itor and the latter treasurer of Green
wood county. South Carolina, VS.. S.
Ellen Folsom and others. was de-
clded by the Supreme Court of the

ed by Justice McKenna and affirmed

cunt Court for the district of South
Carolina. The action was brought to
compel the payment OF interest on
$4,000 worth of bonds issued by
township 96. of Abbcville. South Car
llona. to aid III the construction of the
Greenville & Port Royal Railroad. The
road was never constructed. but the

ty of South Carolina State law di-
recting that taxes should not be col
lected to pay bonds given on railroads
that were never built. but the court
held that the obligation of contract
could not be thus impaired.
