THAT OVERLOAD OF LIQUOR.
Many of th4 Firms Who Sold th
Liquor to the Dispensary Quite
Willing t6 Take it Back.
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.

A traveling, salesman arrived at

liscover%that his wife had given birth
o triplets. He was delighted almost

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

RIOHEST BOY IN THE WORLD.
His Mamma Says He Is Going to Eu
rope Not to be Educated, bit to
-Have a Good Time. t
...........- t
New York, April 17.-Marshall t
Field, who at the age of 12 is prob
ably the richest boy in the world, pos
sessing aln inheritance of $100,000,000,
with his mother and sister, sailed to
day on the North German Lloyd lin-'
er Kaiser Wilhelm delr Grosse, for
Cherbourg.
''All those reports that I am going i
to Europe to educati 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 suniner motor
ing oil tile continent.
"We expect to enjoy ourselves
hugely, then we will comc back to
dear old America.''
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.
