on that day the first lot of rectified
stuff was ready to be bottled. 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.
Director Wylie.
)ireetor Josepl I1. Wylie was the
next witness. le said that he did
not. understand that the stock must
be kept within $400,000 buj jach
three months all over $400,000 must
be paid into the school fmnd. le
did not. remember the letters to Ta
tun from the county dispensers. He
remembered Tatuni's protest in No
vember. If any December purclnhases
.containing objectionable goods hId
come in, lie doesn't. know it. le did
not reneiber the clark order in De
eember. They bought 300 eases of
apricot. brandy from Lehman whieh
is the same as Clark but the order
was later eounternianded. Didn't re
leilber the $100.000 pArchase from
Clark hut Mr. Vylie stated that Mr.

Tatum and the inspectors in regard to
the goods asked for by the county
dispensers.
Mr. M. H. Mobley, clerk of the
board, -was also examined. 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

speaker, but he and -S od f his
henchmen are blocking op #Qderation
of this bill and by the goi1 propose
that the people shall kn , "
Mr. Towney replied th,t:he was
hot questioning the moties of the
gentleman from South 0rolina, but
he was questioning the languge used.
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.
