RECEIYERSHIP ASKED FOR DISPENSARY FUNDS JUDGE PRITCHARD SIGNS OR DER CITING COMMISSION. Alleged That Members Placed Mon ey in Banks in Which They Were Interested. TI}l:he h,te. Asheville. N. C., Jan. 21.-In U:lit ed "at c iuit cllrt tLOday Judge J. (. Prii-arl siined an order cit ing tC dlis')penlsary commission of Sout hl Carolina to appear here on Wednesav, Jan. 29. and show cause why the relief uraved in a bill of complaint iled by Fleischnan:h & Co., of N .w York creditors of the dispensary. lould not be ' ranted and a receiver appointed to take charge of the funds held by the dis pensary commission, and the affairs of the commissi n wound up. -The bill of complaint filed by at torneys representing Fleisehmann & Co.. is interesting and in parts sen sational. The complaint in effec eharges that the dispensary commis siocn has failed to pay the claims of the creditors because the commis sioners are financially interested in the banks in which the great sum of almost $1.000,000 is deposited. The bill alleres that the, commission has violated its trusts and a receiver should be app,ointed to take charge of the monies and affairs now under control of the dispensary commission. The bill in part recites that said defendants are abusing the trusts reposed in them by wrongfully and unlawfully failing and refusing to carry out the terms and provisions of said act of 1907 of the general as sembly of the State of South Caro lina, and that the greater part of the nr wv Which tle defendants have re ceived. as aforesaid. has been on de posit fN,r m:my months. and is now on deposit in certain banks in the State of- South Carolina. in which bank- the said defendants or some of them. are respectively interested. either as oftiers, stockholders or di reetors: that a larae sum of said m:nev is now in the National Loan and Exchange. hank of Columbia, in which bank the defendant, M'urray, w'ho is the chairman of the dispen erand comiector,i a large stockhold er ad drecor;that another large portion of said mon.ey is deposited in the Bank of Timm'onsville, in which said bank. the defendant. Me Sween, is a stockholder and direetor, and is also its president: that an other large portion of .said money is on deposit in the People's bank of Uniion. in which bank the defendant, Arthur. is a stockholder and director and also its president; that another large portion of said money is on de posit in the Bank of Aiken, in whicb bank t.he- defendant, Henderson, is a stockhol'der and director; that anoth er portion of said money is deposited in the Piedmont Savings and Invest ment company of Greenville, in which the defendan.t, Patton, is a stock holder and d.irector, and a portion of said money is deposited in the Mer chiants' and Farmers' bank of C)her aw. in which ban-k one W. F. Stev enson, who resides in thre said town of OTheraw and who is the attorney for the 'defendants consisituting the State dispenisary commission, is a s tockholder and director and also its president. That the said defendants have wrongfully, unlawfully and fraudu lently declined and refused to make distribation of the said money among the creditors of the said State dis pensary or to pay the claim of your orator or any of the other of said creditors, for, the reason, as your orb tor verily believes and alleges the fact to be, that there has been form ed and now exists an unlawiful un derstanding or agreement bet-ween the defendants by which it has been decided that the money deposited in the banks above named shall bye held and allowed to remain as long as pos sible in said banks and be used by them for their own benefit and pro fit. Attorney General Lyon of~ South Carolina was present in the interest of the dispensary commission. That side -contends, in effect, that certain claims of creditors are not genuine; that undue influence was used in the purchase of goods and too great a price was paid. It is undersfood that there are claims aggregating about $600,000 against the dispensary comn mission and these creditors. alleging that the funds in the hands of the comissionl aggregate about .$800,000 demand that their claims be paid. I is pn;baibe that there will he an in teresfin.z hearing -here on .Tan. 2f when the dispensary commission wil appear to show cause why a receive should not be appoiinted.
