Fifteen counties were added to the
dry list in South Carolina yesterday:
The counties are: Orangeburg, Sum-
ter, Calhoun, Dorchester, Abbeville,
Berkeley, Colleton, Fairfield, Bam-
berg, Barnwell, Hampton, Kershaw,
Lee, Lexington, Williamsburg. In sew
eral of the counties the stock left on
hand after the August election has
been disposed of, but there Will be q
small quantity in other counties to be
sold. Especially in Orangeburg Is the
stock large. In Sumter the open time
was just long enough to dispose OF the
stock. Several Of the county dispense
RES had closed down before hand, in
cluding the Lexington shop. In New
Brookland across the river from CO.
lumbia the dispensary burned. At
Holly Hill and st. stephens robberies
Of the shops caused an early closing
down. It Is coincidence that this
week also the state dispensary system
will see its finale" The dispensary
winding up commission returns here
Wednesday when the judgments will
be rendered.
Anderson Intelligencer: Proof as
positive as II can be made Is In pos
80 thn Tnf a
directors of the Bank Of Anderson did
accept $4,000, raised by friends or
Mr.. J. T. Holleman, the missing CASH
Ter, and that 1t was tacitly understood
when the money was accepted that the
defaulter would not be prosecuted, pro-
vided he remained out Of the state. In
effect the Intelligencer printed q story
to this account shortly after the bank
cashier had fed. In statement sent
to the other papers the bank officials
denied this rumor. Now this paper Is
in possession Of q statement from one
Of the directors Of the bank that the
was accepted and that so long
as Holleman stays out Of South Caro-
lima the bank officials will not bestir
themselves to apprehend him. In fact,
the bank has taken no active steps to-
wards the apprehension Of the missing
cashier. The grand jury returned an
indictment and Governor Ansel has Is
sued a reward Of 500 for the capture
of the fugitive, but the directors OF the
and didn't return but one-tenth OF 1t,
from which the cashier got
over $4,000, have done
nothing to place the man in the Gus
tody Of the officers. So far as we are
concerned 1t makes no difference II
Mr.. Holleman got one million dollars
but the example Is bad one and may
have a tendency to make others en-
trusted with money skip out with large
sums and rely upon getting free by
a small part Of the amount
they fllched. The principle OF the
thing is wrong. But the Intelligencer
prints this in justification Of itself. We
knew that we were right before and
we know 1t now. The money was made
up and accepted and we can prove 1t.
