BRIDES ARE OFFERED
SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATOR
MAKES THE CHARGE.
IT is A DISPENSARY SCANDAL.
LOCAL DISTILLERIEs THOUGHT TO
BE CONCERNED.

Representative w. T.. Pollock Made
the Statement Before the House
That Virtual Attempt TO Bribe
Him Had Been Made-BiII Was to
Increase Dispensary Profits and
Make Local DistiIIerien hid For
COntracts-was First Carried and
Then Defeated.
Columbia, S. c., Feb. 6.-w. P. Pol
lock, for eight years a member of the
House of Representatives and always
an enthusiastic supporter OF the dis
pensary system, furnished a sensation
to-day by declaring on the floor of the
House he had been approached with a
proposition intended as a bride.
There have been rumblings in the in
ternal workings of the dispensary for
some time, and an eruption has been
predicted by many persons. Two years
ago the dispensary law was changed
to permit whisky distilleries to be es-
tablished in this state and allowing the
dispensary to buy from them. Several
have been established, the largest be-
ing in Columbia. Its entire output of
corn whisky is taken by the state. The
extent of its business is indicated by
the fact that it is paying internal reve-
nue. tax at the rate of s1,5OO,OOO a year.
1t has been common talk that the dis
pensary directors owned a controlling
interest in the concern.
Advantage for Home Plants.
1t has developed in the last few days
that whisky from the local distillery
was not purchased as was liquor from
without the state. 1t made no bid at
so much per gallon, as was required by
outsiders, but sent up hundred or a
thousand barrels of liquor, as might be
ordered, and fixed its own price.
Representative Pollock introduced a
bill to increase the dispensary profits
from to II per cent, which would in
crease the public school fund by a
quarter of a million dollars. and also
providing that the liquor from local dis
tiIleries should be bought by bid, as
from other manufacturers. This bill
passed yesterday by ma jority of four.
To-day the bill was killed on its third
reading by a ma jority of twelve.
what Pollock Charged.
Mr.. Pollock, speaking against the
motion TO recommit the bill, said he had
been approached since yesterday by a
man who asked him if he wished te
make barrel OF money easily and hon
estly. He intirnated his Willingness
His visitor then told him to buy the
Camden distillery and get into the
swim. II was making money, he said
but the owner didn't know how to make
it a gold mine.
Representative Pollock protested that
he hadn't the money to make the pur-
chase. His visitor assured him that he
could obtain all the capital needed
without trouble. OF course. the distil-
lery could not be very profitable if his
bill passed, but that could be with
drawn.
Representative Pollock declined to
give the name of the man at this time,
but said another member of the House,
favoring his bill. had been approached
with an offer of $4,000 to buy an interest
in a distillery in the upper part of the
state.
The vote on the bill is supposed to
have been changed last night.
