A.D. M. K. Mo dors, SENSATIONAL STATEMENTS. Two Lies Passed in Columbia Much Excitement. There was a great sensation in Columbia last week winni it- be came known that Attorney (lou erai Lyon denounced editor Koos tor, of tho Columbia llceord. ll appears that the issue ol' the Re cord on Thursday afternoon con tained an editorial attacking Lyon and tho dispensary commission and insinuating that Lyon luid bought evidence from the liquor houses in order to convict the grafters. Koostor was summoned before the commission and was examined by attorney Stevenson. He denied making any reflection on thc com mission. And then tho attorney general denounced him for a dirty infamous liar and dared him to re sent it,. Col Fielder, the Georgia lawyer who is assisting in tho prosecution, also took a hand and made some statements because Koostor had been lighting him. In Friday evening's issue of the Record there appeared a long ar ticle on tho front page from Koos tor in explanation. While before tho commission he had sat under tbs insults which Lyon hurled at him. In this article he comes back at Lyon and calls him a dirty ver min and other names of thc kind, Ile also pays his respects to Fol der and tho others who took part in the, attack on him. Koostor says in explanation of tho reason why he is supporting the former dispensary ollicials that they are friends: of his and until j they aro convicted ho* will stand j by them. lie says that he will continue to critisi/.o thc attorney general and say w hat he jileases about him. The situation is fraught with possibilities, Lyon called Koos tor a dirty liar and dared him to resent it. Koestor did not say a word while all this abuse was be ing heaped upon him before the dispensary investigating commis sion but in his paper the following day carno back al Lyon and called him a nifty vermin and defied him. But this was not tito only lie passed. In testifying before the investigating commission L \Y Barker said that La?aban, who did a large liquor business but who died not long' ago, told him thal Blouse was his agent in this slate or rather his go between with the dispensary board. lie stated that Lanai an had tob 1 him thal Blouse, had been retained by him at a salary of $'2.000 per year. Blcaso is senator from Newberry and the next day he arose in his seal in the senate chamber und branded the charge as ti lie. He said that GiOV Ansel, and some olliers aro conspired against him and tluit the Governor would lun e to meet liiin next sunnier on tho sf ump ?ind as man to man. Meanwhile the investigating is going on, lin? senate is still in ses sion, and the Record is still having editorials from the pim ol' George Koostor.
