THE STATE LOSES Case
fleischmann & Co. Suit Not an Ac-f
tion Against state-Framers Of
Constitution Never Conceived that
Sovereign State Would Engage IN
LIQUOR Business.

In an opinion handed down at
Richmond, Va, By the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals Judge ]. G.
Pritchard is sustained in his findings
in the now famous suit of the Fleis-
chmann Company and others, against
the South Carolina dispensary COM
mission.
The opinion in this case was writ
ten by Judge James E. Boyd, District
Judge of Greensboro, N. c., and con-,
Cured in by his associates, District
Judge Waddill and Chief Justice Full
ler. The opinion is quite lengthy,
consuming more than forty pages Of
closely typewriter matter. Much
Of this, however, is devoted to the
statement of facts.
In the opinion proper Judge Boyd
says in part:
s'There are two main propositions;
first, the iurisdictional, which pre-
sents the question whether this is a
suit against the State of South Car
olina and, therefore, forbidden by
the 18th amendment; and, second,
whether the dispensary commission is
court incapable of having its pro-
ceedings stayed by a writ of injunc-
tion by a Federal Court. Does this
case come within the limits prescrib-
cdq In this connection it becomes
necessary to inquire if the State has
any present interest in the fund in
controversy which can be divested by
judicial determination of the true
amount, if any, justly due to the COM
plainant7 Or has the State, by an
Act of the Legislature, reliquished
all rights, if any existed, to enough
of the fund to pay all the just debts
of the State dispensary.
"The first proposition rests largely
upon the construction to be given to
the Act of the South Carolina Legls-
lature of February 16, 1907, provid-
ing for the appointment Of commits
sion to wind up the affairs of the
State dispensary, and Section Al Of
another Act abolishing the State dis
pensary. The State, through its Leg.
islature, has passed both the title and
possession of the fund to The commits
sion for the purposes designated in
the Act. The fund being in the hands
of the commission charged with this
duty, the State has no interest in so
much thereof as is necessary to pay
the just debts"

out measures of relief through the
Red Cross and other agencies, are on
foot to supply the wants of the ne
yrocs and others who have suffered.
Responses to Commissioner Wat
sons inquiry are still coming in, but
Mr.. Watson yet lacks sufficient data
IN which to form satisfactory gen.
,ral estimate. However, the responses
hat have so far come in give definite
information and are from reliable
people. They indicate very heavy
