invitation will be accepted. Ches-

federate veterans, an undertake
ing far greater than the enter
tainment of the newspaper men
of South Carolina. No city in
the State, with the exception,
possibly, of Charleston and Co
lumbia, where the press meet
ings have often been held, can
offer greater inducements than
Chester as the place for the next
annual gathering of the editors.
Her hospitable and public spirited
people, fine climate, good water.
excellent railroad facilities, easy
accessibility from all parts of the
State, lovely homes, elegant
churches and splendid business
blocks, nice drives and walks,
close proximity to the Southern
Power Company's great plants,
numerous manufacturing and
other industrial enterprises, are
among the many attractions
which tend to make Chester an
ideal place for editors to meet
and enjoy themselves.

THE DISPENSARY INVESTIGA-
TION.
Liquor Concern Admits Paying
Graft. Commission Adjourns
Subject to Call of Chairman

Columbia Record. June 10: Col
Carroll. of Kentucky, in present
! ing what is known as the Fleisch-
mann group of whiskey claims
to the winding-up commission
today, frankly admitted that the
statesmen representing the houses
filing the claims paid graft" to
the dispensary directors accord
ing to the now famous Goodman
scale of prices at so much per
case and barrel.
"The houses are not in position
to say just exactly how much
was paid on all the accounts, said
Mr.. Carroll, "as the salesmen were
paid in currency and paid it outin
currency. Unfortunately, we are
not in position to deny that re-
bates were paid the States agents,
and while we can not calculate
this accurately, we are willing to
admit the basis of the scale ar
ranged with the board of direc-
tors by the salesmen. In fact,
l have talked with the witness
who will 90 on the stand and tes-
tify definitely as to these pay
ments and know these are the
things he will testify to.
This ad limited graft in the
Fleischmann group will amount
to about $4,000, which will be
deducted from these accounts
How much of the remainder will
be paid remains for the commits
sion to determine. Col. Fielder
said he would not ask for the
books at this time in view of the
showing the concerns made and
on account of the valuable dis
closures they had made.
Thus the group Of whiskev
houses which were first to rus b
to the federal courts for Justice
have now, following the decision
there against them, turned to the
States agents and given the
prose cution about the most val
liable evidence it has so far been
able to secure.
The committee, after and exc
cutlve session, adjourned to meet
again at the call of the chairman.
However, this practically closes
up this phase of the investiga-
ton, though several witnesses on
the criminal side are ye. to be
