GAT WHS.
iNTI-DISPENSARY COMMITTF.t
MAS NOT YET GIVEN PROOF.
The dispatches from Augusta pub
shed in the South Carolina papers of
he dispensary in North Augusta
a used Representative Crott Tuesday
it rise to h question of personal priv
ege and vigorously to denounce cer
111 relied ions which lie said had
cen cast upon him.
Last week when Mr. Lane of Marl
oro had passed a resolution condein
ing the action of the Aiken county
oard, iu establishing the dispensary
* North Augusta, as undemocratic,
Ir. Croft who was out of the house
t (he lime, had the resolution ic
ailed later and taken from the record
11 the course of his remarks Mr.
Iroft and that he had as attorney
[ presented to tlie Aiken boird that
lie dispensary should he established
nd thai certain ministers bad stated
h it while tliey were willing for |a
ispensary to be established at llainp
m Terrace hotel they we e not wi!
ng for it to lie established in the
awn of North Augusta.
It was this statement that caused a
ispalcli to be sent nut from Augusta
Lat.ing that the ministers el Augusta
ere indignant ami would soul a com
lillce to Columbia, at the same time
barging that Mr. Croft waj a rupri
jntallve of liquor interests.
Mr. Croft said that he had been
rosslv misrepresented in these (lis
atcbes and he would have liked Ver>
inch to lace this Augusta committee,
hie at the last moment failed t<
urn up. He wished to say that In
,'presented no liq 'or interests, that
e hud appeared before the board
it bout even accepting a fee, although
b would have been justiiied in taking
nc for Ids legal work, and any state
lentt) the contrary could be noth
ig but a deliberate lie. i lie Angus
l interests iiad shown themselves
Bcldcdly lacking in courtesy, to say
:e least hi tin: statements they have
mt out to prejudice the general
isetnbly.
Mr. Croft then read ?-ta*.eraents
om tl e Aiken pipers, which he said
id been written by a prohibitionist
hich substantiate his position and
2 presented ailidavits along tlie same
nc.
Afterwards the house passed a
solution endorsing the statement

nil exonerating niin.
