Court of Sessions to Review Case.

Darlington, Oct. 15.-Mr. Thos. l.
Rogers, representing q. P. Wright,
who was arrested and lodged in jail
at Bennettsville, charged with hav-
ing burned his store few days ago,
appeared in Darlington this after
noon to obtain the consent Of Solici-
tor J. Monroe Spears to have Wright
transferred to the State Hospital for
the Insane, Probate Judge Milton
McLaurin, of Marlboro county, hav-
ing declared Wright to be an insane
person and a fit subject for admis-
sion to the Hospital for the Insane,
but Solicitor Spears refused to con-
sent, holding that if Wright Is in
sane the matter should be adjudicat-
ed by the Court of General Sessions
which will be in session there next
week. This apparent conflict be-
tween the Probate Court and, the
Court of General Sessions in the mat
ter of lunacy is one that is constant
ly occurring and Wright's case will
probably bring the maluer to some
definite shape.

Expensive Business.

Up in West Virginia it appears to
be expensive to sell a man more whis-
key than he can carry internally and
then turn him adrift. The case OF
Dinah J. Pennington, suing for her
children, against c. D. Gillespie, a sa-
loonkeeper, near Hendricks, w. Va,
was decided recently by the jury
awarding the plaintiff $500. At a
previous term of court Mrs. Penning-
ton sued and obtained a verdict for
$500 for the loss of her husband.
Pennington was killed near the sa-
loon, and Gillespie was sued as the
man who sold the whiskey on which
Pennington became intoxicated.

coLLEToN CONTEST DECIDED.
j. o. Griffin Remains the Nominee
for Supervisor.

Columbia, Oct. III. o. Griffin
remains the nominee of the Demo
cratic party for supervisor of Cole
ton county.
The Supreme Court to-day filed its
decision in the case of Griffin VS.
Moore, sustaining the State Demo
cratic executive committee in it's &C
stion in this case, and holding that nc
error of law was committed.
The decision is as follows.
Upon a petition herein writ OF
certiorari was issued by Associate
Justice c.. A. Woods, directed to the
State Democratic executive commit
tee, requiring that committee to GER
tify to this court their proceedings in
the matter of the contest between
J. E. Moore and J. C. Griffin, candi-
dates for the office of supervisor in
the county of Colleton. The commit
tee having certified their proceedings
to this court, the court having hearo
argument thereon, is of the opinion
that the contestee, ]. o. Griffin, com
piled with the statute of the State
and the constitution and rules of the
Democratic party in filing his pledge
( and statement of expenses, and that
no error of law was committed by
the State Democratic executive com
mittee.
1.-THE court, therefore, adjudges
that the return to the writ is suftl-
cient and that the proceedings here
in be dismissed"
This ends one of the most warmly
waged contests that the Democratic
party has ever had in this State. The
election for supervisor in Collector
was very close between Griffin against
Moore, there being majority of 16C
for J. O. Griffin, who was declared
the nominee by the county Demo
cratic committee. Moore contested
the election on the ground that Grifi1
had not filed a statement of his ex
penses before the second primary
though he had filed statement be
fore the first primary, another attel
the first primary and third state
ment after the second primary. The
county Democratic executive commit
tee decided that Griffin was elected
on the ground that he had complied
with the law, and this decision wal
upheld by the State Democratic com
mittee on appeal. Then writ o
certiorari was obtained from Associ
ate Justice Woods and the proceed
ings reviewed by the Supreme Court
which now sustains the county AM
State committees, and Griffin re
mains the nominee for county super
visor of Colleton.
