FURTHER REVELATIONS INTO THE DISPENSARY. (Continued from third page.) ent with Mr. Windham, agreed with him. I showed that letter from che state board to the county board and to 'Mr. Windham, and he said he did not tell the board exactly wlhat they said. and Mr. Stansell said so. He said if I wuld leave the letter ith him he . :uid see Mr. Millete anid prepare a r:y. did o andL two dav later go: :he letter rom Mr Stansell with I the statement that they 'had conclud ed :z ay nothing a- all. r. Mil!er tes:fied ab-t hearing of : e drinking 1n the preml tes, and relative to tc conversation with Mr. Gai"iard and wvhat 'Mr. Wkindham said he di not believe was when he asked what Mr. Windham thought. I said: Did he get mad?" He laughed and sa:d: ''No. of course 1he (lidn't get ma? I wouldn't have asked him. but I knew he would take it." He didn't say, though, that he had taken it. He said he would not have made him the offer, but he knew he would take it. Another party came up at that time and the conversation was changed. Before he told me anything about it ,he said: "I am not telling ve:- :his for publication." and I told him would not publish it. Mr. \\indham asked to be heard and said: I wish to say in reference to :he story Mr. Miller told in refer ence to Mr. Gailliard. that I don't be'ieve Mr. Gailliard said any such Mr. Lyon: It is not a question of what you believe. Mr. Windham. You re here to state any facts you ki.v in regard to this matter, but not your opinion. If you have any ac:s to contradict Mr. Miller it is -?roper that you should do it. Mr. \indham explained t:at Capt. * Gailliard apologized to him and knew he .iai done wrong. and went on to saN e a.lked away: LStop mra::. :r uud Almig~hty's sake. say ou :oryive me. for I am sorry. I done it without thinking.' Could Not Enforce The Law. Mr. W. M. Sanders was a member -i the county board for six years. He felt that he was defeated because 'e insisted on enforcing the law. He thought that the desire was to get men on the board who did not care about enforcing the law. He brought Mr. Miller's charges up and called Mr. Windham's attention tc. the re quest book feature. There seemed to be no attention paid to the matter. He made t1he motion twice. The sec ond time he made the motion to have the request books used he received no second to his motion. and Mr. Mel lett said (hat provision was tot car r>d out eiscwhere and he would not rat for it. He insisted on weekly se: ements. as required by law. but Hi was done about i:. The board m-:- monthy :v o make set lements. The :munty board met regularly to c.rec:: ttp books and accounts. The .connry~ hoard instructed the clerk to -write' the state board about the en ~foicement of the law. but nothing appears to have been done. He asked Mr. Sanders if his broth er was not offered a bribe to vote for a certain party. Mr. Sanders was riot a member of the board and it was thm-'g<t that any' offer of Mr. Reardon to his brother, if made, would be in c mnetent. Mr. Lyon changed the ouestion, and Mr. Sanders was then as~ked: if his brother -!id no t com~ne to 6,:,, and te&i him there was a plan on ft:o elect MIr. Rafiid di;spenser. tn : is were (lone that Mr. Sanders zould have a clerkship, and did riot Mr. W. M. Sanders tell .his brother he would never do this, and would re sign if Mr. Raffield were elected over hi:s protest. The committee decided :his was incompetent and the question was withdrawn by Mr. Lyon with proper grace. Talking about the bottle war 'he tween Sumter and Mayesville, Mr. Sanders said bottles were hauled there by the wagon load. Wtnen Mr. Wind ham and myself were appointed mem be:t of the board we appointed a bottde buyer for this piace and for sre o' or other he wa= boyc o::e(i They didn': want him to ze: the ho: - dles and Mr. WVarren was h1aving them shipped. The niggere got to b'tyinz the bottles. and Wr~.rren~ was taking boxes from our dispensary and ship pin the bottle We ordererd Mr. Raffmeld, dispenser. not to give O-t any boxes. that they were county pr perty ai then he would buy ther here and have them snipped to Mayes ville inl wag)n. Senator Manning's Reply. Sta:e Senator Manning who came in during Mir. Sander's evidence. rose and asked to make a statement. Mr. Fraser: Before Mr. Manning begins his statement, as I am one ol t-his delegation. I will step aside. Ar. Manning: I am the state sen ator from Sumter couny, and. of c.urse. the elec-inn of members 'i the board of control vests in the dele gation. and as Mr Sanders has madc this statement about the cause of hi dcfeat. I feel it incumbent upon me as one Of the delegation :o say that I do not know what is the source tronm which Mr. Sanders gets his informa t,"n for the reason that the practice among our delegation as long as I have been in the legislature in the mat:er of these elections, has been that they are entirely secret Our rea son was that we desired to be en tirelv untrammelled and our position has been that we desired always to make the very best appointments within our power. We thought it best. therefore, not to give out the reasons to the public, and so I con tradict emphatically the statement made that that was the cause of Mr. Sanders' defeat. These elections by the delegation are by ballot and speaking for myself. I have always felt a responsibility in these elections in which my duty was to the county I represented rather than to any in dividual. I have felt that the best in terests of the county required that We should not consider only those who applied for positions, but in some cases we have gone outside and re quested others to take the places. As for the reason of Mr. Sander' de feat. I will simply make the denial that I was influenced in any way x'iatso)ever by the reason stated by :m. I knew nothing of his vote on :he board. but t.here were other things that I understood that made me feel warranted in casting my vote as I did. I don't think it is necessary to go into those matters as they have nothing to do with the investigation. I wish to say most emphatically that r Sanders' position on the board as to request blanks, etc, did not actuate me in casting my vote as I did. Other Members of Delegation. Col. Altamont Moses, of the house elegation, was sworn and stated: heard w,h-at Mr. Manning has said. y position is exactly the same as his, and was in this election of the out.y board. Mr. Joshn Clifton, of the house, was worn and said: As Mr. Manning has xplained, we adopted a rule of ex ediency in those delegation elections, o vote by secret ballot and not to di vge the votes of the various mem )ers, and in this particular election n which Mr. Sanders and several others were applicants, the question ,fwhether or not Mr. Sanders or any her gentleman was in favor of the : forcement or non-enforcement of ec dispensary law was no: brought p in the meeting, and did not in lience my vote or that of any other gentleman. Mr. Sanders. in my opin In. does not knowv up to this time. whether he ever got a vote. I would not care for the statement to go out that .he was defeated for his com mendable effe.:. to enforce the law. Mlr. T. 11. Fraser. a member of the house and of the committee, said: I want to say. Mlr. Chairman, that I m a great believer in the enforce met of the l? w and have never voted aainst any m~an because he wanted the law enforced. Even when an 0! :cer nhas. hurt me by enforcing the law I would not treasure .-aais him. arnd certainly I did not vote against Mr Sanders in this meeting because of his desre to enforce the Mr. Lyon stated that Mr. Fraser had called his attention to Mr. San lers as a witness and he understood that he intended to rap the delega tion. Mr. Fraser made it evident that the delegation had nothing what ever to hide. Mr. John E. Raffield, h at one time was a dispenser here l n' hos beh.ial: the o",fr is said , *av b"n made to M\r.
