Orders to County Boards. Columbia State, 14th. Gov. Ansel yesterday notified th various county boards that any anon ey due the State dispensary commis sion for supplies purchased from tba body must be settled with check pa.y able to the State of South Carolm through the 'State dispensary commit." sion 'and to no one else. No seltk ment or any demand from any recenv er will be recognized by the govei nor or those in authority. This i quite important, as it follows his lei tor warning banks to pay no fund without, orders from the eomlmissioi This step is taken to prevent th receivers, IVI|es;4ns. iMJcCuHough, 'An thur and Henderson, from taking po? session of the amount due the coir mission by the boards. It was no known exactly what steps will be tak on by these gentlemen after thoi bonds have been approved by Judg Pritchard, but Gov. Ansel thought i best to be on the safe side and pre vent additional complications and a the same tinne assert the right o State control of these funds. ^ Tn January, according to tlvp Yc port of the commission, about $101 000 was due the commission for li > quoiw purchased by., county 11 bojird^ ' , Since that time, however,^sover^l o ' these debts have been wiped out. Fo instance, in December "Richland eodV ty owed about $52,000, while the deli now amounts to only about $$G,00( ^ This is probably the hcavist debt Vi any of the county dispensrfftes t the commissi.>n, as tho largesWshar of stock remaining in the old S(^t institution was bought by (lie Rich land board, lt - 'Should tho receivers, however, donilmd t'lsiis money o! tlio count v I ^ boards and bo refused. there will be some interesting contempt proceedings. Tiro boards, however, will be 3 defendel by Attorney General Lyon and Mr, AV. R fcllewenson .of 'the dispensary connnlission slioujd 'tliev - refuse and any checks issued to the receivers from the boards would not be recognized by any of the banks whose collateral is at stake. The law , i) makes (ho Sta(o liable for the amount J - of stock on hand only should suits be " :? brought fonion-payment of ddbt, but should these suits be brought by (he | r receivers the. claims of the whiskey houses selling these supplies would - have priority over any claims in the 1 hands of the receivers. The letter from Gov. Ansel was sent to tlio county boards of Aik> en. Barnwell, Beaufort, Charleston, Colleton, Florence, Georgetown, Kershaw and lUehland and is >as follows: . 1'My attention has boon called t<> * I'll1 fact lliai your county board owes 1 the Stale tor goods bought., of Ihc State dispensary commission. and I - write to call attention to (lie fact that the Stale requires Hie soKlomonl In bo made wilh (lie State dispensary o. cm mi si! on and no one else, with chock payable (<> (lie State of South ** 'C'arolino. and. if (his not ice is dis- r - regarded, vigorous action (o enforce * - (he rights of (he Stale, and compli- F .1 ance by (ho board will bo I iken (o / - (lie end thai obedience to (he lawful t authority of the State may be en fore- t . ed.
