LYON UPHELD.
South Carolina Supreme Court Says
Federal Court Is Without Jurisdiction.

The supreme court Of South Carolina
handed down on Saturday an opinion
by Mr. Justice Woods, in which Attor-
ney General J. Frazier Lyon Is sus-
tanned in his contention for the $4,000
appropriated by the last general as
sembly for the prosecution Of the al
legged dispensary grafters. This matter
was upset when Judge Pritchard, in
the Federal court, assumed jurisdiction
Of the dispensary fund, amounting to
$500, 900. The case was a friendly suit
and brought by the attorney general
against the members Of the winding up
commission, being in the nature of a
writ Of mandamus, compelling the
commission to turn over to the attor-
ney general the $4,000 set apart for
the prosecutions. The opinion is re-
garded as a victory for Attorney Cen
eral Lyon.
The opinion concludes as follows:
I'VE hold that the state has not con-
sented that any court should adjudi-
cate the debts set up against it for Ii
quor sold to it, nor has it consented
that 100000 Of its public funds held by
it's fiscal officers, be administered
by any court and hence the Fed
eral court had no jurisdiction to
pass the order restraining the res
ILoiii pay oNS SeNAA
funds. The order Of injunction OF the
Federal court therefore affords no legal
protection to the defendants and their
return is adjudged insufficient
THE judgment Of this court is that
the petitioner is entitled writ Of man
damus from this court, requiring the
respondents, constituting the state dis
pensary commission, to pay from the
funds in their hands to the state treas
ury the sum Of $4,000 for the use of
the attorney general as provided for by
the statute Of the state, approved Feb
ruary 25, 1908. 1t Is a well recognized
principle. however, that the United su-
preme court itself follows the decision
Of the state supreme court in the con-
struction Of the state constitutions and
statutes, and, Of course, this rule is
binding upon the circuit court OF the
United States.
This court will not, therefore, as
sumo that the construction which 1T
has placed upon the state constitution
and the statutes in question will be
disregarded by the Federal court.
The issuing Of this peremptory writ
Of mandumus is therefore left in abey-
ance until the further order Of this
court"

IF there was only some way to get
hold of that $4,000 or 100000 bales OF
rotten, unspinnable cotton that has
been accumulated in New York during
the past fifteen or twenty years fol
the purpose of fixing the price of the
commercial commodity, the farmers OF
the south would be benefited to the
extent of a hundred million dollars
That old rotten stuff in New York Is
fit for nothing on earth except to de-
press the price of real cotton; but that
it does admirably.

YoU gentlemen. Messrs. Mccullough,
Arthur and Henderson, you have all
taken an oath to uphold the constitu-
ton and laws of South Carolina. You
took this position of receivers for the
dispensary fund, you say. in order that
you might the better serve your state.
The supreme court of South Carolina
is authority in interpreting the consti-
tuition and laws of that state. This
court says you gentlemen have nc
standing. You are sworn to obey the
mandates of this court. Don't you
think you had better resign your re-
ceivershipS?

PUBLIC opinion seems to have
crystalized around the proposition
that Judge Pritchard made a great
blunder in trying to assume Federal
jurisdiction Of the dispensary affairs,
and there are lots of people who be-
lieve that the judge has instructions
from Washington to let go as easily as
possible. As To whether Governor An
sci will call an extra session of the
general assembly will probably depend
upon future developments; but many
people seem to be Of opinion that the
supreme court has already done more
than the Legislature can do and an ex-
ira session is hardly necessary.

ATTORNEY General Lyon has given
out an interview in which he makes it
clear that Judge Pritchard hurried up
his reCeivership order with a view to
forestalling anticipated action of the
general assembly. Both Mr.. Lyon and
Mr. ROundtree make statements which
seem to leave no question of this fact.
As we see it. this is a very serious
charge. Whatever may be the opinion
of a Federal or any other judge as to
the law governing a given issue, that
Judge certainly Oversteps his authority
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-03-17

IT would be interesting if Judge
Pritchard would consider the case OF
Mr.. Arthur and say whether he thinks
that gentleman's conduct on the dis
pensary board is prejudicial to his
remaining on the receivership commits
sion. No reflections on Mr.. Arthur. Il
the other gentlemen are content to re.
main in Office with him, that is to bt
taken as evidence of their endorsement
of his conduct. And people do not en-
dorse things that they are not capable
of doing themselves.

- Greenville special of March 16;
A conference of the members of the
South Carolina Cotton Manufactur-
er's association will be held in this
city Wednesday for the purpose OF
considering the question of curtail-
ment of production of cotton goods
At a meeting of the association in De
cember it was decided to reduce the
output 25 per cent during the months
of January, February and March, ana
it will be determined at the meeting
Wednesday whether or not 1t IS au-
visabIe to continue this reduction for
n longer period. The cause assigned
for the calling of the conference is the
lack of demand for cotton goods and
the absence to a large extent Of eX-
port trade.

Lawlessness In Steele Creek.
Fort Mill special of Sunday to Char
lotte Observer: News reached here to-
day Of the cutting Of phone wires In
lower Steel Creek township last night
by unknown parties. The wires cut
are the property Of the Steel Greek
Telephone company, which is closely
associated with the Fort Mill Tele-
phone exchange. Some time ago there
was some disagreement between the
managers Of the exchange and certain
subscribers who had the phones taken
out Of their homes. II is supposed that
| the cutting of the wires grew out OF
this misunderstanding. The news re-
ceived here by phone today is to the
effect that blOOdhOunds had been Sc
cured and that some arrests would
| likely follow This section was the
scene Of numerous barn-burnings about
| a year ago, which were generally
thought to be the work Of negroes. 1t

| acts are perpetrated by whites: II so,

ing encouragement to the lawless spir--
| II which so recently was charged
against the negroes.

A PUzzLER
PARTY WHOSE CROPS ARE BEING
EATEN BY ANTELOPE is IN
QUANDARY WHAT TO DO
ABOUT 1T.

What is a man to do when band
and when the laws of the state protect
the antelope from being killed?
Must he sit by and see his crop ca
ten by the animals, or must he violate
the law and -ill the antelope, or must
the state protect the farmer as well
as the antelope?
Is it necessary that antelope shall
give way before the progress of civil
cation, or must they become civilized
antelope and learn not to eat up a
farmers crop?
That is what farmer named Jacob
son up in Dunn county wants to know
and he has been making some inqui.
rieS to find out. Jacobson has farm
in Dunn county and there is a band of
antelope that ranges in his neighbor-
bod. Last year they ate up his flax
and this year they are about already
with hungry eyes looking on the crop
he is putting in.
The law of the state protects ante.
lope for period of years and immuni-
ty from being hunted has made them
tame and disregardful of the rights
of property.
Now, Jacobson wants to know, in
the parlance of the street, where he
is to get off at. If he kills the ante
lope he violates the state law and if
he leaves them alone he loses part OF
his crop.
About the only solution of the mat
ter seems to be that some one be en-.
gagged to sit with a big stick and shoe
away the antelope.

NORWAY'S SONS OBSERVE
INDEPENDENCE DAY
ELABORATE oBsERvANcEs IN
MINNEAPOLIS MARK DAY LAST
SATURDAY SERUMGARD WAS
A SPEAKER.

Last Sunday, May II, was the Gath
anniversary of Independence day in
Norway. Fitting ceremonies were
participated in by Norwegians
throughout the United States. Many
local Norwegians of note absented
themselves from town over Sunday
for the purpose of observing the day
in other cities. Many went to Min
neapolis, where large delegation Of
their countrymen were assembled to
hear some patriotic addresses by Nor
wegians who have attained national
prominence.
Among the speakers at the Mime.
apolis gathering were County Attor-
ney Silver Serumgard of Devils Lake,
who made verp impassioned speech
to his listeners, exhorting them never
in their present prosperity to forget
the land of their birth, to constantly
bear in mind her long struggle for
freedom from the yoke of tyranny,
asking them to stand ready to defend
her hard earned freedom at any cost.
Loud cheers greeted his every utter
ance, and the chairman was compelled
to pound his gavel for some minutes
before order was restored.
Mr.. Serumgard was. followed by
Judge Oscar M. Torison of Chicago.
Judge Torison made most eloquent
appeal to his hearers to uphold the
dignity of their native land by lead
| ing such exemplary lives that those
| about them might be proud to have
| them as friends, and the nation as
| citizens. He painted very vivid
word picture of the many vicissitudes
through which their motherland had
| to pass in order to attain her present
| proud state of independence. With
1 what fortitude and bravery her sons
had given up their time and energy
I, to the accomplishment Of the one
great cause of liberty. Hundreds OF
those gathered in that vest hall threw
their hats up in the air, shouting and
| whistling as the speaker finished his
speech, making the old cobWebbed and
dust covered rafters ring with their
enthusiasm.
| A banquet followed the speeches, at
which several hundred of Norway's
native sons supped to the toast, Long
May Norway's independence Live"
Many of the local sons and daugh.
| tiers of Norway who remained in town
gathered at Maennerchoir hall for the
purpose of showing their love for their
fatherland in speech and song. A
large flag, 11xS feet, was received as
| the gift of some fellow Norwegians in
New York, at the unfurling of which
| loud applause broke forth. The hall
| was then cleared for the purpose OF
having an impromptu dance as fit
ting close to the ceremonies, which
was enjoyed by all present.

SHOOTING.

Deputy Game Warden Coons OF Nc.

ians near that place Sunday night
while they were indulging in the
harmless pastime of shooting ducks
out Of the game season without per-
NIT. When brought before Judge Gill
bert they gave their names as John
Doe, Richard Roe and Jimmy Harock.
After the fashion of Italy's sons they
all tried to present their respective
sides of the case at once, with the re.
sule that no one could understand
what they were trying to say. Judge
Gilbert placed them in charge of Sher.

or ten days. None of the trio have
paid their fines as yet, SO they are the
