Oklahoma is "dry" State. San

whiskey; 81 boxes, COS cases, and 245
barrels of liquor" not otherwise
classified, and 1876 casks, or rs car

out by the Kansas City Monthly Jour
nal that at the prices obtaining in
Sapulpa this would have given the
sellers net profit Of $33.433 on the
whiskey, $14,994 on the liquor and
$47,52O on the beer" 1t was claimed
that the prosecuting attorney of coun-
ty had been negligent Of his duty. and
a motion was made to have him re-
moved from office. We do not know
what became of him. In support of
mis- argument that prohibition was
violated In Sapulpa, the lawyer who
appeared against the prosecuting at

at his place 100000 worth Of wet"
goods since Oklahoma became a pro-
hibltion state, and that he usually
had from 300 to 500 customers a day.
This Is interesting, but we do not see
that II proves anything except that
prohibition does not prohibit, and
that a well-regulated traffic would be
better than free whiskey.

DISTILLING COMPANY MAKES
CONSCIENCE MONEY" GIFT.
Louisville Concern, Once Represented
BY Farnum Agrees to Pay to the
Winding-Up Commission $40, 900,
Although the Commission Has no
Claim of Overcirarges Against the
Company.

Columbia, Sept. 27.-Following a
conference last week between the
winding-up commission of the old
State dispensary and the representa-
tives of the Bernheim Distilling Com
pany, of Louisville, KY, the company
today announced that it will refund
TO the State overcharges on liquor
amounting to $4,000. The company,
which was represented before the old
State board Of control by James s.
Farnum. acquitted Saturday of brib-
ing JOS. B. Wylie, then a member Of
the purchasing board, to give the con-
Germs represented by Farnum the
preference in purchasing liquors,
mits the overcharges and says it is
willing to make good this much Of
the States loss
The refund is voluntary on the part
OF the company. as the old State dis
pensary board OF control had effected
complete settlement with the con-
Germ before the winding-up commits
sion took charge of the affair of the
dispensary when the institution was
legislated out OF existence, and the
company never has put in a claim for
money due II for the liquors sold to
the dispensaly, as has been done by
many of the other houses, which had
been awarded contracts for liquors.
Attorney General Lyons was asked
about the matter tonight He said
that the facts in the case were that
the Bernheim Distilling Company has
offered to the dispensary commission
$4,000, and that the money is on de-
posit in the Louisville banks. The fact
that this company wished to turn over
this large sum Of money came over
the telephone today from the Atlanta
firm Of Anderson, Fielder, Rountree &
Wilson. 1t is understood. though not
obtained officially, that the Atlanta
firm secured the settlement, but it
also appears that the money comes
voluntarily. The matter is settled now
and the money belongs to the State
OF South Carolina.
The remarkable part Of the whole
transaction is that the Bernheim firm
had no claim against the State of
South Carolina
Thr money that the State owed this
frm mad been previously paid up and
the books were closed. TO offer $40
OOs, and then ttsurn the money over
Is clearly an admission that there
were overcharges.
