Feb. 23.—Several days ago the Columbia Record, which is the chief mourner at the funral of the State dispensary, pub ished a lo cal article and also an editorial, in timating that Governor Ansel would annoint and should appoint a dispen sary auditor, under the Carey-Coth- nn Act S nator Nei s Christensen. Jr. of Beaufort, who was one of the hardest workers for the Carey-Coth- ran bill and one of the most deter- nin d opponents of the state dispen sary system, one who has done as much as anv one else to bring about its downfall. Th" friends of Senator Christensen were very much surprised by these ar ticles. and none more so than Gover nor Ansel. The first suggestion of Mr. Christensen in this connection, which had be‘-n made to the Gover nor. was the query of the Record the day the articles were published. This correspondent wired Senator Chris tensen for his replv to the articles and the following has been received: Senator Christensen's Letter. Beaufort. S C.. Feb. 23, 1907. The use of mv name by the Record in connection with the dispensary auditorship is unauthori'.ed. unwar ranted and preposterous. I have not had training as an auditor It has been permitted to me by an overruling Providence to be one of the instruments in tie- overturning of the former State dispensary, for wheh I am deeply grateful, but the satisfaction in the task springs large ly from the fact that it was under taken and finished at a personal sac rifice and without hope of reward. For two years I have given most of ni> time and energ,- to the investiga tion of the former State •(its icnsary. Th compensation allowed $4 tier day and five cents per mileage, Dl of wheh barely covered travelling ami living exp uses Moreover, the ■omropriation- made h\ the Legisla ture to carry on these investigations wi re so Inadequatt that the> would have failed, in vety large measures, if I hail not guarani-cd. over the sig nature of the firm of which I am a ’nornher. to be responsible for the payment of bills agg ( gating several thousands of dollars. I cannot bring myeslf now to ac- c< pt any office that might be con structed to be a reward. If I were necitliatlv fitted for this work and the situation -emed to demand my services, as anoth' r situation plainly demanded the s- twice.- of my co- worker. I would accept di -pite the vt that it. is distasteful. There are ’any ski’led auditors in this State. am not one. Worked Unselfishly. Mr. Christensen is a member of ’-e firm of Neils Christensen A Sons, of Beaufort, who are among the larg est concerns in that portion of the State, and Mr. Christensen neglected his persona! business to spend a large portion of his time on the work of the investigating committee. Not only that, but he obligated himself and bis firm for the payment of the lulls of the Pink* rton detective agency for service rendered to the committee and a sworn statement to this effect appears in the report to the Legis lature. Mv Christensen has good nerv<-. as was shown in his work on that committee, and his friends re- marki-d on it again when he was told one night a few we«ks ago that his firm had lost about $30,000 in the big fire at Beaufort, and he never changed countenance; he kept at his work in the Senate and did not go home until the Ix-gislature had ad- iourned. after killing the disnepsary. He is not a job hunter and doe? not need to be. Guaranteed Detective’s Fees. In Die report of the investigating committee to the Legislature the fol lowing affidavit is publised: Slate of Ohio. County of B I, Crowe, being sti-’es that he is the in charge of the office National Detective Agency in Cincin nati. Ohio, through winch office the -aid agency rendered services to the Slate of Carolina b\ direction and authority of Niels Christensen. Jr.. S.

C. ‘Don't Overlook the South.” l nd*-r the above heading the American Advertiser, of New York, says “the development of the South in the past few years has been rnar- v* lions Its farming intere-sts are in better shape than since the war. and in manufacturing Die strides have be. n trem minus. The fact that there are more man 3<H) cotton mills a’- 'u* within 100 miles of Charlotte, N. (’., will give som< idea of the progress made. With the water ’tower already deveoped. and con- < mplated. in that section it. is hard o prophesy the progress t.iat. will be uade in the next ten years. There is no need of waiting for the South o progress. It now offers a remark- field for advertisers. The imount of Nort’ ern capital already n all parts of th South and more of t still going into various forms of in- • st.nents is c-'’ m"- of what the shrewdest financiers of the country think, of the nossbilities of that sec- 'on. Good crops, increased iudust- •i*-s. diversifi d products, go to make lie South a great commercial region ind, no advertiser should ‘pass’ up- in it lightly.” jGardun Seeds 1 I I I 8 a We have just re ceived a complete stock of loose (Jar- deu Seeds.
