Mr.. Henneberry IS known to have
had conferences with several politi-
clans Of influence In Saratoga, where
he was ostensibly Spending his yaca=

Mr.. Hearst capture the nomination.
This, although a sacrifice on AIR. Je.
rome's part, would give the Democrat

cast their votes for a Democrat of.
prominence.
Charles F. Murphy said at Tammany
Hall yesterday that 1t vas still too
early to take sides, and he would not
commit himself on the question as to.
whether he believed that MI. Jerome
or Mr.. Hearst would be the strongest
Democratic candidate,
1t was said yesterday on good an,
thority that Thomas F. Ryan is anxt-
GUS to have MI. Jerome run. The first
split between Ryan and Murphy came
about when Murphy refused, Against
the advice OF Ryan, 10 lake Jerome as

ed, and it is said that Mr.. Ryan IS
now in a stronger position to have
Murphy meet his views than he was

uation, Mr.. Christensen read an
affidavit from Jas. T. Williams, the
former mayor, charging that the
beer dispensaries there are and
have been nuisances. During his
term of office there had been one
homicide and numerous assaults of
a serious nature in these places.
The beer dispensaries were regular
loafing places for rowdies.
Chief Becknell Of Greenville gave
an affidavit corroborating Mr.. Will
liams' statement. The police have
no jurisdiction around these places
except to abate nuisances. S. w.
Richardson's place had given the
most trouble. It.: had been kept
open in disregard Of dispensary
regulations.
Senator Christensen presented
an affidavit from Dispenser Batson
of Greenville, charging that c. O..
Smith, chairman of the Spartan
burg county board, had been intro
duced to him by R. Y. Hellams,
chairman of the Greenville county
board, and that Smith had presen-
ted to him the merits of Congress

Dispenser NJ. S. Scruggs had
given a similar affidavit in which
he stated that when Smith ap-
preached him in behalf Of the Con-
gress Hall whiskey, they had some
hot words. 80.

ed this morning at 1890.

Carolina Tea Tables.

DIR. B. T. Galloway, chief of the
bureau of plant industry, gave me
a Christmas present yesterday 1t
is a little box of tablets. They are
about the size Of gun wads and look
something like the ordinary frog
in your throat" which simple mind
ed people put into their mouths.with
the idea that it will cure hoarseness
or. tickling in the throat. But these
tablets are neither gun wads OF
"frogs in your throat" They are
tea tablets, and they come from the
only tea producing state in the
Union. which is South Carolina.
These are the only tea tablets ever
made, these made at the Pinehurst
tea farms in Sum1nerville, S. c. 1t
is a new invention under the sun,
and it enables one to carry around
in very small packages the material
for making gallons of the very best
tea. I can take one Of my little tea
frogs in your throat. drop it into
a cup Of hot water and in exactly
four seconds have a delicious cup Of
tea, and South Carolina tea at that.
There are 20 of these tablets IN
box, good for 20 cups of tea, the
price of the box is 10 cents. A per-
son can 90 fishing, take one OF these
boxes in his vest pocket, make a fire
heat water in tin cup or camp
kettle and make tea enough tor a
party of 20. The American army,
I believe does not drink tea to any
great extent. Coffee with the SOL
diers is the favorite drink, as it is
with so many American people who
are not in the army; but tea is good
drink and is more popular today
than it used to be. DR.. Galloway
thinks that this new invention OF the
tea table, allowing tea to be carried
in such a convenient and compact
form. will induce the army to use it
more instead of coffee.
The annual report Of bureau OF
plant industry will be issued IN
about two weeks, and in that, while
there is only a short chapter on tea
culture, the farm at Summerville
is reported as progressinn with en-
couraging results. There is only
one other tea farm in the country.
That is in Texas, at Pierce, Whor-
ton county. This is not bearing vt,
however. and South Carolina still

Have YOU done this through lg-
norance or through malice:?' asked
Mr.. Boykin, referring to the tes-
timonv Mr.. Smith had offered at
the investigation prejudicial to Mr..
Boykin. Mr.. Boykin followed this
question, according to affidavit, by
asking: did you think represent
ed any whiskev houses while | was
inspector?' Mr.. Smith replied
that he did not. Then I want a
written statement saying So This
statement Mr.. Smith would not
give, saying that he had made his
statement already and could not go
back on it. To a threat that Mr..
Boykin would go before the COM
mittee and tell them Mr.. Smith re-

.>Nfr. Boykin produced an affidavit
from Mr.. c.. H. Charles, who was
clerk of the board of directors, CIV
ing dates when he was appointed
inspector, and when he resigned !:
April 4, 1880, and December l.,
1901, respectively. He further
showed affidavits to show that
though he had represented whls-
key houses, it was not during his
incumbency as Inspector.
"The only reason that [ know
why Mr.. Smith should have told
these things" said Mr.. Boykin, lis
that he was a clerk in the Sumter
dispensary when I.was elected to
the board. After I was elected he
prosecuted me with letters asking
to be appointed an inspector: /
said T didn't know Mr.. Tatum well
enough. to ask HIM to do it, and It
I did there were other men who had
a greater claim on me than he had.
That's. the only reason | know.
Mr.. Be1linger asked i'll behalf of
his friend, Mr.. Gunter, who is very
i'll, that Mr.. MCGOWAN, who was to
have been; "a witness here, should
appear at some time known to him..
so he could examine him. 1t was
promised that whenever he should
be called justice would be done Mr..
Gunter:
+ The only other interesting matter
was the examination of Inspector:
R. W.. Nichols. Mr.: Nichols was
the inspector who visited the Beau-
fort dispensary and found it in a
deplorab1e condition. Senator Chris

follows: -: =,
O.. How long have YOU been an
inspector?
- A Nearly two years.
0. You checked the accounts of
Mr.: T. F. Walsh, of. Beaufort?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. State the circumstances.
A. I had asked Mr.. Walsh to be
present when I called to look over
his accounts. I wanted to see them
then. He said that he was in i'll
health and run down. and wanted
me to defer the examination until
the next afternoon. I told him if
it would accommodate him [ would
wait, but I wanted to check up and
go on. Then he told me that he
was $1,000 short in his accounts,
and he almost broke down. | told
him to meet me the next morning
and I would see what could be done.
O.. Wasn't it after YOU told him
you would have to examine the
stock? How do YOU know that the
boxes are full in such cases?
A. We take a mans word for
it, if the seals are unbroken. The
reason for the recent instructions
was that empty cases were found
in Charleston and Fort Motto. Yes.

DiSraeIi.s Ideal Of GREATNESS

When Disraeli was curly and smart
and comparatively unknown, he visited
the Royal Exchange Of Liverpool in
company with Duncan Stewart, lead
Ing merchant of the city. 1t was ar
high noon and the exchange was
thronged by merchants. The scene So
impressed the young member Of parlia-
ment that he said to Mr. Stewart:
My ideal of greatness would be that
u man should receive the applause OF
such an assemblage as this-that he
should be cheered as he came into this
ROOM"
Disraeli went in and came out IN

again visited the Liverpool exchange
in company with Mr.. Stewart. His en-
trance was greeted by a cheer which
spread into a roar and ended in an
ovation. The testimony to his political
prominence deeply moved Disraeh.
who, recalling to Mr.. Stewart the re-
mark he had made years before. said.

Fish Sold Alive.

Fleusburg. a seaport town on the east
coast of Schleswig- has an eX-
cellent system of bringing to port fish
which are intended for immediate con-
sumption. Instead of packing the fish
in the hold of the vessel the fishermen
use fiat, Oblong boxes, drilled with
holes to allow free access of water, and
into these the live fish are placed as
soon as caught and are towed under
water. By this means the fish are kept
alive until the harbor is reached. and
they are then taken out of the boxes
and sold alive on the quay, so that
there can be no question as to their
absolute freshness.
