LAST CLAIM SETTLED. i
i 1
Dispensary Commission Settles With i
Whiskey House.
> J
The claims of the New York and <
Kentucky whiskey firm for approxi- i
mately $22,000 against the dispen- 1
| sary commission has been settled by i
I the payment of $18,000. The sum of j1
fr-' $4,000 was deducted by the commis- ;
1 * sion for "overcharges" or "graft." ]
A bond of $12,000 was given by 1
the company and should any other 1
overcharges be. found in the future it 1
L will be possible to recover the
f amounts. ; . - ]
The members of the commission, it
is stated, were for a time divided over ]
the proposition how to pay the claim ;
j < of the New York and Kentucky com- 1
f pany. The claim, it is stated, was
held up in order to get more testimony,
it being believed that there
f was a certain document in the hands
i of the Rochester firm which the attorneys
for the commission thought
would be of material worth.

mission now is settling the court appeals
and the collection of restitution
i v: money, and the information is given
out on the most authoritative suorce
that there will be several other considerable
amounts forthcoming in the
near future. There may be some liti?
gation over the amounts held up
against the county dispensaries.
The claim of the New York and
0^, Kentucky company was represented
before the commission by Weston &
9 Aycock of this city and by Perkins,
Duffy & McClain, of Rochester, N. Y.
Mr. Perkins, who is a member of
congress and an author of some note,
came here to see about the claim
and the settlement was effected in
person by Senator McClain, a raera*
ber of the New York general assembly.
Their clients manufacture Duffy's
Malt, much of which was sold in this
t State. The selling manager in New
York city is H. Curiel. who was on
< the witness stand here once or twice.
[ ' It has been alleged also that J. S.
I Farnum was doing some selling for
i this house.
The winding up of the State disr
pensary has been a good thing for at[
torneys. For instance Joe B. Wylie
I testified on the witness stand that he
\ * had given a cash retainer fee of $500
to a Columbia lawyer and yet had
never consulted that lawyer?and he
has since paid a note for $500 given
as a part of that same retainer fee. j

representing the New York and Ken:ucky
company, also represented Garrett
& Co., and Clarke Bros. & Co.
The latter firm sold the dispensary
about $165,000 worth of liquor without
a lawful order. The order was
?iven in person by John Black on a
risit to Peoria. When the windingup
commission came into office there
was a lot of the Peoria stock on hand
and the first impulse of the commission
was to ship it back, but it
was decided to be good business to
keep it as a heavy stock with which
to mix some unsaleable case goods,
the new mixture to be sold at a
price midway between the two.
The local attorneys were never
paid for their services in this matter,
and the commission in settling with
Clarke Bros. Co., set aside $3,000
which is on deposit in a bank in Co
lumbia awaiting a settlement with
the attorneys, for the claim of Clark
Bro6 & Co., as finally agreed upon,
was represented by A. J. Carroll, of
Louisville. An advertisement announces
that Weston & Aycock will
bring suit for the recovery of their
fee, and complaint has been filed
with the clerk of court.?The State.
Trance Passes into Death.
Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 16.?From a
speechless trance in which she had
lain for three months and a half Mrs.
Kate Mendelsohn passed on to death
at a hospital here to-day. The physicians
are puzzled over the case.
? " ? ? * * x _ n
Her husoana on tne nigm 01 September
30 awoke to find the woman
in a comatose state. Their baby lay
on the floor uninjured, apparently
having fallen out of bed. Mr. Mehdelsohn
had no knowledge of what
had taken place before he awoke
but he thinks his wife must have
been shocked into unconsciousness
when the baby tumbled out of bed.
She must, he believes, presumed that
the child was killed. She had been
frail but in normal health. Since
the baby's fall, she has, however.
never spoken a word.
The surgeons expect to hold an autopsy.
An automobile belonging to Mr. J.
H. Cope, which was driven by his
son. Mr. Glenn Cope, collided with a
dray wagon on East Main street last
Friday night and both vehicles were
wrecked. No one was injured, although
there were two occupants in
each vehicle.?Carolina Spartan.

KAFFIRS AS SERVANTS. bi
It
An American Woman's Housekeep- w
ers' Experience in South Africa. m
t ? ni
"I never shall forget the names
my Kaffir boys took," said a western fk
woman who kept house several years si
in South Africa where her husband w
was manager of a mine. "When the pi
Kaffir boys come from the kraals no tl
one ever uses their native names. As w
soon as they are brought in contact ol
with the whites they take* a white *
name.
"This produces results which are
not lacking in humor. Among the
house boys Knife, Fork and Spoon, &
were common names. Table, Chair, **
Watch, Carriage and Matchbox were re
other names that I had in the house bat
various times. My butler rejoiced
in the stately appellation of New h(
One. It was when the slang phrase,
'That's a new one on me,' was going tt
about. . vi
"One of my house boys took up tl
the utilitarian name of Ham and cc
Eggs. The Kaffirs are very fond of w
rice when they learn to eat it among N
the whites, and our stable boy pi

in the world in Rice. But the Kaffirs h:
have the same difficulty as the Chinese
in pronouncing the letter R, so
poor Rice always called himself Lice. b<
'"One day the wife of one of the tt
carpenters sent down to the com- SI
pound for a new kitchen boy. The G
boy had heard one expression in fre- ig
quent use at the mine. It struck of
him as euphonious and pleasing and pi
when she asked him what his name n<
was he calmly replied, 'Dam Fool.' li<
" 'Why, I can't call you that,' said cl
she, horrified; 'I'll call you Joseph.' In
"The boy flew into a rage. He said tl
Dam Fool was a 'mochlie gum,' a ec
nice name, and if he could not have
that name he would not work for her. C?
He was so stubborn about it that she
had either to use the name or to send w
him back to the compound. Eventu- ]v
ally she kept him. and she told me p{
that it was a relief to her feelings fr
jsometimes to have a kitchen boy
answering to just that name.
"The Kaffirs are very imitative and n<
will cook a dish exactly as they have
been taught. But 1 never could quite
bring myself to eat Kaffir cooking. It tc
is apt to be weird.
"I had an English housekeeper who ^
did the cooking. Once she went "1
down to Johannesburg for a week's Si
vacation and her head assistant,

Will Resist Payment of Bonds.
Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 13.?North
axolina will resist to the utmost of
ie law the payment of $484,090 of
ipudiated special tax bonds accepted
- the Rhode Island legislature as a
^nation from the New York bondjlders'
committee.
Gov. Kitchen said to-night that
ie indebtedness of the State was dided
into four classes in 1879 and
ie bonds accepted by Rhode Island
>me under the fourth class, which
ere repudiated by the people of
orth Carolina and a clause had been
at in the State constitution forbiding
their payment unless ratified
; a vote of the people.
Gov. Kitchen said in part:
"For years the holders of these
ands have been hawking them about
ie country trying to give foreign
tates a sop to sue a sister State,
reat States like New York and Michan
and others had the opportunity
: such gifts and with a high sense of
*opriety have declined them. I will
->t rrit.ieise Rhode Island for I be
sve when full information is disosed
it will be seen that her people
ive been duped as were ours when
le fradulent bonds were negotiat1."
These bonds were issued by the
irpetbagger legislatures of 1868-69.
Former Gov. Glenn declared they
ere issued by a legislature not legalorganized
and constituted; were a
irt of a plot and conspiracy to deaud
the State and when placed on
le market were sold for a mere
igatelle. The State, he declared.

MAKES RESTITUTION.
Liquor Dealer Dead, But His Estate Ro
Pays Up.
Restitution money continues to come
Yesterday the executor of the estate
of a former whiskey dealer sent
a check for $300; . gaj
Not much, but it helps to prove
the general proposition, that all, or
practically all whiskey houses paid sj0
graft to get business in this State. op
The attorney general has proved ^
the converse of the proposition?that ^
in order to get the regular scale of roi
profits, the liquor dealers were forepH

State.

company made restitution of $30,000 ^
graft money. th(
The revelation yesterday came in a Pei
letter to Attorney General Lyon from
T. B. Felder, of Atlanta. The firm of ^a1
X. M. Uri & Co., of Louisville, was pei
called upon to restore $400. Uri of ta3
this firm died several years ago and
the claim of $400 was presented to Fo
his executor, who would pay only Co
$300. This amount was accepted
rather than carry the case into the
courts. According to the contract ga
the Atlanta firm will receive 50 per Bii
cent, of the restitution. Cl<

overcharged. This letter was sent 1
to Mr. Christensen. However, the '

name of the firm was carefully ar3
scratched out in every place where om
it appeared. There was one clue ma
