TBLBERT MAKES DENIAL r ''T.-t ; Republican Chairman Says Dial's Accusations are False. INSISTS THAT HE HAS ACCEPTED NO PAY ^ * * ' i Willing to Defend Himself in tho Courts^pr Otherwise?Claims That Charges Originated With Disgruntled Offioo Seekers Who Failed to Get What TJhey Were After. % GrcenMfciod.TIndex Journal. Emphatic denial that ho was selling j Republican patronage and denial, of otber charges .brought, by Senator Dial ' was made here last night by Joseph ; " - mr " , , . . W. .Tnlbert, Republican national com- j mlttocman for this state. Mr. Toiber^t declared he was ready to defend himself in the'courts against those whq had accused, him. Chairman Tolbert made a sweeping and comprehensive denial-of the charges, taking them up. one by one and in some cases submitting documents to substantiate his statements. He 3a.id in part. "If Senator Dial has been as incorrectly informed in all of the things he holds against me as he has in the charges he makes, he is certainly tuore reckless in public statements tha,n a lawyer and a United States senator should be. "Take up his charges one by one: He charges that I have ignored the' r-iv.il service rules. The records show the ton t Airy. I have , recommended about 300 postmasters hi South Carolina. They Save all been from civil service rccon(mendatiojjfe. .'f'here arc today 46 women postmasters in this , state, .or 11 more apiaiinted by Presi-1, dent Harding than by President j; \yilson. I deny that I have endeavor- I j ed to tUt n put women postmasters, j When thfe civil service office submits , ] a list of three eligiblcs I am allowed ! j tp select one y? the three. This is the ' rule all ov^f the United States. In many cases I have asked Republican cpunfy chairmen for recommendations. | In. only oneicase can it be said that a woman was not retained in a post office, in Soytb. Carolina. It was hot my j wish that she not be kept in office, but the county cheirman and another white Republican uiged that the recommen- 1 " dation go to a white man, who was also on tnc ligiuie iisi. n was uune, though pers< nally it was a matter of regret that the woman could not be retained, j either in this case nor in ] {iny other was there any money con- j ] siderattor or hint of one. j . Made By Two Republicans. "The first churge of money was I | made by' two Republicans of Orange- ( burg, who undertook to move heaven and earth to keep B. F. Mixson from being made postmaster. One of them wanted the postmastership for himself. ^An affidavit was sent to St nator Dial that Mixson liad offered t.o secure | confirmation for the woman post- 1 master at Bowman if she would pay ' him $300. I got an affidavit from her that she did not know Mixson and had never "been solicited by him to pay any money for any purpose. Further than that, I have a letter from her, receiv- | ed only a few 'days ago, expressing her sincere appreciation for getting the nfflw Sho i? n flpmncrnt anil she i made no promise to vote the Republican ticket. Why does not Senator Dial give some credit for this? These two Republicans, who are sore against me. Tblbert, because I refuse to recognize i them, then made a turn. They sent Senator Dial an affidavit that a man namecT D. P. Kerry made the offer to this lady. .-'I got an affidavit from Berry, denying that he had ever acted as agent for Mixson and sent this to Senator Dial. Still he helped these two Republicans and they thought they | were making trouble for me. The whole truth was that one of them wanted the place himself, as he had been qimost raised in the postoffice. 1 took pleasure in recommending for the j place a young Democrat, Dan Dukes,! who now has the place.

I'have the record to show it, "When Senator Dial says that he is informed that under previous administrations the referee in this state sold J patronage, I suppose he means Re- | publican administrations apd if he j does, the Republican administrations were represented in South Carolina by j other Republicans than myself. The ! last referees in this state were the late John G. Capers and A. D. Webster. These Republicans will have to answer Senator Dial's charges. I had no say whatsoever in the matter of patronage when these two men were In charge of this state. I have had the power to make recommendations only since the lf)th day of last March and I deny any charges that I have accepted any money or any promise from any ap pjlcant ior oincc. n ui y vuumj man has been guilty of taking even one dollar for his recommendation to me, it has been without my knowledge or consent and I would not countenance any such thing if I knew it. No Such Thing Happened. "I deny any instance of where any man paid $1,200 to get an office and then had to use threats to get his money back when lie failed to get the office. No such thing ever happened in the state in any office 1 had anything to do with. "I am not a party to any office buying and it is very unfair to me fo: Senator Dial to- rush into the papers with such charges with no facts to base his charges on. "As to George D. Shore of Sumter, there is no such organization as the v Tjr- i.. Sumter ucpunncan ciuu. nt m i... club and he is sore because I would not recommend him to be postmaster Sumter. I recommended a Democrat first and Shore tried to fro over my head and get it anyhow, because lie had influential relatives In Washington. . . "He tried to have* his sc.i, George D. Shore; named as district attorney tor the Eastern district and I named Maj. J. D. E. Meyer, a veteran of the World war. That is why Mr. Shore is trying to discredit me. He is the Republican club of Sumter. I have letters today telling me what Mr. Shore is up to all by himself. "I do not need the office of United States marshal for the Western district of South Carolina. President Harding gave me the appointment without my asking for it. I feel that 1 owe it to him as well as myself that I defend myself against such charges * ? tv? !

"Their faction is the one which put out a mixed electoral ticket in the last election. The Tolbert ticket was composed of white men exclusively. The Drmoqr^i)c\j>:y)?vs ,of. Carolina jiersistcntly overlook this fact. All 1 want is to be fair. I can take care of myself in court or otherwise. SOFT DRINKS POPULAR. Britishers Developing a Taste for the Kickless Kind. > Is prohibition really sweeping across the Atlantic to Great Britain? Reports to the department of commerce indicate that American soft drinks are becoming popular in the British Isles. Until recently soda fountains, according to commerce department reports, were practically unknown in Uondon. Now they can be found in all the principal cities. One agent claims to have sold 150 fount:.ins in tho last year. The majority of the fountains go to chocolate shops, department stores ar.d cafes, the drug stores not yet having entered into the business. ?

Tlie contract premium was $74.10 annually, or $1,112.40 for 15 years. The dividends amounted to $235.64, making the NET annual cost for $2,000 insurance $58.45. If the assured should decide at the end cf the 15th year that he wants to discontinue the insurance he can get $654.54 in CASH for his policy, which would be $222.42 less than he had paid out and would figure his PROTECTION to have cost him $7.41 per $1,000 per year.
