PETITION IS DISMISSED.
SUPREME COURT SAYS THERE
is NO SPECIAL LEGISLA-
TION.
Opinion OF the Court Not Filed Yet
Fine Arguments on Both Sides of
the Question.

Columbia, Aug. 13.-The State su-.
preme court met in special session
yesterday to consider the petition
from Charleston to enjoin the cleo
tion on the dispensary question. The
matter was presented to Chief Justice
Jones at Lancaster and he called the
entire court to hear the matter.
The petitioner. T. M. Jellico. a rail-
road conductor. was represented by ].
p. Grace and w. A. Holman. The
county board Of election commission
ers was represented by Senator Huger
Sinkler. Gov. Ansel designated Hon.
M. L. Smith Of Camden to represent
the State Of South Carolina. Attor-
ney General Lyon had declined to
have anything to do with the case, as
1t was not part of his duties, and
furthermore he is a member Of the
State board OF canvasers.
The petitioners allege that the
prohibition law of 1909 is imperative
because 1t is special legislation and
also because 1t Is unconstitutional in
that the title does not set forth the
entire scope ofthe act. They alleged,
therefore, that all except that part
expressed in the title was void and
nugatory
Had the court sustained this view,
there would be prohibition in the
State from now until the general as
sembly meets. for the title of the act
says nothing about dispensaries. local
option elections. or anything else.
But the court did not take this view.
No opinion was filed yesterday, the
reason will be published later. But
the court made an announcement
that It's decision was that the petit
ton be dismissed.
One point at issue was that this
was special legislation. taking the
taxes or property Of the people Of the
whole State to pay the expenses Of
the election in 81 counties. Senator
Sinkler replied forcibly to this argu-
ment, declaring that no appropria-
tion for this specific purpose had
been made, but that the expenses
would he paid out Of taxes already
impounded.
Mr.. Smith replied especially to the
argument with reference to the sec-
tion of the complaint that the title
does not conform to the body OF the
act. He showed very skilfully that
the local option portion of the act,
while not in itself an :ronclad prohi-
bition statute, gives the possibility of
prohibition in those counties in
which there had been legal sale of
liquor, and therefore is in effect
prohibition feature.
Mr.. Holman argued very earnestly
that the act Of 1909 is special legisla.
tion in that 1t allows some counties to
settle the liquor question, while 9TH
er counties which have already voted
out the dispensary can vote again
when their four years of prohibition
shall be expired.
The arguments of the plaintiffs
attorneys were adroit and skillf.l,
but the decisions Of other courts
cited by Messrs. Sinkler ami Smith
seemed to be convincing thu. the act
Is not special IL .is'ati)n. nor does 1t
o"nhlct with tn. constitutional re-
qrtrcnients as 10 tir:es conforming 10
the body of the act.

Our real estate men act as though they
thought the nonresident readers of the
home papers are not interested in the
conditions in our county. When non
resident readers show their interest in
the conditions in our county sufficiently
to cause them to register a vigorous
kick because the publisher fails to give
the weather report, it looks somewhat
as though the real estate man might
possibly be mistaken about the lack of
interest on the part of the nonresident
reader.

The democrats of Nebraska have in
serted a plank in their state platform
declaring for an extra session of the
legislature in order if possible to be the
first legislature to vote on the income
tax assessment. The expense of an
ordinary extra session of legislature
would be a pretty high price to pay for
the honor of being the first state toap-
prove of the income tax amendment.
If there was any necessity for such
haste in acting on this amendment, it
would be a different proposition, but
there is no cause for haste as it will be
impossible to receive action on the
amendment till there has been time to
do so at the regular session of the state
legislatures.

Ruth Bryan-Leavitt Lecture.

Mrs. Ruth Bryann-Leavitt, daughter
of William j. Bryan, gave lecture at
the auditorium Tuesday evening, sub
ject "a Pilgrimage in Palestine. The
auditorium was filled to its full seating
capacity with an audience that gave
her undivided attention throughout the
lecture. The lecture was very interest
ing and instructive. Mrs. Leavitt has
very pleasing style as speaker and
her lecture was presented in way
that was highly pleasing to her audi
ence and the main features of the lee
ture will be fresh in the memory of
her hearers when those of many a lee
ture would be forgotten.
Using blackboard, she drew an out
line of Palestine and located her line of
travel from point to point She hand
les the subject in an able manner, not
from the viewpoint of the minister or
Bible student but rather from the view
point of a young woman who visits
Palestine more from motives Of curios-
lty than those Of the Bible student but
leaves there for home with all of the
enthusiasm Of the former. She closed
the lecture with the following beau,i-
full lines written by her:
