On February 18th George c. McIn.
tosh, editor of the Fayette Tribune,
Fayetteville, and former editor of the
Charleston Mail, being duly sworn,
testified in part as follows:
"a. Well, can say this, that /
know in general way that the whis-
key and brewery interests in the state
have been perniciously active for the
last three or four years, and they have
the reputation of having expended and
raised a large amodnt Of money. They
were particularly active in the organi-
cation of the Senate in 1907, along
with other interests, and did organize
the Senate in that year. Exactly
what they spent, and how they spent
it, | am not prepared to say. l had it
upon Information that the man who
was particularly at the head of the
game ats that time, had proposed to
another gentleman, sometime previous
to the organization, that they 90 to-
gether in the promotion of the scheme:
he stated to him that there would be a
large sum of money in it, as | rem en-
Der, S35, 900 or 600 they would have
to expend. The gentleman to whom
he made the proposition, however, de-
clined to take part in it.
@. You have already stated, Mr..
Mcintosh, that man at the head of
the game, that is the organization OF
the Senate in 1907, proposed to another
person, that if they could organize the
900 to be handled by them. Who
was the man at the head of the gan e
to whom you refer, and to whom did
he make this proposal, and when and
where?
A. Well, Mr.. Swisher was the man
at. the head of the game, and the pro-
position was made 10 Mr.. Grant Hall,
of Kanawha county, a short time prior
10 the assemb bling of the Legislature in
| Charleston.
q. Are you IN possession of any
Information relative TO this that will
aid the committee further IN its inves-
tigat on9
No, sir, / am not.
@. How did you get this iuforfua-
ton?
| A. from Mr.. Hail.
| O. When and where did you GET
! this information from Mr.. Hall?
! A. don't remember just when;
at about the time OF the Senate's or
ganization here in Charleston"

manner he put il ~, or the place where

attended meeting the night before,
at which meeting he did SO.

Q. He told you as I understand,
that he had attended that meeting just
the night before?
A. That is my recollection now. |
wouldn't state positively.
Q. Was 1t in the morning or the
afternoon that he told you?
A. 1t was in the morning, before
ao1.
Q. Did he tell you the meeting was
held here in the city?
A. No, but l thought he meant
that. He could, of course, come in by
other trains, but being in the morning
before noon, drew the inference, and
thought at the time that it was the
night before; 80 it could have occurred
elsewhere; / don't know. 1 asked no
question because found it was getting
into personal affairs, which l don't
care to do.
@. Did he tell you, however, that
he attended a meeting of the whiskey
men the night before, and that his
co ncern paid in $4,000, didn't he?
A. That he did, positively and
clearly,
Z Q. He didn't tell you to whom it
was paid nor howl
No, sir,
Q. Did he tell you for what pur-
pose it was paid?
A. He said it was for the purpose
of defeating legislation. He didn't say |
how, but for the purpose of defeating |

which was on hand at that time.n

was so convinced of it that she be-

and cried softly to herself over the

juncture friend sent her a box of
chocolates. She ate one; life looked

why not put off that death till next

In the Care of Sleep

When fall the sable shades of gloomy night,
Like funeral pail,
And from the denser forest close at hand
Night birds begin TO call;
While from the azure vault high overhead
Bright stars begin TO peep,
Like signal lights on lesser wafer craft
Upon The misty deep;
| love TO sit and contemplate the scene,
To hear the beetles hum,
And listen TO the booming of the SURF
Much like a martial drum:
While all around me Nature seems TO rest,
As weary from her toll,
And on the stormy waters of the day
Sleep pours her soothing oil.
Then rest and ease come TO my weary limbs
And TO my heart sweet peace,
The while my brain, long full of busy cares,
Knows then short release;
And worldly things are drivsn from my mind,
Like clouds from summer skies,
While visions of that better future life
Come TO my longing eyes.
The certain knowledge of future state
Is spread before my view,
And, all the ways of sustaining faith
To Hope are bent anew;
The while my soul, as Gagged bird set free,
Springs upward in its flight,
And leaves my body in the care of Sleep,
All through the silent night.

Let the Air In

near Mt. Airy, Georgia $4,000 has
been appropriated for the establish
ment of this sanitarium and $4,000
more will be made available later.
Now that we are getting away from
the theories that heredity was the
chief cause of consumption and that
there were but certain localities
whose climate might effect a cure of
the consumptive, it should be the
shame of the South if a native case
be found her after a decade or so.
A constant supply of fresh air and
plenty of food and exercise will eradi-
cate the scourge in time. Meanwhile,
it should be preached to the people
to get as much sunlight and air as
possible in the homes; and instead of
cutting but one or two windows per
room, why not make every roof in
dwelling literal "sun parlor," abol-
ishlng dark, damp rooms in winter
and giving free sweep of air all the
time? Entering the most airy room
at present from outdoors, or even
from the porch, and it is some time
before one becomes accustomed to
the first stifed feeling. This could
easily be changed by building houses
in better accord with the need of
oxygen. Substitute doors and Win
dows for solid walls and the next gen.
GRAFTON would be stronger in every
respect. Not only actual disease, but
much of the neurasthenia and general
malaise would be overcome by giving
humanity fair chance to breathe.
Where one house is properly venti-
lated, especially at night, hundred

is both amusing and pathetic to listen
to the average closely settled neigh
borhood preparing to retire" Slam,
go the shutters, bang the windows,
and click-click the catches to hold
them down. Then the gates are
latched, the doors locked, barred and
bolted and perhaps even the tran
SONS tight shut. Most of this is due
to mere habit. In many a home the
last tender goodnight consists of an
anxious: did you lock the back
door," or "are you sure the pantry
windows DOWN." If these things
are not done, certain members of the
family wouldn't get wink of sleep
for fear of being carried off bodily
before morning. 1t is a most deplor-
able form of slavery-this utter de-
pendence upon positive assurance
that every crack and crevice is closed
as though one were beleaguered by
enemies of diabolical cunning. Not
only does it lower the standard of
vigor the race might otherwise at
tain, but it perpetuates the old terror
of the dark and instills fear into the
minds of little children.
Timidity like love, grows by what
it feeds upon and it seems to me most
regrettable that girls are literally
taught to be towards. Prudence was
certainly seldom more required than
