DISPENSARY AFFAIRS.
Board Replies to Remarks of Hon.
S. G. Mayfield.

Editor of The Bamberg Herald:
Replying to the Hon. S. G. Mayfield's
criticism of the affairs of the Bam-
berg County dispensary on May 4th,
we wish to submit the following facts
which we wish you to publish:
1st. The affairs of the dispensary
are, to our minds. being conducted in
a proper and honest way. and as to
the Office, We submit copy of a
letter from the State dispensary
auditor which speaks for itself and
which we ask you to publish.
2nd. Regards the prices We are
paying for whiskies, we respectfully
refer you to the purchases of our
board and the purchases of Rich
land and all other counties of the
State that handle whiskey, and by
comparing you will find that we are
paying exactly the same for Saratoga
whiskey as all other counties of the
State. We say Saratoga for the rea-
son that this was the whiskey re-
ferTed to as being bought by US at
$500 per case more than an indi-
vidual could buy for. Now as to
this we will say, on January 5th we
awarded to Rosskam Gerstley Co. 25
cases Saratoga whiskey and having
none in stock clerk was instructed
to order same, which he did on the
6th;i 5 cases to each of dispensar-
les, Bamberg, Denmark, Olar, and
Ehrhardt. About this time we were
informed by Mr.. B. B. Leitzsey, State
or county constable, that the COVER
nor had instructed him to see that
the Business Mems Club purchased
their supplies from the county dis
pensary, and about January goth,
after the shipment Of Saratoga had
come in, Mr. Blume, manager of the
club at that time, came to our office
and asked for some Saratoga whiskey
which we had and offered him. When
the clerk told him what the price
was he, Mr.. Blume, said that he
could purchase the same brand Of
goods for $500 per case less. The
clerk asked Mr.. Blume if he would
show him a bill showing price on
Saratoga whiskey at less price than
we were buying it for and he did so.
The clerk then did not order an
other case of Saratoga whiskey after
the order on January 9Th, and later
called to the attention of the board
the above facts. You will see there
fore that from January 9Th to April
9Th, 1914, we only ordered 20 cases.
On April 9Th we awarded 25 cases
subject to increase or decrease and
ordered on April 18th, 1914, fifteen
cases, five cases toseach of three dis
pensaries. We did this in order that
we could get some for analysis TO
compare with some of the goods
bought at $500 per case less, which
we had gotten for this purpose.
In the morning May 5th, 1914, at
our regular meeting about 9 o'clock,
among other things, the clerk called
to our attention the matter referred
to above, of $500 per case being
paid more for Saratoga whjskey than
others could buy for, and we instruct
him to write Rosskam Gerstley Co. a
letter, which we submit 4 copy for
publication, and their answer, also
letter to a chemist in Columbia and
his reply. Originals of these are at
our Office and will be gladly shown
anyone interested. Respectfully sub
mitted,
J. NJ. GRIMES, Chairman.

DENY LOOTlNG BY GERMANS

London, Oct. In a dispatch from

grams received there from Berlin deny
Indignantly the reported destruction
by German troops OF the property OF
VI. Poincare. president of France, at
Ribecourt. They declare this property
was the center of a heavy battle near
Verdun and that ii was bombarded by
French artillery. The charges of the
Countess de Bayes that the German
crown prince looted her chateau also
are ridiculed. 1t is declared that the
crown prince never was in this man
sion.

Night Combats Have Be-
come important Element
in France Fighting.
SCIENCE is IGNORED
General of Opposing Army Com
ments on Remarkable Meth
odS Employed by Germans.

Paris, Oct. 7.-Captive balloons to
discover and observe movements of
the allies and powerful searchlights to
point out positions and to blind the
defense during night attacks are being
used by the Germans in the great bat
tie which is still without result. Mill
taTy science is frequently lost sight
of and the contest becomes merely
hurting of forces against one another.
Night combats have become an i'm
port element in the action. They are
frequently forced by the Germans and
as often repulsed by the allies. They
are telling on the stamina of the troops
on each side, many of whom are al
ready worn out.
General Cherfils, commenting on the
situation, declares the material or
ganization of the enemy really is pow
erful; that all the French wounded are
unanimous in saying the Germans have
had excellent practical instruction and
that from a technical point of view
they fight with remarkable methods.
Know How to Be Patient.
The Germans know, he says, how to
be patient and wait. They make them
selves invisible. Their machine guns
are very numerous, often grouped.
They have one company machine gun
per regiment. They are always hid
den, often set at the edge of woods,
seeking to have oblique fire. The Ger
mans first line of march, he says, is
covered with sheaves of corn or is
we'll concealed otherwise.
Nearly all French officers who lost their
lives were killed by these firers, who
are always hidden. The infantry ad-
vances only when supported by artil-
lery If their technical supremacy is
manifest their moral inferiority, he
says, stands out. They fight only two
or four against one and nearly always
flee in front of the bayonet.
