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.

was very conservative .this year anc
thei-r purchases were made entirel:

T,here was also a statement as re
gards .the increase in the number o
laborers now at the wholesale dis
pensary. This is due to the new bot
