SUPHKM10 COUltT SAYS E'lMTCH
AMD'S ACTION IS A NU MTV.
Tlic Opinion in Court in thu Dispen
sary (-a.se Declares His AssumpUou
ot' Jurisdiction Unwarranted.
The South Carolina Supreme Court
declures thal neither tho Federal
Court nor any other Court has juris
diction lo control Hu? commission io
wind up the State dispensary, and
Hutt tile adjudication of claims
against tho dispensary is solely with
in the power of tho commission,
which is the agent of tho Stale ns
hutch as the Slate Treasurer is.
The Court intim?tes thal Judge
Pritchard should now step aside and
permit the interpretation of tho State
Supremo Court lo rule, bul thal il
ho will nol do SO Hie case can ho
taken to Ibo United Stales Supremo
Court, where, following tho usual
rule, thi- Slate Conn will Pe follow
ed in th?' interpretation of a State
law rather than the federal Circuit
Coul l.
The ease came np in this way: At
torney General Lyon presented to tho
Court a petition for mandamus, alleg
ing that the commission declined to
pay into I lie State treasury, tor use
in prosecuting Hie alleged dispen
sary grafters, tho sum sot aside hy
the Legislature for that purpose. The
commission ass?.ted thal lintier the
order ot' Judge Pritchard i hey wore
res)rained from paying oui any fumls
at all.
Air. Lyon held that the order of
.lillie?' 1'rltChard t<i tin. offed was of
no force und effect, as the federal
Judge has no jurisdiction in the mai
lor, and this position Hie Supremo
Court upholds. for the petitioner
Attorney (Sonera) Lyon and .Mr. Li.
L. Aluiey argued Hie case, and the
commission was represented hy its
r?gulai- counsel, Mr. W. I-'. Steven

SHOT HIS RIVAL
Because He Walked Home With a
Young Lady and Then
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
At .Marion a Young Ri an Walk? Into
Coll?n Mill, Shoot and Dangerous
ly Wounds Another Voling Man
and on His Way Homo t*uts Bullet
Through His Urah'.-Community
Terribly Shocked.
A dispatch lo Tho Nows and Cour
ier says thc colton mill village ill tho
eastern surbucbs ol' Marion was ter
ribly shocked by a double tragedy,
which occurred Friday morning as
a result of which one man is dead
and another dangerously wounded.
Al about S o'clock Luther Howitt,
a young man who had been un until
a few days ago, au employee in tho
mill, walked into the mill, where Ar
thur Stephens was at work, and alter
saying only a lew words to him tired
at him at a distance of about one or
two steps, the ball taking effect ill
..is neck, passing to thc right of
his windpipe. Stephens immediately
ran, bul was shot again at a distance
ol' a lew steps, this ball hitting him
in I lu- back .inst over tho left shoul
der, causing him io fall.
Howitt, evidently thinking that, ho
had killed the man turned deliberate
ly and walked out of the mill and
toward his father's house, but when
within a short distance of his home,
turned the pistol and hied af his own
head, but missed tho first time. Tho
second attempt, however, was suc
cessful. He held the pistol to his
right tcmplo-nnd bred, killing him
self instantly.
Dr. Z. tl. Smith was hastily sum
moned, and reached tho wounded
..ian i', moil a iuw mnUftesT^?UU': hm.
Ititi) that neither of tho balls could
bo easily located, he decided to tako
his patient to the hospital in Flor
ance, where he hopes that with tho
uso of an X-ray machine, the balks
may bo located, extracted and thu
man's life saved.
Tho train from Wilmington to
Florence was at tho station at tho
limo ho examination o? Mr. Howitt
was being made, and Conductor
Iones kindly consented to hold tho
i rain for ton minutes uni il tho
wounded man could bo placed upon
it, and this was done within that
limo, Dr. Smith accompanying him
Lo tho hospital.
Thc alleged cause of tho trouble
is said to bo that young Stephens
tva I ked home from a parly last night
with a young lady to whom tho d?s
:easod was very much attached. Hut
tho general Impression among tho
Irlends o? both parties is that Hew
itt's mind must have been unbalau
:ed, although bo had not shown any
previous symptoms ol' mental de
rangement.
Wither of those young .inion is
married, both of them living in tho
mill village with their parents. Tho
deceased was a son of Mr. W. D.
Hewitt tho night watchman at tho
juill, and Arthur Stephens is tho son
ol' Mr. and .Mrs .1. H. Stephens. Doth
ol' tho families aro natives of Mari
