BAD FEELING IN COMMISSION.
Mr.. Lyon Very Sensitive-Takes Ex-
ton to Motion of Mr.. Blease
the Men not Permitted to
Scrap.

Columbia, S. C., Aug. 25.-As the
morning session Of the dlspensary
investigation was drawing to a close
rather istlessly surprise was sprung
in an entirely unlocked for tilt be-
tween Senator Cole. L. Blease, OF
Newberry, and Representative J.
Fraser Lyon, OF Abbevllle, which
would have resulted in a personal
encounter, but for the fact that
Chairman Fraser stepped between the
TWO men and prevented them from
coming to blows.
Mr.. Lyon was examining Secretary
Charles Of the dispensary directorate.
when Senator Blease moved to
adjourn on the ground that the
stenographer, who was sick, had
been on duty for four hours and Il
half.
Mr.. Lyon took exception to this
in mild sarcasm about his beng
in the hands of the committee wher
Chairman Fraser asked him II i;
would be agreeable for him TO sus-
pend.
II intended nothing personal BY
NV remarks" said Senator Blease.

that I made the motion. If l chos'

enough for you to see"
Eyes, and when you do it, l vii.
smash your face" Mr.. Lyon called
back, shaking his fist over Chairman
Fraser's shoulder.
"You won't get a chance; you vii
never get to me- reiterated Mr.
Blease.
II know you carry your pistol witt
VOL but that makes but little differ
ence," said Mr.. Lyon.
Senator Blease raised his coat tail.
and insisted on the marshal search
inc him for a weapon, saying at tho
same time, IT have no weapon, but :
meant I would kill him before he go:
to me-"
The room was crowded and the
men were prevented from getting tc'
each other. There has been bad
feeling in the commission for some
time.

said he was approached on one occa-
sion by a whiskey representative
whose name he could not recall. re-
membering merely that he was from
Cincinnati. The representative open
ed the conversation by asking Mr..
Richardson's opinion of Col. Mixson
and alter getting very high estimate,
said: well, I have formed an opin-
ion of him, he is either an honest
man or damn fool" The representa-
tive explained by saying that mix
son had refused an offer of S. bar
rel on goods bought from this Gin
cincinnati house, and he can orde- as
much as 100 barrels month from ME,
which would amount to $1,000 a year
for him."
Witness said he reported the mat
ter to COL Mixson next day. COL
MiNson was agitated and said the man
had made him the offer but that he
had always stuck to make an honest
living and didn't propose to break
over at this late date
Bottles For Boys.
Mr.. G. H. Charles, secretary OF the
board, testified to whiskey represen-
tatives visiting the board room, and
explained some financial matters. So
far as he knew Director Boykin had
never represented Lanahan. In an
swer to a question to give the names
of dozen or more whiskey houses
who sent him cases Of goods from
time to time with the bottles marked
for various employees at the dispen-
sary. the names Of these firms showed
that three of them had community
of INTEREST," in the Richland distillery.
I. w. Bernhein, S. J. Lanahan and
J. S. Farnun are directors in the
Richland concern and onnected with
big out side concerns.
Witness then touched on the old
row of years ago, where the contra
band room was entered by "hocus
pocus key" by members OF the board
and where Clerk Seth w. Scruggs
was indicted for breaking into it and
taking a pair of slippers.

Capt. McGowan's Statement.

Spartanburg, Aug. 25.-Capt. VIM.
MCGOWAN was seen today concern
ing the statement of Chief Con-
stable FAINT. He said that he has
never had any connection with dis
pensary officials, except as an attor-
ney.
He said that he called on Chief
FAINT and asked him for the twenty
eight names Of men who had asked
him to assist them in securing dis
pensary positions and Chief Fant
told him that it was only hearsay, but
he would try and get the names.
He stated that he never spoke to
Attorney General Gunter about Sc
curing appointments on the constab-
ulary force in his life, except probably
one time, which was about three OF
four months ago.
Mr.. Gross, Of this county, asked
him to speak a good word with Chief
State Constable Hammett and also
asked him to see Attorney General
Gunter and get him to speak good
word to Chief Hammett for him.
He said he promised to do this, but
don't think he did. All Of his dealing
with the dispensary officials has al
ways been that Of an attorney and

vices they could get then by paying

FUTURE DEFENDERS OF THE
FLAG

At this time the toy stores do
thriving business, the miniatures of
soldiers and wrestlers being in great
, demand. Spears, guns, flags and all
the equipments of warriors and men of
strength are represented in the play
things, SO that the little ones may
have early object lessons to stimulate
their spirit of ardor and conquest.
Older children flock to parties, picnics
and festivals. The streets are bright
with color as the many juvenile pa
rades pass through them. The little
marchers are equipped with caps and
sashes and some of them carry BAN
ners. The national martial spirit is
shown in the military makeup of the
boys, the parks being the scene of
drills by many companies of small
troops. They execute their evolutions
with an accuracy that would do credit
to real soldiers. If Japan is to wage
many wars as costly as the present one,
these little fighters are learning the
way of the bloody game none too soon.
During the Feast of Dolls, which oc-
ours the first week in March, the little
Japanese girls have their holiday. 1t
is at this period that the entire family
takes a recess and gives itself over to
pleasure. All don their best attire
and hospitality is dispensed right and
left. The family treasure are brought
forth and exhibited. particularly the
dolls Of mothers and grandmothers
which are kept in mysterious hiding at
lections are tiny figures of the Empe-
~
the nobility, all dressed accurately and
extensively. 1t is etiquette to arrange
these images in the order of their rank
and spread repasts before them. Food
and drink are arranged on exquisite
little lacquer tables with toy dishes
and furnishings. Among the wealthy
classes these playthings often represent
great intrinsic value, but they are
treasured far more highly because they
have been the property of other genera
tions. The family whose fortunes have
been depleted will dispense with every
thing it possesses before it will part
with it's stock of manikins.
BOYS ARE LIKED BEST.
Japanese boys are thought more of
by their parents than the girls, because
the Oriental man holds himself Supe-
rior to woman. This shows itself in
many ways. If husband and wife are
walking in the street, the man goes in
front and if there are bundles to carry
the woman looks after them. A few
days ago I sat down to dinner with
two American girls at hotel in
country village. The Japanese wait
ress was very particular to give me
the largest piece of meat and the best
looking apple-not that she sized me up
as being a hearty eater, but because 1
was a man and therefore Gin her esti-
mation) entitled to the best treatment.
The manner in which little girls are
pressed into service to carry babies
often weighing nearly half as much as
themselves, while their stout brothers
run about and play, is another ilu5-

tration of partially in favor of the
sterner sex. 1t is no wonder these pa
tient little pack-horses grow to be
hump-backed women. If little girl
has no baby brother or sister her
parents frequently rent her services to
neighbors who have small charges that
they desire to be rid of during the day.
She frequently performs double duty,
namely, carrying the baby while she
does some other kind of work. An en-
ployee in tea firing house told me that
he knew Of several cases like this. The
heat of the room where. the tea was
fired was SO intense that combined with
the exceeding hot weather, it made the
atmosphere of the room unbearable for
more than a few minutes at a time,
yet the girls went in and out at their
work with the babies strapped on their
backs, the helpless mites taking the
sweat baths with their guardians and
mapping between times.
JAPANESE BABIES CAN CRY.
The oft-repeated statement that Jap
anese babies do not cry is incorrect.
have seen more than one take a
tumble and their lung power under the
provocation of a bumped head is as
vociferous as the small fry Of any
western nationality. And they have
plenty Of temper. The other day as a
procession passed, our servants four
year-old started for the street in a
gallop. When his mother called him
he did not say "shikata ga nai'' (the
famous Japanese expression meaning
it doesn't matter.) He screamed his
wrath and disappointment at the top
of his voice and jumped up and down
till the splinters fairly flew from his
wooden clogs. But it is true that the
Jap baby does not cry so frequently
as one Of our children. 1t takes more
to get him under way. but when he
makes a start at crying he is not an
amateur by any means.
I have asked a number Of ladies why
the Oriental is more passive than his
Occidental cousin. They do not con-
slider it the same trait that prompts
the aboriginal to bear pain with stoi-
cism, but the reserve which is inherent
to the japanese. It is dignity rather
than bravado. A school room filled
with children Of the aristocracy is as
solemn as a court levy. These little
people enter and depart with the same
serious demeanor that marks the de-
pertinent CT their elders. They do not
gigsle nor throw paper wads. If they
feel the bouyancy and mischievousness
which characterizes the disposition Of
young Americans, 1t is so we'll under
control that they would no more think
of showing it than diplomat would
allow himself to manifest anger while
negotiating treaty.
MUST KNOW NO EVIL.
The Japanese adage that one must
speak no evil, see no evil, hear no
evil, is taught the children from their
infancy. Over the temple door are
three monkey images il different at
titudes. One has it's hands over it's
mouth, another over its eyes and still
another over it's ears. This object
lesson in ignoring evil is explained to
the youngsters during his wide-eyed,
