THOMAS FKLiDKll MUST SPECIFY Commission Ordered Htm tu Make Good His Threats, e.ml Tell All That He May Know. His Treseiice in t'oluuibia Required, With All His lUvoitls in tlie Old l>lspensary Fight. Columbia, May 17. The climax iu the dispensary situation was reached this afternoon, when the new commission called upon Thos. B. Felder, the Atlanta attorney to appear here on May 21) and show "'any connection or any dealings in " person or as agen for others that the Hon. Cole L. Blease may have had with the State dispensary directors or any other person or persons connected with the institution." Tfy, resolution also calls upon Col. Felder to tell all he knows of dispensary matters. This is the call of the commission to Col. Pelder to come forward and "wiite his book." At the meeting on May 29, Attorney General Hyon and other coun- ! sel connected with the dispensary will be asked to attend. The Scruggs matter will be taken up also at that time as will the question of employment of counsel. Felder's Presence "Required." In the resolutions adopted this af-| ternoon the word "required" is used in connection with Felder's appearance here on that date. Heretofore the letters to Col. Folder have "asked" that he attend. The following is the resolution: "Be it resolved, That this com-1 mission meet on the 29th day of May V D.t 1911. and that Thomas, P.. Pelder of the firm or Anderson, J J* elder, Rountree and Wilson, be I required to appear before said com- i mission on that date and furnish them with all information in his possession of his firm, in connection with all matters and affairs of any and all claims due or owing to or by the State of South Carolina from and to any and all person, or }K?rsor s, in obedience to bis contract made with the late members ol this commission in writing by the said Anderson, Felder, Rountree and. Wilson. As to Governor "Resolved second, That the said Thomas It. Felder, at the same time be required to furnish all information in hi? possession in regard to any matter or matters connected with the said State dispensary against any officer of said institution or of this State, and particular ly the Governor of this State, the lion. Cole L. Blease, in accordance, with his communications heretofore made, either in person or j ;.. through the press of this State, aiulj -A,. that he also furnish any information that he has in his possession, ^ showing any connections or any dealings in person or agent for, others that the said Cole L. Blease | may have had with the State dispensary directors or any other per-; son or persons connected with the inst itution. Resolved third, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted bv! registered letter through the United | States mail to the said Anderson,; Felder, Rountree and Wilson and a j c ;py individually to Thomas B. Pel-j der, of said firm." Blease is Pleased. Governor Blease was asked to-; night about the announcements of; the dispensary commission, said:] "I feel particularly gratified at the| resolution with regard to Felder. 1 hope taat the commission will in- i v sisit upon Felder's coming here and sho\frijg his hand. If he does not! do so, 'hen the commission and ; others will know, as I know, that he has absolutely nothing on me. j And if he does come, 1 know that I have not done anything wrong, nor had any connection with the dispensary, and I am not afraid of anything. "For this reason I am pleased that the commission has by resolution required Mr. Felder to attend and testify. In other words I want him to come forward with his ; book." About the Richland Distillery and the Carolina Glass Company resolutions, Governor Blease had no other comment to make than that "The decisions of the commission are satisfactory to me.". He,did not comment upon the merits^of the Glass Company case. Felder Cannot be Forced. There is no doubt that Col Felder cannot be made toappear before the com mission, but if he does not come under the resolution passed to-day by the commission, this will. according to general opinion, foe a final admission, that be has nothing to offer in the nature of an exposition of the Governor of this State, to which Col. Felder referred so strenuously in cards to a few newspapers recently. How it all Started. Interest is revived tonight by the commission's resolution in the Blease-Felder controversy. The matter started when, one Saturday night about two months ago. Governor Blease gave out a letter signed "T. B." In which the writer wish to "frame up" a $250,000 whiskey a8 \ deal with "Dear Hub." At least talk that is the gist of the comiuunica- race tion. Then came Col. Felder with hair a warm card to the press, followed Yorl later by others denouncing Govern- j h or ifleusc. He said If the in\esti- iin,t gating act were not signed in thirty |,V i days he would "show up" the Gov- wnff 1 ernor. Then he said he would auch "write a book." The thirty days tea?.! have expired aud the commission whlj luis called upon Col. Felder to mue conio h<>rp hilt iii> l/i thlo Ui"? ho , WU..C HgUI has not appeared in South Carolina, the sending, through his firm, a letter New asking certain questions of the com- an ? mission as to the construction of city, the contract and as to what was piec< wanted of him here. a li\ The commission to-day made he e known its plans definitely. In the irop words of one of the members, "The he v | clime has been reached." Yorl l>istilling Company Case. The dispensary commission this whe] afternoon requested Attorney General Ijyon, in a formal resolution, to tllIK, proceed with the case against the mon Richland Distilling Compnny, the tjR> concern that the old connumission gig < said wtis indebted to the State in heco the sum of $672,801.37. worl The Richland DiBtilling Com- stjjj pany's property here is estimate 1 as being worth about $30,000. ^ ^ tivit; SKA'S ISITUKD GOLD. P,lun slum Lure of Lost Treasure Hunting Not All Fiction. ct' 41 Not all the tales of vast treasures the buried deep under the sea are evolved in the minds of novelists. Rbbert Ixmis Stevenson and a dozen other writers have made such stor- t'a>' ies famous, but there have been men, real men, who have profited ^is by secrets of buried gold, real gold. a' r< In fact, some of the real stories of ! mani lost, and recovered treasure can throi give points to romance and beat it He with ease. I hors* The successful adventures of "wcu! John Phipps are a case in point, horsi Phipps, who had been a ship car- brok penter, towards the end of the sev- him enteentli century, spent years try- \ he h ing to convince various peers that ' * there lay a vast Spanish treasure asc'il under the sea off Hispaniola. At 0,!ar last the Duke of Albemarle lent him ' a ship, with the result that, after a Cooj year of adventure Phipps returned i the to England, bringing with him re- 'to<"l covered treasure worth $1,000,000. Phipps' welcome when he returned to England with the freight resulted, through the influence of the Duke of Albeniare, who shared 'pj his treasure, in knighthood and an \ Univ appointment as governor of Mass- ue achusettes. $100 Ever since the time of Phipps, the!0f $ search for gold has gone on. How- j The ever, although centuries have pass- cjarj *-u, iuiuiy a minion still lies on the for t bottom of the ocean and it may con-; jn}, tinue there centuries longer. Ther Perhaps the most valuable sunk- ,.oun en treasure in the world is now I q-j lying at the bottom Vigo bay. The 13tud< Spanish, in 1702, to aviod capture, J gove scuttled their largest ships laden Sity with treasure, the harvest of f?urlnew years' looting in Mexico. The treas-! path ure, in gold, silver and precious pCOp stones, is estimated to be worth j . ^ 510.000,000. I serve On one of the islands of the l-.eeward group in the West Indies, | ment either Marie Galanti or Descada 1-a Pitte, a French pirate of 100 i ( * years ago, buried gold and specie to the value of $1,000,000. I day Among the other treasures of the ocean is the wreck of the black p Prince, which lies at the bottom j?rt>s of the sea off Sevastopol. The! ^ & Black Prince was dispatched to i f-or Sevaltopol with a general cargo for the army and $500,000 as service pay. It was sunk the day of l . its arrival by Russian gun fire, and \ went down with its cargo and treasure, none of which has ever been recovered. Another English vessel containing a large amount in specie '' ^ is the East Indiaman Grosvenor, "iat now lying under water off St. 1'ie 1 John's, Cape Colony. ' As an amusing instance of the way in which lost treasure can ' " t row by rumor. Captain Kidd's Qaic'' hoard is Instructive. When Kidd u'i:o was bunged in I^ondon in May, 'i,me 1701, a shipmate of Kidd's said ou'n that the captain had hidden about sl)e" $ 1,500 worth of plate and coin, r^eu which he had not been able to re- W cover. From this small beginning Kidi sprang the innummerable stories of Captain Kidd's hoards, the last of as which placed the amount at $5,- ',<?al 000,000. neys HEADS KIKE ROMANCE.

My I legs were drawn back until my fret touched my hips I was as helpless as a baby for nearly twelve months. I The muscles of my arms and legs were hard and shriv, elled up. I suffered death many times over. Was treated by aix different physicians in McColl. Dillon v < and Marion, but none of them could do me any goad, until i)r J. P. Ewmg.of Dillon, came to see me. He told me to try your RHEUMAC1DE. He got me cae bottle of the mraicine and I began to take it. and before the first bottle was used up I began toget better. I used { five and a half bottlesand wascompletely cured. That I was two years ago and my health has been excellent ! ever since. Have had no symptoms of rheumatism. I regard RHEUM AC1DE as by far the best remedy for Rheumatism on the market.' I cannot say too much far it. I have recommended it to others since and it baa I cured them. Will say further, that I began to walk in about six dsys after I began to take RHEUMACIDC, with the aid of crutches; in about three months after!
