Carolina dispensary row between GOV.
Ansel, Attorney General Lyon, and other
State officials on the one hand and Judge
J. C. Pritehard. of the United States Cir
cult Court promises some interesting de-
velopments.
The night began in earnest when Judge
Pritchard. assuming jurisdiction in the
matter, appointed receivers for the $500 coo
dispensary fund. which was resisted by
Gov Ansel. who sent a special message
-te the legislature in behalf OF protecting
these funds from Judge Pritchard's or
ders.
To-day was the last day Of grace al
lowed by Judge Pritchard to the commits
sion in which TO give a $25o.o00 supersedeas
bond and deposit with the registry Of the
court the collateral or securities given it
by the South Carolina banks 70 insure
the safekeeping OF the latter or else sur
render the funds.
The commission has not complied with
Judge Pritchard's orders. and have taken
a step which makes them unable to COM
ply with the courts order. They have
placed the collateral in a vault in the
treasury Of South Carolina, and the treas
urer has turned the combination and
locked the door. and. acting under orders
OF the governor. refuses to open the vault
so that the commissioners may get the
collateral to surrender to the receivers.

While the commissioners do not want
to yield to the court they would surren-

The court will insist on getting the coll

He caught the young girl in his arms

out Of a hawse hole. He had another
suit of them in his kit. however. and was

said:
