Because said purchases wore and are contrary to business methods and detrimental to the good manage- r men I of the dispensary, besides there absolutely was no demand for said goods. 'J. Because the State commissioners not only did not request the purchase ] of any ol said new snoods, but, upon ( I lie contrary, has repeatedly request- ] ed the said board not to burden him j with introductory goods. .1. Because the State dispensary is ^ not. in such a financial condition as to warrant the experiment of purchasing new, untried and fancy brands of liquors. 4. Because the representatives of the liquor houses selling said poods . were in the city of Columbia during the time of said purchases soliciting 1 orders, which is contrary to law and against, the resolutions of the State board of directors of the South Carolina dispensary.
