Columbia, Oct. i :.-Thd first see tion of the statement of Mr. ). A. U Ouzt.s, who was recently susplendo by the State board of control, w:i given to the press todity. Mr. Ouzts' "blow-oil" is intensely interestit: and promises to niak:tt an epoch it dislponisry slsal iolns. it is well ft road betwoou tho lines of what he lit given to the press. Mr. Ouzts's connection with it dispensary has perhaps been longe than that of auy one else, and he is in a position to know a thing or hn about the inside workings of the in. stitution. hiis first statement speaks for itsell and is as follows: A CARII) To 'TE I't'I 1l.1. It seems that the Angteati stablet 1(eed clean'ng. I im 0no I lercules but I can at least do a plrt of Ih< wcrk. I have ber t connected will the dispensary for ov'r' six yetars That I have leen honest and faithiu: in the discharge of imly duIties is plrovo.1 by the fact. that when m enelmies oin the board of cont rot wish 'd to displace le the only excist they could find for my removal wet an allegation that 1 had violated t rule of the board----a rule which twc members of the board assert wat modified to permit that which I wat discharged for doing. I amn at strong believer in the dispensary law, atnt have done all in my power to makt it a success. I still believe witi: its administration in the hands of honest, pure and able men it is th< very best solution of the liquor prob lenl. During my years of service in th< dispensary I have soon a number of things done which I know worc wrong. These I reported to mom bors of the board, who were I know honest., able and pure. They thought, however, that it was best to say nothing publicly about the wrong doing until men like themslves worn a majority of the board. Th~ley be lieved in the dispensary and earnest ly strove to make it a success. ha their judgment the dispensary conk1 not withstand the effect of such ox. posures, if its control was in tIc hands of the men against whom these exposures were made. The3 wanted to save the lawv for the groni potential good that was in it. But~ as the contrary element has growrn so confident of its power that it ha11 gone to turning honest men out o office at the dispensary, so as to fil all places with its tools, thus facili tating the carry i'g of its p)lans,1 deem it my duty to make public al 1 know, so as to expose theso men deeming it better that the dispen Rar*y should (lie than to contino under their control, but hoping tha the effect of my criticism will he te drive such men out of the dlisp)en sary and p)lace its ma[nagement i the hands of men abovo reproach. make this statement because I do no wish to be consIdered a sorehead o as exposing things I condoned a loog as I hold ofhico. I stand ready and bereby offer n: services to the board in helping ther sift out all wrong-doing of whatove kind which exists, and help thcr place the dlispensary lawv wherei should he, above reproach, and te er force its regulations~ ;n accordlane with law and conduct it in tI'o intet oats of tihe people, and not the gan which now controls it.
