United States Court Assumes Jur-
isdiction in Dispsasary Matter.
STATE WILL APPEAL.
Lyon Suggests That the Judge Wait
Until Question Of Jurisdiction Is
Settled Finally-He Says He has
No Intention Of Provoking Conflict.
-Pritchard Declares He Has No
Doubt Of His Accuracy.

1t looks like the United States
Court will at last take a hand in
winding up the affairs Of the old
State dtspelsary. at Asheville, N.
c., on Saturday the matter was again
brought up in that court on recent
order OF Judge Pritchard's, signed on
motion OF the Wilson Distilling Com
pany commission of South Carolina
to appear and show cause why a re-
ceiVer should not be appointed to
take charge Of the $1,000 funds
now In the hands. OF the commission
for the payment Of the just liabilities
Of the old dispensary.
Prior to the hearing OF the Wilson
case Judge Pritchard informally re-
ferred to the recent hearing in the
matter Of the Fleishmann Company
against the dispensary commission.
The complainants in this case also
applied for receiver.
The application for receiver was
denied and argument had on the
question OF Jurisdiction, the court
reserving its decision. Saturday
morning Judge Pritchard stated that
he hadn't completed his for-a opin-
ion and decision, but that in view OF
the coming on Of the Wilson case ne
thought it best to indicate what his
decision would be.
"The suit Is not suit against the
State" said Judge Pritchard. II have
considered carefully this whole mat
ter and had 7 any doubt would give
the defendants the benefit OF that
doubt and rule in favor Of the State.
There is no doubt in my mind, how
ever, and therefore the court takes
jurisdiction,
Judge Pritchard said 1t was his
purpose to appoint two special mas
tiers It is stated that these masters
will be named next Mo day, when the
defendants make formal answer.
The defendants announced that
they would appeal from the decision
Of the court.
Attorney General Lyon in referring
to the determination of the State to ap-
peal suggested to the court in effect
that in order to avoid any uDseemly
clash. between the State and Federal
authorities that your honor refrain
from ordering any specific acts to be
done until the question Of jurisdic-
ton is settled"
Judge Pritchard to this suggestion
made reply: "That this court is not
going to do anything to provoke
conflict but at the same time the
court is going ahead and do its
duty"
Judge Pritchard said there was
no necessity or reason for a recur-
renee Of the unfortunate incidents
which occurred in North Carolina
last year. He said that "this court
is as much a South Carolina court
as any court and incidentally that It
Is presided over by southern man.
A hearing Of the receivorsnlp pro-
ceedings will be held on Saturday.

An Aged Woman Drained by Negro
With an Axe.
OVER IN LEXINGTON.
Sitting Alone in Her Room, Near
Caye, Mrs. Paul D. Ellison Has Her
Skull Split Open by Assassin Who
Crept Upon Her From Behind
Body Concealed in Clothes Bas-
ket.

Sitting in her home. two miles west
Of Cayce, nf Lexington County, We'd
nesday morning. white-hasred Mrs.
Paul D. Ellison was suddenly struck
down from behind by a negro burg
lar armed with her husbands axe.
The heavy weapon sank down into
the skull and death was probably in
stantaneous.
His fendisi work done. the assas-
sin strove to cover up the evidence
go that the crime would not be dis
covered until he had made good his
escape. Catching up the pitiful,
wasted body ne forced it into a
clothes basket near at hand and LOSS
ed over it the quilts from the bed.
Then catching up Mr.. Eliisor's shot
gun and one OF his coats the murder
er fed.
The crime was not discovered until
an hour or more afterwar6. Mr. Ell
Iisor had gone to New Brookland at
an early hour to sell vegetables, leav-
ing Mrs. Ellison alone in the little g.
room house. The supposition is that
the murderer, seeing the master Of
the house drive away, supposed the
house to be empty. Mr.. Ellison re-
turned to the house at about $50
o'clock and found his daughter and
several friends sitting upon the door
step awaiting his return.
The house was locked up. and al
supposed that Mrs. Ellison had clos
ed it to run over to neighbor's AZ
ter waiting around the premises for
some time they became alarmed ano
forced the door to 6nd the reality
far worse than anything they could
have feared. The alarm was quick
" given, and within the hour men
were searching for the murderer
Within q few minutes after the
alarm was given Mr. SteygerI, con-
stable for Magistrate Bachman, OF
New Brookland, was on the scene. He
took charge Of the premises and un-
der Mr.. Bachnan's direction empan-
elied jury, which viewed the re-
mains. The inquest was then ao-
iourned. The body remains at the
home.
The Columbia correspondent OF
The News and Courier, who furnishes
the above facts to his paper, says II
is believed that the murderer went
direct to Columbia hoping to elude
pursuit in the criminal quarters OF
the city. The police were not notlheo
of the murder until nearly two hours
after it had ben discovered. Mrs.
Ellison leaves her husband, an aged
farmer much respected in the COM
munity, and six children, four mar
ried daughters and two grown sons

these institutes. and today the~results
OF ttese meetings are being felt in
South Carolina.
II feel the same way about Florida,
concluded the Director. THE people
are hard to interest at first, but this
Bristol meeting demonstrated the fact
that they are becoming Interested,
