severe measure Of the injunction ask
ed for, especially as the evidence put
up by the State was mostly hearsay
and as detectives, hired for that
special purpose, were unable to find
anything wrong or against the laws
of the State in the clubs methods Of
operation.
The return made by the Bank Of
Sumter, which, as the owner of the
building in which the club has it's
rooms, was also enjoined, was that
Judge DeVore had no right to order a
perpetual injunction in chambers un-
der the present circumstances, that
no proceedings for an Injunction
could be brought except where GRIM
inal proceedings had already been
started and the person or party en-
joined would be tried as a criminal
offender at subsequent term of
the criminal court. 1t further al
legged that no summons had been
made on the respondent and that
that there was already one petition
by the same party for the same pur-
pose against the same respondent
and that two actions for the same
thing could not be brought by one
party against another party at the
same time. Mr.. Noise, who repre-
sented the Bank Of Sumter, then
made strong plea for the dismis-
sal Of the injunction on the ground
that government by injunction was
not democratic procedure; was
against the doctrine set forth in the
platform of the Democratic party
and against the doctrine of free gov
ernment. He dwelt on the fact, and
cited from various authorities that a
circuit judge had no authority in
chambers to grant a perpetual in
junction under circumstances as in
this case.
Judge DeVore in ruling IN the
case stated that he considere that
he had jurisdiction to grant the in
junction asked for. The evidence
put up on behalf Of the State as
submitted by Solicitor Stoll ,sas in
the form of afiidavits from >-arious
parties in the city, chief among
whom was Mayor Jennings, sta ting
that they believed the club TO be a
resort where alcoholic liquors wern
sold and was what the laws Of The
State call a common nuisance. II.
ID. G. Muldrow and Chief Bradford
submitted affidavits stating the fact
that the club had the appearance, of
being bar room when they raiCed

those to whom liquor had been ship
ped 10 1T the club was stbmi.,cd.

Of the club to whom the li1uvr was
shipped, the list Of names being

initials Of the persons left out. Judge
DeVore stated that the State should
have gone further than to merely
state that the place had the appear
ance Of bar, that it should have
enumerated in detail the ;rticles
that gave it the appearance OF being
such.
The petition for a perpetual IN
junction was therefore dismissed,
and the effort to prevent the club
from continuing operation as at
p esent was unsuccessful.
Mr.. d. D. Noise represented the
Bank Of Sumter, Geo. d. Levy and
r. Dozier Lee. the Eagles club and
Solicitor Stoll appeared on behalf Of
the State.
