c0NFEsSEs TO BRlBE
CAROLINA DIsPENsARY CASE
 TAKES sENsATrONAL TURN.
rerner Member Of Board Admits Charge Of Haying Liquor From Houses Which Onered and
 Pntd Rebates.

Columbia. g. C.. Sept. ss.--After . day of most sensational testimony. during which Joseph B. wyiie. former board. and Henry samueis, mayor Of
 Chester. g.. C.. took the stand. the State this afternoon closed its case In the trial of James s. Farnum. Of Charleston, former liquor dealer and brewer, charged with bribery in con- nectfon with the purchase of liquor for the State dispensary. The argu-
 mefts will be made tomorrow and the
 case probably will reach the jury to- morrow.
 Testifying that hes had. as member
 of the board. voted for purchases from those liquor houses which offered ana paid rebates. Joseph B. Wylie. of Chester. made a clean cut confession, giving not only the details of the transactions in which he received com nifssions from J. S. Farnufn, now on
 trial charged with bribery but also that the whole scheme of commissions
 which had been agreed on.
 He testified that Henry Samueis. now Mayor of Chester. would get the
 money and turn it over to him. Wyiie declared that in eleven
 msds ever, sSssove- in cenmissions on IpurcllRHnR of liuacra ,aas WyIie made tllSse submissions, hs, lfsaf1ned becApee his attorney. had ,ad. yfsea htti 10 ssil tha ruth ana that by doing bo lie would escape being
 prosecHted. ! Afterwards he made a written confession. he said. to Attor-
 ney General Lyon.
 A severe and thdrough examination failed to shake the main portions of Wyfie's testimony
 At the afterhoon session Henry SarpueIs testified that he had .recsiv-
 ed number of checks from Farnum for Wyiie and that he had cashed them
 and turned the money over to wyiie. Samueis denied that he had received
 any part of the money for his services.
 samuels testimony. in the main, was along the same lines as wylie's and corroborated it on most points. The defense attempted to impeacn the character of the witness by having him tell of what he did on some or his
 former visits to this city. Samueis
 said that the only commissions he re- cetved were paid him by the whiskey firms which he had representeo. The States case against Farnum consisted in tracing the progress of q draft from the hands of Farnum. through the Bank of Chester:>to sam
 uels. and back to Farnum's office in Charleston, the proceeds being naia by Samueis to wyiie.
 Tomorrow great forensic battle is expected. when the attorneys-includ-

OPERA IN ENGLISH.
Next Seasons Plan of the Aborn
Organization.

w VahahA%tAAWMs
A novel and excellent plan is to be
pursued by the Aborn English Opera
Company for its coming tour Of tAe
country. This will be the leaving Of the
selection Of their operas TO the theater-
goers themselves IN each city by pop
ular vote. Messrs. Milton and Sargent
Aborn have announced a repertoire in
cluding "LOhengrin," Aida" I'll Trova-
tore" "Cavalleria Rusticana" and L
Pagllacci. in a double bill, Faust.
Carmen Martha Lucia di Lam
mermoor." and "Rigoletto." In an of
the cities where they have been booked
so far for one, two. or three perform
ances, the Messrs. Aborn have imam
gurated a voting test to determine
which Of these operas will please the
greatest number in each city So far.
the largest number Of votes has been
cast for II Trovato-e" "Cavalleria
Rusticana." Lucia di Lammermor."
and Carmen" In the order named.
The Aborn English Grand Opera Com
pany has never before made tour OF
America, its former operations having
been confined to the larger cities East of
the Ohio River, where 1t has won most en-
thusiastic support during the past nine
years. playing seasons Of from four 10
twenty weeks IN each city. This excel
lent organization has never been ION the
road before. and has never PLAYED q
"oDe-night-stand,' so its new venture
on tour this coming season will be quite
an event in operate circles. The aggre-
cation includes seventy-ive singers and
musicians. and will carry two carloads
Of scenery costumes. and effects when
It starts out in September.
