., V I TU8 A 1'UBLISA1ED Subscription One Dollar a Yea itered at the Post Office at Pickens a second-class- matter. lj)sAY, ooTOBER, 20, 1899. ). A. G. Outz. "As a friend to D. A. G. Outz who is a genial, kind hearted man, we are sorry that he is making q figuro of himself before tho peopl of the State by his letters to the bewspapers in referenco to the dis pensary. As a friend to the dispensary, Mr, Olit' statements aro very gratifying le proves beyond tihe shadow of a doubt that the dispen sary has been fairly well managed, and that no sorious cause of com plaint exists against the oflicers o that institution. Tho changing of the labels or the bottles is the gravest misdoed of Mr. Douthit, and for that act th Board of Control were perfectly justified m dismissing him, an( they ought to have dismissed him. Mr. Outz has had a good job for, we believe, some seven years. He was, it is alloged, disilissod for selling a bot le of liquor contrary to ordois. Tlho sale may or may not have been the primo causo of his dismissal, but the Board of Con trol concluded to dispenso with his services, and that ought to have ended the matter. Mr. Outz is a man for whom we have the lindest feelings, and for this reaIsonl N, wC would suggest that he ceaso to "blow off his meouth"1 nmainmst, the m1en0, or the institution o long given himi . good ils existed in the dispoi ught to have mado them hilo ho was still connected )r else he should, on his . nt, noiw be silent, though his letters are a vindication to tihe dispensary."-Abbeville Press and Banner. a1hCh pllilm t .e Pantger Ver~y Capt. Black, the sli ;ring Clerki at the State dispollsary, today comes back at formbr Bookkeeper Outz in the following communication: To the Editor of The State: Since X-Bokkeepor Outz haE finished his book of revolations, I wish to call the attention of th public to the following facts: have been connected with the Stat dispensary as shipping clork siue May, 1598. I aorved under Col Vance, the commissioner, till Ma of the prosent year. From tl time 1 entoredl upon miy dtlies i May, 1898, till Col. Vance loft,i May, 1899, tnoro wias no reason f. aiybody to believe or suspect ai wrong doing; everything worki smoothly, with the exception of 0 - man; that w~as Ontz. lHe ~was ways creating trouble of some ki in ever'y way that he possibly coul lhe wantedl to run everything always disliked me, and, for seve, reasons, when tho board of conti saw fit to displace him as shippi olerk, I was put in his place ; th I have been reliably inforimc nearly killed him. Ho had a tn at the time with seime of the el ployas about me, said that I was gentleman, etc., and that lie won haye rather had his salary reduce $25 than to have lost his place shipping clerk, getting, as I a told, so much a case en certa bad faldyto sh ip tho, 'All of this palsed oniidii ini Janua: 1899, whenm the logislatum~ mel there had to be ono memwber of t~ board of control olected to succe< now X-Commpissionor Douthi then a member of the State boal of control . His opponent wvas Ho TI. C. Robinson of Pickons, S. ( and from what I had seen of Al Robinson I thought him the rig mnan, and a bottor* man than nD1o thit. I wont to work for Robi son ; didl all that was in my pow for himi; hi was elected; this adde fuel to fire withi Otz amnd other In May of of thiis year D~outhit wt elected commniissioner, and Ouzi was as near heaven as lie wanted I beo; he saidl that he would hasn a say when Douthit got in ; this I 1as had, in the way of stealin' etc. He at once set about to rum thme buildiing-all of the doepartment I found that ho was (every tim my back wvas turned) goin through my deskr, looking at m parpers, try ing to give ord era t o m hands etc. I told my truck hand to tell mno when they caught hin in my desk looking ever my pa pe, books, etc.; this they did oi many ocasions. At law~t, a fe' months ago, Mlr. Hi. fE 'I'kmv, ?4 of my hands at that tim%. ny to me that Ouzte had :be~n p through everything. J u ely went to the comnminimen~y V fioe and told Ouzts that if J e'v* caught him in my oflice again G-d d-n thieving scoundrl-es amining my p~rivate~ papers,. would shoot the t.p o.f hi;e jha off. I told him then a f tuuian; I knew how, and tLaa AtiUmgnu could not be mistake. fl was rough with him Capt ~Waihun dowm.I from L~p sta rw ad .aidl in to stop. I told him I mwMd *t1 At soo a tes decided wkedAer~ e oing toflght. I cmfr shet m im in any way he wiah and, li though he weighs abou MP4.ns sd weigh about 144 M cwardy cr1ddn' must have boon a coward and badly soared when I cursed him for all the low- - 's that r I could, and told him that lie was a - thief. ' Ouzts has taken all Of the mis takes of the dispensary and laid them at my door; this, he knows, is a low, cowardly act. I am free to admit that I do make mistakes, the daily shipments running from 500 to 1,600 cases, but there are dozens of times when the goods are put in the wrong stack, and very often marked wrong at the wires; this is caused in a great measure by putting new men to mark the cas es, and this is in a great measure (e to the fact that Ouzts too lazy to do his dutf. Mr. Collins, at the last of each month ever since I have been connected with the State dis. pensary, had to help Ouzts with or straighten his books. This would make it necessary for the superin. M tencdent to put a now man to do the marking; then, of courso, the or rors would bo heard from all over the State. Havo nothing whatever c to do with the marking, and there foro am not responsible for errors th ere. * * As to my doing my duty, whether I was drunk and disorderly or :lot is a mattor with the Stato board of control, and not Ouzts; if it had boon left with Onzts he would have C displaced io with hia lios long g ngo, and instead of my making the te re)ort that I did a month ago and B showing these things up, and doing 11 so without any fear cf anybody C they would havo had full swing J, and instead of their being out of the State dispensary, the Stato dispensary would have been out of sight of the people of South Caro lina, ald it would have only taken g a slort time for such men as Ouzts to sink it financially, and forever. 11e has something to say about 0 my working for Hon. M. R. Cooper S at the last election; I am no Judas, tj I did, I worked night and day for him, and I am indeed glad that he is olected, and if I live till next summer will do so again. This is my first and last Communication to the newspapers, Ouzts is not my equal. I would not speak to such a cur on the streets, but slap his dirty face if he w as to dare to spaic to me. I am still in the city of Columbia, work at the State dis pensary and live at the corner of Surntor and Taylor stroets, and in cuiclusiuion wish to say to the pub lie, that Ouzts was turned out for dishonesty, and violating the or dors of his superior officors, and my opl~ini of him I have expressed to hi lin the presence of witnesses adhave nthesitated to roepeat in rthis article.
