(Liacu>7 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.

MAJOR HANCOCK ARRAIGNED. Army Officer on Trial By Courtmartial Be cause of Weakness for Booze.

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. —New York Times. 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.
