Questioning the Law.
Columbia correspondence Of the
News and Courier: The articles In this
correspondence relative to the Brice
bill and the suggestion that the dis
pensary people might fight that law
on the grounds that 1t Is special legis-
lation, attracted much attention today
1t Is held by those who have looked
|
| was made In the case Of Seavance VS.
Murphy. reported at page 400, 67th s
c., and that the state supreme court
sustained Judge Dantzler's opinion that
county legislation as to liquor Is moi
| In conflict with the constitutional in
hibitions. The view held here is thai
such a contest would be utterly useless
from a legal standpoint.
Was II Attempted incendiarism?
Rock Hill special Of May 80 to the
News and Courier: There has been 9
good deal of talk about the attempt
made last Sunday night to wreck g
train four miles north Of this city, bu,
when It comes to getting anything tan
gible about II there Is no talk, at least
not from authority. OF one thing there
| Is a certainty, an attempt was made
A negro man walking along the track
discovered that a number Of heavy
bolts had been removed and he has
tened on, found the section man and
reported It, The repair was soor
made, but in the meantime one train
had passed over the spot without harm
Had the passenger train, running al
good clip, struck the weakened rails
there Is no telling what would have
been the consequence. The bolts and
spikes were found in a heap in the un-
dergrowth near by. How they were re-
moved has not yet appeared. 1t would
have required heavy tool and OF
somewhat peculiar pattern to have ac-
complished It. A detective from Co
lumbia has been here and went back
| today. Whether he Is at work on this
particular case or whether a clue to
the dastardly attempt has been found
cannot be said at this time.
