NOT TO PROBE PRIYATEAFFAIRS
South Carolina Dispensary favesti-
eating Committee Announces That
It Has Decided Not to Hear Evi-
dence of the Special Committee.

Columbia, S. c., ~Special.-Wednes-
day afternoon session Of the dispen-
sary investigating committee was
characterized by some exciting and
more OF less sensational and dramatic
incidents, though the evidence which
the spectators had been led to be-
lieve would be brought out was shut
off by a decision of the commission.
The Supreme Court room, where
the sessions Of the committee are be-
ing held was crowded. At the OPEN
ing OF the session, Representative
Lyon made a statement to the effect
that he and Senator Christensen, in
obedience to the committee's instruc-
lions, had visited the three home cit
les OF the three members of the board
OF ~dlspensary directors, with a view
TO bringing out a comparison between
the proprietor owned by the members
OF board before going on the board,
and what they owned now. He said
that they were now ready to go into
this matter and that there were a
number OF witnesses present from
~Newberry, the home of Chairman
Evans, ready to testify.
The other members Of the commit.
tee got their heads together ON the
judges rostrum, which overlooked the
seats occupied by Messrs. Lyon and
Christensen, and their detective. Mr..
klingenberg, and Attorneys Welsh
and Bellenger for the other side.
While the conference was going Oh.
Chairman Evans pushed open the side
door and strobe in, his thumbs in his
vest, and a cigar in the corner of
his mouth.
Chubby Or the spot" he called.
After circulating through the crowd
of spectators, he threaded his way
into the bar enclosure and, leering at
the detective, assumed a belligerant
attitude. 1t was felt that some trou-
BILE might be expected at the after
Moons session and there was a cur
rent Of suppressed excitement run
ming through the room. The material
at hand was i'll a highly infammable
state and, but for the GOODNESS Of
those who had this official business in
charge, it is likely, that serious re-
suits would have ensued.
At this point the committee decided
not to go into private details, and
thus a disagreeable scene was avert
ed.

Waist Tor Evening or Day Wear.

The square neck evening waist
makes a feature and a novelty of the
season and is very generally becoming
and attractive. Illustrated is one of
the best possible models that includes
sleeves of the very latest sort and
which is adapted to the entire range Of
soft and crushable fabrics of fashion.
In the illustration pale pink messaline
crepe is trimmed with ecru lace, but
coiors as we'll as materials are exceed
ingly varied this year and trimmings
are almost numberless. Lace is always
pretty and attractive, but embroidered
landings can be utilized if better
liked. In addition to all these advan-
tages the waist allows of making with
the yoke and long sleeves, so becoming
adapted to daytime wear The sleeves
with the short puffs and fitted under
portions are among the latest designs
noted on imported models and are to
be much commended. In this instance
there are frills which add largely to
the effect.
The waist is made with a fitted lin
ing and itself consists Of fronts, centre
front and backs. The fronts are tucked
and joined to the plain centre, while
the closing is made invisibly at the
back. The trimming that finishes the
neck is arranged on indicated lines and
effectually conceals the edges Of the
frills, which are arranged over the
sleeves and waist. When high neck
and long sleeves are used the plain
portions Of the sleeves can be made
