. I. EVANS ON THE DISPENSARY READY FOR THE FIREWORKS SAYS CHAIRMAN OF BOARD. Reason for Not Talking-Says He Was Restrained by His Lawyers -As to Purchases and Help Employed. The Columbia correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle sends the follow ing 'to his paper: There is no escape from the -conclu sion that Chairman "Hub" Evans is Misjudged by those who are constru ing his present silence under -the ava lanche of charges and insinuations and influences !that have been brought against him by Senator Tillman, by the newspapers, by the dispensary in vestigating commizson and by the public generally as a manifestation of any yellow streak" in the bluff New berrian's make-up, do not know their man. His silence, and the silence of the other members of -the board, have been wondered at, but those who know Mr. Evans kn-ow that whatever other fault 'may be found with -him that he is game, that he comes from game stock, that his nerve has been tested in eight or ten deadly com bats, and that his loyalty to a friend bas never been questioned. I have been keeping quiet while all these dirty lies :have been flying through the air against me, but it has been because my attorneys have com manded me to do so-and I have some good lawyers. But my time is com ing, and you are going to hear from "Hub" in no mis-takable tone of voice. , The investigating commissions be-. I don't care 'how many investigations they 'have, -the more the7 merrier. They can't find any stain on 'Hub' Evans, because there is no stain there, and I -defy the world, the flesh and the devil to discover one there. When -my time comes I am going before that investigating commission and -tell everything I know, fully, freely and without reservation or equivocation. But they 'hav.e got to come a-t 'Hu.b' Si.wit~h the understanding tha-c "Hub" is fr.aman and a gentleman: I won't stand ~ or 'n dirty insinuations or inuen 4oes. Purchases of Whiskey. Mr. Evans was particularly bitter re garding the report which appeared in this correspondence 'a few days ago to he r effect .that friends 'of Commission er Tatum were giving 'the commis -sioner- credit for holding the board down in the muat.ter of purohases, that the commissioner accomplished this Through threats to make the corres ~ ondence be-tween 'himself 'and the Sboard on this subject public. "You say to .any man who tells you afairy tale of 'this kind, that 'Hub' Ev~ans says 'he lies in his teeth, lies an his heart, lies in 'his soul. As 'a mnatter of 'fact, the boar-d ha's made no purchases in eight months except on Sthe order of the 'commissioner, and A his was done on our initiative, an-d ~ was due not in the remotest way to any pressure from any source."~ Help at Headquarters. C'hairman Evans 'was reminded that rmors were "being persisten-cly circu lated from dispensary 'headquarters 'that the stock on hand was piling up, uiad 'that in spite of the fact that near 'Iyfralf thie state was now dry the force of hands had been increased to about go~ 5, whereas less than 1oo had been found to be. sufficient heretofore. He denied tha-t the stock was increasing v'and'-said that the force of hands~ had ~~-been slightly increased. He added that the stock-taking was now in pro jgress, and that exact figures as to this and as to profits and t;he like would be available and given out for hpublication the last 'of this month. "But the sales are increasing in ''site 'of the operation of 'the Brice Sact,' he added. "It has amazed me. We -shipped ou-t $38,000 worth of stuff one day las-t week, the 'biggest single ~ day sales in the history of the inst.i SAs was .pointe'd out in this corres Spondence, the feeling is that 'there 'will 'be no more sessions of 'the dis pensary investigating commission be fore the:convening of the legislature, a3though there has 'been no official an nounce'ment along -this line so far. 'But .the commis'sion has thoroughly .investigated the label miatLer and it s .expected its report -to the leg'isla ture 'will bring out some interesting i not sensational facts regarding tvhis Chairman -rans says lie wi offer for rcelection at the hands -I the :(m ingle'islaturc. and th-Ai he is "going to beat the hound out of anyching that sets up a fight against .him." But it is understood that neither of the other two members of Ehe board will try for reelection. As a matter of fact, one of the board favors abolition of the dispensary laNw with a local option substitute giving the counties the choice between prohibition and high license or dispensary under the pres ent constitutional restrictions. the position taken by the most influen tial element of the so-cailed prohi bitior party of the state.
