TILLMAN ANSWERS TOWILL.
He Insists That Advertisemenls
for Bids Are Not
Sufficiently Definite.
Trenton, S. C.,Oct. '2, 10()">.
To the editor of the News aix
Courier: At the Katesburg nieotiiq.
Saturday, September 22, I mad?
the statement that the state hoarc
of. control of the dispensary hat
violated the law and boon derelict,
as they did not purchase liquor under
a competitive system of buying
as required by the statute. 1 further
declared that the system followed
made it possible to sell to the
state NX and XXX rye out of tlx
same barrel, that the board on its
advertisement did not describe what
X, XX or XXX rye meant, and
that the state was left at the mercy
of the bidders to deliver anything
in tlx- shape of whiskey with no
guarantee whatever as to the goods
mming up to the sample, for the
reason that the chemist himself declared
that he could detect adlllter
i i i . ?
.HI.Ml, 'Mil. UKII III' COUiU UOl tell
anything about tlx* grade or quality.
The Hon. .John Hell Towill very
excitedly declared that my statement
was "not so," and, according
to some of the newspaper reports,
slid positively "it was false." Oniti
a heated eolloqtioy ensued. Feeling
so sure of my ground, for I luu.,
read the advertisement the week hefore,
I had not armed myself with
the proof, hut I requested the reporter
for The State newspaper, in
whose columns I had read the advertisement,
to send a copy of it to
each of the Lexington and Saluda
papers with the request that they
publish it in order that the people
of the two counties represented at
the meeting might see for themselves
whether Mr. Towill had any
right to dispute my word as he did.
For some reason this has not been
done, and as the widest publicity of
veracity between Mr. Towill and
myself I ar-k you to publish as much
of the enclosed advertisements as I i
have marked in pencil, and it will
he seen that I had warrant for |
every word 1 said, and Mr. Towill
is convicted of dense ignorance of
what his own hoard is doing, to say .
the least of it.

There is absolutely no cheek to
guard against defrauding the state
except me honesty t) or the dealer
and 1 had a large whiskey distiller
tell me once that all men who
handled whiskey had to lie watched.
X in this advertisement is like X in
the algehra, an unknown quantity,
except as to the "proof" or strength
of the liquor and everyone familiar
with the business knows that this
is no criterion whatever of quality '
or value.

In the light of this advertisement,
I can assert that there is no competition
in quality, only competition
in price, and the spirit of the
law is not complied with at all. It
j may he said that the samples that
I accompany the bids are a check on
the bidder delivering something
else, hut this is an absurdity, as no
man living can tell whether two
samples of liquor are identical
simply by taste, or by other means
for that matter. Yet liquor is a
stAple article and the government's
bonded warehouses afford a check
and absolute protection against
fraud, and liquor can be described
in an advertisement as clearly as
bacon or corn. 1 do not know how
long this system of advertising has
been in vogue, but whoever invented
it has certainly put in the power of
liquor dealers to defraud the state
and foist off on the people immense
quantities of inferior and perhaps
lM>isonous stuff. No wonder there
is such an immense stock of "unsalable"
or dead stock whiskey on
hand.
