Act OF the general assembly approx
ed February Is. 1907. and amended
February ~, 1908: that the commits
sion in dealing with SAID funds can
not be controlled nor can the dis
bursement or use of the funds be d.
rectcd by any court in equity or 9TH
erwise in any suit III which the State
of South Carolina is not q party, as
the interests Of the State would be
necessarily affected directly by any
decree or Judgment rendered in such
suit.'
After considering the petition,
Chief Justice Pope issued an order
For Il hearing upon argument as to.
whether or not the mandamus should
be issued at an extra term Of ST.
premc court to be held March 4. The
court had been ordered for a case
from G%reenville, involving the issn-
ance Of certain bonds in that county.
The order Of Chief Justice Pope is
as follows:
"Whcreas. an act Of the legislature
was approved on The 9th day Of Feb
rllarN. 1908 authorizing and rcuuir-
ing you. as State dispensary commits
sion, to pay into the State treasury
the sun Of $4,000 out Of II funds
in your hands arising from the bust
ness and property of the State dis
pensary and nevertheless YOU have
uajustly refused to turn the same in
to the State treasury, as required by
said act, to the injury Of the State Of
South Carolina, as appears to us by
the complaint in the above-5tated
case;
"Now, therefore, We be willing
that speedy justice be done in this
behalf. do command and anjoin you
and each of you that immediately af-
ter the receipt of this order you show
cause before the supreme court, at
Columbia on the fourth day Of March,
1905, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon,
why a mandams should not be grant
ed as prayed for in said petition.
cit is further ordered that copies
Of this order and the petition herein
be served on the respondents.

The Noisless Gun-It' Terrors.

Columbia State.
The most uncanny possibilities sug-
gest themselves to military experts
who have examined Hiram Maxim's
new invention, the noiseless firearm.
BY utilizing an attachment which is
constructed upon the principle of the
muffler of a motor car, Mr.. Maxim is
able to explode a charge in a gun
I'barrel without the sound of the de-
tonation carrying more than a few
feet. AT fifty yards a ma might re-
ceivc Il wound from one Of the new
rifles without knowing whence the
shot came.
The use Of smokeless powder and
high power rifles has added to the
horrors Of warfare. Soldiers declare
that an engagement with an enemy
whose position is betrayed only by
the sound of discharged rifles is a
'nervc-racking experience. They also
want to see the smoke. What will be
the sensation when bullets drive in
to q regiment and there is neither
smoke nor sound to tell that any enc
my is hidden within range. Then it
will he like fighting with spectres.
Experts are inclined to approve of
the noiscless gun, however, thinking
chiefly of its value to their own side
in a conflict, They point out how
the enemy's pickets might be killed
by a squad Of sharpshooters whose
presence would not be discovered I'M
til the dead we're picked up. Or a
detachment of troops might be shot
to pieces by a company Of Unseen
men before The smaller party could
be located.
But not only in warfare is the
noiselcss weapon likely to become a
terrible weapon. 1t is said that the
Maxim attachment can be placed up
on shotguns, sporting rifles and re-
volvers. The slaughter Of game
would become q more serious ques-
ton than it is at present if such guns
were introduced among hunters. A
single man armed with one Of Mr..
MaXim's rifles, might conceal him
self in the neishborhood Of a herd of
deer and kill them all at leisure. Ul-
It'll ducks and other game are cxter-
minated the slaughter would be ap-
palling. Even now many people are
violently opposed to the use of a
|"pump-gun" on the ground that the
birds do not get a fair show; what
would THESE say about the Maxim
attachments
And the most alarming speculation
Of all concerns Maxim revolvers. The
advantage would all be on the side
Of tho criminals. Assassinations
would be only limited by the DISPOSE
ton Of assassins. The police would be
helpless if they were unable to hear
the shots. When Mr.. Maxim's gun is
manufactured for the trade it will be-
come necessary to regulate its sale,
perhaps actually prohibit it's manu-
|facture except for military purposes.
