information that the editor Of the Item

that offers but two alternatlves-star-

of The Item wanted public job he
would as quickly accept one in connec-

believe that the dispensary can as

DISPENSARY AFFAIRS.
Paying the Suspended Whiskey Bills.
Tatum Says the Dispensary is Sol
vent.

Columbia, July 12.=Liquor claims
are still being ordered paid, repudiated
or suspended, pending investigation,
by the board of directors OF the State
dispensary, in session here, and bills
considerably in excess Of s25O,O0o
have been ordered paid.
Mr.. NJ. H. Mobley, clerk of the
board, said this morning that he
would not give out the names OF the
firms whose bills had been ordered
paid, nor the amounts Of their claims
until the whole batch Of claims had
been passe d upon by the board. Some
of the claims have been paid prompt
Iy and others have been paid in part,
the unpaid items being under investl-
cation still, but at the present meet
ing the board has ordered paid only
the bills Of those companies repre-
sented in person or by counsel at its
meetings. AS his reason for not CIV
ing out the payees and amounts Of the
bills as they are ordered paid, M.
Mobley said that an unjust impression
would be created with regard to
houses whose claims have not been
paid. Doubtless in most cases their
bills are all right, but they have not
been personally pressed before, the
board, and have rot, therefore, been
considered yet at all. He will be ready
to hand copies of the entire list to the
newspaper men shortly.
Says Dispensary is Solvent.
In reply to illusions to the financial
condition Of the dispensary, Mr.. W. O.
Tatum, State dispensary commission
er, today forwarded to the editors Of
the State and The News and Courier
a card in the following terms:
"To the Editor: Please give this
card as prominent place as you have
the charges OF insolvency Of the dis
pensary.
.I wish to say to you and to the
public that we have nothing to hide,
and that I am getting the figures to-
gether that I believe will convince any
reasonable, unprejudiced mind that
the dispensary is in better condition
than it has ever been. I wish to make
this statement full and therefore will
have to ask for time as it is no small
lob to get even a synopsis Of the fig
ures in a three million dollar business.

SHIP MANY NEGROES.

New Orleans, July 15.-The work
of a remarkable city house cleaning
party, which last night placed l50 ne

and shipped them out of the town and

the city marshal of Jennings, La, /,
and who subsequently died in jail at
Lake Charles from wounds received
while attempting to avoid arrest.
Shortly before midnight the negro
tenderloir. known as the "hole in the
wall,'' was invaded by several hun

to the annual State encampment. The
dispatch says:
''House after house was visited and

To the Voters Of Sumter County:
I beg to call the attention Of the
voters Of Sumter county to my card
among the list Of candidates for the
Office Of County Superintendent Of Ed
ucation in the approaching primary
election. I have placed it there by
the advice of my friends in the said
county where I have always lived and
by those in the city Of Sumter where
1905. and I beg to say to those friends
and the public that if they do not see
it is because I am honorably bound to
Messrs. Parrott and Stuckey to look
after their share crops, etc., on their
place where I now live and cannot,
therefore, absent myself, as much as
I desire to meet the voters Of Sumter
county before the coming primary.
But I refer those who do not know me
to the banks and business men Of
sumter with who I deal to ascertain
whatsoever they desire to know con-
cerning my personality. wish the
Office for the honor it confers, and So
l;cit the suffrage of my friends and
the voters of Sumter county for the
same. Feeling that I am capable Of
filing it and pledging myself to do so
with all my integrity if elected. 1 am

The State does not agree with Mr..

towards MI Hubert G. Osteen, the

pondent Whatever Mr.. Osteen's pref
erence may be in the race for COVER

him are sure, that he did not con-
sciously color his dispatches in favor
of or against any candidate. While it is
possible that, without any intention,
Mr.. Osteens bent of mind may have
influenced his report, it is equally pos
sib)e that Mr.. Brunson, knowing Mr..
osteen's attitude, may with sincerity
have taken for granted that his report
could not be fair and SO have judged
that it was not fair. Neither Mr.. os-

Duly approaching the generous sup

Card From Mr. Joel E. Brunson.

Card From MI. JOei r.. 6IuASoh.
To the Editor of the News and Cou-
rier:
Your fairness in dealing with me in
the past gives me to know that it was
not your purpose to misrepresent the
campaign meeting in Sumter, yet the
report by MT. II. G. Osteec is so mis-
leading that I ask space to say a few
words by way Of correction.
Mr.. Osteen admits that "Joel q.
Brunson was received with much ap-
plause," and had he looked over the
audience he could have seen that the
cheering came from the sober, Chris
tian people Of the county, and not a
word of it from the noisy dispensary
supporters. It came from men who
will vote as they cheer.
When Mr.. osteen says Mr.. Jones
drew a. comparison s'unfavorable to
Mr.. Brunson'' in the matter Of voting
the dispensary out OF Sumter county,
he should have known that Mr.. Jones
was talking to an audience that knew
his statements had no foundation in
facts: for Mr.. Brunson had signed the
petition to hold the election and had
offered the committee in charge of the
work to speak at any time and place
to aid in the removal Of the dispen-
sary.
know that Mr.. Osteen edits little
dispensary sheet in our city and is
wild in his support Of Mr.. Manning,
but I gave him credit for more sense
than to write Of Mr.. Manning: "His
reception demonstrated what was al
ready we'll known, that. the votes that
other candidates receive in Sumter
will be few and far between" 1t is
slander Of the Christion element of
the county to claim their support for
Mr.. Manning, or any other man, wno
STANDS as Lne representative VI 'Ai0 AA4
uor business in its vilest form-the

hope that Mr.. Osteen will give this
place in the columns Of the Item
and if he wishes to oppose my election
that he cease to pose as friend and
make his fight against me in an open,
manly way. Joel E. Brunson.

The most charitable view to take
Of the above TRADE is that Mr.. Brun-
sons political fanaticism has tempo
rarily unbalanced his judgment, and
we are willing to give him the benefit
of that construction.
Mr.. Brunson's effusion needs no re-
ply at our hands, except to resent MT
Brunson's mean insinuation that we
have posed as his political friend
We have endeavored to treat him
with the courtesy due a gentleman
when we have business or other deal
ings with him, but he knows, and II
his political, aspirations have not rob-
bed him Of all candor, he will admit
that we have never given him the least
excuse to suppose that we would sup
port him in the race for governor
He knows, as everybody else knows,
that we have supported Mr.. Manning
from the outset, and have done SO
openly and without attempt at eva
sion or concealment. AS to SANDER
inc the Christian element Of this COM
munity: The primary will prove no"
Sumter county will vote, and on the
morning after Mr.. Brunson will know
more than he does now. Mr.. Brun-
sons card proves conclusively that WE
are correct in our belief that, not
witnstanding the fact that Mr.. Brun-
son is a consistent and Jealous prom
bitionist and an excellent citizen II
private life, he is altogether unhttec
for the office to which he asplres
lacking as he so palpably does the
broadmindedness, fairness and good
judgment that the chief magistrate o!
State should possess.

Mr.. Manning is making his cam
paign for governor on a broad and
conservative platform, which we take
for granted the editor of the News
and Courier has read, although so far
as we are. advised the platform has
never been published in the columns
of that paper This platform closely
states that on the dispensaIy issue Mr..
Manning stands on the Raysor-Man-
ming bill and outlines the important
provisions of that bill Among the
reforms in dispensary management
contemplated by the bill was the I'M
mediate adjustment Of the State
Board Of Directors and places the re-
spensibility for the management Of the
State dispensary IN the hands Of the
commissioners under the direction OF
the governor and supervision Of a leg
islative committee. Mr.. Manning
nor no ether man Of his standing
Board OF Directors under the present
law which the opponents Of the dis
Densarv refused to repeal when they
had the opportunity Of so doing by the
enactment of Raysor-Manning bill,
which remedied the defects in the
law and would have gone far toward
wiping out graft by ridding the system
Of the s400-a-year directors and
hedging the purchase power about p7
sraft-proof regulations. The oppo-
nents Of the dispensary system plainly
indicated their belief that the best way
TO kill the dispensary was TO perml'
4be mana cement to remain unreform-
ed and as corrupt as possible. MI

does seek to purify the olspensars
