Columbia, April 13: What is tc
be done in the dispensary matter! Is
the question most frequently asked In
Columbia just nov. Although the de-
cision Of the supreme court or the
United States was handed down one
week ago, there has been no announce
ment of any new move in the situa-
ton. although it is generally under
stood that the work of completing the
settlement Of the claims against the
state will soon be taken up. The At
lanta papers announced on Thursday
that Col. Fielder had left for Cincinnati
ON Tuesday and that he would come
here from that city. Attorney Genera
LYON has been in Atlanta since the
first of the week, and during his stay
in the Georgia capital, he was In con-
sultation with the members OF the nrif
of Anderson, Fielder, Rountree & WI
son. who were retained as counsel II
the dispensary litigation; Attorne!
General Lyon will probably return Il
the city the first part Of the week. Mr.
LYON has not yet expressed himselr OF
the victory for the state, but he hat
stated all along that the decision woult
be for South Carolina when the high
est court of the land reached con
clusion. 1t can be safely statet
that the first work, after Governor
Ansel has appointed the two new mem
bers Of the dispensary winding VI
commission, will be the completion O.
the work Of adjudicating the claims
of the whisky houses. When this Il
done it is expected that the state O.
South Carolina will be saved from
$500. 900 of the 100000 now on depos
it's in banks and in the state treasury
Mr.. w. F. Stevenson's statement in
dicates that the commission will NEE
soon and all claimants who have no
done so will be given an opportunit!
to produce their books and have thei
claims adjusted. When the settle
ment Of the claims is over, the mex
step will be awaited with much inter
est by the people of this state. VIVA
will be the nature of the trial of tn
