Tn writing to said persons, firms
and corporations, l notified them in
substance that | had been retained by
your board for the purpose of ascer-
tanning and advising you with refer
ence to the legality of the alleged
sales Of liquors by them, respectively,
to the state dispensary, specifying in
my letter the kind and price of the
liquor and date Of invoice and ship
mcnt thereof. I also notified them
that | was unable to obtain suffi-
cient data and information among the
records Of the state dispensary show
ing that they had valid contracts Of
sale with the former board. Of direc-
tors, or that they were authorized to
make the said shil.aents of liquor. I
therefore requested them to- furnish
me with such information as might be
III their possession relating to the al
legged sales and shipments, so that I
might be enabled to advise you in re-
ference thereto, and assuring each Of
said persons, firms or corporations
that your board simply desired to act
within the law, and to do justice to
all parties concerned. I further mott
fled them that, unless they held valid
contracts of sale, il would become my
duty to advise you to reject the said
shipments of liquor, and that, until
the question Of the legality Of the
alleged sales Of such liquor could be
finally determined, the said liquors
were subject to their orders at the
state dispcnsary, Columbia, S. C.
Refused to Declare Sales Void.
AS you are aware, quite a number
of the parties, or their representa-
tives, appeared before the board at
a meeting held on the 18th of April,
1906, Ito which meeting I had invited
them to appear in person or by rep
resentative) and voluntarily agreed to
take back the shipments Of liquor
made by them respectively. The fol-
lowing is a list Of the persons, firms
or corporations 50 agreeing to take
back the liquors shipped by them,
together with the invoice price there
Of, to wit:

The other parties, or their rcprcs-
entatives, who were present Mt said
meeting, claimed that they had made
legal contracts of sale with the state
dispensary, declined, for that reason,
to take back their liquors, and insist
ell upon your board retaining and
paying for the same. Among such
parties were these who had made the
largest shipments to the state dis
pcnsary to wit:
Anchor Distilling company, 225
barrels, $20,320.20; Flcischman & Co..
520 barrels, SGT, ,oS1t00; New York
and Kentucky company, 1927 barrels
$43.355.2S; Ullmnn & Co., IS barrels
$S,o74.59.
1t appears that other parties also
had made sundry shipments Of small
lcr amounts, which had been partly
used or sold by the state dspcnsary
III the regular course Of its business,
and ii is unnecessary to give tabula-
ted statecmnt thereof, inasmuch as
their shipments, however small, ex-
