FAMOUS DISPENSARY CASE.
Chief Justice Pope Hears Argument in One
Phase Of Lake City and Scranton Dis
pensaries Case.

Messrs. W. L. Bass. of Lake
City, and Shipp, attorneys. repre-
senting certain parties in Williams
burg county, appeared before Chief
Justice y. J. Pope, at chambers
here. on Saturday morning, in the
famous Lake City and Scranton
,dispensaries case. asking for stay
OF the operation OF the diSpeil>arleS
at Lake City and Scranton until
the case has been decided by the
supreme court. Mir. ". +. Clay
ton. OF the Florence bar. was repre-
sented by Me>SrS. !. y. Culbrcath
and |. II. Hunt. OF the Newberrv
bar. who appeared Tor the board
OF control Quite an interesting ar
eun,ent OF about two hours was
made upon the question al l>Slle'
the sole question being whether the
dispensaries shall be allowed to
sell whiskev until the case is decld-
ed by the supreme court. Chief
Justice Pope reserved his decision.
which in all probability will be tlled
in a very few days.
The case is interesting and has
been hard fought. About eighteen
months ago the board OF control
gave notice that it would establish
ed dispensaries in Williamsburg
county. 1t seems that the law re-
auires that twenty days notice OF
such intention be published and
provides that if a majority of the
citizens present petition within
twenty days after the publication
of said notice the board shall not
establish the dispensaries.
1t appears that the citizens in
volved in this case attacked the
constitutionality of the dispensary
law, the case being carried before
Judge Dantzler and an appeal be-
ing taken to the supreme court.
The supreme court held the act to
be constitutional. Pending the lltl-
CATION the board OF control sus-
pended the establishment of the dis
pensaries in question. This year,
acting under their former inten-
ton, the board of control establish
ed the dispensaries at Lake City
and at Scranton. Citizens, l''clud-
ing Morris and others, filed a COM
plant against the board OF control,
alleging inter ALA, that a majority
of citizens opposed the dispensarles.
The case went before Judge Purdy,
at chambers. the complaint asking
for a perpetual injunction and that
an order be issued suspendlng the
operations of the dispensaries un-
til the case was heard on its mer-
its. Judge Purdy held that under
the showing made the plaintiffs
were not entitled to the injunction
and the plaintiffs gave notice OF ap-
peal and appeared on Saturday be-
fore Chief Justice Y. J. Pope ask
ing for a stay of operations OF the
dispensaries until the case is heard
in the supreme court. As stated
the arguments were heard and the
decision reserved.
