Tbe Investigation.
Spartanburg Journal.
Tbls newspaper was tbe first lo the state to
sal J for an Investigation Into tbe affairs of
be state dispensary. We Insisted from time
o time as evidence of wrongdoing cropped
>ut. We believed that there was crooked*
less and when the legislature appointed a
lommlttee of good men amply supplied with
unds and powers to oompel witnesses to aptearaud
to produce books and letters, we
elt sure that those who bad been guilty oI
-grafting" or ol robbing tbe state, woald be
txposea.
Alter more than a year, tbe work of the Investigating
committee has thus fur proved a
allure. Not only bo, bat It would seem that
>y persistently bringing In Irrelevant mat*
er and making much ol nothing, the comnit
lee la about to give unwittingly a clean
>111 of health to a very sick patient.
It Is announced with a great flourish of
rumpetB that tbe committee finds mat beer
llspensarldq were not run as liquor dlspenlaries,
that tbey were virtually run on the
IcenBe system. Hurely tbat was never a
leoret. Tbeoommlttee could have lound oat
.be flat day ol their Investigation, tbat beer
llspensarles were Blmply required to pay to
.he state of South a flat royally of S3 per barvi
on every barrel of beer tbey gold; tbat
.hey made their own terms with breweries,
:hat tbey paid tbelr own expenses of bottling
ent, light, clerk hire, breakage, advertising
ind every other expense. This would have
mvedagreat deal of maddylng the waters
in d obscuring tbe issue, for tbe
jvldence as to breweries giving one beer dispenser
rebates oyer another Is not a matter
tbat concerns the Investigating committee or
.be state even remotely.
Beer dispensers In this state were precisely
jn the name footing as beer sellers In other
states exoept tbat Instead of paying an annual
license, they paid a flat royalty on what tbey
w>ld, of $3 per barrel. When tbat royalty Is
paid tbe state bas nothing whatever to do
with transactions between tbe brewery and
tbe dispenser nor with any of tbe transactions
of tbe dispenser except to see tbal be
ibeys the law with regard to tbe mode of
jelling.
Tbe committee finds tbat the Augusta
Brewery built an loe box and furnished $550
to Mr. Tbackston wben be was elected dls
penser. The breweries do ibis always when
a man starts In business and needs belp.
I'ney do it tn otber stales an J tbere Is not
tbe slightest moral turpitude In tbe transection.
Ii this money was used as a corruption
fund, tbat 1? another matter. If tbey chose
to give Mr. Narry a suit of clothes or a bouse
and let, tbat is tbelr business and Mr. Harry's
and not tbe states.
If tbe committee has evidence thai dispensers
have bribed county boards to give tbem
tbe position, tbat Is material. Tbat Is one of
tbe many things It was hoped the committee
would ascertain.
Of course, we cannot know what tbe committee
has In band until It Is given out
We hope tbey will develop sonaelblng*as to
why certain Arms were placed on tbe black*
list, why certain concerns got business at a
higher price than competitors, though If
kbey have such evidence It Is passing strange
that time sbould be wasted and tbe issues
confused with continually sifting over tbrlce
told tales of a county that has voted out tbe
dispensary and cannot now be concerned,
while other counties offer equally as Invlllng
fields for Investigation Into what Is going on
and likely to continue.

Oil at barrel prices. Don't let
them pay $1.20 a gallon for canned oil,
which ought to cost but 60 cents a gallon.
Ready mixed paint is about onehalf
oil and half paint. Buy oil fresh
from the barrel, and add it to the L. &
M. Paint, wbiob is eemi-mixed and
you then get a full gallon of paint at
the lowest price.
4 gallons L. & M. mixed with 3 gallons
Linseed Oil will paint a moderate
sized house.
Actual cost L. & M. about $1.20 per
gallon.
C. 8. Andrews, Ex-Mayor, Danbury,

years ago with L. & M. Looks well tolay."

Torture.
For more than twenty years Mr.
r. B. Massey, of 3322 Clinton St. Minleapolis,
Minn., was tortured by sciitica.
The pain and suffering which
le endured during this time is beyond
jompreheneion. Nothing gave him
my permanent relief until he used
Jhamberlain's Pain Bairn, One application
of that liniment relievd the
pain and made sleep and rest possible,
ind less than one bottle had effected a
permanent cure. If troubled with
viatica or rheumatism why not try a
25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see for
yourself how quickly it relieves the
pain. For bale by C. A. Milford Aboeville
