EAGER TO HEAR
FEIRER’S STORY
COLUMBIA, S. C.. June 20. —The an.
aouncement that Thomas B. Felder, of
Atlanta, will respond to a summons
from the legislative committee inves
tigating the old dispensary system of
South Carolina, particularly with re
spect to the charges of graft in its op
sration brought by Mayor Grace of
Charleston against Governor Cole L.
Blease, 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 charges 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 In the proceedings
which started in “winding up the old
state dispensary.”
About a year ago Mr. Felder, tn a
card published in the press of the two
states, made drastic charges against
the governor of 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. Felder'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?
ASKS AND ANSWERS
HIS OWN QUESTIONS
When Southern train No. 35 from
New York to New Orleans arrived at
the 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,
but that is Eastern time; what is it
by central time? Well, I guess 11l
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 that is the most,
accommodating inquisitor I've struck
since we left New York. He asks his
questions and answers them himself
before you can speak.”

WHEN LOAD OF HAY
, FALLS FROM WAGON
Five Points was blockaded today when
68 bales of hay tumbled from a wagon of
the Duncan-Hodnett Grain Company and
were scattered promiscuously over the
pavement. The negro driver also took a
tumble, but escaped injury.
The hay was piled so high on the wagon
that it could not clear the trolley wires at
Five Points. When the topmost bales
caught against the wires the whole load
fell over into the street.
Traffic Officers Ttfann and Burnett had
their hands full until several emergency
wagons could remove the obstruction.

thrown into panic by the blaze. The
fire was discovered shortly after 3
o’clock by Miss May Burnett, qf Beth
lehem, Pa., a guest at the hotel. Her
cries aroused the other guests and an
alarm was turned in. t
Some of the guests had to flee in
their night clothes. William Fagen, a
fireman, was buried beneath a fallen
wall and taken out with a fractured
skull.
PULLMAN CONDUCTORS
ALLOWED LIGHTER GARB
Pullman conductors entering Atlanta
are wearing black alpaca coats which
the company allowed them to don for
the summer. Os course they must have
the brass buttons on them, just as the
other company uniforms, but that isn’t
worrying Roy Elliott, who runs be
tween New Orleans and Atlanta, for he
has contrived a sinall black silk cap
the size of the buttons. When he is off
duty he slips these caps over the shin
ing buttons at*d las regular civilian

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 compensation for a siege of
pneumonia and grippe was $3,000.
This amount, Bynum contended, J.
W. Alexander should pay, because
Alexander owned a leaky house at 70
West Georgia avenue, where Bynum
contracted pneumonia and his wife
grippe. f
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 entire
family would sicken and probably die
He maintained that shortly after he
had rented the house the roof leaked in
vaiious places and, at least, three times
he 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 th¥ floor and his goods floating.

SOCIETY TO ONE
BUSINESS ADVICE
, :• -
4 j
Society folk tonight will be given a
close insight to the business affairs of
Atlanta. Wilmer L. Moore, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, is to en
tertain the board of directors of that
organization with a dinner-business
■meeting at Piedmont Driving club. So
ciety women will be present and after
the dinner is over may join in the busi
ness meeting. They may offer sug
gestions, approve or disapprove of pro.
posed matters and a number of com
mercial problems will be discussed—•
then the board will cast official votes
to decide the questions.
The directors are looking for a num
ber of useful suggestions from society
folk, and if they are made the officials
will immediately take them up and
put them to practical use in advertis
ing Atlanta or improving affairs here.
The unusual plan of the meeting
came up recently when it was found
that one arranged to take place at the
Chamber of Commerce could not be
attended by a n&mber of members as
business prevented.
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 companions 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
■ln the capitol and see the museum there.
You know the study of trees and stones are
a part of a scout’s training. Then we are
going to Fort McPherson. The boys want
to see real soldiers. No, we won’t walk
back. The train is good enough for us
this time, and we’ll leave tomorrow after
noon.”
