Babcock was elected chairman of the asvlum commission. at its meetig todyv and preliminary plans .were a4ak)d k>k,ig tcward the pur chase of land for the State Hospital Lr: Insane. The commission. according to its members, did not outline any policy at today's meeting, nor was any ae tion taken in regard to the ereetion of buildings. "We are just in the formation period," said Dr. George B. C.romer, of Newherry, who was elected secretary of the commission. ''Our discussion was informal." It will be noted that the following advertisement appears in the News and Courier: "Persons wko have land for sale anywhere in the State are requested send descriptions and statements of prices of same in tracts of 2,000 to 5,000 acres, to Dr. J.

Columbia, April 7.-The posi-tion 'taken by Lanahan & Sons in the' set tlemenit of.its claim against the State, and the over-judgmenit of the dis pensar'y commission against this firm has created mnch interest,' and there was considerable speeuiation as to whaether other firms would continue the litigation in conneetion 'with the dspensary situation. As annoneed from Baltimore this afternoon, the firm claims that it never over-charged the State of South Carolina, and that the reason it com promised was because it wished to be free from the litigation, and also to obtain amounts tied up in the county 'dispensaries. An interesting - phase of the settlement is that the local attorneys, Mes.srs. Clark & Clark, 'too]k no part in the compro Mr. W. A. Clark, senior member of the law firm stated today that he was averse to the compromise, but, of course, if the firm wished to set tie in this way he cculd not stop the proceeding. Howeve~r, he felt that .he compromise woul<1 give the wrong 'impression as to the firms attitude. Mr. Clark has in the vaults of the bank of which ^he is the president, see tu'e .books of tuie Lan,ahan com pany, whicih were used in the hear ing -bef ore the dispensary commns ion. These books were opened for inspection by the attorneys. Mr. Clark showed by referenece to -the books that large purehases of the Lanahan whiskey were charged more than*the State, and that South Caro lina was charged a price that was consistent with other ertrordinarty large purchasers. Mr. Clark reiter ated the statement that there had been no over-eharges, as claimed. Mr. Clark, both at the hearing and i.n conversation today, absolutely doubted the efficiency of the test made of "Hunter Rye'' by Col. Fel der. Mr. Clark -4 the analysis of the two chemists I,o show that the whiskey was what was claimed for /it. The recnt 'enactment of the gen eral assembly, in which the coumIy dispensary boarde were to turn over, and did so, funds owed to the whis- d key houses against whom judgments u had been found, is believed to have been the deciding element in the Lanahan compromise. The dispen coniussion meets Monday. Dr. Mur- G ray, chairman, stated tonight that there was no new developments in the situation. s 0.: MONEY, WHISKEY, BEER? 11 Anything to Get Votes Alleged Rule I in Dillon Election -One Case d Kuawn Columba 8 Dillon, April 9.-The news that :Pe conditions which existed in tic primary election here had reached the a:torney general has created ag sensatiou in Dillon. There are many,. speculations as to whether the attor- ti ney general will investigate and if he a does what the result will be. There a are some who beliere that an inves-1 tigration would lead to convictions while others think that it would be a ruitless effort. There are many who assert that they know of irregularities which could be proved beyond a doubt and tha-t tho evidence would not be ti hard .to obtain. This has reference to the fraudulent use of whiskey,' money, beer amd alcohoL This, the arguments produced indi cate, would apply to some of the of ficers elected and to some of the can- al I didates defeated. All the candidates who were in the field had many en thusiastic friends and when it came to n the last primary there can be little ai I question but that extreme measures t were used by both candidates and .P: f-inds. to el,,et their choice. To say that this kind of work met w with the approval of the people would hi I create a wrong impression. It is de- it plored by many citizens who believe e that an election so full of cokrupt practices will never again be tolerat- l ed in Dillon. iCharges have been made that with- is in 50 yards of the Dillon polling1 place there was 'liquor and a plenty of i.t. and that it was used by politi- st cal aspirants in getting votes. S It is charged again that money was plaed in the hands of certain indivi du.als with the .underst4anding that certain precincts were to be carried for certain parties. The election as a whole is looked upon' by many of Dillon's -best citizens as a shame and disgrace. It is alleged ,that one individual re ceived as much as $400 for his ser vices at one precinct. It is alleged that cetain politicians offered definite sums to individuals provided that they carried certain precincts. There is one member of the court house commission whose conduct iu the last primary election is niow be ing in.vestigated. The charge is that he accepted ibribes from certain as pirants for office for his vote and in fluence. The commission prefers at present withholding the name, not withstanding it is being generally talked. In the case above named there hasj been no final action as the case is in the hands of a -committee who will make a report at the next meeting of the commission.
