May Appeal To Courts

In regard to what wonld happen if
the new dispensary commission should
undertake to carry out Governor
Blease's Instructions and investigate
the old commission, consisting of DR..
W. J. Murray and Messrs. John Nc
Sween, Avery Patton, J. S. Brice and
A. N. Wood, the Spartanburg Herald
prints u dispatch from it's Columbia
correspondendep which is said to be
based on information "from I'D au-
thoritajive source"
The dispatch is as follows:
Should Governor Blease attempt to
investigate the old dispensary wind
ing-up commission with his new COM
mission the case would be carried to
the supreme court. No official state
ment has been made yet it is known
from an authoritative source the old
commission or others that might be
summoned to appear would resort to
the supreme court as the dispensary
investigating act does not give the new
commission the right to make such an
investigation.
''The members of the old dispen-
sary commission desire to be investi-
gated by alegislative committee which
was provided for by an act of the last
general assembly and which was Veto
ed by the governor.
"Those acquainted with the law
governing the investigating act say
that Governor Blease did not have the
right to request the new commission to
investigate the old commission. The
commission can only investigate the
affairs of the old State dspensary.
''T. B. Fielder, the Atlanta attorney
has been inyited to appear before the
commission and tel what he knows Of
the dispensary situation. There is
no law to force T. B. Fielder to appear.
"When Governor Blease commits
stoned the new commission he said
that he had instructed the members to
open court and receive testimony as
to the work and affairs of the old COM
mission, He even turned over 'his
mountain of testimony to the COM
mission and asked that they intesti-
gate the charges that he made in his
special message to the general assem-
bly,.
''The members of the old commits
sion may petition the general assem-
bly, to pass the investigating act over
the veto of the governor and give them
the privilege of being investigated as
demanded by the governor.

Of the establishment. Here the ladies
flock from every part of the State to
see and be seen, to meet their friends
from distant towns and to talk over
the seasons newest styles in ladies'
heaGwear. Here are the most exc oEisite
styles, the most stunning designs ever
made by the dearest os all Gods crea-
tures-woman. The prices are & little
higher than usual, but Mimnaugh's
prices are lower than you viii ind
elsewhere.
The other departments are bubbiing
over with Easter and Spring goods,

been shown in Columbia.
Manager Weeks is the busiest man
in the store, but he is meeting the
situation with characteristic energy,
and nobody goes out Of Mimnaugh's
store without being thoroughly salts
fied-satisfied with their purchases
and singing the praises Of the big

Listened Because She Knew the
Family of Lorimer.

WASHINGTON, jury miss Frances
Carroll, telephone operator in the office OF
Edward Hines Lumber company, Chicago,
and Fred Carney Of the Carney Lumber
company, Marinette. wis, were leading
witnesses today before the Lorimer investi-
eating committee.
Both corroborated portions of testimony
given by Edward Hines of Chicago. The
committee. having in view a recess next
week, excused, subject to call, the three
detectives who Clarence S. Funk said were
shadowing him
Miss Carroll declared that she overheard
the long distance talks Mr. Hines held with
Governor Deneen at Springfield on the
day Lorimer was elected and repeated the
conversation as Mr.. Hines had done.
She denied that Mr.. Hines said he would
come to Springfield with all the money
needed to elect Lorimer, as others have
testified.
Can you say you remember this CONVEX
sation?" inquired Attorney Farrar.
''Well. as 1t was the first time had ever
had Governor Deneen on the wire, l lis
tened" After pause she added:
II have lived in Senator Lorimers dis
trict and know his family, and it certainly
was very interesting conversation and
palu particular attentlOn 10 IL.
On cross-examination, however, she was
unable to recall the date or substance of
any other long distance conversations Mr..
Hines had had in the ten years she had
been in his employment.
Carney's testimony agreed with Hines
description Of how Funk approached him at
the Union League club. 1t was in this con-
versation that Funk declared Hines asked
him to contribute to a Lorimer election
fund, whereas Hines testified that Funk
asked for the privilege Of contributing to
such q fund. Mr.. Carney said he heard
nothing Of the conversation.
The committee decided to take a recess
from this afternoon till July IS, when 1t will
reconvene in Washington, instead Of Chi
cago. as originally planned. to resume
hearings
Mr.. Carney testified that he did not know
It was Funk who talked to him at the
Union League club on May q, 1909, until
Hines later told him.

fellow to be holding down big job, is it?'
Mr.. Carney testified Hines had remarked
to him after the conversation.
