SHIPPING CLERK BLACK'S REPLY, rHere is whtk he has to say : Since ex-Bc okkeeper Oasts hts finish book of revelations I wish to cali > aUeniioD of the pablio to the fol lg- facts: I have been connected the State dispensary aa shipping since May, 1898. I served Cpl. Yance, the commissioner, tili May, of the present year From tho time I entered anon my da ties in pfcy* 1898, tili Coll Yaoee, left, in ^Hty* 1899, there was no reason for Anybody to believe or suspect aoy : frroog doiog ; everything worked |%mootsly with tho" exception of one f iaaa; that uuan was Oozts. He was Always creating trouble of some kind ..f very* way that he possibly could Me wanted to ron . everything ; he always disliked me and for several > enaoos. When the board of control Claw fit to displace him as shippiog Ip&rjt I was pat in his place. This, I ;liavc been reliably informed, nearly t^iUed him. He had a talk at the time jvith some of the employes abo ot me; ;t id I was ac gentleman, etc. and that Iso would have rather had his salary s iredoced $25 than to have lost his place t' shipping clerk, getting, as I am old. ao mach a cese on certain brands -of whiskey to ship them. Ail of this ?patsed oo till io Jae nary, 1898, wheo K legislatare met. There bad to be member of the board of control elected itosuceeed DOW ex-Commissioner Doo tb.it, then a member of the State board gfjoi control. His opponent was the ' Con. T. C. Robinson, of Ptokens, and from what I had seen of Mr. Robin SOD : I thought him the right man and a better mao than Bootbit. I weot to ; work for Robinson ; did ali that was ie my power for him. He was elected. Thia added foei to fire with Onzts and others. Io May, of this year, Donibit was elected commissioner and Oczts was as near heaven as he wanted to be. " He said thai he would have a say when Booth it got io. This be bas bad io the way of stealing, etc. OMNIPOTENT 0CZ1?S. He at once set about to roo the baildiog-all of the departments. I found that he was (every time my back was turned) going through my desk locking at my private papers, trying to give orders to my haods, etc. I told my track bends to teil me wheo they osagbt him io my desk looking over my papers, books, etc. This they did on maoy occasions At last, a fee? months go, Mr. H S. Thomas, ooe of my hands at that time, reported to me that. Oozts bad beeo going through everything. I immediately weot to be commissioner's office and told Oazts that if I ever caught him ia my office again examioiog my private papers-a -d ^d-o thieving scoundrel-i would shoot the top of bis.bead off I told bim theo and there all I koew how, and the laogoage oould o ot bs mistaken. I was so rough with bim Capt Webb came down from ap-st airs and 'asked me to stop. I told him I would as sooo as Oazts deoided whether or not be was going to fight. I offered to fight him io aoy way be wished and, although be weighs about 275 poonda od I weigh about 140 pounds, the cowardly our didn't dare opec his mooth. All of these dates that be has given io the papers were stolen from oar offices, bat a large majority of them are lies He says I was druok and disorderly. Well, I suppose be most have beeo such a coward aod so badly soared wheo I carsed him for all the low things that I could, and told him that be was a thief. Oaste bas takeo all of the mistakes of the dispensary aod laid them at my door. This he koows is a low, coward ly act. I am free to admit that I do make mistakes io the daily shipments running from 6ve hundred to fifteen hnodred oases, but there are dczeos of times wheo the goods are put io the wrong stack and very often marked wroog at the wires. This is caused io a great.measure by putting new men to mark the cases and this is io a great measure doe to the fact that Oazts was too lazy to do his duty. Mr. Collies, at the last of each moa tb, ever since I have been connect ?iib 'ire dispensary, bad to belp Oazts with, or straighten, books. This would make it necee for the superintendent to pot a mao to do the marking ; theo, ooorse, the errors would be heard f all over the State. I have nott whatever to do with thc marking s therefore, am oct responsible for er there This is only some as this fernal liar knows. I have sent many as five cases marked wn i back to the wires to be remarked ! one time I admit, as I said baie that I make mistakes, and beli every man does ; this, however, not stealing When I make a mist; ii is my duty to correct it, whicr. have always done ; when a man ste he should not be allowed io go large ike this fellow Ouzts, but penitentiary is the proper place such criminals The following statement fr< Capt. B. C Webb, and Mr. M. Mobley, will show that Ouzts ms mistakes as well as I : Appreciating the fact that all bo ness institutions are subject to cle errors, the State board of control I wisely adopted 8 very thorough s tem of checking one department another. All invoices made out the invoice clerk. Mr. Oazts. w( sent ap to my office fer verificati the same being done by Mr. M obi and myself-hence, the errors of A Ouzts, which occur almost daily a numerously, are correct by us befe the invoices are seat out frc the office. Under the same rule the invoi clerk was required to check agair the shipping department, bot I nev could get Mr Ouzts to attend reg larly to this, and I am not sarpriai at the occur rance of ^ome m st ak in that department, and which liable to occur with any man at i head, if not checked against. Had known that Mr. O oz to kept a r cord of Mr. Black's errors, would have kept one against Ouz that Ouzts that he might see tl "errors of his way.'* It is the dui of the clerical -force to correct t errors, and it is but simple conrtef between all gentleman to do so witl out advertising same to the worl But we are admonished that all me are not born alike. -I make th's statement at the ri quest of Capt. Black and appen statement fro,m Bookkeeper M. Mobley. (Signed) B C. Webb. Clerk to State Board of Contre P. S A s a parting shot Mr. O uzi gracefully retired from the offic leaving to the successor a legacy < one of his errors by charging on account with $397 25, when should have been charged to ai other. Under the regulations of the ir stitution ft was a part of my duty t verify all invoices made ont by Ir voice Clerk Ouzts, and I fono almost daily numerous errors to coi rec t (Signed) M. H. Mobley, .Bookkeeper to the Board of Control He h?.s on several occasions sen cases of whiskey from the building this be might say was sent to him and no doubt some of it was, but to* much went away. There is now loeb ed up in the desk that that be worke< at, at the State dispensary, twenty o twenty one? bottles of whiskey-i regular "blind tiger " He is meai enough to soy something about Mr Sarbardt getting a little over bi; regular wages in the absence of superintendent, when I must say h< has on ail occasions made, when lef in charge of the bottling department as good a superintendent as evei saw the building, still Ouzts goes north, visits whiskey men, and stay three weeks and on his retorn draw his regalar salary and Mr. Collins who took his place. I am informed only received 15 00 for doing Oazts jwork for three weeks. Why did he visit for three weeks whiskey men al the north ? Who paid for the trip \ Of course, we ali have au idea. Ile 6ays too that all of the members, 1 believe though that he only mentions three io Dumber, have relatives in the dispensary. Suppose that they have, if they are competent and honest, whose business is it but theirs ? Toe fact of the matter is, Ouzts has a nephew there himself, and while be didn't have the power to put him there it was his influence One of the most cowardly things that I ever heard of was when he tried to stab Mr. Miles in the back ! by slapping at Mr. F. E. Young in the newspaper. Mr Young is an i orphan boy, working hard to support his mother and aunt, everybody likes him io the boilding, he is as true as steel, the right kind of blood runs tbroogh his veios, he is honest and upright io every respect ; this is the kind of boy Oazts don't like If he could be induced to steal be would be an engel. Ouzts says he is not competent and saya thal be made lots of mistakes ; I believe he does, like any other man, make some. There was a shipment from Tallapoo sa, 6a , that Ouzts eays was checked up wrong by Mr. Young, 65 cases of empty bottles The following will ehow what the glass company had to say about it : Tailapoosa, Ga , Sept 22, '99 Hon State Board of Coutrol, Colum bia, S. C Dear Sirs : We have your tele gram ordering one car of half pints, also letter confirming same and ordering one car of pints, which shall receive our prompt attention. We are now loading a car, in which we will pat one-half pints and one ball half pints, so that you can have some of each, and as soon as we can get another car set in we wiil send an other loaded one half each., We herewith enclose you credit voucher for 65 cases, 27 1-12 gross error in shipment August .31st, and thanking you for favors shown, w.e remain, Yours very truly, (Signed) Dixie Glass Co , By A Norton, Treasurer. As to my doing my duty, whether I was drunk and disorderly or not is a matter with the State board of control, and not Ouzts ; if it had been left with Ouzts he would have displaced me with his lies long ago, and instead of my making the report that I did a month .ago and showing these things np, and doing so without any fear of anybody they would have had foll swing and instead of their being out of the State dispensary, the State dispensary wonld have been ont of sight of the people of Sooth Carolina, and it would have only taken a short time for such men as Ouzts to sink it financially, and forever. He has somethiog to say about my working for Hon. M R Cooper at the last election; I am no Judas, I did, I worked night and day for bim, and I am indeed* glad that he is elect ed, and if I live till next summer will do so again. This is my first and last communication to the newspa pers Ouzts is not my equal. I wonld not speak to such a cur on the streets, bat slap bis dirty face if he was to dare to speak to me I am still in the city of Colombia, work at the State dispensary and live at the corner of Sumter and Taylor streets, and in conclusion wish to say to the public, that Oozts was terned out for dishonesty, and violating the orders of his superior officers, and my opin ion of him I have expressed to him m the presence of witnesses and have not hesitated to repeat in this article.

Boers Defeated and Driven Prom Eland8laagte. Landon, Oct. 22.-At 2 o'clock this morniing the war office posted the following from Gen. Sir Archi bald Hanter : "Ladysmith, Oct 21, 8 45 pm - Gen. White rode towards Elands laaggte at 2 30 p m. The force under Gen. French left here at 4 a. m. by road and rail to Modders bridge. By 2 p m. it had been gradually strengthened to the foliow iog total : Fifth Lancers, a squadron of the 5th Dragoon Guards, two-field batteries, the Natal field battery, the Devonshire regimeot, half the Man chester regiment, halt the Gordon Highlanders, the Imperial Light Horse and two squadrons of Natal volunteers. "I remain here in defence of Lady smith, with the Gloucester regiment, half the Manchester, half the Gor don Highlanders, a mountain battery and five hundred Natal volunteers. "Gen. White7s intention was to open the railway to Dundee and re turn here with his troops tonight. "At 7.45 a report was received by telephone saying we had carried the enemy's position, capturing their camp equipment, horses and wagons. The cavalry are in pursuit The operators on the instruments say we have some wounded, bul have no de tails yet. I expect Gea. White will be late, so will wire for him. Eiandslaagte is a small etatiou on the railway about midway between Glencoe Station and Ladysmith. The Boers occupied the place on Thursday or Friday, and cut the rail way in order to prevent British troops being sent either way between Lady smith and Glencoe. The News, Meagre Bat From English Sources, Show That the Boers are not Van quished. London, Oct. 24 -No newe yet received tends to dispel the appre hension caused by Lord Wolsleys brief summary of the situation A Pieter maritzburg dispatch says that the censor now permits no messages to be sent frorh the front. Other dispatches represent the Boers as boasting that Dandee is absoutely out off, and assert that, despite the British victories, the situation is still uncertain. The Pretoria dispatch giviog the report of Gen. Joabert to the govern ment evidently refers to the first battle at Glencoe, and the reasons .why Com mandant Erasmus failed to come to the assistance of Commandant Meyer cannot be fathomed Had he done so, the British victory might have been still more dearly bought. It appears certain, however, that the brilliant victory at Eiandslaagte was productive of no effect for the relief o? Glencoe, aod tbe very reticence and brevity of Lord Wolsleys communica tion are only too ominous It seems to be worded tc prepare the public for bad news, and it ir only too likely that Gea. Yuie bas been compelled to abandon the wounded and the prisoners at Dan j dee because his force is too weak to bold tbe four and a naif mites separat ing Dundee from Glencoe. Probably Gen. Yule believes hs can better protect Dundee from an eoemy advancing from the northwest by con centrating ali his available strength at Gleoooe, where there are now 3,500 men aod three batteries In tbe mean time efforts wili be made to reopen the railway and to get reinforcements from Ladysmith. It ii? expected Commandant Erasmus has probably by tbis time joined Com mandent Joubert and that their com bined columns amounts to some 10.000 or 11,000 men. while the Free State Boers, now threatening Ladysmith from the west, and a column reported to be coming through Zululand. mu9t also be reckoned with. In short, Gen Sir George Stuart White bae been unable to follow up his successes and is obliged to remain at Ladysmith without being able to restore railway communication, which is prob ably broken at other points beside Eiandslaagte. Thus the enemy, though their original plan, which is supposed to have been Col. Sobiel's, failed, may be fairly credited with having isolated Gen. Yule's brigade aod divided tbe British forces in Natal. Geo. Yule may find himself io a tight place, needing his experience in Indian and Burmese fighting to extri cate himself. It is quite evident that the war (ince has news wbioh has been with held from the public fend if the situa tion as here sketched is confirmed Boer divisions may be expected at other frontier points. It is regarded as not impossible that Geo. White may yet be compelled to concentrate ail the Natal forces at Ladysmith and await the arrival of thc ar wy corps A dispatob to The Times from Coles burg, Cape Colony, 6ays : "The situa tion today (Monday) is grave The Boers are 350 strong and wiil be reen forced from DriekoD. No defense is possible. The town guard will retire on Naauwpoort on the appearance of thc enemy. The Driekop force is estimated at 1,500. The report of tho fighting at Glencoe has been placarded ut- Bethe He, the frontier town oo the east Lon doo line, as a brilliant Boer -vic tory.'7 Gen. Joubet Advances on Dandee and British Fall Back. London, Oct. 23.-The parliamen I tary secretary of the war effice, Mr. George Wyndham, made a statement in the house of commons today say ing ; "Lord Woi8ley surr up the position in Natal early this morning j as follows : 'In the battle of Eiands ; laagte Oct. 21 two guns were cap tured from the Boers, who lost heavi ly A large column of the enemy ap peared, advancing from the Doith and weet on Gen. Yule, who conse quently had fallen back from Dundee and was concentrating at Glencoe Junction In this operation we gath ered in the wounded, who with med ical attendants were left at Dun dee " 'Gen. White was in position at Ladysmith and is being reenforced from Pietermaritzburg " 'The enemy appears to be in large numerical superiority.9 99 The Daily Telegraph had received the following from Ladysmith, dated Sunday at 2 10 p. m : ' The Boers, reported to the 9 OOO strong and under the command of Commandant Geo Joubert and Presi dent Kruger in person, are today again attacking Glencoe. *'Gen. Yule commanding our troops, has removed his camp back into a better defensive position." The Daily News publishes the fol lowing dispatch from Ladysmith, dated Sunday night A large force under Commandant Vogau open fire on Dundee yesterday. The firing was continued today. Tbe result is not known here " The Cotton Crop 18991900. New York, Oct 18.-On the 10th inst, the government at Washington made its October report with regard to the condition of the cotton crop, which it put at 62 4, the lowest, with one exception, on record This ex ception was in October, 1896, when the condition of the crop was esti mated at 60 7. In that season the total production was, approximately, 8,700,000 bales On the 11th, Mr. Henry M. Neill, of New Orleans, issued a circular in which he stated that the indications pointed to a crop of 11,000,000 bales Mathematically, the government'fig ures, taken io conjunction with the Government acreage, would indicate a crop of about 9,000,000 bales, and the fact that the receipts of cotton at the ports during the past week were the smallest for the corresponding week of any year since 188'? would seem to sustain the conclusion sug gested by the Government figures. Mr Neill and hi6 following, however, insist that the crop is a large oue. and that the southern farmers, in their efforts io force foreign spinners to pay high prices for the article, are holding it back With a view of ascertaining how far thia is the case we telegraphed to a large number of correspondents throughout the South oh the 12th inst , asking whether cotton was so being, held back That the crop is a small one seems to us absolutely certain, in view of the overwhelming evidence in that direction, and we are coming to feel that it is smaller than almost anyone has previously believed, or has the courage now to admit We shall from time to time take pleasure in submitting to you such j further information as we may obtain, and take this means to thank our correspondents for their promptness and courtesy in furnishing us with the information desired. Price, McCormick & Co. 1 A New Cotton Estimate. Hon O B Stevens, commissioner of agriculture, in his letter to the farmers of Georgia, issues a new esti mate of the current cotton crop, placing the figures at 9,000,000 balee The estimate issued by the state agricultural department some time ago foretold a 10,000,000 bale crop, but since then the weather conditions have been such as greatly to cut off the yield, and for sometime Com missioner Stevens has known that earlier estimates would have to be reduced, but had not fixed upon a figure until the October crop report of the Uuited States agricultural de partment was issued. Using his in formation ;and observation together with this official estimate from the national department, Commissioner Stevens now predicts a crop of 9, 000,000 bales, and also expresses the belief that cotton will sell between 8 and nine cents by January He does not advise farmers to hold their cotton nor does he advise them to eli it He recommends, of course, that they shall deal justly with the men who have advanced them money on their crops, and suggests a con suitation with them before determin ing whether to sell or tn>id their cot ton.-Augusta Chronicle. ----- - --- CUBAN OIL cures Cuts, Burns, Bruises, Rheuma tism and Sores.
