GRAFT OR WHAT? Ktntucky Lawyer ObJ«cts¥ Call ing Commissions Graft STATE DISPENSARY DttioiuM*d by Him, But He Confess' es That His House Paid Commis- slons to Hecure Business From It, and to That Extent Helped to Make ' ft a Corrupt and Disgusting Insti tution. * ' Attorney General Lyon has been gin ii certain information as to whrtn the commissions were paid," said Col. Anthony .1. Carroll of Louls- Tltfe TueBday afternoon at the con clusion of his statement to the die- 'v^pensary commission. The State says he has showed the transactions when "'appeared op the books altd stared to the commission that the * ’So * ^ ■ other informat Lr ^ had been asked for by the attorney general and had been gtv^R 'tft him in conference with Col Felder.* yN. "Tiie attorney general has charge of the ‘graft’ part of Jhe matter and - j - we are probing into the manner of the transact ions,” remarked Capt. C. K. Henderson pleasantly. , This evoked a spirited rejoinder fro: i Col. Carroll, the handsome son of the Blue Grass State who has been speaker of the house of .representa- ^JJyes over there and also mimaging editor of Col.'Henry Watterson’s pa per, the Louisville Courier-Journal. “Not ‘graft,’ if you please, sir. The Paul Jones company which I repre sent will leave South Carolina with a loss on every sale made here even If yon should decide to pay my claim with ail 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. j- “I repel with as good ‘grace as possible the imputation that 'graft' is a lit 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 pnld 'commlssioni,* but no ‘graft.* This ‘graft’ in the dis pensary was the inevitable resalt of n system which I asure you we did not wish to create, nor did we seek to foster or to build It up.'’ The commission then went into ex ecutive session. It wan not made public what was the nature of the Information which Col. Carroll tMid given to Attorney General Lyon, ifGT it must have been something worth while, for Mr. Lyon came into the meeting as Col. Carroll was conclud Ing and made a statement to the com mission In executive session. THEY LYNCHED Mil Mob Ovtrpowirt Militia and Di- putlM and Hangs Negro. This informaton was In P? rt in V p™* Col. Felder’s possession when Col Carroll appeared before the com mission recently, but Col. Felder couTd 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 com mission could be put In possession of information which could not go upon the record aa it will be used in the jproftcutions. “■hen Col. Carroll was heye some ago. Mr. Avery Patton objected to paying the claim of Paul Jones - Co.; on the ground" that the state* meats died by Col. Carroll gave 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 most matter of fact manner, and the commission smiled for the implication was strong that after 1903 it had cost th^ Paul Jones concerm a little something to get orders from South Carolina. When in the course of human events it is found that the commis sion is to pay the 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 wefre ,400 cases pn the books at the dis pensary 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 Invoices and bills of lading to find 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 Septem ber, same year, which had not been recorded on the books at Louisville as a part of the dispensary business. Mr. Cairoll made a brief supple mental stat< ment on Paul Jones & Co. His figures and those of the State dispensary books tally to a cent. There had been an apparent discrepancy of 200 cases In Septem ber, 1904, but he explained this to tne entire satisfaction of the commis sion. The two items had been put on the cash books In Louisville, but not carried over on the regular dispen sary account as they had been remit ted for promptly. , JWIth the addition of these 400 cases , the net shipment _oiL Paul Jones to the South Carolina dispen sary was 2,737 cases. The gross sales from 1902 to the close of the dispen sary were 3,030 qases, but the dis pensary at Us close of business re turned 315 cases. The amount of tile elaim is «21,149, but Col. Car- roU Is willing to take off $5,000 for the “overcharges.’’ Mr. Carroll stated that prior to 1003 there were no “Overcharges/’ that he had gone to the attor- aad had made a complete of the “♦wreharges" PLACED ON TRIAL. Morgan E. IloylcMton Facing a Petit J Jury at Aiken. The trial of Morgan E. Boyleston for the murder of Chief of Police W. H. Davis of Salley, was commenced at Aiken last Tuesday. The defend ant was arraigned the first thing af ter court met Tuesday morning, and after several hours hard work by, the attorneys a full Jury was secured. The defendant is represented by Croft ft Croft assisted by tho •Hendersons, of Aiken, and J. F. Fanning, of Springfield. The prosecution is being conducted by the solicitor, assisted by J. B. 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 thfat he was shot by Morgan E. Boyleston. Dr. Salley, also of Salley, testified that he reach ed the deeased a few minutes after the shooting, and he also heard Dav is state that he had been shot by Boyleston. A plat of the surroundings of the assassinatlbn, prepared by Surveyor Norris, of Aiken, was Introduced. This plat showed thf course of .tracks claimed to be those^qj"'the assassin, which led around a long detour on tne North of Salley, and led to a clay read to within 6(T0 feet of Boyles- ton’s house. The tracks are said to have been traced .no further; As the 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 by both sides, and practically every body in Salley is in Aiken hearing the trial. It is one of thO most irt- teresting that has occurred ip Aiken in some time. Each side is represent^ ed by able attorneys, and a hard fight will be fought. The accused is a well-to-do-farmer and stands well with the people of THE MONEY GOES. 4 ~* Now ttw Peopli’s Monty Is Spout Hy tho Loglslaturo.

He was to havs been tried for his crime. The mili tary and the police were overpowered by a mob of more than one thous and citizens. Several shots were fired during the melee and two mem bers of the mob were wounded. Plgot reached Brookhaven from Jackson Monday morning In custody of Sheriff Frank Greer; sna the armed escort of the Capital Light Guards, ordered Into service by the Governor to protect the negro during the trial. When the soldiers and the negro alighted from the train the mob surged around them and a fierce fight ensued, in which fists were free- Jy used. - v M’be soldiers chihhed tire TflembefB of tlie mob with their guns. After the flght"had lasted five minutes the militia started with the prisoner to the Court House.

It included some of the forcemeri most prominent men in Lincoln County, especially ‘from the neigh borhood of Ruth, where the assault occurred., By the time the train from Jackson had artoved there were over two thousand men in the mob at the railroad station. Nd attempt at concealment was made, not a man in the mob wearing a mask. The flrgt attempt to take the ne- grp from tHe militia proved futile, the soldiers beating the members of the mob hack with the butts of their rifles and taking up the march to the Court House. Before the Court House was reached, however, the growing mbb elftrrely surToundetTThe soldiers and swept down upon them The command was given to fire oy the captain of the company and two men dropped, but the soldiers were swept from their feet and the negro was dragged away from them.

The two men shot down, in the fight were Joseph Cole, of Brookhav en and an unidentified farmer. Neith er is seriously wounded. Be Made Later.

"J • of being the leader of the Democratic party at that time, and yet the par ty suffered a more disastrous defeat than it suffered in either of the cam paigns in which 1 was a candidate. ' “Now, is it fair to charge up the defeat of 1904 to my leadership when the party allowed the World to select the candidate that year, and give him its boisterous advice each day during the campaign? And if I was leader in 19^4, in spite of the fact that the World selected the candi date, how can the World prevent my being the leader this year, even if it is allowed to select the candi date again? How can I get out of the responsibility of leadership If I could not escape after I was boldly repudiated, according to the World in 1904? If the World wants to ha fair, why does’nt it publish a map of the country showing the party vote in 1894, and thus inform the public that the party fared better in 1896 and in 1900 than in either the Cob. gressional campaign before I ran or the national .campaign after I ran? v “There Is an honest way of fight ing political battles, but the World prefers the dishonest way. If it wants to find a reason for the defeat of Judge Parker w^y doesn't it say that the world contributed to his defeat why doesn’t U 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 natlona committee the Sunday before the elections was paid for and was not gratuitously given by the World to the Rebnblican 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; hut I did what I could to secure votes for him, and he not only appreciated tny services during the campaign, but he called upon me the first time I came to New York after the cam paign. I ^waa 'Opposed tp. his noml nation for reasons which I gave, but when he was nominated I did all thai was within my power to secure his ^eie^tjpp, and there was not enough money in the Republjpan cam paign committee to buy one inch of space in the Commoner to use against him, and I shall not allow my loy alty In that campaign to be question ed by a paper that will elaim to be the discoverer of. a candidate and will then, for g_pecuniary consideration sell its pages for a cartoon that was as abusive of the candidate as lan guage could have been.” “And now you may add a question from me: The World telegraphed me and asked me to name thq special interests which it represented, answered asking the World to state editorially what financial interests, if any, Mr. Pulitzer of the World had in the stocks and bonds of rail roads or in the corporations generally known as trusts. This intormatipn would enable me to answer its ques tion more fully. The question had not been answered when I left home. When the World advises the Demo cratic party, the party ought to be in position to know just what pecun iary interests the World or its own er has in the questions which the World discusses.” CALHOUN COUNTY.
