questions led to other lines of in

his speech at Ponaria last summer
when he advised the people to

resign his seat in the senate if it
was not an honest report. He would

BEFORE COMMITTEE
ASKED TO BE PUT ON WITNESS STAND
DiSpensary Committee Met in Columbia
Yesterday AMI Adjourned Until
January 10,
Special to The Herald and News.

. Special to The Herald and News.
Columbia, December IS.-After
hearing a sworn statement from
Hon. Cole Blease, of Newberry, a
member of the committee, and au-
thor of the resolution passed by the
legislature which created it, the dis
pensary investigating committee,
which met in Columbia, at Wright's S
hotel. today at noon, adjourned to
meet in the senate chamber at 3
o'clock p. m. on January 10. At the
next meeting all the testimony nee
essarv for the report to be submit
ted to the legislature will be taken,
if. possible. If for any reason the
committee should not be able to Sc
cure all the other testimony at this
time. it will continue its sessions
during the session Of the legislature,
getting its report in shape before
the adjournment Of the general as
senbly.
AT the session this morning Mr..
Blease asked to be placed on the
witness stand, and was sworn by
Chairman J. T. Hay. Mr.. Blease
stated that he wanted to give his
statement made at Spartanburg, be-
fore the committee while it was IN
session there. in order that it might
get in the record, and that he want
ed also to add a few lines to it. Mr..
Blease's statement before the COM
rnittee at its meeting III Spartan
burg was published in full in The
Herald and News al, the time and
it is unnecessary to give more than
the substance of it here. It will be-
recalled that it was made while l..
E. Farley, a witness, was on the
stand. Mr.. Farley testified that he
had been assisting the marshall of
the committee in finding witnesses,
and that he had seen Mr.. 5. J..
Cathcart and asked him to appear
before the committee, and Mr..
Cathcart told him they couldn't
force him; (Cathcart) to appear
that Mr.. Toland had seen Mr..
Blease ''and | don't know whether
I will come or not" While Mr..
Farley was on the stand in Spar
tanburg Mr.. Blease arose and sta
ted that he had heard his name
brought into the matter for ma
licious political reasons until he was
tired of it, that Toland had had no
conversation at all with him about
the committee or its examinations,
and as to representing the Atlanta
Brewing and Ice company, he had
represented the company in one set
tlernent in Spartanburg, the matter
being purely business TRANSACTION
between the Atlanta Brewing COM
panv and John II. Morris, at that
time a beer dispenser in Spartan
burg, and that Mr.. Blease had been
brought into the matter in a purely
business way at the request of Mr..
Dunwoody, of the company, whom
he happened to meet in Spartan
burg while attending the May fes-
tiva1 there. That when this trans
action was over his connection with
the Atlanta Brewing company, eth
er as attorney, or otherwise, ceas-
ed. and that he had not since been

connected with the Atlanta Brew

Mr.. Blease repeated this Spar
tanbure statement in full before the
committee today, and stated fur
ther, adding to this statement, that
he did not now and had never rep
resented the Atlanta Brewing and
Ice company or Mr.. Dunwoody as
attorney or otherwise except in the
one settlement above referred to,
and that in that settlement he did
not mention the name of the COM
1nittee or any subdivision of it to
| Morris and did not know that any
member of the committee had ever
seen Morris, and he had never HIM
self seen him until that day. That
when Morris told him he had paid
| SIS to the dispensarF newspaper
fund, he said to him: Did you pay
that money with the promise of be-
ing reelected? Morris said, | did.
Mr.. Blease stated that he then told
Morris he thought he had been
treated damn dirty and that he
would demand his money back and
advised him to demand his money.
Mr.. Blease said that Morris told
him he didn't know how to get it,
and Mr.. Blease told him he would
write an order for him, and ne
wrote the note because he thought
that Morris should have his money
back; that he had never mentioned
the matter to any one who had the
money or was supposed to have the
money, and had never made any et-
fort to get the money for Morris.
AS to Toland he had not seen him
Or had any conversation with him in
the past four or five years except
the one referred to in the Spartan
burg statement, the full "details OF
which were given by Mr.. Blease to
the committee at that time. Mr..
Blease said that Toland's own ev1-
dence before the committee showed
that he did nothing to keep Toland
or any one else from appearing be-
fore the committee or to keep from
the committee anything that he
knew. The Spartanburg conversa-
ton with Toland referred to by Mr..
Blease as the only one he had had
with him in the past four or five
wears was when .Toland came to
him and told him if Charley Smith
would give him (Toland) one hum
dred dollars he wouldn't appear be-
fore the committee and Mr.. Blease
told Toland he didn't have anything
to do with Charley Smith and did
not want anything to do with To-
land. and walked into the hotel. /
Mr.. Blease said that he had
written Senator Hay about the
work of the committee, and had said
to him that he had heard complaint
of the way Lyon and Christensen
had been acting in securing testl-
nonv, and he didn't receive this
compliant from Morris or Toland
and he had made no complaint OF
the methods Of Lyon and Chris

over to them letters which he had
received in regard to their part OF |
the work, and one Of those letters

and Siff the Matter TO the Bottom.

sensation was developed at the ses-
sicn of the Methodist conference
this morning Immediately after
Bishop Gambler called the tWe1tl-
eth question to examine into the
character OF, ministers.
When the name of the Rev: C..
! w. Creighton, editor of the Chris
tan Appeal, published at Green
wood, was called, the presiding ell
der OF Cokesburv district arose and
preferred charges against the min
lister in the following words: "That
Mr.. Creighton. while editor OF a
paper. was guilty of utterlng state
nents false, slanderous and unbe-
coming a Christian minister Mr..
Creighton replied coolly as possible
under circumstances, saying: Il do
not know, Bishop, but I suppose
these charges grew out of the edlto-
rial management Of the Christian
Appeal of which I was editor and
owner for more than two years. l
l.
am a loyal Methodist and | ask
only for fairness, and | propose to
60 to the very bottom of the. charges
so that my course and conduct may
be Justly set forth. shall publish
every line of the testimony"
Mr.. Creighton spoke with deep,
suppressed emotion, but outwardly
was calm and cool. He perhaps
succeeded in purging his manner
of anything like defiance, but spoke
like a man who would see the mat
ter through to the finish. He has a
reputation of being hard fighter
for what he believes to be right. !
Mr.. Creighton was asked to leave
the church while the conference act
ed on his character. The Bishop
stated that the church was very
strict on such matters, and the con-
ference decided not to vote on char
acter.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the charge
preferred against Mr.. Creighton:
Revs. NJ. L. Carlisle, R. W.. Barber
and T. C. O'Dcl1. A record of their
finding will be made as soon as pos
sible.
A heated discussion of the case of
Rev. G. w. Creighton was preclp1-
tated when the committee through
the chairman, Rev. NJ. l.. Carlisle.
made his report.
The committee report was to the
effect that they were. unable to de-
eide the case and that more time
was needed than was available dur
ing the session of the conference
and recommended that the matter
be referred to the presiding elder
in charge of Mr.. Creighton during
the coming year.
Then the discussion was brought
on, when Rev. J. Walter Daniel
arose and said: ''Brethren, | am
here to appear for Mr.. Creighton. |

port and I do not understand how
the conference can adopt such. Not
