During the sixth ballot Represen-
tative Lyons, the Hunter leader, went
over Ex-senator Clark and began talk
ing to him. Clark asked him some
questions. Lyons answered him ia
cetiously, and Clark jumped up and
started to knock him down. Lyons
jumped back, and Clark was caught
by members around him.
The Lieutenant Governor called
for the Sergeant-at-A Arms "to arrest
those men at once" Sommers took
him ct his word, and began pulling
Lyons along toward the aisle, when
mutual friends explained that Mr..
Lyons never intended to make trouble.
When the roll call was done, Mr..

suited because of the "scrap" aud he
wanted a recapitulation of the vote.
After one more ballot, the anti

Another Pearl BRYAN Case.

Mt. Vernon, ILL.,, April l2.-Boys
passing through some woodland five
miles northwest of this city SUNDAY
found woman's head lying near the
public road leading from Mt. Vernon
to Richview, They reported their
discovery and a party was organized
for search for the body. 1t was
found 200 yards from where the head
lay, with the flesh stripped from the
bones, both the trunk and head being
80 badly decomposed as to render
recognition impossible.
The testimony at the inquest went
to prove the body was that of woman
who had been in that locality early
last November. She refused to di
vulge her name, but said her home
was at Carmi, Ills, and that she was
going to st. Louis. The theory is
that another murder like that of Pearl
Bryan has been committed. Ii is
said suspected party left the coun-
try about the date OF the woman's

AN IMPARTIAL VIEW.
How the Dispensary Problem Looks
to an Outsider.

The Outlook Is an excellent weekly
review published in New York In
the issue Of December lth, the follow
ny appears
The last decision Of Judge Simonton,
OF the United States Circuit Court, in
favor OF the South Carolina IiuuOr deal.
crs may result in q further triumph Of
the prohibitiOnists. The decision, It
will be recalled, was to the effect that,
lnasmuch As the dispensary law pro-
vidcs for a public revenue from the sale
Of liquor at the dispcnsarics, it was not
passed under the exercise OF the States
"policc powers" and therefore that
South Carolina officials have no author
ity from Congress to suppress saloons
selling "original packages" imported
from other States. Under this decision
enough "original package" saloons
have been established to materially
reduce tho profits Of the State disper :
sarics, and the opponents Of the dispen-
sary system hoped for a time to secure
tho repeal OF the dispcnsary law. The
attitude OF the rural legislators, how
evor, soon showed tho unpopularity of
repeal, aEd last week Governor Ellerbe,
in Announcing his candidacy for re.
election, specified the lines upon which
ne would recommend the amendment
OF the law in case Judge Simontop's
decision is rot reversed by the Supreme
Court or rendered harm less by q new
act OF Congress governing "original
package" saloons.
This attitude on the part of g. Gov.
crnOr practically sure of reelection in.
dicatcs that II the dispensary law is
amended it will be in the direction OF
prohibition. Either public revenue
from the traffic in intoxicants, or elsc
the entire traffic for beverage purposes
M wMlll DC cut on The opponents OF the
dispensaries, therefore, arc IN danoc,
of jumping from the frying.pan intc
the lire. The temperance sentiment
OF the State, which forced into the
new constitution q clause prohibiting
an salo OF liquor to be drunk on the
premises-and this applies even to
'origiinal package" saloons-is deter.
mined not to yield what it has gained
under the dispensary system.

DISPENSARY CASES.
They Will Not BE Heard Before
the Legislature Meets.

Tho Columbia Register gives the
| information that the legislature will
have to tackle the dispensary question
without the aid Of the United States
supreme court. Attorney General
| Barber has received q telegram stating
that the court had set the time for the
! hearing Of the Vandercook and other
dispensary Gases March I, 1898.
This was q grievous disappointment
to Mr. Barber as it will be to the mem
| bers OF the legis lature who had hoped
that the court would decide one way or
the other as to the merits of the case
SO that proper Legislation could be
taken thereon. In view Of the general
| agreement among counsel and the per-
SOnal request OF Judge SimOntOn that
the court advance the case, it was con-
fdently believed that the learned court
would do 50. About the only thing
the legislature can do is to pass prohi-
bltion or re enact the dispensary law
with some notifications and await tn G
decision which may not come until
late next summer In the meantime
the original package stores will have
apicnic unless the legislature attempts
to put d high license on them, and in
that case more litigation may be ex-
pected.
The following is the paper the at
torney general submitted to the court
asking that the case be advanced and
an early dc cisiCn rendered
These two cases involve substantial
ly the same questions, and by agree
ment OF counsel the court is asked to
hear them together. Both grow out
of the same transaction. The issue is
the validity OF SO much Of certain
act of the general assemb bly, of South
L., !
pensary law, as prohibits nonresident
manufacturers and dealers from i'm
porting into the State Of South Caro-
lima spirituOus and Intoxicating H.
quors, the product Of other states and
foreign countries, and storing and sell
ing the same within The said state in
original packages BY or through
agents appointed for such purpose.
these suits are brought against Off
GERS of the State in consequence Of the
seizure by them pursuant to sa d act of
certain liquors shipped into the State
for sale, and it is of great public inn
p' Rance tt a. the quest on be deter
| mined by the honorable court as
speedily as it is practicable.
The attorney general of South Caro-
lima, erefOre, respectfully moves the
court to advance the cases on tho dock
ct and set them down for argument
on some early date convenient to the
court. In this connection it is respect
fully suggested that the general assem-
bly, Of South Carolina will convene in
regular session on the second Tuesday
in January next, and a speedy decision
from this honorable court will be OF
great value to the State as a guide to
Legislative action during that session.
Opposing counsel concur in this mo-
n w
the stipulation hereto appended. Print
ed copies Of the transcript Of record in
both cases have been forwarded to op-
posing counsel by the clerk of this
court as provided in said stipulation
