THE NATIONAL pRoH1B1r1oNtsr

ton, became his special pet He par
doned one member of this force con-
demned for murder; before the year was
out he had called out the state militia,
seized the railroads, and put three coun-
ties under martial law, all to back up
his constables in riot which they had
started at Darlington.
The Tillman heelers and politicians
spared no means to set up dispensarles
in towns which, through moral convic
ton or hatred of Tillman, did not want
the institution. The town Of Laurens
is an example. By the law, the maj ority
dispensary before it could be estab
lished in any town or township. Lau
rens had about 100 freeholders, all dead
set in their opposition. A Tillmanite
who needed the job as dispensary clerk
bought an acre of abandoned swamp
land and parceled it out among seventy
one negroes and thirty whites all too
poor to have property of their own.
That created at one stroke 101 free
holders; their petition secured dis
pensary.
Practically every local dispenser of
the state was an unofficial agent of some
beer or whisky house-sometimes Of
many. The state board had long ago
turned the bidding system into farce;
they bought about what they chose and
from whom they chose. The local dis
pensers, specifying brands, ordered such
case goods" as they desired from the
state dispensary To influence these
Or1arc and tharahu cti11,,1ote trada t11a
distillers and wholesale liquor dealers
paid these unofficial agents with extra
bottles" Suppose, for example, that the
local dealer was friend and comforter
of Perdition Rye. In his orders for rye
whisky he always specified Perdition.
When the goods came he found, instead
Of the regular twelve bottles bought by
the state, some fourteen or fifteen. So
from each case he sold two or three
bottles over his counter and pocketed
the receipts. That was his commission.
Further than this, whisky houses eager
to break into the trade made many and
valuable presents to the dispensers as
prizes -such as suits of clothes, horses,
silk umbrellas, and, probably, whole
cases of fine liquor which could be
turned into cash. The scramble for this
graft was comic. Spartanburg had a
besotted old dispenser named Ferguson,
who got so hungry for complimentary
cases that he wrote all over the country
asking for then1-the testimony showed
that he mailed sixty such letters in one
day. A dispenser at Manning used to
wash off the labels from cheap whisky,
replace them with labels Of higher
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-04-09

grade, and sell them according to label.
The extra cases came through the ex-
press offices as mineral water"
The state board, in selling off the by
products of the business, had neglected
the wooden cases in which whisky is
shipped from the distillers. AS a pre-
MUM. the whisky firms paid the dis
pensers 25 cents apiece for these empty
boxes-more than they were worth new.
Many local dispensaries sold 300 cases
of any given brand in quarter-and rs
cents 300 times is SIS. Along in 1905
this small piece of graft was criticized.
The state board of directors took notice
and passed a rule that no whisky house
should buy back cases from a dispenser
Mind, they did not forbid the dispensers
to sell them. In one of the letters con-
hscated from the desk of a dispenser,
Bluthenthal & Bickart, Georgia liquor
firm, wrote: "The state board has in
Dictated that some one else should buy
these cases; so make shipments to x.
Y. Jones, Atlanta" And x. Y. Jones
received heavy consignments to the end
The beer dispensers had entirely ig-
nored the law providing that there
should be no drinking on the premises.
Most of them had an adjoining room,
where the purchasers could find glasses,
tables, and corkscrews Others had a
corkscreW a crown opener, and an ar
ray of glasses at the back door. The
dispenser had his motive for this breach
for thus he got the bottles.
The state constabulary, organized to
enforce this law, was recruited on the
plan of the New York police department
in ante-Lexow days. You paid your
money and you got your job. One Nc
Gowan holder of a pull which ran
straight to the state house at Columbia,
was general agent for constabulary po-
sitions and promotions. The evidence
showed that he refused no reasonable
offer. Usually he demanded from $40
to $25 down, balance upon delivery.
Certain politicians traficked also in
county dispensary and board of control
jobs. In Spartanburg, which the sub
committee used more as type case
than as an awful example, one c. O.
Smith, agent for Fleischmann & Com
pany, Cincinnati liquor dealers, sold the
jobs. B. L. Toland, wanted the posi-
ton of whisky dispenser, gave him $275,
marked down from $500, and a gold
watch. Afterward To1and wanted the
more profitable position of beer dis
penser. "All right" said Smith, $500"
1t was a matter of unofficial belief that
in certain counties the board of control
and the dispensers practically dictated
the nomination Of senator's and assem-
blymen.
