questioned by Dillipgham, he told
how he had lest his j@b. They had
been on a long raid and he got too
much whiskey and expressed bis mind
about the other men going off and
leaving him on watch.
WHAT DILLINGHAM; SAYS.
MI. Dillingham;, on the other side,
admitted that Mr.. FAINT had paid hin
$50, that Mr.. Seay had paid him $40,
and that he had collected other money,
but that it was no part Of any expense
in connection with the nomination Of
Governor Hey ward and that GoVerno,
Heyward had absolutely nothing to dc
with 1t. BE insisted that be was paid
this money because In helping Fant
and Seay and others get their jobs be
had to lose time from his business and
make visits TO Columbia and that 1t
wss reccmpenSe for his time and
work, and that those who paid him
understood it that way, OF he tried to
make it 50 understood.
he said that whatever expense be
Incurred in helping the candidacy OF
Governor Hayward by authority OF
Mr.. Law, as the representative OF
Governor Hayward, was returned to
MIN, and that be felt that whatever
legitimate expense he went to In this
was with the approval OF
Governor Heyward and Mr.. Law, the
friend O; Governor Hayward in bis
II Governor Hayward, with the ad.
vice OF his friends, thought it judicious
and prudent to expend limited sum
for legitimate campaign expenses, that
is his concern, but he never authorized
any approximation to the sum OF $500
OF 800, which Mr.. Dillingham; says he
felt be had z right to expend In bis
to see Governor Heywad
gain the nomination. Successful cam.
paigns these days require money here
and there for necessary legitimate ex'
penSes.
GUNTER DENIES IT.
Mr.. Gutter is sick with typhoid
fever at the hospital and with his clean
record as man and officer it is unfor-
uu1ate that bis name should have been
mixed up with this scandal on mere
hearsay. Mr.. W. q. Townsend, the
attorney general, was asked
for statement in behalf Of Mr.. Gun
ter and gave the following interview
which be had had with Mr. Gunter.
"The hearsaY statement Of the wit
ness FAINT was shown Attorney Gener-
al Gunter at tie Columbia hospital
evening; and be said it was
UNANIMOUSLY false that be had asked,
received, expected or wanted any COM
pensation OF reward for aiding any
body any where to obtain position or
office connected with the dispensary or
any other governmental agency. Why
his name should be connected with
such statements he cannot conceive.
That he has never impOrtuned any OF
the governors for such favors, as will
be borne out by the governors them
selves. No truthful man can be found
who will say that he ever paid him
anything. OF course, his uame may
have been hawked without his knowl-
edge by designing persons: If so such
person should, and must be, held &C.
countable, and, be intends to use every
effort to find out If such is the case,
just as soon as be is aole to leaYe the
hospital"
JUDGE PRINCES VERSION.
Judge Prince says that no papers or
evidence and no specification Of
charges were ever fled with him by
Mr.. FAINT or by any one else. He had
never heard OF any being filed with
Gov. McSHeeney or wish Senator Till
man. Judge Prince says that SO far
as he can remember, Mr.. Fant never
mentioned to him In any way the
management OF conduct Of the con-
stabulary force at Spartanburg but
that in a casual conversation Mr..
FAINT did once state that some consta-
bIes, perhaps a chief constable at
Greenv!lle, whose name escaped the
judges memory, had been guilty OF
some misconduct. The judge advised
Mr Fant to get up afidaVits about the
matter and file them with the COVER
nor. He afterwards heard no more Of
the matter.
CAPT. MoeoWAN's REPLY.
A dispatch from Spartanourg to
The State says Capt. MCGOWAN, who
has been out Of town sine Wednes-
day afternoon, Oh arriving went to
Chief Fsnt and asked the names OF

bles. Chief FAINT replied that it was
