preparing to do a record-breaking
business this fall and winter. All of
them are carrying the best classes of
stock. A glance at the show windows
of dozens of establishments on King
street will show displays never be-
fore equaled in this city.
Retailers believe that the home
trade will be large this season. But
they are convinced that their out-of-
town trade will increase with leaps
and bounds during the coming
months because of the refund fare
plan which was instituted by the
Retail Merchants association several
months ago and which has been
bringing in rich results. Customers
from every part of the State have
been brought to Charleston to re-
plenish their stocks, because of the
attractiveness of the proposition
brought to their attention by the
retailers of this city.

Vention to be held here in June. The
committee asks merchants and other
public spirited citizens to subscribe to
fund with which TO arrange an at
tractive list Of prizes to be awarded

played at a State firemen's conven-
ton.
This will be the largest meeting
ever held, Chief May has estimated

association require that every com
pany send a team to the convention.
This requirement has not heretofore
been enforced, but this year will
prove an exception.
Those who are in charge Of the

KERR HOLDS ON ALSO.
Cole l.. Blease,

Greenwood, March 9.-The latest
development in the magisterial situa-
ton at Greenwood is letter received
this morning from the governor by
Judge Kerr. In this letter MAGISTRATE
Kerr is told that his successor having
been appointed, his commission is re-
voked and Is null and void"
Previous to this the governor had
advised his appontee, j. w. Garfield
to go ahead transacting business as
magistrate and if at the end of 80
days Magistrate Kerr had not turned
over his books to him, Mr.. Garfield
1t would be in order to have a war
rant sworn out for him.
The notice Of revocation Of Magis-
trate Kerr's commission is another
move which Mr.. Kerr says can not
be sustained as the cause given. the
appointment of his successor, is not
one Of the three causes specified bv
law upon which his commission can
be revoked.

Beaufort, March 9.-Judge Gary
today at Walterboro issued a tempo
rary injunction against the men re-
Gently appointed township commits
sioners in Beaufort county in oppo-
sition to the recommendations of the
legislative delegation, and they are
cited to show cause why the tempo
rary injunction should not be made
permanent.
Gov. Blease, in appointing the
township commissioners, entirely ig-
nored the recommendations Of the
legislative delegation, in six Of the
seven townships in spite Of the pro-
vision Of the code that he shall ap-
point them upon the recommended
tion of the delegation.
The appointments were made, it is
understood, after a conference with
Thomas Talbird, a political follower
Of the governor, who opposed the
election of the members Of the Beau
fort delegation.
The governors action caused indig-
nation in Beaufort and as it is be-
lieved that the appointments made
by the governor are illegal it was de-
termined to take the case to the
courts.
1t is especially necessary that there
be no question as to the legality Of
the township commissioners because
they are to be entrusted with the
spending of $4,000 for the erec-
tion of bridge from Beaufort to the
opposite island.
Now that the restraining order has
been issued the case will have to be
argued upon question Of making the
order permanent and the decision of
this case may be a precedent that
will settle the other disputed appoint
ments in the State.

Monumental Egotism.

Governor Blease has written TO the
Chief Justice suggesting to him a list of
attorneys whose appointment as special
Judges will be h0nored. So far as we
can recall the action he has taken Is
without precedent in South Carolina
history. The law vests in the Supreme
Court or the Chief Justice thereof the
sole power Of choosing spe cial Judges.
The Governor is without authority to
reject recommendation made to him
by the Supreme Court or the Chief
Justice. The attitude adopted by the
Governor towards the Supreme Court
therefore, is not only marked by an
amazing disregard Of both statutes
and the proprietes, but it is as clear
an indication as any one can seek of
his seemingly fixed determination to
dominate all the branches of the gov
ernment in South Carolina He did
his best first to shape the course of
legislation in the General Assembly.
ana afterwards to nullify as far as
possible what that body has done, and
his persisted attempts to dictate to the
Supreme Court are without parallel.
If his aims and object be other than
the establishment OF a despotism the
meaning is we'll hidden. Certainly
the policy of rule or ruin has never
been better exempified in the Palmetto
state. 1t would be interesting to
