some $40,000 against the dispensary
as between the dispensary books and
the state treasurer's books.
* As to Mr. Boykln's $48,000 label
purchase. Mr. Charles said that the
committee to take charge of this
work and the establishment of lh?
bottling plant was appointed on
Chairman Evans's motion, he appointing
Commissioner Tatum and
Director Boykin. The labels were
bought of Nlvlson, Welskopl & Co.,
* but had not yet been paid for. There
were bids from several houses, bi.t
there was no advertisement for bids.
No South Carolina concern was asked
to bid. There were seven kinds of labels
in the order, one million of each
kind.
No Bids For Label Contracts.
Mr. Charles said the cheap labels
w were printed In Columbia by the Record
people at 25 cents a thousand.
Witness could not recall that the Bryan
company printed them at one time
for 11 cents a thousand.
Witness admitted whisky houses
were willing to ftfrnlsh labels free until
the board stopped.
The bill for the fancy labels was
*. . placed In evidence and the witness
promised to bring up samples of present
cheap labels, and those furnished
some time ago by the Bryan concern.
At one time the State company printed
some of these labels.
Witness saw letters containing bids
on the fancy labels, but these letters
had tpeen carried away by Mr. Boykin
to Cincinnati. Witness supposed
Mr. Boykin had these letters and bids
N at home and would return them later.
As to the claim against Bryan Lawrence.
witness agreed that it has been
apparent for some time that the dispensary
and Mr. Lawrence wouid never
agree. Mr. Lawrence agreed to pay
$2,600, but the board held out for $$,604.
"Hasn't Mr. Lawrence agreed to be
sued either in Augusta or In Charleston?"
"Can't say as. to that."
v "Hasn't Mr. Lawrence acted In a
rather defiant manner In this matter
toward the state of South Carolina?"
"Well, from the last letters on the
subject, I would say that he has."
"Was that Just an ordinary bluff or
did he seem to have something up his
sleeve?"
"I don't know what he had in reserve."
Witness was asked to look up the
record of a recent large purchase of
bottles, when they came In by the
train load. The Carolina Glass company
furnishes the bulk of the bottles
used at the dispensary.
"Mr. Charles, does the board ever
award a purchase where the bid Is
not accompanied by a sample?"
"Couldn't be positive as to that."
Ktliey Letter* Introduced.
At the opening of the morning ses^
slon of the dispensary Investigation
commission. Representative Gaston
sprung a sensation at the first dash
out of the box. by Introducing the letters
of J. W. Kelley & Company to
their state agent. Col. T. M. Mixon.
Mr. Gaston prefaced the Introduction
by asserting that the letters showed
that, if there is anything wrong going
on with the South Carolina dispensary.
the wrong-doing is in high
? places as well as among the county
dispensary managements.
"These letters show that the whisky
houses are debauching the state of
South Carolina through Its officers in
the dispensary directorate." said Mr.
Gaston, with a voice ringing with indignation.
"They show that these Kelley
people had reason to know before
hand what orders to expect of the
board, and. while the nature of confidences
between representatives of
(he firm and members of the board In
distant cities Is stll} veiled in secrecy,
enough Is revealed to show that members
of the board have flagrantly violated
the laws of South Carolina regarding
the management of the dispensary."
The Letters Read.
Mr. Gaston then proceeded to read
extracts from the letters. These extracts
made an Interesting connected
story of the campaign the Kelley people
instituted whereby they Increased
their sales to the South Carolina dispensary
from nothing to 1.500 cases at
a clip, the stuff coming in first in the
form of a 100-case order and finally
by the car-load. Here Is the first of
the extracts:
v Jan. 10: "See what you can do with
the members of the board."
March 15: "Disappointed you did
not get In with the board at this
meeting: We must get the price by
the dispensers reduced. Arrangements
made for meeting in Atlanta."
March 24, 1904: "Mr. White has
Just returned from Atlanta, and everything
is entirely satisfactory. The
price of the goods will be lowered, and
we wish you to see all of the dispensers
that you can from now until the next
board meeting, and endeavor to get
them to put in a requisition for both
Deep and Silver Springs. Those you
cannot see write to at once and endeavor
to have them do the same thing.
r * especially the ones whom you know
personally. We suppose, of course,
that you do not talk about these things
to any one. but in order to be on the
safe side wish to ask you to be very
circumspect In regard to our business
with the dispensary, as an unguarded
remark might make considerable trouble
for us."
April 8: "Shipped two cases to D.
H. Charles (secretary of the board) to
^ be given away. Rest among the dispensers."
May 17: "Keep up your work with
the dispensers. Shipped three cases
to the Metropolitan and Columbia
clubs."
May 25: "Let us know what day
our friends will be here so we can
nurse them and fire them up."
May 31: "Met South Carolina dele*
gatlon and did everything to make
them feel happy. They had a big time

ed this was a party of men from a*l
over the state).
Here was read a letter from Houston
Rucker of Chester, to Kelley &
Company, complaining of the watered
condition of a bottle of their goods
procured from the dispensary and ordering
some to be sent direct to him
at Columbia?"some of the genuine
stuff that the colonel carries about
with him on his trips to give to his
friends."
June 8: "Hope to receive large orders.
Hope the retail price will be
reduced. Try and get our friend to
advise us when he will be here so that
we can look after him."
June 10: "If you can let us know
when to epect our friend, will rush
* 300 cases."
June 29: "Understood retail price
had been reduced. Have shipped Towlll
and Boykin cases as you direct."
July 11: "Congratulates the colonel
on his winning ways. Believe all
members of the board our friends
row."
Aug. 9: "Demands coming in from
individuals referred to county dispensers."
Sept. 7: "Arrangements for conference
in Columbia between the firm's
representatives. White and Lezenski
and Mixon and members of the
board."
Sept. 15: "Party we wanted to see
was here yesterday. Sorry we didn't
see B. and T. In regard to the case
left at hotel told Mr. Evans he could
have It. Will send B. and T. case each.
As to J. W. Harmon (dispenser at
Spartanburg) have aln idy sent him
two cases and regard his request as a
gouge but will ship."
Oct. 10. "White saw our friend in
Atlanta and fixed things up with him."
Letter from Col. D. Cardwell, division
freight agent of the Southern, reporting
on traces of case shipped to
Director Towill, says case of "mineral
water" at Batesburg for him and
water, in sarcastic mariner, to South
Carolina state officers violating the
law by having whisky shipped them
as mineral water."
Nov. 2: "Ready ant: waiting for
order of 10th. (Mr. GaMon: You will
note the firm anticlpat -s orders not
yet made).
Vnv 7! "Bv 15th will be ready to
make car-load shipment when order
arrives. Writing to Evans also."
Nov. 19: "First car on road and
large car to follow In few days."
Dec. 5: "Completed shipment of the
1,500 cases. Hope for another good
order at next meeting."
Afternoon Senion.
Gen. Wllie Jones, cashier of the Carolina
National Bank, snd chairman of
the state board in Its early history and
again connected with It with H. H.
Evans last year, was put on the stand.
He testified to the methods used at the
two periods. He surprised Chairman
Fraser by asserting that, though whisky
may be "chemically pure" it may
be unfit to drink?may not be palatable.
He admitted that when he was chairman
in 1898 Lanahan & Son made a
deposit of )40,000 in his bank but said
this was promptly withdrawn at his
(Jones') request. General Jones said
that in the old days ar high as 560,000
was turned in to the state in one year
on rebates, although the business then i
was one-third what It Is now.
He could not explain why rebates
were not secured to the state now.
He thought the measure in which the
present board advertised for bids asking
for bids on one X-rye at "not less
than 81.50" was unbusiness-like.
Trouble In Getting Drafts Paid.
W. W. Harris, formerly clerk of the
constabulary department, but until
recently the state representative of the
Mallard whisky house, was the next
witness. He admitted his house recently
had much trouble getting two |
drafts paid. Until a resolution of the I
board stopped the practice, his house '
paid county dispensers 25 cents each
for empty Mallard boxes returned and i
added 75 cents if these boxes were <
__ i
filled with empty Mallard Bottles. He
said the Bleuthenthal & Blckett peo- |
pie got around the resolution by having
the dispensers ship to "X. Y. Z.,
Atlanta. Qa."
Witness admitted working with the
board to get the salary of the Sumter
dispenser raised.
Representative Gaston'. "Is there any
other statement you wish to make, Mr.
Harris T
Mr. Harris: "Yes: I want to say to
Chief Fant or any other man says I ,
solicited or accepted any money from
any constable to get or try to get him
a place on the force that he lied." '
Evidence will be introduced tomorrow
to show that the purchases award- (
ed the Lanahan people, who are said |
| to have tried to bribe Col. Mixon, have ]
enormously Increased lately. The
awards In the last five years total
$543,800.99 and last yea: the Richland j
distillery people alone sold the state
dispensary over $1,000,000 worth of
goods. Mr. S. J. Lanaran Is a direc- ,
tor In the company.
There was a slight show of feeling
between the sub-committee, compos- (
ed on the one side of Messrs. Lyon
and Chrlstensen. and on the other of
Messrs. Gaston and Spivey.
Mr. Gaston was about to openly
complain of Messrs. Lyon and Chrlstensen
"butting in" on their witness,
Mr. W. W. Harris when Chairman
Fraser saved any unpleasantness by
abruptly excusing the witness.
Both Attorney General Gunter and
Lawyer William McGowan deny any
connection with or knowledge of the
alleged machine. Chief Constable Fant
testified they were running to turn
out constabulary jobs at a profit for
themselves. Mr. GUnteFs denial was
published today and Mr. McGowan
made denial today. He says he never
spoke to Attorney General Gunter
about securing appointments on the
constabulary' force In his life, except
probably one time, which was about
four months ago. All of his dealings
with the dispensary people had been
those of an attorney.
Commission Adjourns.
The present session of the dispensary
investigation committee was adjourned
sine die tonight. But the
work of the commission Is by no means
over. There will be several other sessions
and the revelations to come are
expected to be of greater Importance
than those already made.
? Southern .Visitor: Several colonies
will soon be brought to South Carolina
and settled In different parts of
the state?a colony or Scandinavians
on 10.000 acres of land between Trenton
and Croft stations, approaching
the city of Aiken, and a colony of
Finns on 20,000 acres at McBee. in
Chesterfield county. The Aiken tract
Is expected to be occupied by the colonists
within the next sixty days, and
the McBee tract will be occupied by
the Finns just as soon as possible.
Another tract of 2f,000 acres in
Chesterfield county will be settled by
Scandinavaians. The colonization of
these Scandinavians and Finns will
be effected by the Southern Colonial
Immigration association of Charleston,
which has been chartered with a
capital of J 100,000. These colonies
will be followed by other colonies
from northern Europe. The Scandinavians
and the Finns are all Lutherans
and the colonists will no doubt
bring their own pastors with them,
but it is the duty of the South Carolina
synod to look after them and
hold them to their church.
? Lancaster special of Saturday to
the News and Courier: County Supervisor
Gardner and a committee of Prohibitionists
were engaged all day yesterday
in comparing the names to the
petitions for an election under the
Brice law with the registration books.
They have a big Job before them and it
will probably take several days to conclude
the work. A petition is being
circulated In Lancaster addressed to
Senator Tillman, asking him to come
here and make an address on the dispensary.
The paper is being freely
signed by citizens irres pective of their
views on the liquor question.

STERLINC"SUPERB"
When the word "Sterling" is stamped
on silverware this Is a guarantee that
the goods are the best that can be
made. It means the superlative degree
of quality. With "Sterling"
stamped on silverware, there is no
need for further talk about the quality?it
is there. What "Sterling" is to
silverware the word "SUPERB" is to
Clothing?a guarantee of quality, of
style, of fit, of superb workmanship, of
satisfaction in clothes. Of all the
ready-to-wear clothes, we have ever
sold or we might say ever seen, there
are none that can approach the "Superb"
brand In those indefinable little
things that go to make clothes fit the
man instead of making the man fit the
clothes.
We have our new Fall and Winter
stock of "Superb" Clothes in and would
be pleased to have the wearers of good
Clothes come and see what we can do
for them, in the way of Superb Styles,
Superb Qualities, Superb Fitting and
Correct Prices.

Watch Repairing
Watch repairing Is always delicate
work and to be satisfactory must
be done Just right?otherwise there is
no use to have it done, because the
watch will thereafter run either too
slow or too fast and everybody knows
how annoying an unreliable timepiece
is. I do lots of Watch Repairing
on One watches and cheap watches
and do just as careful work on the
cheap timepiece as on the most expensive.
I do such good work that
my Absolute Guarantee goes with every
Job to run?barring accidents, like

watch doesn't go Just right I can
make it right for you. My charge will
be according to the amount of work
I do, but will always be moderate.

you flrst-class work for your money.
