QUITS In Trouble.
Columbia correspondence News and
Courier, Saturday: The state dispen-
sary supplies "booze," and 1t is pref
w good place for sensations these days.
1t was announced tonight by members
of the board of control that Mr.. D. A.
/ G. QUITS, for many years connected
with the dispensary and now the book
keeper for the commissioner, has been
suspended until the meeting of the
state board of control. The action
was taken by Chairman Miles, of the
state board of control, upon his arrival
in the city. The ins and outs OF the
matter cannot be exactly gotten at, rs
parties at interest seem to want to re-
serve their fire until the meeting Of
the state board of control. At the last
meeting of the board Messrs. Haselden
and Williams were appointed on
special committee to look into the
books of the contraband department
under the resolution of Mr.. HaseldeD.
For some reason Mr.. Williams did
not serve on the committee and
Mr.. Robinson was appointed instead.
They are both here now, and have
been for day or two. This is their
second trip in the quest of data, and
it was stated few days ago that the
data they wanted had not been
pTepdTeu. L Ills CouuiitiCO hoo NV
yet prepared its report, and it was
not upon anything that this sub
committee had up its sleeve that
Mr.. QUITS was suspended. Members
of the committee were seen and asked
whether they had made any partial or
complete report or whether their in
uuiry resulted in the sensation, and
they both said that they nave said
nothing about their report, and that
Mr.. Miles suspended Mr.. QUITS upon
his own responsibility and without ref.
erence to the investigation of the com
nittee, and moreover the members of
the committee would not say whether
they had or had not anything in their
evidence in any way involving Mr..
Ouzts's conduct. 1t is vaguely limited
that one of the results of the invesll-
CATION now going on will be the sus'
pension of other and high officers con.
nected with the dispensary, and that
things are not what they ought to be.
This is mere rumor and will not be
developed until the next meeting OF
the board, the first Monday in October.
Mr.. QUITS had a hearing on previous
occasion relative to the Blulhenthal 4
Bickert matter and then came out with
flying colors, and his friends now con-
tend that there is nothing in the sus,
pension this time and that Mr.. QUITS
will again be the victor. The public
is in absolute ignorance Of the facts,
and consequently must await report
on the whole matter. The special
committee on the contraband books
/ and records is not through with its
