Correction in I1llman Article.

The following correction Of the ar
icle on Senator Tillman by James
Creelman is sent out by Pearson's
Magazine:
"It was not General Earle who
asked the question as to how old
senator Tillman was when the war
closed, and why he was not in the
Confederate army. It was Judge A.
C. HasAell, who, after Senator Till
man received the nomination over
Earle was put forward as an inde-
pendent, and, Of course. badly beaten.
General Earle and Senator Tillman,
though opposing candidates in 1890,
became good friends, and he was aft
eryard elecled to the senate in 1896,
and died within two months after he
was sworn in

Mr.. Lyon said that this bill was from
bona fde firm and of a, bona fide
purchase Of five cases, at 1925 case
less than it was bought for by The dis
pensary. "Old Saratoga is regarded
as a standard brand, and Mr.. Lyon
remarked that it was needless to null
tiply such evidence.
Several tslegrams, were presented
from G. H. Charles, clerk asking ].
w. Kelley & Co. to, ship liquor with
out certificates This Mr.. Lyon said,
was in violation of the law of the
State.
1t was just before the committee
adjourned for today that Mr.. Weston
made his appeal for the officers of the
Carolina Glass Company. He said all
he wanted was TO have the evidence
printed in full, so that the people
might judge for themselves and see
that the stockholders of the Carolina
Glass Company had done absolutely
nothing wrong. He thought the COM
nittee was made up Of honest men
and wovld not for worlds injure the
precious reputation Of any one.
Mr.. Lyon said he thought the re-
quest perfectly reasonable and
all he wanted was the right
to cross-examine Mr.. Weston
said he had Mr.. Ben Taylor
and Mr.. Norton present and would
have every officer presene in ten min
utes if the committee would only hear
them now. Members Of the committee
said they had to leave here this af-
noon, so it was decided to hear the
Carolina Glass Company side later on.
There were a number Of represen-
tatives of liquor houses, whose claims
have been held up for the present to
await the verdict as to their claims,
but the subcommittee had not filed
its report and nothing was done to-
day on this subject. Mr.. Spiyey want
ed the committee to act at once and
settle the issue.-News and Courier.

DOUBLE PAY CHARGE.

From Columbia Record.
On the 5th Of June The Record con-
tained local article in which the
statement was made that Record
man had heard that all the members
of the dispensary investigating com
mittee except one had drawn double
per diem during the session OF the
general assembly the first part of
this year.
The article then proceeded to set
forth the efforts Of The Record man
to ascertain if there were any truth
in that report.
After publication Of the article Of
which the above is a summary, a gen.
tleman who is on very friendly terms
with some members Of the investigat-
ing committee gave The Record man
tip. He said Mr.. Blease was not
the only member Of the committee
who had not taken double pay; that
there was another, who would not
feel like rushing into print to defend
himself, as that might be construed
as reflection by him upon those
members Of the committee that had
helped themselves to double pay. I'M
mediately upon receipt Of this infor-
nation, copies of the following let
ter were mailed to Messrs. CASTOR.
Fraser, Lyon, Christensen and Spiyey:
Columbia, S. c., June 9, 1906.
"Dear Sir: 1t has been suggested
TO me that I may have done some
members Of the dispensary investigat-
ing committee an injustice. I can
assure you that nothing vas further
from my intention. have no malice
toward the committee and I feel sure
that no member Of the committee
does or will object to turning full light
on all of his public acts. They are
legitimately a subject Of criticism. L
was so positively informed that all Of
the members of the committee except
one had drawn double pay during the
session of the legislature for days
when the committee as we'll as the
legislature met, and this information
was backed up by Mr.. Blease's state
ment, that I thought I had done all
that fair play required when I re-
quested the chairman Of your COM
nittee in writing and in person for
statement. Since thinging it over I see
wherein injustice may have been done
by my method Of PROCEDURE. and am
today writing Identical letters to the
five members Of the committee to
whom I did not write in the first in
stance, so as to give each an oppor-
tunity to answer for himself this ques-
ton:
Did you or did you not take per
diem both as committeeman and as
a legislator for days during the last
session when both your committee
and the general assembly held meet
ings?
II consider this a legitimate ques-
tion which I. as a citizen. as we'll |
as a newspaper man, am entitled to
an answer
eff through misinformation, or the
strange reluctance Of your chairman |
to answer proper question, have
done. you an injustice, I will be more |
than willing to make the amplest
apology
Mr. CASTOR replied as follows:

Dear Sir: Replying to your letter
Of the 9Th instant, did not take
double per diem during the session OF
the legislature and investigating COM
mittee while they were in session at
the same time.
yours truly,

Mr.. Fraser replied as follows:
: Dear Sir: Your favor Of the 9tka
instant was received this morning. In
reply I would say soon after Our con-
mittee organized for work I received
letter from a d7spensary ohcia.
whom 1 had known pleasantly lor
some years asking me for some infor~
nation as to my personal connection
with certain reports that were in cir
culation. I wrote him that without
any desire to be discourteous to hIm
personally must decline to answer
any questions. That had been ap-
pointed by the general assembly and
must report my official acts to the
body which appointed me. This rule
I have observed consistently and have
made no public denial Of any criti~
cism that has been made, and if I
am to suffer for it, I must suffer. Ev-
cry vote and act is the subject of adj
verse criticism. can not explain or
deny it all, so I have concluded not to
begin. When the work of the COM
mittee is done will be able to an
swer for my acts, but until that time
I do not feel that should defend my
self.
yours very truly,
'T. B. Fraser
Messrs Christensen and Spivey
have so far not made any reply to
the letter Of inquiry.
The letter to Mr.. Fraser Lyon was
mailed to him at Abbeville and for~s
warded by some one there to y. Fra

pledge and announce himself for lieu

views should run. Mr.. Smith yester-

heard that Mr.. Featherstone was not
in the race. Mr.. Smith is president
Of the Bank of Timmonsville, is pres
ident Of the State Baptist convention
and vice president of the Southern
Baptist convention and man of force
and character. He would have made
e fine run had he remained in the
campaign, but he said yesterday thai
he cares nothing for the office and
had. consented to run merely in the
interests OF a great cause, but as there
was no candidate for governor on his
platform he would not run himself
for the second place.
The race for the attorney general
will be next in interest to that for
ternoon, placing his check and
pledge in the hands of a friend who
filed it with Chairman Jones today
less than h1e,f an hour before the list
was closed. Five minutes later a
friertd filed Mr.. Ragsdale's pledge
with his check. In letter to his
frier.d Mr.. Ragsdale said that he
would not oppose Mr.. Youmans, but
if any other man entered the race to
file his pledge. He asked his friend
not to enter him unless other oppo-
sition developed to Mr.. Youmans.

Congress Learns Whisky Sell
eFs' SeCret----POisOnOuS
Drinks at $40 a Barrel.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The sem
sational charge made by Representa-
tive Hall on the floor of the house to
the effect that thousands of barrels OF
Whistles, gins, brandies and cordials
consumed in New York every year
were made from chemicals has been
thoroughly ~corroborated.
1T is stated that a barrel of whisky
which retails by the drink in a first
class cafe for more than $500 a be
manufactured for less than $50 and
that strong essences are the potent fac
tors in the making. Of a. great percent
age of all bar products. In forty gall
Ions of creme de menthes which 200
men would not ordinarily consume In
twenty-four hours, there are less than
eight ounces of genuine extract, while
half a pint of brandy essence Is sufii-
cient for a full barrel of cognac.
No distillation process is used in the
manufacture of these chemical liquors,
and after they have stood for three
hours they IRE ready for the market.
Drugs supply a bead which makes
whisky look as if 1t were aged by
years of repose in wood, while colors
IRE added that render it almost impos-
sible to detect the fraud.
In New York alone there are more
than fifteen firms supplying these
chemicals. They all act within the let
ter of the law, but the saloon men who
make this ''m~oonshinev are violating
every revenue act. That the business
is carried on to an enormous extent
was evinced after an inquiry of less
than twenty minutes.

WAS SENT To-
WORKHOUSE
Toledo Ice Trust Heads Convict
ed of COnspiracy--Fined Five
Thousands Dollars.

TOLEDO, o., June 26.-For the first
time in the history OF America the nc
tive heads of a criminal trust have
been sent to Jail on the specific charge
of entering into a conspiracy for the re
straint of trade and maintenance Of
exorbitant prices.
Five ice dealers of this city, mem
bers of the combine, were sentenced
to one year in the workhouse, $4,000
fine and costs each.
The drastic punishment created a
sensation throughout northern Ohio,
where nearly every county prosecutor
is engaged in a battle with some trust.
1t is the first time in the history Of
Ohio that the active leaders of a com-
bine have been convicted under the
antitrust laws.
The result will be far reaching and
means much more than the dissolution
of Toledo's little ice trust. Indict-
ements against the bridge trust are
pending, as are also custer suits
against the Standard Oil company, the
milk trust, coal combine and others.
The men sentenced are Joseph A.
! Miller, Toledo Ice and Coal company;
Roland A. BeaES, Hygeia Ice company;
Reuben G. Lennon, Hygeia Ice COM
pany; Henry Breining, Baw Beese
Lake Ice company, and Peter II. Wat
tiers, Michigan Lake Ice company.
The defendant dealers were SELL
fenced to che Toledo city workhouse,
but are for the present held in the
county Jail pending the drafting of
legal commitment papers. They We're
hustled out of the courtroom and to
Jail without even being given time to
go to their homes or arrange business
affairs. 7
The sentenced ice men are among
the best known and most prominent
in business and social circles in the
city.

GAMBLING AT BAY0NNE
CARNIVAL CONDEMNED.

BAYONNE, June 26.-fhe letter
which was received by the Bayonne
Hospital carnival committee on Sat
urday last has caused a mild sensa-
ton here, and a number of priests
who attended the fair say there was
no gambling at the place, notwith-
standing the fact that the letter
sent to the committee denouncing
gambling during the fair was signed
by ten ministers.
Father Egan, of st. Mary's, says
that the persons who signed the let
ter were either imposed upon by some
one, or acted in a spirit of meanness.
or else they did not see things as
they were at the fair.
Father Mccormack, of st. Vincent
de Paul's, says that the pastors of the
churches who signed the letter are
lacking in learning, knowledge, char
ity and truthfulness. He says the
members of the committee which got
up the fair for the hospital are among
the best people in the city, and they
would not have tolerated gambling ir
any form, and he is surprised that
ministers of the gospel should make
such statements.
