TURN TO MUDDLE.
Lock Broken When Dispenser South.
all Refuses to Give up Key and Ex-
animation of Books Shows Shortage.

Aiken, June 7.-Another chapter
has been added to the dispensary agi-
tation in Aiken.
After having notified the dispensary
board that he would surrender the
keys to Aiken dispensary No. 1, which
was the only one of the dispensaries
Of the county that had not been open
ed for business. T.. j. Southall, for
mer dispenser, refused again last week
to give up. The board met and de-
cided to give Mr.. Southall another
chance to transfer the keys and the
stock formerly in his control to the
board. A messenger was sent to him
in Augusta Friday with the statement
from the board that unless he sur
rendered that afternoon it would be
necessary to break open the doors.
Every other means having been ex-
hausted. Mr.. SOuthall sending no reply
and declining to send the keys, II. p.
Dyches. chairman of the board, upon
the advice Of the boards attorney,
broke the lock on the door, and in
the presence Of two disinterested wit
nesses and former employe Of the
dispensary under Mr.. Southall, the
bookkeeper and his assistant took
stock.
When the stock was checked up
and the books gone over, Mr.. Southail
was found to be short in his cash $2,-
1880. as stated by the chairman Of
the board. who Immediately notified
the dispensary auditor, l.. s. Built
man, who arrived in Aiken Saturday
Mr.. Bultman rechecked the stock and
books and found the shortage, as stat
ed, to be correct.
Mr.. Southal was notified of the
shortage and, upon the advice Of the
auditor. given until IL o'clock today to
make it good. Not until after noon
today, when Mr.. Southall had failed
to pay any attention to the notifica-
ton of the board, was announcement
of the shortage made. The bonding
company which bonded Mr.. Southall
was then notified by wire.
Mr.. Southall was the first Of the
former dispensers in Aiken county to
refuse to turn over the keys and to
surrender the stock under his control
when his successor appeared armed
with commission from the governor.
1t was this action that lead Mayor
Moseley to order the Aiken dispen-
saries closed prior to the order issued
by the governor closing the several
dispensaries throughout the county.
The board had exhausted every
means Of securing a peaceable sur
render Of the Aiken dispensary and
Mr.. Southall was given an opportu-
nifty to have representative present
when he was checked up but failed to
avail himself of the opportunity.

Events during the day about the
state department seemed to foreshad-
ow a sensational climax. The situa-

at night was a strained one. When
Secretary Bryan reached his office
early in the morning, he wore a trou-

were waiting outside the secretary's
door. 1t was five minutes after the
cabinet hour and Mr.. Bryan did not

For GOOD ROADS.

Motor license fees paid TO the state
of California for that portion of the
year 1915 TO Aug. 1. amounted To
$1.SS2.992. all of which is expended on
The state roads.
DO you wonder then that California
has the greatest system of paved high
ways on the American continent?
Motoring in California is a constant
delight because of these roads.
Notwithstanding the enormous total.
license fees are quite moderate in that
state, ranging from $3.50 for under
twenty horsepower TO a maximum OF
S15 for sixty and over. BEGINNING
Aug 1. license fees are cut in half
for the balance OF the year.
Transcontinental travel is rapidly
increasing. 1t is estimated that there
are now enroute from the Atlantic TO
the Pacific coast more than 1000 mo-
tor cars. If all the states would fol-
low the example of California in ex-
pending their road funds under the
supervision of a capable road commits
sion. il would increase still more.

the main reason why the curfew law
is an elastic measure enforced when
it seems necessary for the prevention
of abuses.
