P* Fraser Lvon, of the dispensary ,r investigating committee, to Sen ?' ator Tillman's interview, pub lishod in our hist i.-sue, in which 111 no say s: | Senator Til 111 ui savs, 4 I liave l}1 not attacked i lie ihv<stiga injr "l committee. I only warned it in a ra friendly spirit." IIis reference to the commit- KI tee in his address stands for it ttI self, and I scarcely think he can I expect that this la'ter statement \11 can be understood as beniK con- 111 sistant with his tormer. In my ^ opinion it will he a very indul I al gent person who does not think j vv so. j lo The senator has made tlie won- :n derlul discovery that the $700,000 hi worth of claims against the hi State board are valid ami bind ti ing, or they are not. Perhaps a the entire committee will agree m to this statement when they J ht know the senator has said it. Hut j I" when he says : "They are not, c. because the whiskey wus bought j ^ i, contrary to law, and the Sta'e is 101 not legally bound for payment," la I hesitate, for I have no facts to | te base such conclusion on, only the tli opinion of a person himself un- In der investigation, and know of n> no law limiting the amount of ill Kty days we are going t? ig one of the famous St, U 2.00, but we are going nd ask for your coupon ic absolutely FREE. ix this Off rchases made in the dep; get none or as many as you for lie Small Re t you extra any where y o you. Remember, for / ock, s:?vo the version as cited 7 this same person. I am not miliar with a law that express limits the amount of goods at may be on hand to $400,000 have read 'An act relating tr spensarv profits,' acts 1002, ige 1102, in which it is provid I that the directors of the dig jnsary shall pay to the State easurer by January 1, 1004, all the rchool fund reported by em in excess of $400,000 ami akin# provision for a certain g quarterly thereafter the net ilit-i accruing to the Slate.

Tiie interview has represented the senator as saving that my pretext for delay is that 1 may , look into the lecorHs of the Mill Creek Distilling company to see whether tlwre aie any credits.
