BLEASE WARNS LIQUOR BOARDS. They Must Not Patronize Houses That Defrauded tSate, Says Governor Blease. Columbia, July 14.-"It is my posi tive intention to remove members of county boards of control who have bought goods from houses that de frauded the State under the State dis pensary system, unless these members can show some very sound excuse," said Governor Blease this afternoon, when asked about a letter he had dis patched to the chairmen of the six county dispensary boards, inquiring whether they were dealing with hous es shown up in an unfavorable light by dispensary Investigations. Governor Blease reenforced this let ter, of date July 10, by a further mes sage today, which was forwarded by telegraph, except in the case of the Richland board, to whom it was mail ed. This second message reads: "A Word to the Wise." "In my opinion, you should not pur chase goods from any house that ad mits it defrauded the State under the State dispensary, and I request that you do not. 'A word to the wise should be sufficient."' Governor Blease said today: "I have called on Dispensary Auditor M. H. Mobley to furnish me with the names of the members of the county boards' of control, a report of their purchases and a list of those houses that admit ted defrauding the State In connec tion with the Ibld State dispensary. The boards of Aiken, Richland and Charleston have not been heard from. Members of the Georgetown board called at my office Thursday, but I was engaged with the State board of education and could not see them. They left, saying they would report by mall. I have heard nothing from Beaufort or Florence. Members of the Richland board say they have complied with the law and conducted their business strictly and honestly. Frim Charleston Board. "The Charleston board says it has been guided rigidly by the law, as In terpreted by County Attorney J. N. Nathans, and have 'conscientiously and consistently done their duty, hav ing received no rebates. "If any further purchases are made by any county board from houses that admitted defrauding the State and paid back the money, I shall immned lately' remove the members of such board, unless sufficient excuse is giv en." The letter -which first Indicated the governor's attitude in the matter was as follows: "Gentlemnen: I am informed that al most all of your purchases are md from houses which have heretofore been proven guilty of robbing, or a~t least defrauding -South Carolina. I know that some of those from whom you purchase have admitted that they defrauded the State of South Carolina and made good for at least a part of what they had defrauded her out of. I uinderstand that you are purchasing from houses represented by Roy, Ear ly, Sigo Myers, Trager, M. H. Myers, Wylie and others. Threatens Removal. "If you make purchases from these houses, knowing the facts, I feel that it is my duty to remove you from office, unless you can give a satisfactory ex planation therefor. If these men de-j frauded the State -and confessed it, why will they not rob yours,county and confess it? If they rebated the State, board, as some of them swore they did, will they not rebate you, if you will aecept it? From complaints coming to me, there are people who believe. you- will accept' it. Why lay your selves open to these criticisms, when It could be so easily avoided? Why put my administration in the position of being criticised, as it is~ being crit Icised, by such actions On your part? "Please give me such information as you have along this line, and I hope that it will be satisfactory to the pub lic. If you think it will not be satis factory, your resignation will save your removal. Very respectfully, "Cole. L, Blease, "Governor." The Richland county dispensary board is composed of Messrs. John J. Cain, Jos D. Miot and W. H. Gaston. The Charleston board is composed of Messrs. B. H. Rutledge, Arthur Lynahi and John Marshall. Charleston' Board Replies. I A representative of the News andI Courier called on Chairman Benjamin! H. Rutledge, of the Charleston county dispensary bcard in order to find out1 from the chairman what action the board purposed to take. The chair man stated that the governor had been answered respectfully by the board, the board simply stating that it had conscientiously carried out the re-: quirements of the statute according to: its construction of it, and had always made its awards to the lowest bidders as required by the statute; that the board did not feel itself at liberty to give to the public either its letter o: its telegram in reply to the governor: telegram, as both the letter and tele gram were in the hands of the gover nor and his property.
