sci in speaking Of the decision of Judge
Pritchard, made at Asheville yester-
day. said: IN reference to the decis-
ion of his honor, Judge Pritchard, MADE
Yesterday in the dispensary case, de-
clinging to conform his former orders to
the decision of our supreme court, 1
must say that the same was disap-
pointment to me, as our supreme court
has so ably and clearly passed on all
the questions involved. | shall not at
tempt to discuss the case here ana
now, The course that l shall pursue
in the matter depends upon future de-
yelOpment. If the case can be and Is
allowed to be carried to the supreme
court of the United States fairly
peaceably and orderly. without drastic
proceedings being resOrted to as
against the commission and deposito-
ries-and that seems to me TO be the
most dignifed and feasible method OF
procedure-then shall be satisfied that
the interests of the people will be main
tained. If. however there are to be
new complications or drastic measures
adopted, it may become necessary, at
an early day, to reconvene the leglsla-
ture to enact such legislation as our
state supreme court has held to be
competent"
