Shot From His Horse.

Williston, March 8.-This com
munity was profoundly shocked
this evening upon learning that
one of its prominent citizens, j.
/ Smith, DR., was fCully mur-
dered about a mile from town. As
usual, Mr.. Smith had ridden to
his farm, and while riding through
a narrow strip Of woods was shot
from his horse. There we're two
shots fired, which were heard by
several persons, and the horse
wa, seen coming out of the woods
and was caught by negro tenant
The woods in which the crime was
com nitted is surroundel l by open
fields In which were mon at work,
and it seems impossible for the
murderer to have committed this
crime in daylight and escape. The
shots were heard about half an
hour before dark, and in the edge
of woods not for from d tenant
house. As soon as the horse was
brought +" town without its rider
. party was made up and search
begun. The body was found about
$3.50 p. IN. There we're Two shots
which had taken effect, one in the
side OF the face and arm. and the
other full in the face.
His watch being gone points to
robbery as the motive.

Shecdled to the Dispensary, Su-
preme Courts Decision is that
State Board of directors is
Not Authorized to Re
The State, Cd inst.
The State supreme court yes
terday handed down decision in
the case of the removal Of the dis
pensary from Elloree. The court
sustains the position taken by
Chairman H H Evans, who, act
ing upon the advice of the attorney
general, voted against the propo-
sitlop to do away with the dlspen-
sary at that place on the ground
that the State board has not the
authority to take such action.
In the decision OF the court.
written by the chief Justice,
Hon Y j Pope, brief history of
the case is given. In October last
the people of Elloree signed pc
tition for the removal of the die.
pensary. No charges of miscon.
duct were brought against ~
Weeks, the dispenser. The peo-
pie wanted to be rid of the dispen-
sarv and did not hesitate to say so,
all but half a dozen of the men of
that community having signed
the petitions asking for tho re-
moval Of the liquor shop.
The petition was acted upon by
the board on the 14th of Decem-
ber and Messrs. Towill and Boy
kin are recorded as having voted
to grant the petition. Mr. Evans
is recorded as having voted
against the action of the majority,
for be thought the State beard
had no jurisdiction. Dispenser
Weeks then appealed TO the su-
prems court for right of pro-
hibitlon TO estop the decree of the
State board. In his complaint to
the supreme court, Weeks says
"that no vote had been taken by
the qualified electors of the county
of Orangeburg to close dispen-
saries In said county as provided
by law" He also alleged that no
charges had been made against his
management, that he could not be
removed except for cause, and
that the State board has no author.
ity to close a dispenssry except
upon the order of the majority of
the people of county.
After summing up these facts,
the chief justice says:
a scrutiny of the powers con-
terred by law upon the board of
directors of the State dispensary
fails to show that any power to
close dispeusary once established
is conferred by law to said board
of directors; but, on the contrary,
the law confers such power upon
different tribunal" He then
qnotes the law AZ amended by
Senator Brice's bill in 1904, and
continued:
"Apart from all Of this, snch
power in board Of directors of

naught the will of the people,

heretofore remarked, there is no

and as any further confederation

will grant the petition.
