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.” five pointslblocked 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.

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.” Friday and Saturday Specials at Rogers’ The Rogers Stores will do a Whenever possible give or- 'rushing business Friday and ders early Friday, thus insur- Saturday after the readers of P rom P t au< l complete deliv- this advertisement have noted -JMBBMBW p, ’. v ar) d avoiding the Saturday the remarkable savings offered rush.
