This stuff would cost 11 cents per half pint and would be sold for 25 cents, taking the place pf the cheap case goods for which the dispensary had been paying 18 cents -and selling for 25 cents. The eas6 goods referred to previously, he said, had been bought by the board after the rectifying plant had been ordered. After Jan. 9, on complaint of Tatum, all orders were held up by telegram. W. N. Floyd, R. W. Nichols, in spectors, were examined and corrob orated the letters read from county| dispensers. They said that the de mand for X corn, gin and rye was not filled.

Through him, as exhibit N, was put in evidence Mr. Black's letter to' Mobley, Dec. 14, 1000, in response to Mobley's complaint to Black that lie could not meet drafts from Clark Bros. and asked Black to hold up the shipment. Black did so. Mobley said that $30,000 drafts had been paid on the cash purchase from Clark and part of the goods held on demurrage was this Clark purch.ase. Mr. Black had never giv en Mobley the amount of the pur chase, the price or any of the details whatever. He said all drafts were 0. K.'d by Tatum. Mr. Mobley pro duced the list of invoices from Clark and Lehman, the amount of which is stated above. He said that Mr. Black had been out of the city since Jan. 1, being under treatmbnet at Hot Springs, Ark. Other witnesses were Capt. J. H1. Claffy and Mr. Norfolk, the expert rectifier. Norfolk stated that much of the whiskey which had been bought as case goods were nothing more than low wines and not worth the price which the board had paid for it. Letters From Dispensers. Aecompanying the report are a number of exhibits showing the amount of purchases made at differ ent times by the board with in the last few months and the letters re ferred to by the witnesses. These in elude about 75 letters from as many county dispensers il reply to the let ter sent out by Commissioner Tatum. Most of them declare that they are unable to Jispose of the goods ord ered as introductory goods and many of them state that their dispensaries are piled up with stuff which their culstoiers will not buy. LEVER STIRS. HORNET NEST. Declares Cannon is Blocking the For est Reserves Bill. Washington, January 29.-Rep resentative Lever, of South Carolina, stirred uip a hornet i nest in ilhe house today when he offered to the a-ricultural appropriation bill an amendineti appropriating $3,000,000 for the purchase of the Appalachian and White Mountain forest reserves. lie said twelve states were interested in the movement and many Governors had personally solicited the speaker of the house to permit. the bill to come before the body on its merits. But through mysterious influences, lie said, the speaker was continuing to hold the bill up and lie wanted the country to know the facts about the easure. Mr. Towney objeeted to he eroiial attack on the speaker, an1 aid he would Object to furtlher ('iIsideratioll. "phi, it is not a perso)nal attack on the spe.aker." replied Mr. Lever. ''It is an .but"pokeni statement as to where the sibjiet Ii to the bill is.

Mr. Lever tried to make, i appear that the agricultural commitee was unanimously in favor of the ill, but Mr. Haugen, of Iowa, with consider able warmth replied that lIe had not voted in favor of the measure and he gave notice that he w9old vote against it if the bill shouldever get before the house. "You vote against four-fifths of the good propositions that come be fore this house," hotly replied Mr. Lever. Mr. Wadsworth made a point of order against. the amendment, which was sustained, blut not until 'Mr. Lev er had been heard. Notes from the National Capital. Washington, Jan. 31-In accord ance with the usual custom of the Agricultural Department, . no crop report will be issued for the month of February, and consequently cor respondents of the department will not be supplied crop schedules re turnable the first of that month. Within the past two weeks quite a boom for Judge George Gray, of Dele ware, for the Democratic nomination for the presidency has been started among Southern Democratic Senators and Representatives. Judge Gray represented the state of Deleware in the United States Senate for a num ber of years, being a member of that body during the memorable fight against the Republican force bill, and it was largely due to his efforts that the iniquitous measure was defeated ind the white people of the south saved from negro domination. Many leading Democrats think Judge Gray would make an ideal candidate, espe cially so that, tariff reform is to be the paramount. plank in the next Democratic platform. While Southern senators and rep resentatives in congress, with but one or two exceptiods, heartily approve the course of President Roosevelt in disimissinlg the negro troops engaged in the murderous attack on the citiz ens of brownsville, Texas, they just as heartily disapprove his efforts to force upon the country a centralized goveriment that would convert the republic practically into a monarchy. Southern senators and representa tives believe in the doctrine of states rights, and will resist to the end the efforts of President Roosevelt to place all power in the hands of the Federal Government. The outlook is very promising for tle passage of a bill providing for thw paymenit for a large number of soutlern war elaims, some of which tave been, pen(ling in congress for thirty years. Tfhe passage of' such a bill would men much to the south, as some three or four million dollars would lie Iturnmed in that direct ion,as a result. James S. McCarthy.
