Edffefield Advertiser THUS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 12,1897. The arbitration treaty has failed in the Senate by a -vote of 43 for and 26 against. A two-third vote was necessary io ratiiy. The moral stench about the dis pensary matters in Columbia is in tolerable, Some one ought to be punished or, shall we all agree to play the rascal together? If honest men cannot be found to run the dispensory business at Columbia the whole thing had best be abandoned. A rotten roof ruins the whole house unless newly shingled. Let m re-shingle or tear down the structure. Rascality in high places invariably makes rascality in low places, and in all places. It sounds a little peculiar to us to hear men who used to denounce Republican protection as a rob bery, now advocating the same protection upon no higher ground than that, inasmuch as tho repub licans will force a high tariff on us any how, we just as well advocate it on all products and share the unnatural extortions of gain. Be cause the laws are powerless to stop robbery and brigandage, shall we join the robbers and the brig ands \uththe high (?) purpose of getting our share of the plunder. Such a spirit is contrary fco all of our history's proud and patriotic precedents.-Orangeburg Patriot. This is construed tc be a mild criticism of McLaurin, but Senator ' Tillman will be on the eame line except! that he promises to go further in his advocacy of protec tion than did McLaurin. THE BECKROGE TRUNK. About twenty affidavits have been made in the Beckrcge trunk scandal, of which tho following is a synopsis : The affidavits are sensational in the extreme and will result in the arrest of two and possibly more dispensary officials. The evidence is very long and conflicting. " The first and most criminal affida vit is that of Charle J. Lyuch, who swears that Scruggs invited hin: into the contraband room to get some cigars, and he took a key out of his pocket and said, "Don't tell anyone I have got this k3y," and when he was going with Lynch, to whom he had given three boxes of cigars, he told Lynch to wait "un til I sje if there is any one in the hall." Lynch swears that Scruggs told him to hide the things so Blakely could not see them. By dirction of Scruggs he gave ?iob?y one of the boxes of cigars. He told Mobly that Scruggs had a hocus pocus to the contrabrand room. He kept the cigars for future and reported the facts to Douthit and Williams of the board. Commissioner Gaston swears that he had to put on a new lock on the contraband room to keep others out of it. He also filed a copy of a report he had sent to the State board of control complaining of a duplicate key being used on the contraband room. Mr. Scruggs, after relating the transactions as to the trunk, swears that he used the key of the contab and which belonged to the State board of control and which was in his custody and with Lynch got four boxes of cigars and four boxes of peaches, and that the cigars and peaches were utterly valueless to the State He said that he had paid for corn liquor at a higher price ! than the State bought it. In tak ing the cigars and peaches to give to give to the boys, he said that he was only following a custom which has been in vogue ever since he was in the dispensary, and not having any idea of doing, hs ?ave two members of the board s^me and told them where he had gotten them. Blakely, he said was hie mortal enemy. Commissioner Vance swears that on the 29th of April Gaston voluntarily came to him and paid him a dollar for a pair of shoes and twenty five cents for cigars. These are supposed to come from the Beckroge trunk. Mr. Mobly and Mr. Charles testify as to Lynch bringing in the cigars and peaches and distribution of the spoils. Mobly, Charles and Lynch ate from two boxes of the peaches and served some to Scruggs on a paper cutter. A locksmith from Huseman'f testifies as to the work he did on the door in Scraggs' behalf, that he reported fixing the lock to Scruggs and left two keys in the door or delivered them. Col. Jones testifies that the arteles saved haven'* been turned over to him. The warrants against two of the dispensary officias will charge official miscondnct and larceny. OANTTS HANDS. . The Spartanburg Herald has the following interview with Col. Larry Gantt anent the dispensary scandal : Col. Gantt was seen by The Herald and talked vury freely. He says they have drawn his name into this dispensary scandal and be now wants the calium light turned on the entire party, from Ben Tillman down, He says he wants a legislative investigating -committee with full power to send persor>3 and papers, and he wants to have X rays turned ou himself first. "My hands are clean," said Col. Gantt, "I have no rebates, but I would like to know how it is that the present dispensary manage ment with all its scandals has given the State $41,000 in rebates, while the dispeusary under Tillman and Traxler paid from $5,000 to $11, 000 per car load more for whiskey a d didn't turn in any rebates to the State." "I am going lo be prosecutor now and I want the light turned on. Let the man who is guilty suffer 1 have stood by Scruggs, but if his hands are not clean I will denounce him as qu:ck as anybody. My motto i?, ''Let not a guilty man escape." "But here is something you can put in The Herald. On one occaion Dan Tompkins told rae in the presence of others, not confidence but in a crowd, that while Traxler was dispenser, on one occasion the dispensary ran out of corn liquor, and they went out and made some. He didn't say what they made it of, but that a few days after that a friend of Governor Tillman from Loxiugtou county sent him in a bottle of that liquor lie had bought for medical purposes aud made great complaint. The governor put it on a shelf in his office and some time afterwarde a friend came in and wanted a driuk and this bottle was given him and he pronouced it the best he ever tasted. Justhiw this stood the chemist as chemically pure I don't know. Major 13. B. Evans altewards told me he heard Dan Tompkins tell me this incident." "Yes sir, you put me down as saying I want an investgation from Hell to Holland. I know a good deal and all I ask ie for those who have formed opinions on the "Dear Clark" letter to simply wait until this thing is inves tigated. I want the light turned on and it will put some men in a mighty bad fix when it is finished." Resignation Now in Order. MR. EDITOR: Don't you think that those gentlemen now eitizei.s of Greenwood county, who were elected last fall to represent Edge field county in the legislative hails, as well as those who at the same time were elected to certain county offices, should resign their respec tive positions at once, (and apologise for not doing so sooner) and let Edgefield men be (elected without delay to fill Edge I field offices/ We, "the people." do. And we think it would be emi nently right and proper fer them to do so; and that their sense of propriety should prompt them to hand in their resignations as speedily as possible. The Edye [fieldpeople want Edgefieldpeople to 'represent them in office-and out siders should not dssire to do so. "A word to the wise is sufficient." HOME RULE. Bright Railroad and Bank Prospects. For several days railroad talk bas been rife in the land, on Tuesday of this week it largely materialized in the shape of an enthusiastic meetiug in the court house. Mr. B. W. Crouch stated the object of the meeting, and Hon. Jno. C. Sheppard was chosen chairman and made some very appropriate and encouraging remarks. A. B. Cargile was chosen secretary. The following resolutions ?vere offered by A. S Tompkins, Esq., of the Fdgefield bar: Whereas, tho town of Saluda is quite a distance from any Railroad and inaccessible to the commercial world. And whereas the town'has been regularly laid out-Court House and public buildings completed together with various enterprises incident to a county seat of a prosperous county, many other enterprises in prosect, and Whereas, a railroad is already graded from Augusta, Ga., via Edgefield up through Saluda to Newberry, Therefore be it reso ved, that it is the sense of the people of Saluda county at a meeting assembled that, a railroad be put into active operation at once from Augusta Ga., to Newberry Court House, So Carolina, via. the town of Saluda C. H, And that we hereby suggest that the Hon. Patrick Walsh of Augusta be made President and that Hon. Geo. Johnstone of Newberrv be made vice-President And that we pledge ourselves to do everything in our pow^r to promote the same. Resolved further. That public meetings be arranged and held along the line from Augusta to Newberry, That these resolutions be published in Augusta Chronicle, Edgefield, Saluda and Newberry papers. Themorion to adopt was made by P. B. Mayson, Esq,, who spoke on the resources of the county. Mr. B. W. Crouch seconded, fol lowing with an expression ot gratitude to Mr. W. J. Gaines and members of the Newberrv and Edgefield bars present for their interest in the movement. Hon. Geo Johnstone spoke at length on the status of railroad matters in Saluda. He explained that the C. N& L., road was built under more trying circumstances than we have to confront ; also that the scheme might be opposed by the Southern or A it K. and that it were best to join with parties intending to compete with these lines. Mr. W. J. Gaines explained how that Mr. Walsh was in a position to be of much benefit tn tho scheme, on accunt of hi. position in finanevs and journal ism. He also explained the ad iii^HiijiaijflfliijjHBflHH vantages of a connection with the Cumberland Gap. Mr. A. S. Tompkins explained the existence of a road bed already made, and the existence of material all along the line to tie and trestle it. The chairman then said that the next thing was the esrbiish ment of a bank here, and suggested a stock committee to work it up and saggested also that the first installment of stock be payable whea first cotton is sjld and thea small installment, say, every sixty days. Mr. Crouch spoke of corres pondence in reference to the matter wherein he had received much encouragement, and then nominated the following gentle men lo compose the stock com mittee: Alvin Etheredgo W. A. Strom, A. S. Tompkin?, J. A. Attaway and Dr. J F Daniel, Mr. Etheredge amended by adding Hon J H Edwards and B W Crouch. Committee met on Wednesday and employed Mr. Gaines to solicit stock for th?? bank. Mr. Gaines saved the Farmer's Bank of Edge field, built a bank in Anderson o Abbeville, and has had rm u experience in the work. Mr. Guinea will meet the people . : appoint ments to be hereafter announced, aud vre hope he will be tuet with liberal subscriptions. Weare going to have a bank, and all who want to labor for the general advant ages of Saluda county should get on the baudwagon. Let the good work go on.-Saluda Sentinel. No More "Wire Tires. Col D. P. Duncan, mauag?r of the State Alliance exchange, yesterday afternoon returned from Washington, where he has been several days ni business of great importance to the cotton growers of the State. He went >n to Suinter in the afternoon. Col. Duncan, it will be remem bered, led the light mad: last year in many of the Southern States, particularly in South Carolina, against the flat cotton tie tnu-t, introducing a wire which, airer a big fight, the importers wert- forced to accept. Before the season was oui thousands of the wire ties were j manufactured and sold all through | South, many of the avowers then boycotting the flat tie trusl which had them at its mercy so long. Colonel Duncan has found from his visit to New York that the farmers will have no more trouble about the tie trust. Several companies have gone to manu facturing the fla', ties ou ti arg'1 scale and they are now offering li; purchasers all the Hat ties that they can handle at 15 cents a bun dle less than the actual wire used last season could be bought at. In other words, the price;* have lallen, the t?as ties can be purchased at 15 cents less per but die than the crude wire to be made into the ties eau be bought at.-The State; UNION MEETING.
