WHAT M1xsoN SAYS.
Columbia, 3. O., Aug. ., 1896.
To the Editor of The State:
In your issue of today you have a
card signed Mill Creek Distilling Go I,
Geo. Hubbell, secretary, in which he
concludes as follows: "If Commits
sioner Mixson says ever offered him,
directly or indirectly, a dollar in any
shape VIII atever he states what is ab-
solutely false"
have been drawn into this matter
very reluctantly and had hoped that
the matter had blown over and !
would not be required to say anything,
but as man who is jealous of his hon
or and one who is not afraid to resent
an insult, I am forced to make the
following statement OF facts:
Ihaye been connected with the dis
pensary since the first conception of
the scheme and was in charge under
Senator Tillman's direction when the
building was being put in fix for bot
tling, Mr.. Traxler, then the COM
missioner, being at his home
