ter two Of his statement. It deals
with Chairman Hasolden almost en-
tirely, and QUITS says there will bo
other chapters to follow for several
days He starts out by saying:
"D. Sachs & Sons, Of Louisville,
Ky, first had John Il. Gaston, OK
acting State commissioner, as State
striker, striking tho board for orders
for them. He was paid for one or
two purposes, and their regular drum
mer, Mickle, discharged CASTOR dur
ing the meeting of tho board. Gas
ton told mo that he immediately left
Micklo's room in the Joromo hotel
and wont to tho board room and
called Mr.. Cooper, member of the
State board, out, and told him Of his
treatment. Cooper went back into
the board room and had the board to
countermand tho order for twenty
five barrels of whiskcy which had
been given to d. Sachs e. Sons.
The next deal Sachs & Sons or
their drummer made with local strik-
ers was with young Evans, cousin
of j. Dudley Haseldon, thon chair
man of the board. This young man
was scarcely 2l ears old and had
never sold whiskey before and knows
just about as much about travelling
for wholesale house as tho average
country youth, and they know moth
ing about trade and commerce. Ho
could never have gotten job if he
had not been related to the chairman.
The strength of his pull may bo
judged by the amount of his and
Gaston's orders which amount to
$1G,5SO.0S. The amount may be
larger than this because all the in
voices may not have boon posted
when this amount was taken from
the books"
QUITS says liquors were ordered
from Sachs as needed. Then he
takes up Friedman, Keller e. Co.,
who fought the dispensary law and
had an opposition store and shows
how they worked through Matthias,
of Charleston, and then employed
w. e. Blue, another cousin of Hasel-
don. Mr.. Blue succeeded in getting
some good orders and the amount of
his pull and that of Matthias with j.
Dudley Haselden, chairman, advo-
eating orders for him, amounts to
S10,410 in orders given.
After the board passed resolutions
excluding local strikers, Blue was
turned down by Friedman, Keller e.
Co, and J. Dudley Haselden decided
that the liquor was not as good as it
was while Blue was with them. At
least he gave up purchasing from
Friedman, Keller & Co. and they
have gotten no more orders since.
"Just after the death Of Governor
Ellerbe and about the time Boyd
Evans was leaving his office Il drum
mer came to Columbia to a meeting
of the board. Sprinkler represented
the Reidsville, N. c., Liquor COM
pany and was corralled at the first
meeting he attended by w. Boyd
Evans, who got job with him, and
upon Sprinkler's going before the
board with Evans and telling them
he had employed Evans to travel
North and South Carolina an ordor
was given the Reidsville Liquor COM
pany. They got such largo ortlor
that they had some difficulty in fill
ing it did not fill it in time to oct
another at the next board meeting
but have been given orders at every
meeting since. If Evans over tray
eled further for thom than from
Marion here to Columbia it has never
been heard of. Boyd Evans's pull
amounts to $8,86GO8 in orders given,
besides the September purchases. So
much for taking care Of cousins
"Now, what about yourself2 j.
Dudley Haselden, did you ever mako
this remark, that you had liquidated
$4,000 in debts since you had been
a member of the board9 Your salary,
according to the published report of
the board, was not $1,000. Besides
these three cousin liquor drummers,
