He waii talking to me about some accounts which tha committee has held sp Toese are acocunts due by the dis pensary. We have bed some conver sation about this matter before and he renewed th^ conversation there and wished me to give him some de finite Information about when we could reach it. “Asl was standing there talking to him, Mr. Black, ot the dispensary board of directors, appeared hr fore me. I reallv could not state from what direction he cune. I c juld not say whether from the front.or Tear. 1 was Intent with my coovemtloo with • Mr. Solomon. Mr. B.aek’s fuse show ed decided erg trend beuted tone very Insulting language towards me Ha said that be understood V- n had been spying out on him—on hla . private Ufe —a&d things of that kind, w.nd that It was his purpose to kill me 4n the spot. l "I do not care to use eur of the par ticuiar language be \im d on that occa sion, bathe said that he had a notion then and there to shoot me and blow me up on the spot—to use bis expres slon. There was in bis company a per son that I do not know ta hare seen before. My recollection Is that there was a parson In his company with a blue suit of clothes, red mustache and straw hat While he was making hte threats against ml and daring me to investigate his i if an bs also used vary violent language against Senator Christensen, wolob I suppose was Id the nature of a rebuka to me for et tending such a person about the streets. M I remarked that there were three ot them there* that I did not cere to discuss the matter with them; thet I was investigating the dispensary and expected to continue to do so. He was so impetuous, though, thet I scarcely had an opportunity of putting In word, and believing that ha intended to make an attack on me ar^d In put ting his hands about hie person that be Intended to do violence, I turned and walked btek to my room, and ha used some very unpleasant epithets to wards me and told me that I might gonad arm myself. “I returned to my ro m end short ly afterwards returned to Wright’s Hotfil. Asl passed the Oolumbls Hotel I did not see Mr. Black or tie gentleman with him. I presume, Mr. Chairman, that Mr. Black exhibited, or attempted to exhibit, a latter from Mahningi which 1 understand wai from Mr. Black's former borne—Wal terboro it was. I found It necessary to gO to Walterboro a few days sines fbr tha reai on that 1 bad heard—and 1 tan reeagnixs tha difficulties that It is likely to place us in—I heard that Mr. Black sod Mr. H. H. Evans had boss parties to bribing s member of Mas General Assembly who lives ii tha town of Wa'tsrboro. I do no kn4w the facts In that ease. I bad some Information along that line and I went there to get some additional Information in regard to the matter. That wee tha ohjsot of- my vtdt to Walterboro, aad I presume that Mr. Mu been Informed by those of 1 Inquired there of the purpose did go Of In vestigating Mr. Black and Mr. H. H. Evans and this member of the Geper- Assembly, whoee name 1 do not care to mention, as I do not think It s proper, es he is not a party to this transaction. I want to say this, i hat I do not know haw the oommit- | :ee feels about a thlqg of - this sort, but so far as I cm Individually eon Mined I shall continue to Investigate Mr. B ack and Mr. Evans, anl any- else who Is on there and If It is neo- oessary to be blown up In this matter Mr. Black or somebody will have It to do.” WHAT MAJOtt BLACK SAYS. After learning what Mr. L?on stated to the board, which is printed above, Me jor Black said that be jiad never beaid anything shout the alle gation that be said Evans had at tempted to bribe a represet.tative from 2 >Ueton. He aaid He wws incensed at r. Lyon because it appeared to him Mr. Lvon was attempting to houqd/- aim down and blacken hls personal character, because be bad refused to allow Mr. Lyon to run the State dts pensary to suit hlmse f When he went to the dl-peccary he found the institution a half million dollars in debt for whiskey for whioh.it had no use. He had wiped out a -large, amount of this debt by forcing a num her of houses to take back thler uu salable whiskey and had d ne t 1 against the protest ot Lyon and Cbrit- tensen, which they telegraphed from iheWest. They wanted the whibkey kept to suit thler cotveolence. Tcey al so bad been unable t o f ire? hi m to buy at a logs to the State, from firms they favored He had blocked their little geme to force the board to b\iy from their henchmen and let them u».urp the powers the Legislature had given to the State bbard. ^ When they found it impossible to get anything against his iffloial rec ord, to gratify their spite, they *en deavored to blacken hls personal char acter. He had a copy of the taking of testimony in Cinoioaatir-'ta this attempt was made and in which they attempted to black*h Suprene Court Justices end Circuit Judges of this State by asking If they bad received presents of whiskey or other things from a house he bad onoe rep resented In a cl i leal way. MaJ r Black said he had always tried to live elean life and bis < fflilal recori as sheriff, mayor and In other capacities would show he had never dohe any thing dishonest la hie life. HU char acter was hls proudest possession and the beat thing he eould hand down to ala children was a clean name. He had no Intention of permitting anybody to blacken It to gratify their personal ta#lA. — — Maj ir Black aald the letter referred to wea from hla brother, H. W.

As a neither of the State board he had m.t tried to please Lyon, but to do whai was right; and Chairman Hay and Governor Hey ward could both testify that he had consulted them and was earneat in his endeavor to know and do the right thing;; Mr, Mobley, the clerk, bad been sent to see Cueirman Gay about some of the problems of the State board, and hls advloe had been taken, r . Major Black said the board was willing to do anything for the Invest- (gating committee as a whole, but they were elected to run the State dispensary and were not giing to torn over the running of the institution to either the whole Investigating com mittee or a part of It Finally, Major Btack aaid: ‘ Wnen my personal chancier la assailed I am willing to die by it.

Tbe boys body was found several miles from the scene of tbe crime tied In a sack. Considerable excitement prevails “Tbe great calamities that have be fallen part of oar country within tbe memory of these pest middle Ilfs,* said he, “namely, tbe Chicago fire, the Charleston earthquake, tbe Johns town flood, and the Sin Fraodsoi earthquake and eocflsgration, brought tbe world te Its feet with offerings of money and relief. Everybody gave, and wealthy men gave most gener ously. Everybody gave on faith, moreover, without personal knowledge of tbe conditions existing In those places or tof the manner In which tbe money would be expended. Every body agreed that help was needed, and everybody was willing to help. “AH of them calamities combined are not as great as li the calamity of tuberculosis to oar e .antry every year. The loss of life in a single year by tuberculosis is fifty times greater than it waa in all those calamities. Tbe nemles of □verted ai tbe < many have for a single yeer Is greeter than was the total snfferlng In those calami ties.

The governments of France and Germany, said he, active- r participate In the work of the amo- ernojent of this state. Therefore. It cannot be denied that what them morally, or ghytioally, tbat tends to make them better men and ottizens, has bencfioial reaolto for scores of years after they leave tbe college. ■ The profemor was discussing the al egatlou tbat tbe dlapensary was s governmental novelty, practically without preoedent. He laughed at this theory and quoted a number of precedents of governmental control of business, even where there was not tbat chief reason for the dispensary, that Is a beneficial exercise of tbe po lice power of the stele. Continuing be said in substar.oe. A remarkable tribute to tbe dispen sary la the fact tbat in tan jsara tha faculty, d tbe South OarollBa-uelver- sit; has not had oocaelonsd to toy a student for intoxication. It la unfor tunately true that among the more than three hundred studcntfW tha university there are some wbo drink but tbe conditions have been so Chang cd by tbe operation of tbe dispensary tbat none of them drink so that it M necessary for tbe faculty to take cog nlzancc of tbelr Indiscretions. It was □ot so in the days prior to tbe dispen sary, when there were so many temp tations and induoementp to young men to drink. Than many a young student, without Intending to do no, drank to the point oflBfoxioatioo. He would oome up street for one rea* or another, meet friends, atop In a bar to take a drink or two, get Into a crowd of good fellows, ascb of whom It slated he most have bis turn at treating, and take a half dezen or more drinks where he bad only Inten ded taking one.
