# is not altogether easy to prove that con
seryatism is your only wear in boOkDndnS'
Merely to appeal to the standards of the Old
masters savors of arbitrary opposition to prog
ross Yet disinterested reflection on those
same standards will go far to convince the
student that they teach, after ALL a pretty
conclusive lesson. Several centuries OF labor
have gone to show that simplicity and reserve
in binding result in matchless beauty, and that
these qualities, in some subtle way, harmonic
better than any others with what can only be
described as the genius Of a library. The great
binders have often let themselves go, weaving
rich patterns of line, but even in their most
flord moods they have generally remained es-
sentially linear designers and they have kept
their taste pure The trouble with NJ Meunier's
charming hypothesis is that it lures the crafts
man into using decorative motives which some
how seem incongruous. They may interpret
the spirit of the book well enough. but they do
violence to the spirit of the binders art Again
we observe that it is little difficult to enforce
this point, for its validity rests rather on an
instinct felt by generations of connoSseuTS
than on any formulat ted laws Of criticism. Per
haps as convenient way as any other OF
arguing the matter is to say that the kind CT
binding advocated by NJ Meunier is apt to par
take of the nature OF a pictorial conception,
and pictures belong in world of their own
having nothing to do with bOokbinding.

HARVEST FAIR
 PIANO CONTEST
Who Will Get the Splendid Instrument
 Offered D. Reed Music Co.

\ great deal of interest is being manifested far and wide in the piano contest which is being conducted by the Reed Music Co., in connection with the OuachIta Valley Harvest Fair. Al though the contest has been on bur a short time Mir Reed informs us that he is getting lists from all over the state and northern Louisiana.
 The Live Wire would like to see this splendid prize stay in Ouachita county, but it is evident that if ole of our fair ladies win it, there will have to be some hard work done. We hope the contestants in our county will put forth unusual effort for it. is not often that such a splendid gift is made ab- solutely free. We want to see this piano in possession of a Ouachita county lady at the close of the con- test.
 Thus far the contest has been eN- tremely successful and Mr. Reed says that the indications are that during the closing days he will have to put on an extra force of clerks to take care of the correspondence incident to the contest There is one cons ola tion for all the contestants and that if they unfortunately fail to win the capital prize. yet are many other prizes that probably all who put forth earnest effort will be amply rnntit. for their labor

The train will leave the Union Station at s o'clock Tuesday morning, October 19. running about half an hour ahead of the schedule of the regular Iron Mountain passenger.
 AS special feature the aerie will be accompanied by the Second Re9i- ment Band, the crack musical organi- zation of it's kind in the state. The delegation will also take with it the aeries much-prized comic soliphone band, the leader of which masqnerades under the euphoniGus appellation of Professor kibosh

only difference that can be drawn.
Aside from the fact that the money
has been rendered the State, it was
very difficult to obtain any official in
formation.
It was known recently that there
was a secret meeting of the dispen-
sary commission, and very probably
this matter came up at the time.
There is speculation as 70 what
effect that $4,000 "money" tender
will have upon the alleged graft
trials The effect upon the other
Farnum cases cannot be forecasted. 1t
can easily be guessed, though, that
no immunity is guaranteed wher the
commission accepts the 100000. 1t
might be added. however. that an
other good guess is that one. Of the
Bernheim people would be prosecuted.
The proposition they advance Is falr
enough on its face, return to the
State Of $4,000. when no claim is
outstanding. and this in comparison
with a figuring upon the alleged re-
bate schedule that would look some
thing like $4,000 for alleged over
charges. That looks pretty good for
South Carolina.
This case that is brought tonight
is but one Of the many matters that
the State dispensary investigation has
brought about. What the moral ef-
feet will be can not be estimated, but
the State of South Carolina Is $3O,-
600 to the good. As brought out be-
fore the dispensary winding-up COM
mission the Berheim Company was
ole Of the trio including also the Big
Four people, and one other concern,
all of which the commission was dis
posed TO class as one concern. In the
present transaction a conference OF
attorneys was held. and many other
"details which probably Will be
brought out later.

been working on various firms for
some time to collect what it claims
were overcharges. Suits have been
threatened, and in the case of this
particular firm after various confer
ences and ups and downs the COM
mission has an offer of $4,000 to
settle whatever claim the State may
have for overcharges.
When the old State dispensary
went to the wall there was nothing
due Bernheim and the understanding
is that this offer to pay the State
thirty thousand dollars is a result
Of the investigation Of old accounts.
The commission had no claim Of the
firm for balance due. DR.. Murray
tonight suggested that the commits
sion had high hopes Of getting this
money on the basis Of the offer, and
thai in addition there are other firms
that did their full share of overcharg-
Ing. and it was hoped that they would
see the situation III the same light
and they could return the money tc
the State and charge it up to "con-
science money! or whatever else
they wish.
The winding-up commission has not
paid the liquor houses cent since
they were taken into the Federal
Courts and the fund is growing,and the
schools will get a good nest egg.

DISTILLING COMPANY
MAKES RESTITUTION
WILL REFUND $4,000 TO THIS
STATE.
Although the Winding-Up Commis-

Charges Against the Com

News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Columbia, September 27.-Follow-
ing a conference last week between
the winding-up commission of the
old State dispensary and the repre-
sentatives Of the Bernheim Distilling
Company. of Louisville. KY, the com
pany to-day announced that 1t Will
refund TO the State overcharges on
LIQUOR amounting to $4,000. The
company, which was represented be-
fore the old State board of control 10y
James s. Farnum, acquitted Satur-
day Of bribing Jos. B. Wylie, then
a member of the purchasing board,
10 give the concerns represented by
FarRum the preference IN purchas-
ing liquors, admits the overcharges
and says it is willing to make good
this much of the States loss.
, The refund is voluntary OH the
nart Of the company, as the old State
dispensary board Of control had ef-
fected a complete settlement with the
concern before the winding-up COM
mission took charge Of the affairs OF
the dispensary when that institution
was legislated out of existence, and
the company never has put IN a CLAIM
for money due it for the liquors sold
70 the dispensary. as has been done
bv many of the other houses. which
had been awarded contracts for IL
Quors.
ATTORNEY General Lyon was asked
about the matter tonight. lie SAID
that the facts in the case were that
the Bernheim Distilling company had
offered to the dispensary commission
$4,000, and that the money Is on
deposit in the Louisville banks. The
fact that this company wished to turn
over this large sum OF n1-- ay came
over the telephone to-day from the
Atlanta firm Of Anderson, Fielder.
Pourtree and Wilson. 1t Is under
stood. though not obtained officially,
that Eh, Atlanta firm secured the set
.tlement, but it also appears that the
money comes voluntarily. The mat
ter IS settled now. and the money be-
longs to the State Of South Carolina
The remarkable part OF the whole
transaction is that the Berhelm tlrm
had no claim against the State OF
South Carolina.
The money that the State owed tins
firm had been previously paid up and
the books were closed. To offer S5o.-
900, and then to turn the money oven
is clearly an admission that there
were overcharges.
Although there had been genera
understanding that some Of the whls
kew firms might possibly "cough up
this transaction is Il new one IN lts
nature. 1t is known that James >
Farnum represented the Berhelm hrn
here during the days OF the State
disoensary. In the recent trial O

testimony that this was one Of th'
