Columbbia, April 12.--It is known. and practieally admitted by the at torneys for the dispensary commis sion that' the Richiland Distillh>g comrpany, of this city, which did ai business with the old State dispen saryi to the extent of nearly $4,000, 00.0, and against which was found an over-judgment for over $670,000, has, through its representatives, made t overtures for a settlement, which, would be a substantial gain for the State. Col. T. B. Felder, of the firm of Anderson, Felder, Wilson and Round tree, of Atlanta, who has represented the State in the litigation incident to the winding up of the affairs of the old State dispensary, is in Co lumbia for the purpose of meeting the commission at its session to be held Wedutsday. When asked con cerning he negotiations for settle-; ments by the Richland Distilling company be would neither deny or affirm the above statement. He did admit that the State would get- a large sum of money from the Rich land Distilling company. The commission, at its meeting to be held Wednesday, will go deeper into the affairs of the old State dis pensary, and the overcharges before the commission, took the affairs of the institution in hand, will be consid ered. It is likely that suits will be in stitited against several of the firms unless the amount found due in thel, books is paid. The' amount claimedl: by the State is over $500,000. The, company has been notified of the in tended action of tht commission, reg istered letters having been addressed to the heads of the different houses. The houses have been ordered to pro duce their books. Representatives of several of the firms have arrived in' the city and have filed a denial of the overcharges with the commission. None of these firms' have claims against the State as the business with them had beten settled before the commission took charge, so it will 'be seen that the investigation will be different from those in the past. One! of the main questions to be decided will be how to collect the claim against a firm which is located outside the State. Attorney General Lyon would not discuss the phase of the' question. Col. Felder's Statement. "The Richland Distilling dom pany,' said Col. Felder, "was or ganized with the ostensible object of ,distilling corn whiskies, the real ob ject was to deal with the South Carolina dispensary, and this is evi deneed by thie fact that the books will show that the- firm did approxi mately $4,000,000 worth of business with the dispensary during its ex istence. The Richland Distilling com pany sold all kinds of whiskies. "There is no way of knowing .the real stockholders of the concern. But we do know that during the life of the concern the stock was furnished by the Bernheim eompany of Louis ville; Block company, of Macon;' Lanahan company, of Baltimore, and James Farnum, of iCharleston-. The comamission in going through the~ books of the Richland Distilling corn pany fo'und that the State of South' Carolina had 'been overcharged for goods sold: to the exteunt of over $600, 000. The claims of the company had already been paid. Th-e commission, to recover this sum, has several courses. The lands and buildings of the company in Richland county have been held up. When this property has been sold if there is not enoug money to remunerate the State, tha, there are several other courses. Suit may be brought against the owners of the company for defrauding the State of South Carolina in: their re spe tive .States where they reside. f1'he case could be carried to . the United States supreme court under the elause which gives a $tete th* right to sue another State or the right for a State to sue an individual. "-Beyond all question or doiibt,'' he co~ntinued. "the State of South Caro lina wii.l recover a large sum from the Richland Distilling company. I will say that the sum which will be recovered either by litigation or nego tiation will be a considerable part of the $670,000. As I have said- before, I can ma.ke no definite saonouncement as to the payment of the claim against the Richla1nd Distilling comn pany, iby the State, but I will say that negot.ia0ions are pending and there will be some unusual announce ments within the next few days. We have the evidence on those fellows and they know it.'' Col. Felder was asked if it were not true that the representatives of several of the stockholders in the Richlanid Distilling conmny had of-, fer ed to pay t.he sum of .$100,000 if the Sta-te would abandon its claim. He only smiled and said the State' v:ould receive a much larger sum. Capt. W. W. Burley. Walhaflla, April 7.-Capt. W. W. Burley died suddenly at h-is home, two m.iles south of W\alha'lla, this' morning at 9 o'clock. He had been in poor health for some time, suf fering with weak heart.

Gilder and Weeks Give Facts Re garding Dyspepsia. Although indigestion and dys :epsita are so -prevalent, most people io not thoroughly understand their :ause and 'how to obtain relief. Thera s no reason why people should not at anything they desire-if they will only chew it carefolly a;nd thor oughly. Many actually starve them selves into sickness through fear of mting every good-looking, good smelling and good-tasting food, be cause it does not agree with them. . Dieting can .not cure idyspepsia. If we refuse every article of food that disagrees with us, before long we have nothing left, and find ourselves chronic dyspepties. We are so confident that we can furnish relief for indigestion and dyspepsia that we promise to sup ply the medicine free of all cost to every one who uses it according to directions who is not perfectly sat isfied with the results. We exact no promises and put no one under any dbligation whatever. Surely nothing could be fairer. We are located right here where you live, and our reputa tion should be sufficient assurance of the genuineness of our offer. We want every one who is trou bled with indigestion or dyspepsia in any form to come to our store and get a box of Rexall Dyipepsia Tab lets. Take them home, and give them a reasonable trial, according to di rections. They are very pleasant to ta:ke;. they soothe the irritable stom ach, strenxgthen and in.vigorate the d.igestive organs, promote~ a healthy and natural bowel action, almost im mediately relieve nausea and stom ach iritation, .produce healthy di gestion and assimilation, and pro rnote nutrition. A 25-ecent package of Rexall Dys pepsia Tablets furnishes 15 days' treatment. In ordinary cases this is sufficient to produce :complete relief. In more ehronic cases, a longer treat ment, of course, is necessary, and de pends upon the severity of the trou ble. For such cases we have two larg er sizes, 50 cents and $1.00.
