COLUMBIA, S. c., May 6.-L. J. Will
lams. a member of the State Board OF
Control, swire out warrants tonight
against S. w. scruggs. chief clerk of the
dspensary, and Colonel John T. CASTOR,
ex-Commissioner of the Dispensary. This
is the result of Investigations by the
orney-General, the testimony show
ing that Scruggs had taken from
trunk, which was seized by constables,
four boxes Of cigars. and several cans
OF peaches. The trunk was the property
of William Beckroge, of Savannah who
went to Charleston about a month ago
to get married. and who carried a trunk
full of wine and whiskey, cigars canned
peaches. oranges, etc. United States
Judge Simonton declared the seizure lle-
gal. and when Beckroge demanded his
trunk and its contents, they were gone.
The trunk had been sold 10 Legislator
Garriss. The board decided that it was
a perfectly legitimate transaction. but
could not stand the idea of employees
appropriating the cigars and things u
their own use.
The warrants were not served tonight
but will be tomorrow morning. Scruggs
was dismissed as chief clerk tonight,
and w. II. Lawrence, an expert book
keeper was appointed in his place.
