Mr.. Clark also produced an analysis
of Hunter rye. which set out that the
whiskey Is good stun and has the
characteristics OF genuine whiskey.
He had sent to a laboratory a bottle
OF the rye and a partial examination
was made; "a more complete analysis
is to be produced later on. This
chemist stated in a letter which was
read to the commission today that he
knew Of no test by which the constit-
uent parts of whiskey could be sep
erated. that he would like to know
OF such a test, but fears that none ex-
lists.
Col. Fielder objected to the state
ment Of the chemist. He said that
there are variances between the ana
lysis of chemists, and this should be
by the commission. He
has heard that whiskey expert is in
this city now and will have him be-
fore the commission to testify.
The Lanahan matter was brought

asked about the formula for Hunter
rye being brought here. He stated
that an executive session might be

GLASS COMPANY CLAIM,
WAS ARGUED FRIDAY BEFORE
DISPENSARY COMMISSION.
Gen. Anderson Very POintetl--Claims
That the Company Was Organized
To Run Out Competition and They
Boosted Pri es

| Columbia, June 19.-The case of
the Carolina Glass Company was
argued yesterday before the dispen-
sary commission. Very little new evs-
dence was submitted at this session.
and there may be no more evidence
to be submitted. In the argument
yesterday Gen. Clifford L. Anderson
distinguished himself. Gen. Anderson
some two years ago was offered a
place on the Supreme Court bench in
Georgia but declined. He yesterday
proved his reputation as a lawyer Of
analytical mind.
1T was announced in The State yes
tcrday that w. B. Smith Whaley was
In the city and efforts were made to
get him to tell the commission what
he knew of the history Of the glass
company, but he had left on ain early
train.
Gen. Anderson in opening the argu-
ment laid down the broad statement
that instead of the State Uf South
Carolina owing the glass company
anything. that concern is Indebted to
the State. He alleged that the glass
company was conceived in a spirit to
defraud the State.
In proof of this he cited the affi-
davits of Brevard d. Miller, who with
w. b. S. Whaley first proposed the
building Of the glass factory. Mr..
Miller had declared that he had drop
ped out Of the organization because
the majority wished to give a block
OF stock to L. j. Williams and an
other to III. H. Evans, then members
OF the board, said stock to be carried
under the name Of w. G. Childs as
trustee. There is no direct evidence
to show that this compact was ever
carried out, but there Is corrobora-
tive circmstantial evidence, Gen. An
cerson claimed. He declared that the
stockholders would never have put
100000 into such a precarious enter
prise had they not had some idea that
their bids would be accepted. The
first act was to get the dispensary to
put in an order on borrowed SAM
pies" before the glass company ever
started It's fumes, and this was a vio-
lation of the laws which required that
all bids be submitted with samples.
The next act was to buy the unexpir-
ed Flaccus contract for % cars. This
was for the purpose of sitting compe-
tition.
The Flaccus Company had received
all award in January. 1900, and this
was In August, 1902. The Flaccus
Company had been given an award Of
$50 cars which lasted for all of this
time and had not yet been filled.
There was no competitive bidding af-
ter the first one or two awards and
the glass company practically had q

go" 81 iouudhy raised the
prices. Gen. Anderson claimed thar
OH a certain basis of prices the State
had been overcharged s24O.OO0. on
another basis it was an overcharpe of
$4,000 and finally, on basis of the
average of prices submitted. the over-
charge was $4,000.
Mr. Lyles made a very strong areu-
ment in reply. He said that the chair
man Of the dispensary board. Mr.. T.
). Williams, months before the glass
company was organized, had declared
TO the dispensary management abe
difficulty In getting supplies of glass.
The glass business is like nothing else
The furnaces are shut down through
the summer and unless the orders are
placed considerably in advance thew
may not be filed.
He admitted the transaction with
Flaccus, but declared that the State
board had declared that Flaccus had
already delivered more than the num-
Der Of cars named in the contract
and that the Carolina Glass Company
really had paid $1,000 for something
1t did not get. Why, then. should it
now be required to make good? The
Flaccus people had construed their
contract to mean $50 cars of 1860
cases each, but the dispensary board
had declared $50 cases to be its idea
Of carload.
Mr. Lyles contended further that it
was unfair to make comparisons with
sales to parties in other States, for
the dispensary quart bottles weighed
IL ounces each and the ware sold to
other customers weighed but 10
ounces each.
Mr.. Lyles concluded with an earn
est argument to show that no unfair
Or illegal profits had been charged
and that the glass company really had
but moderate success.
Mr.. Lyles derided the Brevard Nil
ler affidavit which he declared to have
been contradicted by the testimony Of
some OF the most reliable men of the
State. Furthermore he declared that
Mr.. W. g. Childs had stated on the
witness stand that his account as
trustee" had been on behalf Of his
minor children.
Gen. Anderson in reply made STIR
ring arraignment of conditions. He
isisted that Brevard MilIers affida-
vi! instead Of being contradicted sue
cessfully had really been strengthen
ed. He declared that the evidence Of
". G. Childs had not been satisfying
and that there was in evidence a let
ter from seibels to Miller showing
that H. H. Evans and T. J. Williams
had indicated that they would be kind
to this intent industry.
He made a very careful argument
in which he took up a great many
other details.
The commission now has the case
under advfsement.

This claim has been very much dis

recently. The amount Of the claim Is
$23.013.75. and the contention of the
glass company Is that the State was
not overcharged. There was a great

by the legislative committee, which
has been brought up again. The con-
tention Of the State was outlined by
Gen. Anderson, who conducted the
matter this afternoon for the State.

MISS SANFORD
TO TEACHERS
Queen of Hearts of Minnesota
School Nam Gives
Good Counsel.
Redwood County Teachers in
Council Improve. Their
Opportunities.

The Gazette has repeatedly called
attention to the high quality of the
teaching talent of Redwood county,
as shown by the annual reports.
The evidence of such high grade tai
ent was apparent in the gathering of
teachers from all parts of the county
last week. On account of the bad
roads in some parts of the county
not easy of access by railroad facili-
ties. the attendance was not quite as
large as hoped for, being not much
over fifty, but the facts brought out
were worth coming for. judging
from the expressions heard since the
meeting.
The presence of Supt. Howard of
Olmstead county during the sessions
and the opportunity to hear that
charming veteran teacher. Prof.
Maria Stanford, were greatly appre-
ciated by all. Supt. Patchin of
Springfield made an effort to fill his
engagement here, but was prevent
ed by railroad wreck which inter-
fered with railroad connections at
Sleepy Eye.
On account of the illness of Miss
Sanford the past few months, her
ability to appear here was in doubt
in the minds of some, but Miss San
ford was on hand, and while not as
strong as she was twenty years ago,
when she first appeared here, her
wonderfully sympathetic voice rang
just as true and friendly and helpful
as ever.
Friday evening Miss Sanford
talked to a large audience at the M.
E. church, preaching a short SER
mon, as she was pleased to call it, on
the higher life. The sermon demon
strated that the speakers naturally
cheerful and optimistic spirit had not
not been warped or soured by her
recent illness, her emphasis on the
part that JOY and cheerfulness should
have in the higher life being among
the best points made by her in her
little sermon, which was followed by
readings from the poets of selections
| in harmony with her theme.

BILLY SUNDAY
IS ASSAULTED
EVANGELIST Strikes Back When
Attacked by Lunatic
With Whip.
People of Springfield, H., are
Excited by Sensational
Incident.

Press dispatches last Saturday
gave an extended account of an as
sault made on Evangelist Sunday at
Springfield, ILL.,, by one Sherman
Potts, who said he had been
an inmate of the Jacksonville
hospital for the insane, and who OBJ
jects to Sunday and is now in the
county Jail at Springfield for the as
sault. According to the Pioneer
account, the evangelist had just
made his opening remarks, and was
leaning against the pulpit on an ele-
waited platform while a hymn was
sung by Fischer and Butler, his choir
leaders, and Miss Edith Anderson, a
soprano of Springfield, when Potts,
a powerful man sprang forward and
struck Mr.. Sunday several terrific
blows with his whip.
Sunday leaped from the platform
and dashed at his assailant, whom
he knocked down in the center aisle.
The audience was on the verge of a
panic, with women weeping and
children screaming, while Potts and
Sunday rolled and tumbled in the
aisle.
Mr.. Fisher directed the choir and
the audience to sing, and in few
moments the entire audience was

Several men soon seized Potts and
they held him until a policeman came
and took him to Jail. Mr.. Sunday
said he suffered several painful
bruises from the buggy whip.
At the county Jail Potts said that
he attacked Sunday because the
evangelist made statements in his
sermons which were not proper.

The friends of Mrs. Levi Charter
of this city were startled last Sunday
by the announcement of her sudden
death that morning. 1t appears that
while she had been slightly ailing
for week or so, Mrs. Charter had
not felt badly enough to call a doc
tor until last Saturday evening,
when the family physician paid her
a call and finding nothing alarming
about her symptoms, left some simple
directions and departed. Sunday
morning, about 6 o'clock, Mrs
Charter passed away with scarcely
struggle, a victim of appoplexy.
Mrs. Charter was born Magdelia
Buery, in 1861, and was the sister of
Henry Buery, who lives near Morton,
at which place she was married to
Levi Charter in May of 1892. Her
death leaves, besides her bereaved
husband, two motherless boys. the
oldest about Is, two married sisters
and two brothers, George and
Henry.
