PRITCHARD REVERSED
BY JUDGE GARY
Special to The Georgian.
Columbia, S. C„ Aupr. 2.—Justice Er
nest Gary, of the state supreme court,
has delivered an opinion In the suit of
W. G. Oeraty akalnst the Atlnntlc Coast
Line Railroad Company. Judge Gary's
ruling Is of more than ordinary interest,
for it Is In direct opposition to a re
cent opinion handed down In the Fed
eral court by Judge J. C. Pritchard In
a similar "state rights" case.
This Is a case for damages against
the Atlantic Coast Line for a sum ex
ceeding 32,000. Relying upon the de
clslon of Judge Pritchard In the case
of Leo vs. the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
road Company, In which It was held
that tho defendant corporation was not
to be considered a domestic corporation
of the state of South Carolina, but a
Virginia corporation, and property
within the Jurisdiction of the United
Staten courts In such rases alleging
damages, the defendant company made
a motion before Judge Gary to set asldo
the service of summans In this case on
the ground that the defendant Is not a
corporation organized under tho laws
of South Carolina, as alleged In the
complaint. Judge Oary dismissed the
motion, holding that this railroad com
pany la a South Carolina corporation.

GRAFT, JUST GRAFT,
CHARGES 1, HALL
When the proposition to make appro
priations for paying the salaries of the
servants of the house of representatives
for the yearn 1108 and 1909, as con
tained in the appropriations bill, came
up for discussion before the house com
mittee on appropriations Thursday aft
ernoon, it met with strong remonstrance
from Mr. Hall, of Bibb.
“Graft, pure and simple,” exclaimed
the gentleman from Bibb county, ns he
arose to protest against making the ap
propriation. “This appropriation is
contrary to law. We are paying the
salaries of offices that do not exist. It
has been rewards for political services
that have caused these appropriations
In the past.
"The house of representatives at one
time had three gallery keepers which It
had no earthly use for, and one of them
told me that they split up the work and
only one stood guard each day. There
have been thousands of dollars drawn
from the treasury of the state by men
who have not done a lick of work and
It Is simply graft.”
Mr. Hall offered an amendment to
the bill, which provided that appro
priations for this purpose should be
mado for 1908 only, and it wus adopted
by a vote of 14 to 3.

For the past three months the par

vorce proceeding filed by Mrs. Mary
Ayers Harris against her husband, Eu
gene B. Harris, prominent merchant
