These disclosures are thus epito mized by Mr. August Kohn, staff co' respondent- of the Obarleston New-s and Courier: First. That til psitions connect. ed with the dispensary here were ) ir 'tered and sold faor moiey, borrowo 1 money or endorsenentF. Second. That even $50 cloR shipM were bartared, and H. H. Cunninghnm was paid $50 cash by the chairmanl of the county board to withdraw his application for a $50 clerkship. Third That the then elairmann of the county board of cont1rol sold liquor and traveled from t ,wn to town, and that he sok] liquor by tell. ing dispensers lie would have them remuoved by a friend an the stite board if they did not patroiniz- him Fourth. That diring the siession of the -legislature satchls full of liquor were taken from the rooms of candidates for memabership of the board by Mr. Mahaffey, member of the house. Fifth. That ill dispensers here have received case upon case of com plinawetary liquor fiom houses selling to tile dispen itr, and that most often these complimentary liquors have been put oil the abelf, and the liquor sold for personal gain, without accounting to the state or county. Sixth. That the Mallard Coin pany, Richland Distillery and Bluon. that & Bickart mundo a practice until recently of packing one or two extra bottIcs of liquor in each case, and these cases wcre complimentary to the dispenser; that they were sold as regular stock goods and no account made of such sale to the state or the county, but this was to the gain of the dIispenser. Ssventh. That, in addition to grat. uitous liquor, the dispensers received free umbrellas, smoking sets, founi tain pens, match boxes, wines, and even suits of clothes. Eighth. That at least one dispen ser here is cha~rged with thme habit of changing the labels of liqnor and sell ing as two) X goods that wvhich was sent hin as one X goods, and that this same dispenser has accumulated thousands within his few years of service. Ninth. It was developed that the .'Richiand Distilling company, and Bluthenths~l & Bickart have been pay ing 25 cents for empty cases which or iginally contained thieit. goods. This is supposed to have been a method of boosting the salet'. One witness Lesti fled that Rlock Castle cases were p~aid * for at 25 cenmts each, without the hot * ties, and that they wvere not returned It wvas shown that these empty cases, other than those sold to the shipping houses wvere sold locally to drug houses for not more than five cenis and often for less. Tenth. That dispensers have writ ten to liquor houses for gratuitous li quor to help them make up shortages. lleventh. That empty cases were r-un in the stock aceount and were counted as stock on hand, when they ware entirely empty. Twelfth. That two members of the county board of control signed certifi. cates that they had actually witnessed * the checking ot the stock in the diepeai. sais signed and approved the ex pense accounts and breakage accounts and left them with dispensers to uise as they saw lit. Several of these cor tificates on 'vhich the dispensers were to make up their 'accounts were ex. hibited, signed in blanlk, wvith oilicial approval to stock taking, expenses A, and the like, that were to happen months ahead. Thirteenth. That in Spartanburg Mr. Blackwood, in partioular, was nesed as a hnft'ett to bull the market. * He was premised time and again a position and a-ked to file an applica tion, 'and he now thinks this was done simply to get the other fpllow to raise his price to the county hoard, two of the members telling him plainly thlat 6t was a matter of dollars and cents to get ihe office, and after they got thme offl44sthat they couldl easily make 6t b6ok. ~ ,'q~t rteenib.
