Columbia, April 17.-Whether it ii because they are afraid of the credi of the dispensary or because they ap preciate the justice of the demand foi the return of the liquors bought b3 the old board' of control, or that the3 expect to do other kusiness with thi new board -or that they are thankfu to quit doing business with the dis. pensary did not appear on the fact of the offers today. - The fact, how. ever, remains that the board, and per. haps o'thers, were surprised to heal the willingness with which the liquoi firms agreed to take back their'liquoi under the demand of the new board that they receive the liquor for whicli they say there is no sale, or shom valid and proper contracts. The neN board says there is fully $400,00 worth of high-priced and - unsalabl 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 te return this liquor, but if the state JE required to retain the liquor it is all well and good. Today a humber of the flrms, 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 e(I 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 Chliistmas traffic. "In that year,'' Mr. 'Charles ex plained, ''the investigating commit tee had the books so much and inter fered in other ways so often that i't was impossible to (do bpsiness regular ly.T That was one reason why I pull ed out. On Deepnber 11, last, the board, at my request, adopted a reso lutjon not allowing any goods to come in except on the approval of the com-. missioner, he being in better p)ositionl to gauge the needs of the dispen sary." . Mr. Charles wvent on to explain the houses wore not noti.fied of the esti mates made sup, as these were not con sidered contracts, but merely agree. ments to buy as the dispensary needed exeept,in the ease of certan $2, $2.51] and $3 goods, which Chairman Evans afterward iniforme'd him- were bbught outright for the newv bottling system. He said that this great blanket or der was made by Messrs. Evans and Towvill, while D)irector Boykin was in the north. No decision was reached about the legafity 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 ohrwitnesses. 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 tlie city,, and lie was not at the state dispensary during th e day. A great nthany liquor firins and their saleseen and laivyers were present. Amonge thoqp repr'esented were: S.

A nember of the travelling fratern ty was waiting for a train at a Amall ailway station in northern New Iamipshire, where was gathered the isual number of people whose daily liversion is "to see what is going on I the dee-po.'' Among the later ar ivals was William Ray, well knoin n that section for his ready wit. His ppearance was the occasion of such alutations as ''Good mornng, Ray,'' 'Hello Ray.'' from all sides. Business beiing dull that morning, he stranger. thinking this an oipor unity to ''druni'' up a little fun, urned to the newcomer and inquired: 'Are you an X-ray?'' Without hesitaton William F. re 4ied: ''T don't know as I'in an X ay. but I can see through you.'' Small boys wouldn't mind having a's if there were no mothers to rash them.

To The Women of the South. An appeal by Mlrs. Theodore W. Birney, founder of tile National Mothers' Congress. I earnestly trust 'that there will be a large attendlance upon01 the Georgia Mothers' congress, whlichl will meet in Atlanta, April 23, 241 and 25. This is the first Mothers' congress to meet in tihe south, the fore-runner, I hope of many othlers. Surely it is of imf mense5 importanice to the future of the south that our women sholOld learn all that it is possible to tnegtlire of tile duties anid responsibilities of tile most sacred of all vocations, mother hood, anid of the problems of chlild hood(. I wishl it uniderstood that it is not necessary to belong to any organ izat ion to be eturelied as a delegate of thie congress. Ally woman interested I in the vital questions that will be dis cussedl is inivited to appoint herself a delegate anId comei. Speakers of nlationlal reputationa will be present anId thle. p)rogrammel, wiich will be given to the press a lit ile later, will comprise such topies as Adolescence, Tile Special Needs of at Boy and the Girl, Tile Age of Spirit ual Awakening, thle Toilinlg Chlidren, Sonic of the Evils anld Defects of our Edunca tionalI System,hi The Religious Traininig of tile Child, The Mothering of tile Unlfortunate Children, Child Study Circles, Tile Physical Care of Chijldren, aiid like sulbjects. As a southernl womanl, I beg tire so opeorationl of tile women of the souith, whose loyal anId loving hlearts have never failed to respopd to such an ap.. p)eal, ad~d earnestly ask thlat there shall be a large representation of the soulthern women at this Mothers' eo'n gress. We are hoping also that a good del egation will attend the National Mothlers' conlgress, which meets in Los Angeles, California; May 7-10. A Apecial train will leave Atlanta for Los Angeles ApriIf0,s and a rate of on~e fare for the round-trip has b)eenl soCured.
