advertising any prom ise of award or gift, or otherwise contrary to the sections of the new act, are subject to seizure.
 The new order directs that all violations of this ect,on of the act shall be reported to the commissioner of revenue, but no seizure shall be made except on special in- structions from him. The contention 's made that congress has no right to fix by law regulations governing the packing of articles subject to internal revenue unless in some way the power convenience Of the government in the, collection is affect ed; also that this provision is in restra mt of trade and interferes with legitimate business. Until the department has deter mined the question no seizures will be madS under this provision of the law

 Col. Irby asked whether he would re- move the police from Charleston If gov- ernor and he said he would remove the police.
 Col. Irby said this remark was stab ping Gov. Ellerbee. MT. McLaurin said it was no such thing, that he would defend Ellerbee at all times and that Ellerbee intended re- moving the police from Charleston, but was prevented by a combination of cir cumstances.
 Col Irby said he only att lcked Gov. Ellerbee because he had said to May field that he was going to throw the power of his administration against Evans and Irby.
 Senator McLaurin said Gov. Ellerbee had denied this and said he would not use his power if his administration was at tackled.
 Col, Irby condemned the present sue- frage, conditions in this state and said it disfranchised 1900 poor white people in Spartanburg county alone.
 Messrs. McLaurin and Evans said the present plan was the best political so;u- tion and when Col. Irby appealed to poor white men he was,using the argument of the denagogue, for there were no poor whites who were disfranchsed in south Carolina. All white men were equal and sovereigns, as much as the ilch countrymen.

FRANK SIMMONS FIRED TIE SHOT

Huntsville, Ala, Aug. 2.-(Sp scial)- News reached here today of a sensation near Concord, a small country town in the northern part of Madison county.
 Dudley Johnson, a white man, and a well known farmer, was found dead on the side of a road mar the home of Frank Simmons. Johrson was masked as a whits capper. He was shot through the jugular vein.
 When it became generally known that Johnson had been found dead, a mob formed and .hr=atened to lynch the man who killed him. Suspicion point ed to Simmons, who as the story goes, had been seen with Johnson. Simmons appeared in the woods.
 An inquest was held over Johnson's s body. Several members of Simmons family appeared before the coroner s jury and gave in evidence that influ- enced them to return a verdict of justi- fable homicide. Simmons wife said that early Sunday morning a gang of white cappers, personal enemies of her hus- hand, had attacked the house. After breaking in the door the white-cappers advanced into Simmons room and as they did so he opened fire upon them. The leader fell and was taken away by his comrades. This man proved to be Johnson.
 Simmons is still in hiding. He has communicated with Sheriff Fulgham, saying that he is willing to be arrested, but that he feared lynehips.
