vestigation. When the present board
went into Office there was $259,000 old
stock on hand and the dispensary owed
100000. The board had not bought iq-
uor in months by reason of the enormous
purchases of the old board. Mr.. Boykin
and himself had thought seriously Of re-
signing but Mr.. Tatum begged him in
Gods name not to do it.
Tillman-"It. would have been better
for your reputation"
Resuming, Mr. Towll said he had never
asked member of the Legislature to vote
for him and had not spent dollar to be
elected. Members had asked him If he
didn't intend to solicit votes and he had
told them no. with $250,000 old stock
on hand We had to make some new pur-
chases to keep up with the trade, ," he said.
Tillmsn-"1f the old board unloaded
hot poker on your hands, make them e1-s
plain it."
Mr.. Towill said he was ready and tho
board was ready to 60 Before the investi-
eating committee but they had not been
asked.
II hold dear my good name," said Mr..
Towill, land would rather be esteemed
by Batesburg people than to have any
Office in the gift of the people. I have
not been debauched neither have been
bribed. am not one dollar richer and
the people of Batesburg know it."
In the invitation to Senator Tillman
the signature Of Col. John Bell Towill
was heavily underscored.
It isreported that after the meeting Sem
ator Tillman and Col. Towill got together
and that Senator Tillman explained that
he did nohmean to accuse Mr.. Towill OF
dishonesty! This no doubt restored the
status quo of the two men.

Led q Double Life.

Officer Martin, who had been on the
"force' for six months or more, was
different in some respects from many
Of his fellow policemen. he never
went into a saloon except in the per
Torrance Of his regular duty; never
swore, never idled away any time, and
never shirked. s"
Because Of these differences and be-
cause he was uncommunicative. and
was not in the usual sense Of the term
q good fellow" a suspicion that all
was not right and that he had some
thing to conceal became aroused, and
at last reached the chief Of police, who
determined to .interrogate him.
Accordingly the chief called him into
his private Office one morning.
"Oflcer Martin" he said, 80 far as
I know, you are one Of the best men
on the payroll, but there are rumors
that you are not altogether what you
seem to be, and that there is a chapter
in your life that none Of Us knows
anything about" ...

policeman, somewhat surprised, but
not at all abashed.

"Yes, STR"

TILLMAN AND TOWILL CLASH.
Warm Time At the Batesburs Dispensary Meet.
ins-TowiII Replies to Tiliman.

, BATEsBuRe, Sept. 2s.-At the political
barbecue here today which had been wide
ly advertised, to which Senator Tillman
and Hon. J. L. McLaurin had both been
invited, there was scene of the most ex.
citing nature that has taken place in
South Carolins's political history since
the stormy days of 1928. Hon. John
L. McLaurin did not have time to get
here after receiving his invitation, but
Senator Tillman was here and when he
and Col. John Bell Towill, member Of the
State board of control, clashed in debate
there was something doing and the opera
house crowded to its utmost capacity was
more than beehive of excitement.
In his speech in a roast of the manage.
ment of the dispensary and in direct
criticism of tie State board, Senator Till
man said, According to the published
advertisements Of the board, no bids for
less than $3.50 for one z corn whiskey
will be received" Wa, ..
John Bell Towill arose from his seat
and in clear voice said, Senator Till
man, that is false and you know that it is
not true" A scene of the widest confu-
sion ensued. Loud cheers burst out from
the audience and "Hurrah for Tillman'
was heard mixed in with the cheers for
Towill. The crowd made move toward
the stage, surging and cheering. Senator
Tillman stood as fixed as a marble statue
and when the crowd appeared to be get
ting unruly, asked several times, "Where
is the mayor9"H After some time quiet
was restored and then the Rev. C. NJ.
Padgett, well known minister ofsaluda
county, arose and questioned Senator TIL
man with regard to bis attack on the
preachers of the State. At this pande-
monium again broke loose.
Senator Tillman berated the newspa.
pers, naming the most Objectionable ones.
He cited the News and Courier and others
but was more particularly bitter when
naming the State than any other. He
said, THAT hell hound in Columbia who
edits the State has told enough lies on me
to furnish crossties to build railroad to
hell"
He paid his respects to McLaurin and
said that he considered it an insult to be
invited here and to have an invitation
extended to McLaurin at the same time.
At the conclusion of Senator Tillman's
speech Mr.. Efird arose and in few con.
ciliatory remarks declared that he be.
lieved Mr.. Towill's actions had been
straight and entirely honest and request
ed the audience to remain seated and give
Mr.. Towill hearing, after which he
urged them to 60 home and prepare fol
the fight.
