But his prepared 1 hpeeoli is of interest and is given in c full as follows: * 1 think the facts will warrant me * lu cla,ruing Li al 1 knew as much or 0 more about the dispensary and about * the liquor tralllc in general than any 1 othtr one man in the .Slate. The law 1 wasenacUdiu December, 18D2, and * went luto effect 1st of July ri.liuwlng. * During in is mte.val 1 examined most I thoroughly Into the whole question 1 and gave the administration c* the * proposed system the most earnest * thougiit. Everbody predicted failure ' and 1 was most anxious that the ex- * perlouLiu sbeuid suceeo 1. For a year 1 and a half 1 administered the law 1 almost alone, and I there fore had the fullest opportunity, both by observa ' tion ana experience, to find out its ' good and bad puiuts, and above all, Its weakness. ' Tne original draft and much that Is ( still in lite law was the work of the 1 proamnion committee, and only suon 1 changes were made in the bill as it 1 passed toe House as was evidently no f cessary for the ciiunged purpose to L whicn the law was to bedevoted. At the next se.ss.on of tne Legislature uij efforts were devottd entirely to e strencthniiiiio t,ni> QQ u ? 0 M WMVU uw UV U?U j prevent ana punish toe illicit sale of ( liquor. 1 guve no thought to safe- t guarding the Stale agamst fraud in t its administration except in the rules c and regulations, tecause 1 did not s not then believe, ana 1 do uot now (1 believe, that the State of South Caro- a lina could ekct three men to the lf highest responsible < dices of Govei- t n-ir, Comptruder Geuoial and At'or- t ney General who wo tld fall so low as ? to become thieves. During the years that the system has been on trial the lav/ has been changed time 0 and time again. But my opinion and t advice have had no weight. The llrst e bad blunder was takipg the law out of o the bancs of men elected by tne peo- h pie and putting It into the hauds of a o board elected by the Legislature. The G next mistake was takmg the appoint- b ment of the county board out of the U hands of the State board, and giving fi it to the delegation in the Le/lslature o from eacn oouuty. Tne State board o Is no longer directly responsible to the h people, and there is no way to get al n It unless the Governor si tuld exerche a his implied power of removal. The q county board is no longer responsible t. to the State board, because It. does f< not depend upon that hoard for ap- ri pointmeiit and is not responsible to L that board, except in a way, but locks ti to the Legislative delegation. Temp n tations that l he Governor and other t high State otliclals would have baen si expected to withstand have, 1 fear w proven too strong for the boards \\ elocted by the Legislature. The ad- o ministration by the State board has t been lax and altogether censurable It has allowed some of the most v&lu- S able restrictive features of the law to o fall into disuse?filling out request h blanks, selling to minors, drunkards, t. etc. There has been no executive t head with power to see that the law hi was administered in good faith, and t the county boards have too often al- p lowed Improper influences, nepotism o and other selfish motives to govern in c electing dispensers. One of the most h far reaching and destructive actions s of the State board was the change in t the manner of buying liquor from b that which was instituted in the be- h glunlng, to wit, the purchase of whls- n key to be sold under the brand and si name and in the package of the seller, n The original scheme, which has the a soundest reasons in good business Judgment for Its inauguration, pro- tl vlded that no liquor, except bought k in barrels and bottled at the dispen- s w lary and labelled X, XX, XXX, i K XXX according to age ana quality. \ii of the bottles sold through the Uspensary were tf full measure and ill the whiskey of full proof, as desigaated ou the label, and all were sealed tightly with the best sealing wax The prices were put ou a card and lung in the window, so that there jould be no cheating of the purchaser ijy the rtispencers. Case goods were nine*im"H l?otight but only upon jpeclal orders of Individuals. They were not kept In stock. Let us see what demoralization has been wr ugh* by the departure from this policy. The tirst years of the dispensary's ?x tstence. the l? c \l d,spen*eih were nut approa liable by any man In the won key trade, because no one knew where the 1 quorcarae from, and there wa? no chaica to bribe or corrupt a li cal dispenser to push any special brand. No oases were sh pped di rtctlv to the dlHpens* rs in the packages lrem t,; e distill* rv, so there was tr onauce t> put in extra battles as srlbes. Everything went from th" s ale disp* iisary. All cases were of jnlh rm s one for quart *, one for pints nr.id one for half pints, and they le d a given number of bottles. The iquur was sealed hermltieUly. There .vas no chance to change labels or dt'-r bottles. The request books jri v ti eh that., and the Governor vas in the closest touch with every jog and wheel in the machinery, 1 n.'l a detective who wa'" nod the con, tables an*l who reported to ir.o alone v'eth; r or Il( t they were in oollusl d vith blind tlgors.

Tne i State eommhsioner subjected to the temptation of sending out tlie case foods of this or that lirm in prcferjnce to those ordered by the dispenses. Tbe opportunity for graft, the pot phrase now In vogue, was im nense. The original scheme adopted, is I say hastily, depended for the In -jcgrity of Its administration upon the ilgh character and honor of the State's hlgnest ottlcials. But when #ve recollect that, as it Is now adminstered and lias been for six or eight irears, through the breakage charges, eakage charges, watering the Jiq lor n the local dispensaries because of pottles not properly sealed, changing abels, buying places as dispenser, the ipportunlty for stealing at the dispensary in not sending cut all the lquor bought, hut shipping it (IT, it s a wonder we have not had a worse arrival t. f corruption than seems to :xlst. 1 do (iot doubt after the exposure n Spartanburg others wiil ? q lal If r ot iclipse It elsewhere. 1 coulu go mure nto di tail uud discuss tills piaso of ( he subject more &t length, but I iretfcf to point out the remedies which lave suggested themselves to mv nincl and which In the future I feel ure v ill be adopted and be the means j f rtforming the dispensary system j ,nd making it well nigh imp ssible or any one any where to steal any of he public money or bo corrupted bv he temptations which have been so ] lentlful heretofore. v Wo will take the State dispensary 1 rst. 1 believe the administration of i ids law should be in the hands of men , lected by the people, the same as the ther laws are. 1 believe and always c ave thought that a board ex officio, 1 omposed of the Governor, Attorney leueral and Comptroller General, to ( e the best that can be devised. Now f o prevent even these high officers t rom being subjected to temptation .1 r laying themselves open to charges } r corruption, such as my enemies ave not hesitated to bring against i re, I suggest the following plan. Lot t dvertisement be made, as now re c uired by law for bids to be submitted ( j furnish the State of South Carolina 1 >r a year with such whiskey, brandy, ' urn, wine and beer as it inav r?<i Mr* J ? " jot tlics Act go into details and ^.pect- 9 cally describe the kii:d and quality eeded. Whiskey and beer are the r wo main things, and these two are t laplearUc'as and can be described r nth such delink teness and particular t \,y that there will be slight ueed even r. f an analysis by the chemist. L"?t hese bids be submitted In triplicate t ?.aled with wax. One sent to the i tate Treasurer, aecompauled by a heck for $10,000 as evidence of good 1 fclth, one sent to the Chief Justice of I he Supreme Court and one sent to 1 he Speaker of the House of Itepre- 1 sntallves. Have these opened during ] he session of the Legislature In the resence of the dispensary committee 1 f the two houses, and award the < on tract to the lowest bidder. Then 1 jt the State board enter Into it with I ucb lowest bidder, requiring the con- < ~ -1 I. * ' * muu'ji i/u ui p'jNiL ior iue runiment or < Is obligation $100,000 in South Cir- i na State bonds, or suoh amount as iay be thought necessary, which 1 tiall be subject to forfeit if he does t ot comply strictly with all the terms 1 nd conditions of his agreement. ( The contract being thus made for 1 tie purchase of whiskey of a given ] lnd and quality at a given price, the j late commissioner who will have 1 s w' charge of the b?8ine?? part of the dispensary cau orler ( ut from the distillery at such t me and In such quantities as may be necessary the liquors needed to suppl the demand ol ti e local dispensers. Have the bottles and other supplies t>at may be needed purchased In a similar manner to the whiskey, all of th?se heir g paid for by cash checks on tht treasurer. Let the State cnmoclssiomr take out a rect.1tier's license and hive Hie liquor bottled after durnp'ng ai d mixing wnen d'^lrrd, and this aunt be un lor the Immediate Hupervisl n and inspection of a United States revenue otlicer, whose books will be i check as to the quantity that will thai enter into the consumption. Let the llspenser's bo >kN and the internal revenue collector's books be Inspected q urterly by such person as tl e State ooard may appo>nt for that pu p i'P, to see tear, the qu tl ity of the goods contrac ed f jranu cb?* goods delivered corre*p>nd, and thai all the K'Kif'8 purchased have he en si n t out fron theiS tiledispensary or otherwise acceuntul for. The, Legislature, through its coirnaittoe, can xan.lrn* into and report at each m*ss1ou upon the whole management. L it the n loio and brar d of the Hq ior be blown into the k.-vssro there can be 110 change of labels. Have^no ease poods kept Ju s'ock and ccntlne the purchase of ihese to special orders from private individuals. I>o away with beer dispensaries as now run, and let the regular cspc era keep t>eor on len to be used by Hi bottle only, aufl not drunk on fhe promises. Above all soe that the req 'Stbonks aro always used before a purchase Is made. So much f r the central depot. Now for the local dispensaries. I oelieve more satlsfactl n will result and a better administration of the law be had, if the supervision and control of the local dispensaries he place d in the hands of the county supervisors elected by the people, the 1 mayor of the town la which the dls- 1 pensary is located, elected also by the pe< pie, and cue pers ?n to be app lut['.d bv t.he Slftt.P. hnjtrrl u/hr. ol>all r-o , ? ? V, , v< uv Uilfill IV/* [loive reasonable compensation for lits time and labor. I1 jey I ave the local dispensers elected by the people of the county. Where there is more ttan i one they can be elected on a joint i ticket. Let the Governor have the power to renx vfor eaubeand let him exercise it vigorously. Any one familiar with the conditions as they now exist can readilv understand why such amendments to ; tiie law as a?e here outlined will make It. almost impossible for any one connected with the dispensary from the top to the bottom to steal any of the public money. We will have bettor liquor, and if the grand juries do their duty we will have no more Sparsanburg scandals. It must not be forgotten that no law was ever devised that can enforce itself. lie said a detective ought to keep after the dispensers to see that request books are used, and the law is better enforced, lie was not afraid ab ut going back to the Senate. lie simply wanted to stand on his record, but if any better man can bi found, elect him. He was not mixing politics in this aifair, but others were doing so. AGAINST THE BOOK TfUHT. Court* Decide th*t Individual MorcbaiitMCa.ii itcdueo Prices.
