It Is also the plan to summon B. H. Stot- hart, chief of the constabulary at Charleston to testify as to the same alleged charges. The long and short of the matter Is that It has been published in a news paper In Charleston that “graft" has been going to Columbia, and the same i aper published a statement from Mayor Grace to the effect that he had traced the ''graft" direct to the Gov ernor This publication and charge excited the whole state, and that May or Grace Is to be supimoned before he dispensary committee to air his cuarges Is certain.
