SOUTH CAROLINA LOOT.
Millions Have Beea Lost According ts Attorney.

MilIlons Have Been Lost According te < Attorney.
 Atlanta Special
 South Carolina has been defrauded out of several millions of dollars in the last five years, owing to the cor rupt way in which the State dispen- sary was managed" said Attorney Cliff ford Anderson of Atlanta. who has been employed by South Carolina as special counsel to represents the State in the prosecution of whisky dealers and State officials accused of grating.
 "After South Carolina decided to close the disDensarys continued Col. Anderson, whisky dealers turned up with claims of about $1.000,000 against the State. and investigation has shown that these claims are largely graft. which was to be divided by whisky houses and officials who managed the State dispenaary.

This claim amounts to y3S,- o00 we got M A Goodman, repre- senting theewlhislxy house. on the stand. We tangled Goodman and produced proofs that instead of the State being indebted to the whisky house in the sum mentioned. the State had a set off of about t30.0o0 in graft against Ine Wn1Aky mousse.
 '-rhe plan was that instead of buying from the lowest bidder. the dispensary directors would buy from this house and pay more for their whisky than was charged by the company to the trade. This extra sum was then paid back to dispensary directors and was charged up to the State
 'sThe evidence showed that this plan had been worked for the past six or seven years and six dispensary direc- tors were found to be involved. They were L ". Hoykin, John B Towin. a man named Eysns. John Black, Raw linson and Wiley.
 Goodman was arrested and warrants were issued for the dispensary direc- tors.
 There were other claims held against the State by whisky dealers. but when they were called there was not whisky house represented in the State. They had scattered like covey of birds. Before we are through . good many politicians in South Care. lima will be ruined"

 Time of Peace.
 A special to The New York Herald from washington says:
 Under instructions from President Roosevelt, Secretary of War Taft to. day issued orders for the meeting of a board of officers immediately at West Point to examine the first class in the United States Military Acad- emy, so that all those who are quali- fed may immediately become officers in the army, without waiting for the regular period of graduation.
 This order, which had been known in advance in army circles for the last month, follows out the general plan of the government to make war preparations in time of peace. There has never been a period since the civil war when there was such activity in the army and in the navy.
 Powder mills belonging to the gov ernment in Delaware will start opera tions Monday next, and will run at their full capacity for 8 considerable period. The so-called powder trust, of which Senator Dupont is credited with being the head. has received B larger order than was given during the Spanish war.
 The President has publicly com mended Representative Hobson's bill approprIating half a billion dollars for a naval increase. Work on all the new nren-of-war is being pressed to It's utmost. and the War Department Is rushing the plan to make the mili- tia of various States obtain service for the coast defense.
 The attempt Is being made to rush through Congress two-score oils tend ing either to promote the navy or the military services, or to fortify sections of the Western coast. sH
