understood He said that whatever
expense he incurred in helping the
candidacy of Governor Hayward by
authority of Mr. Law, as the repre-
sentative OF Governor Hayward, was
returned to him, and that he felt
that whatever legitimate expense he
went to in this campaign was with
the approval of Governor Hayward
and Mr.. Law, the friend of Governor
Hayward in his campaign.
If Governor Hayward, with the ad-
vice of his friends, thought it judiclous
and prudent to expend limited sum
for legitimate campaign expenses,
that is his concern, bur he never att
thorized any approximation the sum
of $500 OF 500, which Mr.. Dillingham;
says he felt he had right to expend
in his enthusiasm to see Governor
Hayward gain the nomination. Sue
cessful campaigns these days require
money here and there for necessary
legitimate expenses.
Thus the Spartanburg end contlrl-
ues TO bring forth lively evidence.
Mr. zoe Huseman
was one of the treats left over from
the Spartanburg situation by Messrs.
Lyon and Christensen. He never
has been willing witness. He knows
much and is strong man. At Spar
tanburg he made an affidavit, and
therein, after tedious process, ad-
mitted that he had handed c. 0.
Smith, chairman of that famous board,
package from Toland, who was an
applicant for a beer dispensary. He
now changes that statement, but the
change is wonderful to relate. At.
Spartanburg Mr. Huseman swore that
he was told by C. O. Smith that it
would take $275 for him to get the
lob of beer dispenser, he was told, so
he swore, to deliver the package to
Smith and that he got it from Toland.
Today he swore that he got the
package from Toland at the request
of C.. O. Smith, and, while he did not
deliver it, that he left the package
and C.. 0. Smith in the same room
and that when he returned to the
room the package was not on his
desk, and that C. O. Smith had gone.
He, therefore, wished to be accurate
and could not say that he had de-
livered the package to c. 0. Smith, or
that he knew that he got it. He went
for the package, knew that it had
money in it, and left the package
and c. O. Smith in the same room
and upon returning found both had
departed.
He positively denied that he had
ever paid any one cent for his JOB
It was developed in the Spartanburg
situation that the Howard dispensary
was owned by another party, Smith
Thomson, and that Howard was on a
salary.
Compromising Shortages.
All through the investigation the
indifference and looseness OF push
ing collections of shortages, and that
failure to criminally prosecute tor
fraud on the part of dispensers has
been shown. Today Mr.. Z. A. Scar
son intelligently showed much more
of this condition, and how case after
case had been compromised, and how
case after case is still on the docket,
with no apparent effort to. get trial.
Mr.. Blease brought out with some
satisfaction that criminal and civil
case had been brought against Toland
for shortage in Spartanburg, and
that the case was still pending in the
civil court.
That Big Purchase Of Labels.
Mr.. CASTOR took flyer at the new
bottling system, but the committee
has not yet been able to get the bill
for the labels that were recently Or
dered and which have occas1oned
something of interest. The sample
labels were shown today and much
