WHISKEY HOUSES FAIL TO COLECT MONEY FOR CLAIMS PAID TO DISPENSARY COMMISSION. County Board Turns Over Amount Due to State from the Various Liquor Firms. The State. Claims of whiskey houses against the Charleston county dispensary board, amounting to over $20,000, shave been held.up and paid to the dispensary commission to satisfy the overjudgments against these firms which were found by the commission in NoVember. The claims paid to the commission are as follows: Lanahan & Son, $15,629.26; Gallagher & Bur ton, $3,617.50; Garrett & Co., $487.36; Cook & Bernheim, $733. This announcement was made yes t6ay -by Attorney General Lyon who r4turned from Charleston to gether-with Avery Patton, a member -Zthe eonimission. The action was taken as a result of the act passed ith' Ta it session of the legislatfule providig for-the ftiier wi'ding-up ot the affairs of thi old State dispen eary. The cheek for the $20,000 .was turned over to Mr. Patton by the Charleston county dispensary board At a. recent meeting of the com mission, it was decided to hold up the amounts due by county dispen saries to liquor houses against which there were judgments on acount of overcharges. Lanahan & Sons had had a calim of' $6,000 against the State. This was wiped out and the commission found that Lanahan & Son actually owed the State of S6uth Carlina $29,000. on "over chargies" since 1902. Lanahan & Son had offered to pay the State 50 per cent. of the $24,000, and this action of the commission does not set aside the proposed com promise, and the matter is yet in the courts. Richland Funds Demanded. The Richland county dispensary board has been ordered by the com mission to pay the sum of $4,963.13 to the commission. This is due to The,Carolina Glass company by Rich land county. This action was taken yesterday and several other firnis are affected as is shown by- the fol lowng orders issued by the co;nmis saon: "Under and by virtue of an act of the legislature, approved February 23, 1910, conferring upon the State dispensary commission authority to collect all moneys due to persons, firms, or corporations dealing with county dispensaries of said State where findings have been made ~by this commission against such per sons, firms or corporations anid by virtue of a resolution this day adopt ed, I hereby demand that you pay over to me in accordance with the termns of said resolu4ion the sum of $4;963.13 which is due by you to the Carolina Glass company." A Similar Order. 'A similar order -was sent to the Richland boarl demanding' the sum .f $1,133.79 which the board owes Gallagher & Burton, of Philadelphia, represented by J. S. Farnum at one time; also $1,783.56 dne by Garrett & Co., and $5,271.30 due by William Lanahan & Son. The order is signed1 by Avery Patton, 'chairman pro tem; John MeSween and A. N. Wood. 'The commission directed the Doir elester county commission to pay over to John T. Barbee & Co. $409.42 as that concern had made final set-: tlement~ with the State dispensagy. The flowing order, was issued: "On the 17th'day of November, 1909, the State idispensary commis sion made a finding in the matter of the State against John T. Barbee & Co. According to the said finding, the said John T. Barbee & Co. is in debted to the State in the sum of $409.42. Heretofore W. B. West, dispensary auditor, -notified you to hold up all moneys due .by your dis pensary to the said John T. Barbee & Co. By virtue of act of the gen eral assembly of the State of South Carolina, approved February 23, 1910, conferring upon the commission authority ,t collect from the seviral county dispensaries and the officers therff, directing the county dis pensary beards to pay over to said comision such sums as they had retofore found to be due the ate, the commission at .regular called meeting unanimously adop da resolution, a certified copy of which is enclosed, directing me as chairman pro tern of the said corn mission, to collect said sums so due. I therefore direct that you turn over Sto me forthwith the'sum found to If 1as aforesaid, to wit, $409.42.'' .he following was received yes terdlay from the Charleston corres pondent of the State: "The chek fop-the 420,000 was drawn by the Charleston count board aud the money paid to At:tor -ney General Lyon, although there was a question in the minds of the local board as to whether this could be done, on account of the board having been enjoined not to pay out the money in question. Arthur Lynah would .not say to-day that the money had been paid and it was finally left for the chairman, Maj. Benjamin Rutledge, to admit that he had signed the heck as a member and the 'money must have been, paid.' "'There appears, however, not to have been a-ny contest betweeni the State and county boards as to the paynient of the Moifey. It was only a question as to how far the local board might proceed without a vio lation of the injunction, wfiich was placed upon it some months ago, not to pay the -claims of certain liquor houses against which the State board had judgments. There were six of these claims, it is understood, and of the number two were settled recently leaving only the four which were in dispute. The county board had the money for these claims se; aside in bank and now, under the ruling of the State board, which is probably acceptable to the court, the adjust ment of the whole matter has been satisfactorily mode.' The Law on the Subject. Following is an extract from the law, recently passed by the legisla ture, giving authority for getting hold of the money in this way: County Dispensary Money. "See. 6. In any and all cases where the State dispensary commis sion, has heretofore found any 'amount due the-State by any person, firm, or corporation on account of dealings with the State dispensary, the several coiinty' dispensary boards now existing, and- all boards and oth er officer or officers in charge of any money due any such person, firm or corporation on account of dealings with any and all county dispensaries heretofore existing, shall, upon de mand, pay to the State dispensary commission a sufficient amount, or so much thereof as may be on hand, to cover the amount so found to be due the State. "See. 7. The State dispensary commission is hereby empowered to .pass all orders and judgments and do any and all things necessary to carry out the purposes of this act; and all judgments rendered by them for any claim due the State shall be a lien on the property of the judg ment debtor situated within this State, and a transcript of said judg ment shall be filed in the oillece of the clerk of court of common pleas in eachi county where any property of sucih judgment debtor is situated. ''See. 8. In all cases where any conflict may arise between the pro visions of this act and any other act or acts of the general assembly acerning or regulating any of the matters covered ,by this act, the pro visions of this act shall control. a''Sec. 9. In all casey. pending be fore the said State dispensary com ission, upon any claim or. claims against any person or persons, or any corporation or ~corporations, owning any real estate in any county in this State, the said commission shall file ^in the offle of the clerk of court in each county where sueb~ real estate. is situated a notice of the pendency of such cases, and the said 'notice so filed shall be full no tie to all persons whomsoever laiming any title to or lien upon such real estate acquired subsequent to the filing thereof, and the debt found by said commission to be due the State shall have priority over the claims of all creditors, except credi tors secured by mortgage or judg ment entered and recorded prior to the filing of such notice, and the said real estate, in the hands of any per so'n or yersons whomsoever, shall be liable for the payment~ of snech debt so found to be ,due the State.'' The Lash of a F'iend woul& have been, about as welcome to A. Cooper, of Oswego, N. Y., as a merciless lung-racking cough that defied all remedies for years. ''It 'was most troublesome at night,'' he writes, ''nothing helped me till I used Dr. King's New Discovery w~hich cured sie completely. I never cough at night . now.'' Millions know its matchless merit for stub born colds, obstinate coughs, sore lungs, lagrippe, asthma, hemorrhage, roup, whooping cough, or hay fever. It relieves quickly and never fails to satisfy.
