strictly mercantile s'andpoint. was in solvent when abo'ished. But most largely through the efforts of Mr. Fel der and his associates, the institution was enabled to pay its debts and turn about $400,000 into the State treas ury. In addition to this, it was large ly through the efforts of- Mr. Felder that evidence was obtained sufficient to show beyond a reasonable doubt the criminal acts of a number of per sons in connection with the former State dispensary. "If an association which has ac complished these things is offensive to you, then it woud appear that you are not in favor of accomplishing the object for which I have striven dur ing the past five years. "Mr. Felder's compensation was contingent upon the amount of money he saved and recovered for the State, and he undertook to bear, and did bear, all expenses incident to his ef forts in obtaining evidence while you, as I understand, have paid Mr. Hol man $500 and this, as I presume, without his having secureu ie ietuen of any graft money to the treasury. "I gather from your letter that Mr. i Holman is employed solely to give you counsel, and this service has been for some time past rendered without expense 'to the State; besides this, you have not atten-pted to state J any fact to me which would show the' necessity of employing an attorney, or why some one, or all of the three at torneys on your commission, are nct in a nostion to determirie such pies tions as may co:n, scre ou. "As to the case against Dr. Murray, I will say that if I had been called upon I would have advised you that you had no authority to examine in to the accounts, acts, or doings of your predecessors, and that,you have no authority to deprive them of the 'vouchers they took for paying out thel funds in their hands; and, turther, that you had no power to demand of Dr. Murray that he vurn over such vouchers to you, nor to adjudge him in contempt for refusing so to do. "My views upon these points have been sustained by the supreme court, in so far as the court has announced I-ts decision. I did not, therefore, feel justified in urging the court to sus tain your position in this case. How ever, I stand ready to assist you in sustaining any position you may take which is authorized by the law und.'er which your commission exists and which prescribes your duties and po w' -' ers. :but. I would not feel jatstified to inidertake the performance of an act not in accordance with law. "Replying to your statement as to my attiude in the Richland Distillery company case, I beg to say that it is my wish to recover for the State suchI ov ercharges as may have been made~ by this company on goods sold the dispensary, and, notwithstanding the fact that you are whony m.correct mn your unsupported assertion that it is. my duty to be in possession of all facts surrounding this case, or in con nection with the State dispensary, this duty being specifically imposed upon you by the act of 1910, page 876 Sec tion 1, which is as follows: 'The State, dispensary conmmission is 'hereby au thorized and empowered in addition to 'the powers heretofore conferred upon it, to pass upon, fix and determine any and all claims of the State against any and all persons, firms or corporations, heretofore doing business with t.he S-State dispensary, and to fully investi gate transactions by any and all per sons, firms or corporations with the State dispensary, and to make settle ment of all claims in favor of the State against any such persons, firms or corporations, and collect and rg ceipt for the same.' "Section 2 provides: For the pur pose of 'carrying out the provision of, this act, the State dispensary commis sion shall have all the powers and privileges conferred upon it by any b, and all previous acts and amendmen.ts thereto. Nevertheless, I am willing to do everything I can to recover such moneys as may be due the State atjd ~to this end I offer to undertake the task upon the condition that I be al ~lowed to emplpy any attorney or at torneys, person or persons to aid in - the work who will, in my judgment, best serve ,the interests of the State in ascertaining the facts and incn tinuing the litigation already cm menced. The terms upon which per sons or attorneys are to be employed to be subject to your approval. I be lieve if you will agree to some such arrangement as this that there is a good prospect to recover a considera ble sum of money for the State. "I am also inclined to think that many facts showing fraud in dispen sary affairs wvill come out in the course of suc~h litigation and investi gation, if yoiu permit mie to undertake i: as suggested. Notwithstandingz the you have fallen into, when you tthat it is my duty to be in on of the facts of this case. ling to enter upon the under taking personally and ifdividually, provided you co-operate with me in the manner above suggested, or in some other feasable manner to be sugested by you. As to your right to employ c.ounsel without my (onsent I make the following proposal: Let the facts of the case be submitted to the supreme courf in a proper man ner, and your commission and I, as attorney general, ask for a ruling thereon. This may, no doubt, be done without delay. If the court shall then hear the case and decide that no duty rests upon me in this respect I shall not further undertake to influence the matter, and will be pleased to be re lieved of further responsibility in ref erence to the matters you have in hand. Yours very truly, "J. Fraser Lyon, "Attorney General." NOTICE TO TAX DELINQUENTS. Hon. Jno. L. Epps, county treasurer, has placed in my hands executions for the collection of delinquent taxes for the year 1910. The law imposes upon me the duty to levy and collect this tax at once. This is to notify all persons who have not paid their taxes that they may save cost by coming to me and paying the same promptly. The number of executions this year is large, and I urge those who have not paid to at tend to it at once. M. M. Buford, Sheriff Newberry County. Sheriff's Office, May 25, 1911.
