Effl TO HEAR
FELDER'S STORY
COLUMBIA, s. c., June 20.- —The an
nouncement that Thomas B. Felder, of
Atlanta, will respond to a summons
from the legislative committee inves
igating the old dispensary system of
South Carolina, particularly with re
spect to the charges of graft in its op
eration brought by Mayor Grace of
Charleston against Governor Cole L.
Biease, has been received with great
satisfaction by South Carolinans gen
erally.
Governor Blease is now in the midst
of a campaign for re-election to the
governorship, and the sustaining of
Grace's charges against him unques
tionably would affect his prospects of
election most adversely, whereas a col
lapse of those charged as surely would
greatly aid him in his fight.
For more than a year particular im
portance has been attached to the
question of whether Mr. Felder would
appear as a witness tn the proceedings
which started in "winding up the old
state dispensary.”
About a year ago Mr. Felder, in a
card published in the press of the two
states, made drastic charges against
the governor <>f South Carolina; por
tions of which were in direct connec
tion with the old state dispensary and
the situations which developed after it
was put out of existence.
Whether or not it so develops in the
end, Mr. Folder's testimony Is looked
upon in South Carolina as probably the
most important in connection with all
the dispensary investigation, and the
state undoubtedly will watch with in
tense interest the outcome of the meet
ing in Augusta. Ga„ on July 8 between
the investigating committee and the
Atlanta attorney.
EVER SEE THIS CHAP?
* ABKS AND ANSWERS
HIS OWN QUESTIONS
When Southern train No. 35 from
New York to New Orleans arrived at
thi Terminal station today five hours
late, one of the restless passengers
slipped to the platform and pulling his
watch from his pocket, shot a volley
of questions at the conductor. This
monologue followed:
"I have eleven o'clock by my watch,
hut that is Eastern time; what is it
by central time? Well. I guess I1!
set my watch back an hour for they
say- it is that much difference. How
late are we. cap? Let’s see; we were
due here at 5 and it is ten now; what
makes us five hours late? And what
time will that put us into Mobile? We
are due there at 4 o'clock, so I guess
we'll get in at 9. as we. are five hours
late. Thank you very much, cap.”
“Oh. you’re very welcome,"
Then turning to a friend, the conduc
tor said: "You know ihat is the most
accommodating inquisitor I've struck
since we left New York. He asks his
questions and answers them himself
before yoy can speak."

SUES FOR $3,000.00 FOR
’ SIEGE OF PNEUMONIA;
SAYS HOUSE LEAKED
D. A. Bynum, a grocer, told superior
court today that his Idea of the proper
monetary eompensation for a siege of
pneumonia and grippe was 13,000.
This amount, Bynum contended, J.
W. Alexandei should pay, because
Alexander owned a leaky house at 70
West Georgia avenue, where Bynum
contracted pneumonia and his wife
grippe.
Bynum, in his suit for damages, as
serted that a physician called to attend
him during his illness and told him If
he didn’t vacate the house his entile
family would sicken and probably die
He maintained that shortly after he
had rented the house the roof leaked in
various places and, at least, three times
Ire had to get up at night during hard
rains and lay wash tubs to catch the
water. • (
One end of the building he said he
used for his grocery store and on one
occasion he entered the place in the
morning to find an inch of water stand
ing on the floor and his goods floating.

FIVE BOY SCOUTS
TRAMP 100 MILES;
IN ATLANTA TODAY
Five boy scouts and their scoutmaster
are seeing Atlanta today, bravely tramp
ing from skyscraper to the capitol and
back again, though they are still a bit
sore from a 100-mile hike from Columbus
to Fairburn, a few, miles out of Atlanta
Scoutmaster E. Day Wood, of Troop 3,
led the quintette on the long march. He
has 24 boys in his troop, which is his Sun
day school class, but only six of them
could get their mothers’ consent for such
a tramp as this. One fell by the wayside
40 miles out of Columbus, defeated by a
brand new shoe and a sore heel, but the
five others stood the grind like men. They
are Charles Kite. Guy Thornton. Charles
Clayton. Hower Allen and R. H. Almand,
known to his comi'anions as "Rough
House."
The scouts left Columbus Saturday aft
ernoon and hiked eleven miles to the Al
mand place, where they camped out all
night. Then they resumed their march,
taking it by easy stages, and camping ev
ery night. They arrived in Fairburn late
yesterday afternoon, were greeted by sev
eral brother scouts of that suburb, spent
the night In the homes of their hosts, and
took the interurban into Atlanta today,
‘‘No, we're not so very sore,” said
Scoutmaster Wood. "We are going to see
the town from end to end. Three of the
boys have never seen Atlanta. We ll take
tn the and see the museum there.
You know tlOktudy of trees and stones are
a part of a BRit's training. Then we are
going to s’ormMcPherson The boys want
to see real soldiers. No. we won't walk
back. The train is good enougli for ns
this time, and we’ll leave tomorrow after
noon.”
