cOmpliShed under a systematic hand

| Lanterns statements that indictments
against more parties for participation
in the alleged graft of the dispensary
has been confirmed by Attorney Gen
eral Lyon. The question now is who
are they? 1t will be answered by the
grand jury when court cOnvenes. ....
Much interest centers in the term of
court beginning next Monday morning,
July 4th, by reason of the fact that the
| trial of JOdie NJ. RawlirSon and John
| Black, both under indictment for de-
| frauding the state while members of
the board of control of the old state
| dispensary, will be called Immediately
on the convening of court. Attorney
General Lyon has announced that he
will try these cases here next week
and everything is in readiness. Judge
Shipp of Florence, will preside. In the
case of Rawlinson there is apparently
nothing to prevent the trial Of his case
and it is likely that it will be taken up
Immediately on the convening of court.
An effort will possibly be made to
postpone this case also, but it will
hardly be done and the programme is
to take it up Immediately for trial.
