other fraud order caught up with them.
The report says that these fraud ma
nipulators, who usually exploit bogus
mines. fake remedies and worthless
lands, constitute a distinct class of law
breakers. Among the wealthy Offend
ers who have been caught by the in
spectors are criminals who have posed
as respectable citizens, leaders in their
communities and personages in the
highest social and business circles.
Some of them were millionaires. en-

Suicide at Rock Hill.

- Columbia. July 10: The local police
department made a raid on the blind
tigers last night and pulled eight of
them. Nearly all the places visited
operated clubs on the main business
thoroughfare or were within one block
of the street. In all eight places stocks
of wines, beer and whisky were re-
covered for conf1scation by the police
and the tigers were released on cash
bonds Of $40.75. When the cases were
called in the police court this morning,
none Of the defendants made their ap-
pearance and the bonds were forfeit
ed. The eight places raided do not
represent the entire blind tiger frater-
nifty, but were the only ones visited
last night by the police.

WAREHOUSE LAW KILLED.
Supreme Court Handed Down Opinion
Last Friday.

The State Warehouse Commission
Act was declared unconstitutional, on
last Friday by the supreme court, In an
opinion by Chief Justice Gary and con-
CURED in by every justice sitting in the
case. Associate Justice Woods did not
sit in the case.
The chief grounds on which the act
Is declared to be unconstitutional are
that the action of the legislature In
providing for an appropriation of $3.50,
900 for this commission Is increasing
the public debt and the constitution
holds that before increasing the public
debt, the question must be passed on
by a two-thirds vote of the people in
a general state election, and that 1t
also provides for the issuing of receipts
which is contrary to Section Z, Article
10 of the Constitution
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-07-23
Second Reason.

The general assembly provided In
the act that of the s250,OO0 appropri-
ated for the warehouse commission,
$125,000 should. become available In
1912 and the other s125,000 in 1913, and
this Is held to be unconstitutional on
the ground that this is making appro-
priations for both 1912 and 1913 con-
trary to the constitution. The deci-
sion then concluded that the portions
Of the act which have been declared
unconstitutional render the whole null
and void in it's entirety.
The court holds that 1t Is construed
as the state exercising its right of po-
lice regulation and on that ground it
does not create a monopoly, but the
state is simply exercising its right OF
self defence, and the act Is not dis
criminatory in that the equal protec-
ton clause of the Fourteenth Amend
ment of the Federal Constitution does
not take from the state the power to
classify in the adoption Of police laws.
Police Regulation.
"Of course" says the opinion, "the
conclusion that the statute under con-
sideration is void in it's entirety does
not mean that in it's general scope 1t
Is not a police regulation. but that 1t
cannot be given effect in its present
form by reason of it's failure in GER
tain respects to comply with the re-
quirements of the constitution"

Judge Jones assembled a series of
allegations which to his mind conclu-
sively proved that Blease had always.
while posing as "the friend Of the poor
man." consistently favored corpora
tions, railways especially, and that at
this time he was subject at all hours,
in his office and in his home. to corpor-
alton and railroad influences. He had
pOintedly asked on every stump In
twenty-four counties IL anybody could
specify one thing the governor had
done for the poor man, and not yet had
a single admirer Of the governor ac-
cepted the challenge
He was not able, he said, to compre-
hend by what reasoning the governor
justified his attitude toward the pres
ent investigation Of the dispensary and
matters Herewith connected. more es-
pecially as his own honor had been
questioned. 1t would seem the proper
idea of the governors duty in such
circumstances not to obstruct or him
der the inquiry but to aid it actively,
to do all he could to facilitate the find
ing out Of the whole truth and to place
at the disposal Of the committee to that
end all the great powers Of his Office.
