Practically admitting 'that they - overcharged" the State, to the ex 'tent of thousand of dollars 'under * the regime of the old State dispen ~arv i'n South Carolina, the whiskey rmof William Lanahan & .Sons of B3ahimore yesterday paid to Attor ney General Lyon the sum of $14, 000 in settlemen't of "over-judg ments" which were found by the dis p'ensary commission 'at its sitting last -falL. By the payment of the $14,000, ~a elaim of $6,000 against the corn :mission by the firm and an over-judg mnent o~f $23,000 found by the coma !nission are wiped out and the appeal to the supreme court abandoneid. ~Coincident with the payment of the ~$14,000 the injunction secured agai??s the firm by the ,com.mission to pre vent the collection of sums owed by - the .several county dispansaries of the * tate was dissolved. Eidl Denied Overcharginlg. The admission that the State was *overcharged by 'the Lanaban com-t pany, proves interesting in view of the emphatic statements of the repre *sentatives of the compalny befor'e the commission at the hearing 'ast :spring to the effect that there had been no ,overeharges on goods sold im *ti', State. * Another ijnt'eresting fact in connec tion with the Lanahan matter is that it was claimed by the representatives of the firm that important books of * h company were destroyed in the great Baltimore fire. The attorneys contended that 'these books should be produced, saying that they would show that the State ha'd been, over charged. The Lanahan company was represented at the hearings beforc the commission by Clark & Clark of t'his city. One of the Farnums. The later action of Lanahan & Sons is very interesting in view of the many charges made during the sever al investigations and strenuously de nied. J. S. Farnum is allegeld, to have had this house on the list of concerns he -represented, and Farnum has pleaded guilty in one case, though the name of this particular firm was i not meotioned especially in the case. 9he following order was filed in the circuit court of Richland coumnty yesterday: "The plaintiff, the State of South Carolina, and the defendant, William Lanahan & Son, having come to a settlement of this suit upon terms mutually satisfactory where it is stipulated that the injunction issued by this court shall be dissolved and the ease discontinued it is now on motion of the attorney general or dered: Th:at theinjunctions heretofore issued by this court be, and the same are, hereby dissolved and the com plaint herein dismissed.
