Columbia, April 17.-Whether it is because they are afraid of the credit of the dispensary or because they ap preciate the justice of the demand for the return of the liquors bought by the old board of control, or that they expect to do other business with the new board or that tiey are thankful to quit doing business with the dis pensary did not appear on the face of the offers today. The fact, how ever, remains that the board, and per haps others, were surprised to hear the willingness with which the liquor firms agreed to take back their liquor under the demand of the new board that they receive the liquor for which they say there is no sale, or show, valid and proper contracts. The new board says there is fully $400,000 worth of high-priced and unsalable liquor on hand, bought by the old board, for which they have no use. Mr. J. E. McDonald, representing the new board, has written a number of firms that the new board wishes to return this liquor, but if the state is required to retain the liquor it is all well and good. Today a number of the firms, through their counsel> asked that they might have the liquor returned. Some ~of them said they wished to have the freight money, but Catherwood seem ea willing to pay his own freight, from what -is reported - of the board meeting. Mr. G. H. Charles, the former clerk of the old board of directors, made a statement to the board today in which he said that there was no absolute sys tem of ordering liquor, and that no special form of contract-was used in ordering liquor. The old board, he said, ordered considerable liquor in November, 1904; for the ChAistmas traffic. ''In that year,'' Mr. Charles ex plained, ''thie investigating commit tee had the books so much and inter fered in other ways so often that it was impossible to do bysiness regular ly. That was one reason why I pull ed out. On December 11, last, the board, at my request, adopted a reso lution not allowing any go,ods to come in 'except on :the approval of the com missioner, he being in better position to gauge the needs of the dispen sary." -Mr. Charles went on to explain the houses were not notified of the esti mates made up, as these were not con sidered contracts, but merely agree ments to buy as the dispensary needed except4in the case of certan $2, $2.50 and $3 goods, which Chairman Evans afterward informe'd him- were bought outright for the neiv bottling system. He said that this great blanket or der was made by Messrs. Evans and Towill, while Director Boykin was in the north. No decision was reached about the legality of the purchases. In fact, At torney McDonald has not yet made his report, and has evidently not reached a conclusion himself. The meeting was adjourned at 2:30 until tomorrow in order to allow for the examination of other' kitnesses. No member of the old board was present at the hearing today, although the members had been formally in vited. Mr. Towill was the only mem ber of the old board in the city, and he was not at the state dispensary during the day. A great many liquor firms and their salesmen and lawyers were present. Among those represented were: S. Grabfelder & Co., of Louisville, who was also represented by the vice pres ident of the compan'y, Mr. Gratz; Jack Cranston and H. W. Catherwood, of H. & H. W. Catherwood; M. A. Goodman, Ullman & Co.; I. Trager, of I. Trager & Co., of Cincinnati; Cook & Bernheimer; J. S. Farnum; W. Boyd Evans and W. C. Johnson; Charles Smith, of the Fleishmann company, and Mr. Royer, of the Bell Roy Distilling company. The board adopted the following f uperi erate.

That the clerk notify Commissioner Tatum that the repre sentatives of the following houses ap peared before the board and volun tarily offered to take back any whis key ordered from their houses that the board might see fit to return, the dispensary being overstocked with this high-grade liquor, and apprecia ting the liberal spirit of the different firms and without taking into consid eration the legality of the purchases, the board accepted the generous offer. Resolved further, That the firms be credited with the amounts of liquor returned, and the commissioner be in structed to ship out the liquor as soon, as possible. The firms named are H. & H. W. Catherwood, Bluthenthal & Bickert, Grabfelder & Co. and I. Trager & Co. Two other companies, thought their representatives, stated after the meeting that they would like to come in under the same terms, but the ac tion of the board with reference thereto will not be recorded until this morning. RICHEST BOY IN THE WORLD. His Mamma Says He Is Going to Eu rope Not to be Educated, but to .Have a Good Time. New York, April 17.-Marshall Field, who at the age of 12 is prob ably the richest boy in the world. pos sessing an inheritance of $100,000,000, with his mother and sister, sailed to day on the North German Lloyd lin er Kaiser. Wilhelm der Grosse, for Cherbourg. ''All those reports that I am going to Europe to educate Marshall or Hen ry there are quite untrue,'' said Mr.s. Marshall Field, Jr., who was in deep mourning for her husband. ''We are going abroad just to spend the late spring and part of the summer motor ing on the continent. ''We expect to enjoy ourselves hugely, then we will come back to dear<>old America.'' To The Women of the South. An appeal by Mrs. Theodore W. Birney, founder of the National Mothers' Congress. I earnestly trust that there will be a large attendance upon the Georgia Mothers' congress, which will meet in Atlanta, April 23, 24 and 25. This is the first Mothers' congress to meet in the south, the fore-runner, I hope of many others. Surely it is of im mense importance to the future of the south that our women should learn all that it is possible to acquire of the duties and responsibilities of the most sacred of all vocations, mother hood, and of t~he problems of child hood. I wish it understood that it is not necessary to belong to any organ ization to be enrolled as a delegate of the' congress. Any woman interested in the vital questions that will be dis cssed is invited to appoint herself a delegate and come. Speakers of national reputation will be present and the. programme, which will be given to the press a lit tle later, will comprise such topies as Adolesence, The Special Needs of a Boy and the Girl, The Age of Spirit ual Awakening, the Toiling Children, Some of the Evils and Defects of our Educational System, The Religious Training of the Child, The Mothering of the Unfortunate Children, Child Study Circles, The Physical Care of Children, and like subjects. As a southern woman, I beg the .i operation of the women of the south, whose loyal and loving hearts have never failed to respond to such an ap peal, arid earnestly ask that there shall be a large representation of the southern women at this Mothers' con gress. We are hoping also that a good del egation will attend the National Mothers' congress, which meets in Los Angeles. California; May 7-10.

A travelini salesman arrived at hrnlV about three in the morning to diseaverhat his wife had given birth to triplets. He was delighted almost hey::nd cont rxl'of himself. "My,'' he said, "I must go right in and wake up Dooley." Doolev was .his next door neiglbor and a dog fancier. He pull ed Dooley out of the bed, got him to hurry on his clothes, brought him in about half awake, and stood him be fore the triplets. "Aren't they dandies?" he asked. Dooley gazed at them in a semi awakened state and, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes, replied: "Yes; they're all right. I think I would keep the one in the middle.' & . Ray Bright Enough ror Him. Boston Herald. A member of the travelling fratern ity was waiting for a train at a small railway station in northern New Hampshire. where was gathered the usual number of people whose daily diversion is "to see what is going on at the dee-po.'' Among the later ar rivals was William Ray, well known in that section for his ready wit. His appearance was the occasion of such salutations as "Good mornng, Ray," "Hello Rav." from all sides. Business being dull that morning, the stranger, thinking this an op por tunlity to ''drum'' up a little fun, turned to the newcomer and inquired: "Are you an X-ray?'' Without hesitaton William F. re nlied: "'I don 't know as I'mn an X ray, but I can see through you.'' Small boys wouldn 't mind having ears if there were no mothers to wash them.
