! " GRAFT OR WHAT? Kentucky Lawyer Objects to Call- ' ing Commissions Graft STATE DISPENSARY Denounced by Him, But He Confesses That Bin House Paid Com nils slons to Secure Business From It, uttd to That Extent Helped to Make it a Corrupt and Disgusting Ilist 1t ut ion. Attorney General Lyon has been -n certain information as to wh ?m the commissions were paid," sa< i Col. Anthony J. Carroll of Louisville Tuesday afternoon at the conclusion of tiis statement to the dispensary commission. The State says he has showed the transactions wheh appeared on the books and stated to the commission that the other information had been asked for by the attorney general and had been given to him in conference with Col. Felder. "The attorney general has charge of the 'graft' part of the matter and we are probing Into the manner of the transactions," remarked Capt. C K. Henderson pleasantly. This evoked a spirited rejoinder fr< n Col. Carroll, the handsome son of 'he Blue Grass State who has been speaker of tho house of representatives over there and also managing edi'or of Col. Henry Watterson's paper, the Louisville Courier-Journal. "Not 'graft,' if you please, sir. The Paul Jones company which I represent will leavo South Carolina with a loss on every sale made here even if you should decide to pay my claim with all sorts of reductions. We will quit net loser, even then, and your proposition is that you refund the commissions that we had to pay to get this business. "I repel with as Rood grace as possible the imputation that 'graft' Is a fit term to he applied to our side of the transactions with the State dispensary. We have made nothing out of the business, and the 'graft' was on the part of the people in South Carolina with whom we had to deal. We paid 'commissions,' but no graft.' This 'graft' in the dispensary was the inevitable result of n system which I asure you we did not wish to create, nor did wo seek to foster or to build it up." The commission then went into executive session. It was not made public what wbb the nature of the information which Col. Carroll had given to Attorney General Lyon, but it must have been something worth while, for Mr. Lyon came into the meeting as Col. Carroll was concluding and made a statement to the commission in executive session. This informaton was in part in Col. Felder's possession when Col. Carroll appeared before the commission recently, but Col. Felder could not communicate even to the commission what he knew at that time and Col. Carroll had to return to Louisville and get released from certain obligations so that the commission could be put in possession of Information which could not go upon the record as it will be used in the prosecutions. When Col. Carroll was here some time ago, Mr. Avery Pation objected to paying the claim of Paul Jones & Co., on the ground that the statements filed by Col. Carroll gave a 1 transcript of their books no further back than 1903. "We paid no commissions for South Carolina business before the year 1903," said Col. Carroll in a most matter of fact manner, and the commission smiled for the implication was strong that after 1903 it had cost the Paul Jones concern a little something to get orders from South Carolina. When in the course of human / events it is found that the commission is to pay tho Paul Jones claim, the Louisville people will probably bid a glad good-bye to this State. As a matter of bookkeeping, it was put on record yesterday that there were 400 cases on the books at the dispensary which had been left, off the books of the liquor house entirely. This was found by Col. Carroll, Mr. Malvern Hill and Mr. J. G. L. Thrope. When in checking up the Uv/xlnna Ixl lit, /x# 1 ~ ~ A ? A iiiiuivvn iiiiii Minn wi inuiii^ i u uim a discrepancy which was evidenced in the totals, they observed that there was a shipment of 300 cases on the 17th of April, 1904, and a shipment of 200 cases on the 11th of September, same year, which had not been recorded on the hooks at Louisville as a part of the dispensary business. Mr. Carroll made a brief supplemental statement on Paul Jones & Co. His figures and those of the i State dispensary books tally to a l cent. There had been an apparent discrepancy of 200 cases in Septem- i ber, 1904, but he explained this to 1 tne entire satisfaction of the commis- > slon. The two items had been put on | the cash hooks in Louisville, but not i carried over on the regular disper.- i sary account as they had been remit- 1 ted for promptly. < ^With the addition of these 400 i eases , the net shipment of Paul i Jones to the South Carolina dispen- ^ sary was 2,737 cases. The gross sales from 1902 to the close of the dispensary were 3,050 cases, but the dispensary at its close of business re- i turned 315 cases. The amount of c the claim is $21,149, but Col. Car- I roll is willing to take off $5,000 for s the "overcharges." e Mr. Carroll stated that prior to 1903 there were no "overcharges," hut that he had gono to the attorney general and had made a complete o showing of the "overcharges" made g in order to pay commissions for the 1 South Carolina business. y THEY LYNCHED HIM 1 Mob Overpowers Militia and Do- H putles and Hangs Negro. Ffe Was a Fiend Who Itielily Deserved What He Got and More Too If Possible. Ell TVfclHf f hn tlAOTSA ? .uv u^6iu " I1U IM UUUIIV (l and criminally assaulted Miss Williams, a young white woman, near Brookhaven, Miss., several weeks ago, was taken from the custody of the Jackson military company and a posse of deputies and hanged to a telephone pole withn a hundred yards of the Court Hoiije. He was to havs been tried for his crime. The mili- t tary and the police were overpowered r by a mob of more than one thous- * and citizens. Several shots were c fired during the melee and two mem- 1 bers of the mob were wounded. s Pigot reached Brookhaven from % Jackson Monday morning in custody ? of Sheriff Frank Greer, and under the armed escort of the Capital Light ( Guards, ordered into service by the r Governor to protect the negro during 5 the trial. When the soldiers and the i negro alighted from the train the 1 mob surged around them and a fierce fight ensued, in which fists were free- 1 ly used. The soldiers clubbed the members < of the mob with their guns. After ? the fight had lasted five minutes the 5 militia started with the prisoner to ' the Court House. The mob, rein- 1 forced and reorganized, made anoth- < er attack, secured the negro, dragged him to a telephone pole and hanged : him. The mob began to assemble before ! daylight in wagons, on horseback and I walking. It Included some of the 1 most prominent men In Lincoln 1 County, especially from the neigh 1 i/ui uuuu ui rv.mii, wncre mo assault occurred. By (he time the train from Jackson had arrived there wore 1 over two thousand men in the mob at the railroad station. No attempt at concealment was made, not a man in the mob wearing a mask. < The first attempt to take the negro from the militia proved futile, ' the soldiers beating the members of t the mob back with tho butts of their i rifles and taking up the march to t the Court House. Before the Court < House was reached, however, the i growing mob entirely surrounded the i soldiers and swept down upon them 1 The command was given to fire uy j the captain of the company and two men dropped, but the soldiers were i swept from their feet and the negro < was dragged away from them. Judge Wilkinson, who was to have presiil- l ed at the negro's trial witnessed the i lynching, but was powerless to pre vent it. The two men shot down in the ! fight were Joseph Cole, of Brookhav- i en and an unidentified farmer. Neith- < er is seriously wounded. r I i IMiACKl) ON TIUAIj. Morgan K. Boylcston Faring a Petit Jury at Aikeu. The trial of Morgan E. Boyleston J for the murder of Chief of Police W. j H. Davis of Salley, was commenced at Aiken last Tuesday. The defend- ' ant was arraigned the first thing af- 1 ter court met Tuesday morning, and . after several hours hard work by the < imurneys a run jury was secured. < The defendant Is represented by Croft | & Croft assisted by the Hendersons, t of Aiken, and J. F. Fanning, of Springfield. The prosecution is being i conducted by the solicitor, assisted . by J. H. Salley, of Aiken, and Attor- : ney Townsend of Union. < The first witnesses to be examined was Dr. Johnson, of Salley. He was < the first to reach the dead man on \ the night of the shooting. He heard < the deceased state that lie was shot ^ by Morgan R. Boyleston. Dr. Salley, also of Salley, testified that lie reach ed the dceased a few minutes after t the shooting, and he also hoard Day- t is state that he had been shot by Uoyleston. r A plat of the surroundings of the f assassination, prepared by Surveyor c Norris, of Aiken, was introduced. 4 This plat showed the course of tracks ^ claimed to he those of the assassin, t. which led around a long detour on the North of Salley, and led to a clay f road to within 600 feet of Hoyles- j ton's house. The tracks are said to j have been traced no further, as the j, pursuers were satisfied that they ? had been made by the accused.' It Is probable that the trial will consume several days. More than 150 witnesses have been summoned t by both sides, and practically every- j body In Sallev is in Aiken hearing (. the trial. It is one of the most interesting that has occurred in Aiken ( In some time. Each side is represent- c pd by able attorneys, and a hard . light will besought. The accused is a well-to-do-farmer ? and stands well with the people of bis section. The murdered man also (, stood well and his murder was a great shock to the community. He s and Boyleston had trouble and it is $ jlaimed that Boyleston laid wait for (j him and assassinated liini one night a shortly after dark. The evidence ( against Hoyleston is circumstantial * altogether, and it will have to be ? revy strong for a jury to convict hiin. t, i f< Killed Baby BroHie;\ g Flossie Ford, fi years old. shot and nstantly killed her :i-year-old broth- ]j r with a revolver at Whitestow.i nd.

Congressional Klection of 1001, Held While Cleveland Was President and Before I try an Han and (lie Party liost Itaclly.?Claim* That He Was for Parker and (he World Was Against Him. In an. interview Mr. Bryan says the So-called map put out by the New York World is worthless. It begins with 1892 and omits the Congressional election of 1894. In that election of 1894, which was held while Mr. Cleveland was President and while the World had some influence as an adviser in the party, tho Republican majority on the Congressional candidates was le.!g?i than it was in either 1896 or 1900, and the Republican majority in Congress was larger as a result of that election than it was as a result of 1896 and 1900. The World will not accuse me of being the leader of the Democratic party at that time, and yet tho party suffered a more disastrous defeat than it suffered in either of the campaigns in which I was a candidate. "Now, is it fair to charge up the dereat of 1904 to my leadership when the party allowed the World to select the candidate that year, and give j him its boisterous advice each day during the campaign? And if I was leader in 1904, in spite of the fact that the World selected the candidate, how can the World prevent my being the leader this year, even if it is allowed to select the candidate again? llow can I get out of j i he responsibility of leadership if 1 could not escape after I was boldly j repudiated, according to the World. I i it IQIlJ' I' ... mo nurin wants to he fair, why does'nt it publish a map of the country showing the party vote in 1S94, and thus inform the public that the party fared better in 18D6 and in 1 ! 00 than in either the Congressional campaign before I ran or the national campaign after I ran? "There is an honest way of lighting political battles, but the World prefers the dishonest way. If it wants to find a reason for the defeat of Judge Parker why doesn't it say that the world contributed to his defeat why doesn't it say that the World received money from the Republican committee for doing so? At least, I assume that the advertising space that the world sold to the national i committee the Sunday before the elections was paid for and was not gratuitously given by the World to the Rehuhlican party as the World's contribution." "A great, many people failed to vote for Judge Parker, and I have not had time to consult all of them personally since election to see why; but I did what I could to secure votes for him, and he not only appreciated my services during the campaign, but ho called upon me the first tiiuo I came to New York after the campaign. 1 was opposed to his nomination for reasons which I gave, but when he was nominated I did all that was within my power to secure his election, and there was not enough money in the Republican campaign committee to buy one inch of space in the Commoner to uso against him, and I shall not allow my loyalty in that campaign to be questioned by a paper that will claim to be the discoverer of a candidate and will then, for a pecuniary consideration, call Ma ..a ?V.- ? ? ? ..^i i nr. im^ca i u i ?i i.ti mull Ulill was as abusive of the candidate as language could have been." "And now you may add a question from me: The World telegraphed me and asked me to name the special interests which it represented. I answered asking the World to state editorially what financial interests, if any, Mr. Pulitzer of the World, had in the stocks and bonds of railroads or in the corporations generally known as trusts. This information would enable me to answer its question more fully. The question had not been answered when I left home. When the World advises the Democratic party, the party ought to be in position to know just what pecuniary interests the World or its owner has in the questions which the World discusses."
