Once, and porti;ularly by the recent

per ionih were chiefly to build up a
trade for the goods of Fleischmann
an( supeiintend the posting of ad
vertising matter for this firm.

insurance business?
A-Since about 1900, that is, for
myself; I have been in the insurance
business about nine years.
Q-Did you ever represent a liquor
house in the city. of Columbia?
A-No, sir;'I did not represent a
liquor house.
Q-Well, sir, were you connected
with the'liquor business in any way?

about eight feet. And I tried to
create a demand for his liquor and
b)rands.
Q-In what way ?
A-I had some friends wvho were
dispenser's. I asked them if they
would not order it out andl give it a
trial. It was already in the dispen
sary then.

board about buymng the goods?
A-To no member of the board.

their meetings9
A-No, sir; was never present at
any meetings..
Q-You were'never present wvhen
purchases were discussed ?
A-No, sir.
Q-Who did the actual' work of
posting these bills around towvn?
A-Mr. Ashur Browne did it, and
(lid it through some bill posters' as
sociation. -I was employed to see
that it was prop)erly posted and that
the posters wvere kept on the board
as per contract.
Q-Howv long did you serve this
concern?
A-Six months I think.
Q-How long didl it take to put up
those posters?
A-I think the contrat-I have
never seen-. They were to be kept
on the board. continiaally for six, nine
or twvelve months, I am not sure
which; that is only hearsay. Mr.
Early told me, that was one way ol
kdeping the town billede As fast as
one 'wuld wear off aniother would
be put on.
Q-Was not F'leischmann & Co.,
represented by Mr. Early at that
tim'e?
A--I understand that he had con
sdbrable of the Southern territory.
Q-He~ came here to 'see about theiu
lbusiness?

here,for.
yeou know Mr. Early person
~lly
A--Yes, sir; I know bim person
ally.
Q--Do you know if Mr. C. O.
Smith, of Spartanburg, represented

ment; he was to pay me that.

that it was your special business to
furnish?
A-Congress Hall - and Florer's
Rye. .
Q-Those are the brands that are
in the dispensary, and were in the dis
pensary at that time?
A-Were in the dispensary when

marriage, or were you, with any
member. of the board at 'that time?
A-Yes, sir; I am brother-in-law
of Mr. Boykin.
Q-Mr. Cantey, how did you hap
pen to make this arrangement with
Fleischmann & Co., or with Mr. Ear
ly?
A-He sent for me. I went up to
the hotel. He asked me if I could
represent him in that ecpacity. I
told him I could represent him as
advertising agent, but I could not
represent him if I had to sell the
goods. I thought my connection with
one of the members of the board
would not make.it look exactly right,
and I did not care to sell whiskey in
any shape to anybody.
Q-Have you any idea how Mr.
Early learned who you were and your
relation to this member of the board?
A-No, sii, 1 do not.
Q-Was he aware% of that fact
'when lie called on you?
A-1 suppose lie was, but he did
not mention it or say anything about
it.
. Mr. Charles Cohen, beer dispen
ser at Beaufort, since July 1900, was
sworn. Whein lie first went in lie
bought his beer through the board,
and it Was shipped to him from Sav
annah. This was bulk beer. The
board made a distinction between
draught and exp)ort b)eer. Afte'r
March, 1902, they allowed hiimi to
hanudle export beer. Afteor August,
1903, he had to order direct from
Columbia. There was this difference
in prices. HeI paid $10 50 for No. 3
Budweiser in Savannah, but when it
caine through the 'state dispensary lhe
p)aidl $12 02. For No. 2 beer lie paid
$6 50 in Savannah and aft.erwmard $7
to the State dispensary.
I~Mr. Lyon put in evidence invoices
proving this.
Mr. Lyon put in evidence a letter
from this firm, dated May, 26, 1904,
to. G. H. Charles, clerk of the state
board, quoting the board beer at, $1
.50.
Mr. Lyon also put in evidence a
resolution of the State board permit
ting beer dispetisers at Beaufort and
Darlington to handle 'export beer.
Afterwvards the board had decided to
let him order from Savannah. He
had been buying from Guckenhieimer
& Sons, of Savannah..
Mr. Lyon put in evidence a letter
from the State board refusing Mr.
Cohen's request. (Mr. Lyon then
b)rought- it out that the Germania
Brewving Company had been perit
ted to sell beer dliret to dispenseSrs,
while other breweries had to ship via
Columbia.) Witness dloes not know
who is thc agent (of the Anheiuser
Busch people in this State. Thinks
it is somebody in Charleston. Didn't
know to whom lie would write of lie
wanted 'to comnmunicaite with agent
there.
Mr. Lyon put in evidence other in
voices, showing that since April of
this year the dispensaries permitting
hirn to buy from Guekenhieimer again
and lie is getting it at $2.12 a cask
less. The State makes the profit as
it did before and the company the
same. He makes mnore himself and
can afford to give the beer to the
conisumners at a cheaper price, Hie
had been requiredl to pay this ad
ditional .$2.12 per cask two and a half
Iyears.
The commit tee adjouirned after a
brief executive session to meet to-,
