County Attorney Givens and At
torney General Peterson have called
attention to these rumors and sus-
picions and County Attorney Givens
notified the court in his petition that
since Aliens plea of guilty the coun-
ty attorney has obtained evidence of
criminal nature warranting pre-
sentation to grand jury.
A week ago Axel Ramstedt, mem
Der of the state tax commission, who
was appointed by Governor Haines
to take charge of Aliens Office when
Allen was arrested and who was in
structed to make thorough inves-
tigation of that office, made a for
NAL written report to Governor
Haines. 1t was said this report
would be made public imm ediately,
but during the week it has become
known tt It powerful influence has
been brought to bear on the govern
or to suppress the report, and it is
stated the governor at one time an
nounced that he would not make it
public under any circumstances.
1t is not known, of course, what
the report contained, but it is said
that it contains list of the |. o. Us.
and other personal papers carried by
O. v. Allen in the cash drawer of the
office of state treasurer, and it is
said that portion of the pressure
upon Governor Haines to suppress
the report came from part of those
named in that list.
Attorney General Peterson in his
communication to County Attorney
Givens has called attention to suspi-
cions cast upon persons other than
Allen and declares that such persons
have right to have their names
cleared if they are innocent, while
the guilty ought to be punished.
County Attorney Givens has in
formed the court that he has secured
information tending to establish vic.
lation of criminal laws which should
be investigated by a grand jury.

Advertising a Benefit
To Our Community

Advertising has a remarkable
influence upon a community,
and there is a marked difference
between a town full of good ad-
,vertisers and a town where little
advertising is done, says an ex-
change. There is no question
that advertising keeps much
money in a town that would
otherwise go out OF it. 1t brings
money from the surrounding
towns. It stimulates competi-
ton, and competition is the life
of trade. 1t results in better
stores and better goods. II

s47, 900 for the establishment OF
a pellagra field hospital at Spar
tanburg. The bill has already
passed the house and will be-
come effective when the Presi-

According to Senator Smith;
the hospital is to be supported
entirely by the federal govern
ment and is to be under the dl-
rect supervision of the United
States public health service. The
institution is intended to accom-
modate pellegra patients notonly
in South Carolina, but other
nearby states. It is proposed,
also. that physicians shall be
kept at the hospital to study the
disease throughout the south
and, if possible, determine just
what causes the malady.
