E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New Aberry, S. C., as 2nd Class matter. Tuesday, June 12, 1906. The Herald and News does not know anything about the facts in the testimony of Mr. C. C. Davis before the investigating committee aid it is not Our purpose to discuss it, but it does seeml) Ito be but justice to tIe Newberrv delegatilol to say that the inference that may he drawnl fromi Mr. Davis' testimony that they were bought is scarcely borne out by the facts. Mr. Evans being fron their own coulity it is but. natural that they should vote for him and that lie should expect their vote. There would therefor-e he no reasonl for him to bily tlmTll evel if he were in] the business (of hiuying votes an(d they were purclasable, neither of whieh we believe. ie would hard lY undertake to purchase that of which Ie was already assured. We thinlk it ilt proper to eall at-i tention to this phase if it both in justic,e to the Newherry delegation and to Mr. Evans. Thai the mei hers of the Newherry delegation were boiu-iI does not seem reason able. The Iletald and News askinowl edges tle ctlesy, . of the State for the use t tle euts oil the first page.

''I woriked under Mr. Ashibridge for three year's.' lie said, ''aind found hirn a good master, a cotnsiderate, kind and1( just master. ''But one thing he always insisted on. That was implicit obedience to orders. If he told you to do a thing, that, and nothing else, was what you were to (10. He didn 't like a sub oirdinate to try, to improve on his or ders. ''I once tried to impr'ove on an or d1er of Mr. Ashbridge 's. An errand I had been sent on I did better, as I thought, than I had been told to do it. But wh'len I came back the mayor :4miled and told me a story. ''He said thant there was a young man in love wvith a rich and beautiful girl. The girl informed him one af ternoon flhat the next day would be he birthday. He said he was glad to 1 ear' it. He said lie would send her the next morning a bouquet of roses, one rose for each year. ''So that night he wrote a note to his florist, ordering the immediate de livery of twenty roses. -to the young lady. But the florist, reading this or der, thought he would please the young man by improving on it, and so he said to his clerk:" '' 'Here 's an order from young Smith for twenty roses.

I" CUTI LA. 4WAL "..'ENOUN ...S DETECTIVE SAYS HE TOOK'ADVANTA 'Or SOOIAL VISIT. Swears to Remark of Dr. Earle;ade While On Social Visit to His House-Dr. 1arle and Mr. Deal Objects. The senational incident in the dis 11en1sary investigation, says the Re revolt of tle committee's own of ficial stenographer at the unigentle manly conduct of Representative Ly on and his detective, Mr. Klingen berg, in dragging before the commit tee a private conversation that there that there was nothing in, made at a whist party in the presence of a.par ty of guests at Dr. Earle's home. The stenographer. Capt. A. M. Deal, well known throughout the state, and who has been prominent inl social affairs here for several years, denlounced tle detective, whom Ie had introduced at Dr. Earle's home. as "a dirty. sneaking, spy" for " going to a gentleman's home in the capacity of a gentleman an( acting as a detective.'' and lie would apolo.ize for taking him into the presence of ladies and gentlemen.' And in the succeeding breath, shak ing his finger at Representative Ly on, who was a guest at Dr. Earle's and at Mr. G. R. Remberts', told him that brining out such matters in the circumstances did not square with his ideas of what constituted a gentleman, if it did with Mr. Lyon's. Mr. Lyon several times attempt ed to suppress Mr. Deal. hut failed. and even the committee quieted him only after repeated efforts. Mr. Lyon defended himself by ask inI Mr. Deal if lie did not know Mr. Klingenberger's business when lie escorted him to Dr. Earle's home. "Yes. I did; but I took him there as a gentleman, and not as t spy,' was the hot reply. Mr. Kliiienber- is a Western man of apparently limited opportunities in such matters. and his conduet iz not so great a surprise as that of Mr. Lyon, who was bred a gentleman. The tilt started on the -heels of ,the testimony of ex-Mayor Earle, who was indignant at tihe turn affaits took, though lie did not hesitate -to answer questions. "Doctor, do you ever recall that yoi ever made a statement that one of these dispensers told you tfhat there was a good deal of moiey in the biusinless-that there was $6.000 oil the side. hut that he had to rive ip $2.0(0 of it to tle state hoard f ct ontril. and Some other pa1t of it to t le oun1t1y board of coli rol ? I d l not remember any such thin mg as thait." '' Il 'in 't you kiinow t hat yo'u made that stat'ieent 7' 'I do not. I emphalilticamlly deny it. ''oui are sure ot that ?' ' " Youn have hea;rdl what i said."' "lon' t youm remiemiber mnakinLr that staltemenit't. and goinig furthier and1( say ing who thme party was. that that "'as aiiothier piarty?'' "No, I do niot.' "So iiow. doctor yon say that you know absolutely nothing about it 7'' "Absolutecly not hing. I might have spioniken at times about vague rumors, or' somethiung like that. but peirsonally I know absolutely no'th in g.' 'Well, doctor, you know we are looking for graft 7" "'I know that, and if there was ally way I could assist yoti I would be glad to do it. I believe that every grafter ought to be ptunished, aiid I have said so generally. I know noth ing but vague rumors, aiid I do not know the parties who nmade them, and I would not feel like repeating them.'' "Who did y'ou make that state ment to, to Mr. D)eal and Mr. Klin genberg?'' ''No, siir. T did not. I was talking about the invest igatingeommit tee and miadle some1 staitemenit about vague rum mors that I eaniiot recall.'' ''Then you say that you have not made a statement iln the presence of these twvo gentlemeii that would indicate that a dispenser got graft, and that lie had had to give some of it. up to thiosit woboairds, or toeither of those board, or. to some person for those bors ''Do you want me to repeat that again9" "Yes, sir.', "All right, once more I say no.'' ''And you deiiy utterly aiid ahosl tutely that you made any such state ment that any dispensai'y officem' or enmploye made aniy statement to you thant any grafting of any natutre' or kiind was (done?''
