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. W-hftf will bob np next
is hard to say.

A weak- .stomach moans weak
stomach nerves, always, And this
is also true of tho heart und kid
neys, lt' 11 pity that sick ones
continue to drug tho stomach or
stimulate tho heart and kidneys.
The weak nerves, not tho organs
themselves need this help. This
explains why Dr, Shoop's Restor
ative has, and is promptly helping
so many sick ones, lt goes direct
to t hu cause ol these diseases. Tesl
this vital truth and see. duo. T.
