Private Affairs a7a Barred /.

The dispensary investigating COM
committee yesterday overruled the
motion of the subcommittee which
had been examining into the fnan-
cial standing Of members of the
State board of directors
Il is said that Mr. 81 Fl. Evans,
the chairman of the board, had an
nounced to bis friends that he was
willing to be Investigated, that be
would go on the stand at any time,
but he protested firmly against the
committee going into what he con-
sidered to be his private affairs.
Evidently the majority of the COM
mittee felt the same way about 1t,
aud She tense situation was relieved
when Senator j. T. Hay, the chair.
man, made the announcement.
Mr. Lyon said, Mr.. Chairman, in
the course of our inquiries as your
subcommittee, we have been endeav-
oring to find out the amount Of
property owned by the various mem
bers Of the board of dispensary di-
rectors. We have witnesses here to
60 into that matter and to show to
this committee just what We have
discovered along that line, and we
would ask the committee to give US
an indication as to It's pleasure in re-
gard TO this matter. The witnesses
are here and We are ready to submit
their testimony.
Upon considering the probable
evidence and upon reconsideriDg the
scope Of the inquiry condded to the
committee and the duty imposed
upon them, said Chairman Hay, the
committee have come to the conclu-
sion, while endorsing in every respect
what has been done by Mr.. Cdristen-
sen and Mr.. Lyons sub committee,
that the committee will not go into
anything Of private nature; nothing
going into the personal affairs would
be,feasible or desirable, and, there.
fore, that the committee will not
pursue that. line Of inquiry.
Mr.. Lyoa--We would like for the
committee to pass upon the question
whether gifts from liquor houses are
snch personal matters as this COM
mite should Tot go into.
Chairman Ha5-No, sir: I would
not think so. That would be pub
JIG matter in the scope of the COM
mittee, because that would be some
thing in connection with the inquiry.

Senator Talbert in the Senate.

Senator Talbart in the Senate.
The first gun fired in the Senate
in the dispenssry battle was last
Wednesday when Senator Talbert,
from Edge6eld, opened with q with
ering rain of shell, leaving nothing
masked
One point of opposition was that
The people never wanted the dispen-
sary. They voted for prohibition
but the general assembly rammed it
down their throats. Other points
were the corruptions and the tempta-
tions which it produced. Senator
Talbert said the system was viola
ton of the s'lead US not into tempta-
tion," of the Lords Prayer" Still
another of the speakers arguments
was his opposition to the legalized
sale Of liquor by any process.
The senator said the promise that
had been made that the dispensary
was step to prohibition was false
and he believed it was intended to be
false. Another false promise was
that the profits of the business were
not needed or desired.
He also denounced the support of
the schools snd thus the education
of children by the school fund. Be-
sides, Liquor selling is wrong in the
eyes of God, and Senator Talbert in
scashing terms fayed those members
OF the general assembly who were
not actuated by Christian principles.
At the close of his speech he made
an appeal that the senate would in
voting on the bills and any others on
the dispenaary be guided by con-
science and not by a leader. ''Don't
let the crack of the whip of that
statesman at Washington drive you.
If it beats me today I want Ben Till
man to know that there's one mau in
South Carolina that's not afraid of
him. And that's another reason I
want the dispensary to 60, for he will
go with it," he shouted.
In conclusion, he expressed faith
in the standards of the prohibition :
ists and said that he was confident
that their hopes would one day be
realized.
One of bis bills provided for the
abolition of the dispensary and its
winding up by commission. An
other was the old "Childs'' prohibi-
tion bill, and another proposed an
amendment to the constitution so as
to cut out any, clauses establishing
such an institution and nailed up the
holes where the clauses would be
ripped out.
Senator Talbert said, Il think the
senate's going to kill my billie, but I
want to put it on record"
Senator Brice wanted ell the bills
TO 60 over until all dispensary meas.
ures should come up together, con-
sequently all were killed, even the
dispensary opponents voting against
them.

A member Of congress noted for his

cost the government In the last fifteen
years more than $15,0 00. 900.
Recently a subcommittee from the
house committee on appropriations
made an umoficial inspection of the
printing office, and the things they saw
there point unerringly to the conclu-
sion that there has for years been o
criminal waste of the public money in
printing Office management. In an
unoccupied room there was found
stored away discarded type worth

this type was in perfect condition. In
another room was found more than
l65, 900 pounds of new type, bought ten
years ago and never taken out OF the
boxes in which il was delivered. Dis
carded machinery worth thousands OF
dollars and in perfect condition was
found in rooms devoted to old junk.
