THE DISPENSARY SCANDALS. The Committee Divided into Sub Committees, One of which has been Working Hard, and the T ublic has Learned Something of its Work in a General Way. :News and Courier. Columbia. June 25.-The dispensary -investigating committee is apparently quietly plodding along. Some months - ago the general committee was sub divided into special committees. From what can be seen and heard the sub-committee, of which Messrs Fra ser Lyon and Neils Christensen. Jr.. are members, have been up and doing and this special sub-committee will - most likely have things to report. The other members of the committee are Messrs J. T. Hay, Cole L. Blease, Arthur L. Gaston, Thos. B. Frasier .and Col. D. A. Spivey They may be doing something, but the general -public has not heard near so much ::about their activity. They may be <gaged in other lines of inqui-y-the 'State board, the purchases, the hand ling of the liquor in bulk, the early 'history of the system or the like, -which would not bring about such publicity as dealing with the sub -dispensaries. To Find Fraud You Must Hunt It. Of course it is not now, nor has ii :ever been expected, that information -would be handed to any of the com - nittees on a silver pallet. but if the committees want information-if there is any to be derived-it has to " be dug for. This seems to be the plan of the sub-committee, consisting of Messrs Christensen and Lyon, - which is charged with the examina tion of the ups and downs of the sub dispensaries of the State. It is understood that t'his committee "has visited various parts of the State and that it has derived considerable interesting information. The commit tee, for instance, spent considerable -time in Charleston, Spartanburg and Beaufort. Rumors About Spartanburg. It is rumored that there were two sessions in Spartanburg and that there was some real lively testimony heard in that city. " The talk around Columbia is, but -it may be mere rumor. tfha it was found that c-le - -ne dispensary of . *icia]y ,j ated as special -agent to scollect a fund with which to fight .the anti-dispensary movement in that -.county. It is rumored here that the :sub-committee has the list of con ~-tributors to tehe fund, and that on the list are the names of dispensary offi * cis, liquor houses and others. But .the strangest part of the whole story, .if -the rumor be true, is how the amoney was expended. and on this phaae the sub-committee. it is also rallege. shas testimony. :MiEing Good Liquor Out Of Bad. 'Tien li is suggested that the sub .comeittee has testimony to show that . ne i be dispensaries, where, is an *ather -matter, has been persistent in refusinag to sell single X liquor.

Mysterious Little Book. It is also suggested that the sub committee is on the track of a little book. which will give some light on how much it costs to do a "tigering" business in Charleston in former days. This little book, it is said, will have a tendency to open up some previous history in that community. The sub committee is naturally averse to let ting anything get out in connection with its work, as the desire is to re serve all infbrmation for the General Assembly; therefore all that leaks now is more or less incomplete. Has There Been Big Stealing? What people are now looking for is what investigation is to be made as to the "big things" about .th.e busi ness, and not the transactions of the dollars and cents, butof thethousands, or to have the prevailing rumors set at rest by positive statements once and for all time, or to get down to business and see what is in these ru inors. This is what the State board, the system, the investigating com mittee and every one else ought to in sist upon, and no petty inquiry ought to satisfy. V. K. Sentence Sermons.
