Columbia, ()<*t. 31.?.I Dudley Hazelden, chairman of the board >f dispensary commissioners, in Ins second card summarizes as follows : llTo the People of the State : Believing that yesterday's publication of letters and certificates is sufficient to repudiate the barges of how 1 paid my debts, I dial I refrain from publishing othsrs in my possession giving testimony along the same lino. So 1 shall take up the charge or nsinuntion that I influenced, or why I didn't investigate why it was that Dillion und Marion dispensers purchased goods from louses represented by friends and -elatives of mine. This 1 deny to ie true. In all the history of my jonnoctious with the dispensary 1 mvt> never yet mutilated to any 1 no an to what brands of goods should be purchased other than to' uirry a full line of goods whenever iracticable. The plain truth is' I've never had any choice in the natter. I submit for your conlideration affidavits only of the ) I aces he h is mentioned. 1'hoy peak for themselves. "In to-day's issue I shall also ake up the charge of mv trying 0 cajole and the insinuation of ntimidating employees to vote 'or W. McB Sloan for mayor igainst Col. T #1 Lipscomb. This 1 also deny and pronounce as false [ did ask Ouzts and some one or wo others not to take so much dock in the election, for too much was being said already about the hspensarv being used as a political machine, which Ouzts must ldmit he was doing to the detri inent of his work. 1 ask your attention to the affidavits of the hands who were working here at that time. They tell the tale as it really was and it must be remembered that these men signing these aflidavits are not all in tho employ of the dispensary now ; I lesire to state frankly that trying to influence the votes of men unler me is something I never do. Respectfully, .J Dudley Hazelden." He follows this up with aflidavits from tho Marion county dispensers that lla/.elden never advocated or sought to push any brand if liquors Ho has a long string if affidavits from dispensary em ployeea showing that he never nought to influence their votes in the Columbia municipal fight, but insintod on their not mixing up in city politics. Ouzts replies to Ilazeldcn's first card todav. Ho says that ILizellen went of! at something to which he attached much importance. He simply asked Hazelden whether he had not said that he paid $10,D00 of debts in Marion since ho got on tho hoard. Ouzts says Hazelden made this remark to Leon J Williams, Bookman and others and if there was nothing in the remark he wants to know why he made it. He says Hazelden paid other mortgages and gives a list of mortgages owed by Hazel, den of which lie claims Hazelden made no mention. Iioth Appear Again in Letters Accusing and Ponying. Columbia, Nov 1?Outzs and Haselden are each out in cards again today. Outzs makes a denial of the statement* of Haselden, and aays Haselden doe* not touch the allegations against him, but dodge* the issue. Outzs says no wonder Haselden does not try to influence his help, because Haselden em ploys nothing but convict help. He has atliduvits from Charles Lynch, in which Lynch says Haselden spoke to him about trying to got Sloan votes for mayor of Columbia at the dispensary. Haseldon presentsanothcr string of affidavits to show ho did not try to influence dispensary votes and denies the charge of conspiracy and the Kirkland interview. GOLD STANDARD AND MORE MONEY. Secretary Gage Will Crgo That the Currency of the Country be More Flexible. Washington, Oct 31 ? Enactment of the gold standard into law and reform of the banking currency luws so as to givo the country a more elastic bank noto currency will be the loading recommendations of Secretary Gage's annual report. W hen the secretary wont before the banking and currency commiss >n of the house of repre 1 sentatives early in tho present administration and declared emphatically for the enactment of tho gold standard into law, he startled many of his party associates. lie stood his ground, however, and has had the satisfaction of the rank and file of his party, with some exceptions, come up to tho standard which ho has planted. In tho samo way tho secretary will now take advanced ground in favor of hank reform and the system of hanking which will allow hanks to issue their own notes to meet oxtra< r liary demands for currency. The secretary heliavea that a system of hank note issue* can he devised which will insure the safety of the note holder and at tho same time will not endanger tho safety of tho money intrusted to the hanks hy depositors. lie will recommend tho enactment of a law providing for the issue of notes against deposits of honds and greenbacks, treasury notes or silver certificates, and allowing the hanks to issue additionally notes against thoir assets. Tho details of tho plan will he practically the samo as those which he recommended in his first annual report in 1897. Tho advantage of enabling hanks to issue notes against their assets under restrictions and regulations which would insure the absolute safety of tho notes, it is stated, is that they would thus he able to put out additional circulation at times when money was in demand and to retire their notes as soon as the necessity for the increased circulation had passed. This would prevent ths I great increase in interest rates which now occurs periodically, | and would not produco at times such a phelhora of money as to lead inevitably to over specula* tion.
