GRAFT BY WHOLESALE
Charged to Men Who Were the Erstwhile
Guardians of Old South Carolina
Dispensary Affairs.
One of the biggests candals in the
history of South Carolina is now being
unfolded at Columbia in connection
with the state dispensary.
For months Attorney General Lyon
has been at work on this case, gather
ing in evidence and facts that lead in
startling directions. In this great work
Colonel T. B. Felder and General Clif
ford L. Anderson of Atlanta have been
engaged in assisting the attorney gen
eral.
The investigation leads in many di
rections and threatens to involve peo
ple all over the country. It is said on
good authority that arrests will bt
made in Atlanta, Macon, Columbus and
Savannah shortly.
One of the worst cases appears to
be that of Uullman & Cos., whiskey deal
ers of Cincinnati, which claimed that
the states owes them $35,000. The com
mission declares that the firm owes the
state $63,000 overcharges and fraudu
lent charges. B. Erlich of Atlanta
has made confession as to his connec
tion with the matter.
"During the 14 years of the dis
pensary, the amount stolen and grafted
aggregates between $4,000,000 and $5,-
000,000, conservatively estimated.”
Thi3 i3 the statement of Attorney
Feider, after trial of the first civil
case in connection with the matter .War
rants have been issued against forty
or fifty men all over the United States,
says Mr. Felder, charging them with
conspiracy to cheat and defraud the
state of South Carolma, with perjury,
and with accepting bribes.
It is stated that among those who
will be indicted by the grand jury in
Columbia at the February meeting will
be residents of Atlanta, Macon, Au
gusta and Savannah.
The South Carolina dispensary case,
involving as it does millions of dollars
anti hundreds of people, many of them
prominent and charged with serious of
fenses, promises to be one of the most
interesting and hardest fought cases
on record in this country.
STRANGE STORY OF YEGGMEN.
Bank President Gave Them Combination
of Safe While Walking in Sleep.
A strange confession was made to A.
F. Thomason, president of the National
Bank of Hattiesburg, Miss., by James
Harper and W. T. Smith, safe blowers,
brought back to Jackson from Seattle.
Harper says the president walked in
Ills sleep* He and Smith watched the
bank for several nights, and frequently
saw Thomason enter. They had sup
posed that he was in full possession oi
his senses until they caught glimpses
cf him under an electric light with eyes
closed and hands extended, creeping
over a muddy crossing. Then they
conceived a plan to enter the bank with
Thomason. They declare that Thom
ason gave them the combination to the
safe where they got the money and that
they left him asleep in the bank.
RUSS OFFICER ON EVANS’ TRAIL.
Czar’s Representative is Following Oui
Fleet to the Best of Ability.
The importance attached by the Rus
sian admiralty to the lessons to be
learned from the voyage of the Ameri
can battleship fleet under Rear Admiral
Evans is shown by the fact that a Rus
sian naval officer, Commander Alexis
Diatchkoff, is following the fleet on its
trip around South America, traveling
from port to port by whatever means
he can.
RATE LAW DECLARED INVALID.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Decides New
Statute Unconstitutional.
The 2-cent rate law in force in Penn
sylvania has been declared unconsti
tutional by the state supreme court,
which handed down an opinion Monday
affirming the opinion of the common
pleas court of Philadelphia, rendered
last September.
MAJOR HANCOCK ARRAIGNED.
Army Officer on Trial By Courtmartial Be
cause of Weakness for Booze.
Charged with conduct unbecoming an
officer, in that he was addicted to
drunkenness and that lie had broken
a solemn pledge to stop drinking, Maj.
William F. Hancock, coast artillery
corps of the United States army, sta
tioned at Fort Barrancas. Fla., was
arraigned before a general courtmar
tial at the department of the gulf head
quarters in Atlanta, Monday.
BERLIN POSTAL TUBES.
Connect the Central Office With the
Principal Stations.
The Berlin postal authorities are
revolutionizing the conveyance of let
ters and parcels.
The idea on which they are experi
menting, says the Chicago Tribune,
is to have an underground tube with
a large enough circumference to ad
mit a man In a stooping posture.
These tubes are to connect the cen
tral post office with the principal sta
tions and with the district offices.
Two sets of rails are built In this
tube or tunnel, one over the other,
not side by side. The upper set of
rails is supported on the sides of the
tube, .thus practically dividing it in
two. Small carriages, running on two
wheels, are automatically driven by
electricity along these rails.
No locomotive is used nor is there
any attendant with the carriage. As
many as six of these carriages can
be run together for conveying letters
and parcels from the arrival station
to the central post office and thence
to the various districts, or vice versa.
By this means letters can be de
livered in any part of the city in
less than a fourth of the time former
ly required. So far the scheme Is
not beyond the experimental stages,
but it promises to be a success and
to banish from the streets the mail
van, with all its poetry and romance.
Aluminum in Machinery.
Aluminum is increasingly used in
machine construction, as in crank
cases and gear boxes for motor cars,
for electric wire, and for new alloys,
pigments, and metal plating, and the
albuminum cell as a lightning ar
rester has proved to ha a valuable
addition to lightning-protecting de
vices. During recent years the price
of tin has been very high, and sines
adequate new supplies of ore have not
been discovered, substitutes for tin
must be used in manufactures. Alum
inum is regarded as probable the
most available substitute for tin in
the great majority of uses to which
that metal is put, owing to the di
minution in the price of aluminum,
the practically limitless supply of the
raw material, and the favorable phys
ical properties of the metal. As the
production of aluminum is cheapened
so will the uses for it increase. The
demand steadily keeps ahead of the
supply.—Scientific American.
Narcosis by Blue Rays.
A dentist at Geneva, Dr. Radard,
after having for several years made
experiments with the narcotic effect
of "blue light, has submitted his re
sults to the Swiss Society of Odon
tology. He claims that a complete
narcosis can be obtained if the rays
of a blue electric light are' brought
to bear oil the human eye, while all
other rays of light, particularly of
daylight, are kept off it. The nar
cosis thus obtained is so complete
that, during the same, little dental
operations, such as pulling or filling
teeth, etc., can be executed without
causing the patient the least amount
of pain. While the effect of the blue
rays is a very strong one, that of
violet-blue and green rays Is less in
tensive, and yellow or red rays show
no effect at all. The Inventor is as
yet unable to give a definition of the
cause of this remarkable discovery.

BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.
The way some persons cling to cof
fee even after they know it is doi
them harm is a puzzler. But it is au
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is proper
ly made and used instead.
A girl writes: “Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
i “One day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin of
mine had done who had taken to
Postum. But mother was such a
slave to coffee she thought it would
be terrible to give it up.
“Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morn
ing while Bhe was drinking Postum
so freely and with such relish I asked
for a taste.
“That started me on Postum, and
I now drink it more freely than I did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
“A girl friend cf mine, one day,
saw me drinking Postum and asked
if it was coffee. I told her it was
Postum, and gave her some to take
home, but forgot to tell her how to
make it.
“The next day she said she did not
see how I could drink Postum. I
found she had made it like ordinary
coffee. So I told her how to make it
right, and gave her a cupful I made,
after boiling it fifteen minutes. She
said she never drank any coffee that
tasted as good, and now coffee is ban
ished from both our homes.” Name
given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek,
Michigan.

portance to climate and agriculture, to
water supply and navigation; and,
Whereas, the cutting already done
has shown its baneful effects through
out the south, and demonstrates forci
bly from many standpoints, the neces
sity of the conservatism of this source
of our natural wealth; and
Whereas, The perpetuation of our
forests can only be done by the natu
ral wealth; and,
Be it resolved, That the Appalachi
an National Association and affiliated
