Original Package Injunction.

Special to rbe State.
Charleston. June 19.-Judge Simon.
ton issued an order this afternoon tenn
porarily restraining and eojoiniug the
dispensary cons.ables from interfering
in any way With the maintenance and
conduct of the establishment of j. s.
Piukossohu. at 269 King Street.
The injunction was issued at the iu-
stance of Mr.. j. N Nathaus, the legal
representative of W. G. Moore of New
York and his agent, Mr.. j. S. Piokus-
sohn. AS will be seen below it is Of
the omnibus order The injunction
emphatically warns the constables to
keep their hands Of of liquor, wines
and beers, which Moore may send into
the State consigned to Pinkussohu.
There is 10 misunderstanding its terms,
for it is perfectly plain ic all its pro-
visions. The entire constabulary force
is affected and all other officers who
may claim to &C: under the dispensary
Law aud attempt to interfere with the
liquor.
The Injunction was issued upon the
6liug of lengthy bill of complaint.
The bill among other things states that
the complaioauta have already been
damaged by constabulary interference
to the extent of $4,000. They aver
that they are now threatened with dam
ages to the amount Of $4,000, by
the seizure Of their liquor and the re-
straints upon their trade.
The bill recites the facts relative to
the arrival of the liquor in the city and
the opening of the establishment and
the recent ccDstabulary Interference
With which the people of the State are
familiar.
The bill concludes With a prayer for
temporary injunction and rule to
show cause, Why the injunction should
not be permanent. both of which orders
we're granted..by the court.
Judge Slmonton has fixed the 29sh
iustaDt at l l a. N , as the date for the
hearing of the rule to show cause.
It will be seen from the injup ction
that not only are the constables epjoin-
ed from interfering with the liquor at
aoy place, but they are forbidden to
exercise any o: heir alleged preroga-
tives at any time save Sunday. This
means that they canrot enforce the
closing Of Mr.. Pinkussohn's doors at
sunset, as they claim they have the au-
tbority TO do.
The Injunction will not be in the
pature Of a surprise. as it was expect.

matters are 10 a statu quo By the
terms of Judge Benet's injunction. Mr.
Piukussohn cannot dispose of any of
his liquor.
In speaking of the case Mr. J. N.
Natbaps, Jr., said to-day that the
order simply protects Mr.. PinkussobD,
but the solution of the troubles will
have to be had in both the federal aud
and State courts.

Arranging the Garden.

Someone suggests in a magazine
a more tasteful arrangement of the
kitchen garden, and L think it is a
subject that calls for more than a
passing thought. A garden we'll ar
ranged is so much more pleasing
than one planted helter-skelter-
things all mixed up every way.
Measure off the ground neatly with
a line, and mark with small stakes
before things are planted. Plant
pole beans and peas at one side or in
straight rows across the garden. If
your garden has a paling fence, see
that the ground is worked close TO
the fence; plant your tomatoes along
the fence, and as they grow tie them
to it with good strong twine-that
used by merchants for tying feeces
of wool is cheap and answers the pur-
pose we'll.
Mark off the space you want for
cabbage, a different bed every year,
also for cucumbers and melons. Have
the beets and parsnips in straight
rows, or in beds by themselves; have
the onion beds ditto, so that there
will not be bare dead places all scat
tered over the garden when the early
things have ripened. A good plan is
to have the rows of early peas, on
ions, etc., where the melon or cucum-
Der vines can cover the ground after
these early crops are cleared off. And
on no account allow the weeds to
spoil your garden next year.
do not like to have trees or grape
vines in my vegetable garden. I
think they should have a place by
themselves. Think of these things,
friends, and see if you do not take far
more pleasure in your gardens than
ever before.-Mayfower.

Mammoth French Artichoke.

The yield is so enormous that one
who has never seen them grow can
scarcely believe the quantity that can
be grown on am acre. Those who have
given them thorough trial the past
year report a yield of from $50 to L.
500 bushels to the acre.
Here let me quote part of an arti-
Gle written by Col. John Scott, of
Iowa, to the Western Stock Journal.
He is one of our progressive farmers,
and after digging, measuring and
weighing part of his crop, found
them to yield 900 bushels per acre,
and says:
''This is but a medium yield, &C
cording to reports that seem truthful,
and [ do not doubt that as many as
1900 or 1000 bushels have been
raised per acre."
He gives this table showing the
chemical analysis of roots.

A Big Orange Crop.

The present indications are that
the orange crop will be larger than
any one has heretofore imagined.
The trees that are old enough all
over the county are literally loaded
with bud and bloom, and the sight is
indeed an encouraging one. It is safe
to say that with no mishaps the next
orange crop of Polk county will
bring more money than any crop
ever before gathered. While there
will not be so many boxes, the price
will be so much greater that it will
be in favor of this years crop.-Bar-
tow Courier-Informant.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-03-10

Referring to this, he says: ''Practi-
cally, however, as a food for swine,
the chemical analysis tells but part
of the story. The nutrition in the ar
tichol<e is in the form of sugar IN
solution, and ready for use. If the
hog is any Judge of what is good for
him, his sense can be taken when
these roots are offered to him; he not
only prefers the artichole to all other
roots, but will scarcely touch corn;
and they do so well on them that my
neighbor remarked, sArtichokes beat
anything for feed / ever saw" [ can
grow them ready for my hogs at one
and one-half to two cents per bushel.
