every one seemed to be delighted
with himself and the world around.
The local alumni not only furnish

also furnished the eloquence for the
occasion. Congressman Lever was
unavoidably absent which left only
three regular toasts. That Of Capt.

in the early history Of the college

i Sellers, S. c.,
-. June 11,1906.
Hon. John w. Earhardt, Newberry,
S. c..
Dear Sir:-I have just read your
statement in the newspapers in re-
ference to the testimony of Mr.. Davis
before the investigating committee,
wherein it was alleged that Hub
Evans had said the present delega-
ton from Newberry was the cheap
est lot he ever bought, &C., and T am
sure that no one who knows your
position on all the proposed legisla-
ton on the dispensary situation last
winter, as l do, would for one mom-
ent believe any such dirty insinua-
ton could have any reference to you
or your colleague Mr.. Taylor. You
and Mr.. Taylor were as consistent
and as firm in your opposition to the
state dispensary monstrosity as l and
the seventy other members who
sought so diligently to rid the state
of this admitted evil. Like myself,
you voted against the Manning Ray
sor bill, for the reason that it was a
weak and transparent attempt to
continue and perpetuate this same
evil. With me, you both voted for
the Morgan bill, with every "i' dot
ted and every ct" crossed.
While all this proposed legislation
was going through the house it was
we'll known that Mr.. Evans was an
open and avowed candidate for chair
man of the very board we were do
ing our very best to destory. Were
Morgan, OTIS, Nash, Sanders, Brown
ing, Ashley, Rucker, Whaley, Ardrey,
Dabbs, Foster, Nicholson and all the
rest of us Thought" tooq Such an
insinuation is absurd and ridiculous
on it's face.
You may have made a mistake in
voting for Mr.. Evans, but [ have no
doubt you had satisfactory and hon
orable reasons for so doing. He was
your own county man, and we do not
know what local personal reasons
may have actuated you. I may have
made mistake in voting for Mr..
Rawlinson-time alone can tell-any
way, we We're shut, up to choice be-
tween these two.
have not yet received the jour-
nal Of the house and therefore can
not speak definitely as to the posi-
ton Of Mr.. Higgins; but 7 am clear
as to you and Mr.. Taylor, and no one
who knows you both as I do would
believe for one moment, that you
could be bought by Mr.. Evans or
any one else. With best wishes, 1
am,
Yours truly,

g.. WRITES A LETTER
TELLS THE COMMITTEE HE
WANTES TO APPEAR.
His defense Not Ready Yet-Mr.
Towill Is in the Same Position as
Mr.. Boykin. -

The members of the former State
board Of directors of the dispensary
have not appeared before the investi-
eating committee in answer to the in
vitation Of the committee, says. The
State. Mr.. l.. w. Boykin was present
yesterday, but did not go on the
stand. Col. Jno. Bell Towill was pres
ent the day that Mr.. c.. G. Davis Of
Newberry testified to the matters
which have excited so much comment.
Mr.. H. H. Evans has taken appar-
emily little interest in the, investiga-
tion, as he has not been in Columbia
recently. No return was made by
him yesterday through his attorneys.
At the meeting of the committee
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. R. H.
Welch of the law firm Of Bellinger
& Welch appeared and presented a
return for Mr.. Boykin and a separate
return for Mr.. Towill. The two are
identical in language, but are not
signed jointly. Following is copy of
one of the returns:
Columbia, S. c., June 1G, 1906.
Hon. j. T. Hay, chairman, and other
members of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the affairs
of the State dispensary.
Gentlemen: In response to your in
vitation, if 1 so chose, to appear be-
fore your committee today for the
purpose of making any statement
that [ desire to make concerning my
former connection with the State
dispensary I beg to say that 1 pre-
fer that your investigation should
proceed uninfluenced by any state
ment thatI might make. The more
thorough and searching the investi-
CATION is made, the more certain will
the correctness of my conduct be de-
monstrated. I am not only anxious
to see the investigation proceed in
the most rigid manner but 1 should
be much disappointed if it did not do
so. Indeed, humiliating as it might
be. | challenge the closest scrutiny
of my conduct before any tribunal
before which it can be made.
have NO fear that those who
know me will believe that l have done
anything that has been either illegal
or immoral. Instances in which hon
orable men might differ with me in
Judgment may, and perhaps will be
discovered. Wrong cannot be, for it
does not exist. While / have keenly
felt the injustice and the cruelty Of
some of the suggestions which have
been made in relation to my former
connection with the dispensary,
am confident that when the scrutiny
has been made complete that even
| those who. do not know me will reach
like conclusion with those who do.
At future day and when it can
have no influence upon the action Of
your committee it is my purpose to
send you a written statement cover
ing the matters that / deem of con-
sequence, which shall ask you to re-
gard as part of this communication
and which I shall ask you to file as n
part Of your report.
Very respectfully,
l.. w. Boykin.

Very respectfully,
l.. w. Boykin.

re W. IVY
After presenting the communica-
ton, Mr.. Welch asked the committee
not to adjourn sine die until these
gentlemen named could have an OPP
portunity to prepare defense. As
for himself he would have a great
deal to do on account Of the illness
Of Mr.. Bellinger, but he made this
appeal to the committee in good
faith not to adjourn until his clients
could have hearing.
The committee did not signify it's
intentions at the time. This will all
be settled today perhaps, when the
sub committee will present written
report of it's visit to Louisville and
Cincinnati and will make certain re-
concentrations to the main commit
tee as to the payment Of claims held
up by the committee. 1t is said that
some of these liquor houses actually
told the committee that they would
rather lose $4,000 or $4,000 due
them by the dispensary than to have
