A great deal of interest centers In
the cargo Of blue gum timber which
has, arrived at Dover, England. from
Australia for the national harbor
works. Most Of the baulks, or sticks
as they are termed, weigh as much as
ten tons each and n between 100
feet and 200 feet long. This kind of
timber has been chosen for piling
work, owing to the fact that 1t will
not float, SO that in the event of the
piles being washed away in heavy
gales they go to the bottom and there
is no danger of their ramming a ship
like ordinary baulks of timber.

a residence on one side Of the polls
and the Reformers on the other, where
the cash was paid for the votes deliv-

very irregular, owing to the haste OF

little consolation in the facts or they
would not have persistently refused to
disclose them. The board Of control
may own the state rum business, and
the state rum business may own the
state, but we do not think the courts Of
South Carolina would refuse to grant
to a citizen and a taxpayer the right
of inspection of the states whisky
books.
At the time we were first informed Of
the facts in the Sprinkle case both Of
the gentlemen who heard the CONVEX
sation were engaged in business out Of
the city of Greenville and were hard to
reach as they were moving about. We
finally secured MIR. Hoke's affidavit,
and in Difference to the wishes Of the
other gentleman, we withhold his name,
having his assurance that If this mat
ter should get into the courts he will
come forward and give his evidence.
We are at liberty, however, to quote
from a letter from this gentleman dated
WAY 20, 10UG, Ill lHSll hS says
yours of the 9th instant enclosing
affidavit of D. NJ. Hoke received. I am
not prepared to substantiate all Of Mr..
Hoke's affidavit, for I think he Is mis-
taken in saying I was present at this
special conversation. 1 did hear Sprln-
kle say that he sold the South Carolina
dispensary 500 barrels Of whisky at
$3.50 per gallon, and gave a commission
to the buyer amounting to 81 per bar
rel: but after trying several times to
get him to tell me who the buyer was,
without success. I dropped the matter.
Mr.. Caldwell, Of the Charlotte Obser-
yer, was with us at the time: but could
not or did not get the name Of the Of
fetal who did the buying.
Sprinkle's bookkeeper told me that he
could tell enough Of the rottenness Of
the dispensary to do them all a great
deal of harm, but I do not remember
his name. Probably Mr.. Caldwell does.
for he tried to employ him at one time "
We have taken means since receiving
the affidavit of Mr.. Hoke and the state
ment of the gentleman just quoted
from to investigate the identity Of the
"Dr. Mouzon," who heard the CONVEX
sation of Sprinkle alluded to by Mr..
Hoke. DR.. Mouzen was an assumed
name, the party being in Greensboro
for treatment. His real name is DR..
Wayne Gamble, and he lives at Gour-

Just arrived from the "ould Sod" AS
he started out one morning, he noticed
his office windows were rather dirty,
and calling Bridget he instructed her
to clean them before he returned. AT
the same time he told her that he would
stop and purchase new chamois skin
and send it home, and with this she
was to clean the windows. After ne
had gone his rounds, he returned to
his office. Glancing at the windows,
he found them thickly streaked with
grease. He called Bridget, and the fol-
lowing colloquy took place:
Bridget, didn't 1 tell you to clean
the windows?"
"Yes, sor."
And didn't tell you to use the new
chamois?"
"Yes, sor."
"Well, did you use it?'
"Sure I did, sor."
Let me see the chamois," said the
doctor, and Bridget promptly brought
it. Then the doctor learned for the
first time that his wife had left the
house a half hour before he did in the
morning and had sent home some tripe.
