Ine letter from Attorney Stevenson
substantially stated that the funds
owed the Carolina Glass Company by
the various county dispensaries would
not be disturbed. This letter and the
contention that the Act of 1910 is un-
the Carolina Glass Company's attor-
neys in the injunction proceedings to
be heard on the 25th instant, before
the Supreme Court.
Around the clairi of the commission
against the Ric,iland Distilling Com
pany contres much interest. The COM
mission, through it's attorneys, are
claiming that this firm owes the State
of South Carolina between 5000, 600
and 100000. Col. Fielder today be-
fore the commission claimed that the
amounts were practically arrived at
by an examination Of the invoices and
comparing these with other bills
against outside purchasers just as was
done in the case of the other firms
against whom the commission entered
over judgments and deducted sums
for alleged ovcr-chargcs.
Col. Fielder made the statement
that the Richland Distiling Company
was organized for the purpose OF
plundcring the state" and that 1t sold
everything from "knOCkOut" gin to
it was established here for the dis
tilling of corn whiskcy.
Col. Fielder also made the statement

ton with the CORRESPONDENT for Th,,
News I'D Courier, it is learned thsr
some of the commissioners are not at
all pleased with the Carolina Glass
CosHps ny proposition.
Cht;. man Murray frankly stated
tna' he was not pleased with the sit
uHtion. He intimated that on account
OF the letter written by Attorney w
+. stevenson to the Carolina Glass
Company, the commission is bound to
take care of the Glass Company as to
the funds tied up in the county dis
pensarieS. Yes, We were talking over
some matters" said DR.. Murray. "We
are not satisfied with the Glass Com.
rany tus mess, at least, I am not. Mr..
Stevenson's letter looks to me as if it
is binding on U.s."
Mr.. A. n. Wood, of Gaffney, one
Of those who conferred today took
also, In effect, the position of Dr. Muir
ray. Mr.. Wood added that the COM
mission knew nothing Of the letter at
the time, that the matter was not
brought before the commission.
There is now before the Supreme
Court rule to show cause why the
commission shall not be enjoined
from taking for the over-judgment
the Carolina Glass Company, the
funds tied up in the county dispen-
saries to the amount Of about $4,000.
The following is, in part, the judg-
ment of the dispensary commission
against the Carolina Glass Company,
contained in the injunction proceed
ings papers:
THE commission finds that the to-
tai amount of sales, after making all
proper corrections therein, made by
the Carolina Glass Company during
the entire period of the transactions
with the State dispensary up to the
time it was abolished was s613,437.
OF this amount the sum Of s99,108
was for goods sold during the year
1905, and the short period during
1907 during which that dispensary
was conducted, so that the total sales
made by the Carolina Glass Company
during the years preceding the year
1906 aggregated $514,32990.
The commission finds that, begin
ming early in the year 1906, as the re-
suit Of a legislative investigation made
by committee appointed by the Gen.
eral Assembly of the State of South
Carolina and the resolutions adopted
by the General Assembly relating
especially to the contracts with the
Carolina Glass Company hereinbefore
referred to, the Carolina Glass Com
pany was forced to and did lower it's
bids to prices which, during that year
and the short period Of 1907, during
which the dispensary was operated,
were substantially in accord with the
fair and reasonable market price of
the goods sold during that period:
but the commission finds that during
the years preceding 1906 the over
charges made in excess Of the fair
and reasonable market price for the
goods sold was s51,432.99, which
should be and is hereby offset
against the claim in favor of said
Carolina Glass Company, to-wit, it's
claim for $23,O13.75, which, being de-
Quoted from the amount of said over
charges, the commission finds said
Carolina Glass Company to be indebt-
ed to the State of South Carolina in
the sum Of $2S,419.24

A LIGHT FRANCHISE

trio light company asked for new
franchise for twenty years and
since then the town council has
been meeting from week to week
considering the matter.
Councilman r. G.. Breckenridge
refuses to attend any CT these
meetings by reason Of his interests
in the light company.
AT the adjourned meeting Thurs
day night, DR.. Chapman, G. M.
Corlett, G. NJ. Corlett, l.. H.
Cheney and W. o. Station APP
peared before the board in favor
of granting the franchise asked for
by the light company.
The council are disposed to
grant 20-year franchise with
these conditions:
A II cent rate, 10 per cent of
net earnings to go to the town; at
the end of 10 years the town to
have option Of buying the plant
at the actual value Of the property,
aside from its franchise value; also
the right TO order the wires put
under ground, the poles to be
allowed east and west on the
county road Grand avenue) and
on 18th avenue, and in the alleys
on all north and south streets.
The council is disposed to act
with prudence and is getting data
from towns of this size as cri.
terion to 60 by.
The light company claims to
have invested about $4,000, all of
which above $4,000 seems to
have been earned by the plant.
Upon this basis renewal of the
charter for 20 years would make a
franchise easily worth $4,000 and
in case electricity is generated by
water power, the franchise will be
worth double that sum.
Charles Barnes is confident that
within five years n power plant
will be established that will do
away with coal.
Following are some of the rates
paid by outside towns: Glenwood,
10 and II cents; La Junta. 8 and
IL cents; TT. Morgan, ) and IL
cents; Sterling, s and l2A cents;
Gunnison, 10 cents: Delta, Is
cents.
The Fort Morgan plant is owned
by the city and nothing is allowed
rs interest on the Investment.
The tendency throughout the
country is toward municipal owner
ship upon the sound principle that
franchise values, created by the
people, should of right belong to
the people and not be given away
to corporations.
1t has been suggested that n
public meeting be called TO discuss
the franchise question. At such a
meeting about all the citizens
could do. would be to express their
views in general terms as they
have no data in regard to details.

TO SAVE MEXICO
Views Upon Condition in the South
ern Republic sy an Oklahoma
Traveller.
Editor The chieftain,
vlnita. Okla.


Dear Editor: So many desire in
formation regarding opportunities for
investments in Mexico. that what /
have learned BY my sojourn in the
republic may interest them. Northern
Mexico Is practically wilderness;
artesian wells may bring It under cult
ivation. but it win be a long dreary
wait. When you strike the rain belt
Of Mexico. the country and climate is
delightful. The western part OF the
state Of Vera Cruz and eastern Oaxaca
is the finest country have ever seen;
It is healthy lovely climate and
wonderfully fertile soil. Tuxtepec is
the center Of the banana. rubber.
sugar, tobacco and corn district.
Bananas is the most profitable crop
grown, they come into bearing in
about a year after being planted, and
yield a profit Of from $500 to $500 per
acre, and bananas require very little
care. Good land can be bought very
cheap, and you can get reliable infor-
nation regarding the lands in that To-
cality. BY addressing the Board Of
Trade. Tuxtepec, Mexico. Stock rails
ing Is also good business, as in
tropical Mexico you never have to
feed cattle there is always an abund-
ance Of pasture. You can buy land at
from SIS to $40 per acre, an acre of
which will keep COW fat the year
round, and in five years this land will
be worth from $50 to 500 an acre, for
Americans are coming in very fast,
and there is no better land any where.
People who live in Mexico a few
months could not be induced to per-
manently return to the states. II you
want to make money in land inyesti-
gate some OF the many opportunities
In Mexico before investing elsewhere.
BY addressing the board Of trade in
any of the Mexican towns. you win
get reliable information.
Very truly,
cHAs, FRANKLIN.
