AUGUSTA. GA. July 13.-With De

testimony of alleged grating on the
part of Governor Cole l.. Blease and
others in high station at the South
Carolina state capitol. the hearing Of
the special legislative committee prob
ing South Carolina dispensary affairs
was resumed at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. Detective Burns was on the stand
when the session adjourned last night
and created sensation when he charg
ed that Governor Blease, both as state
senator and as governor, had grated
and that he had dictagraph evidence
to substantiate the charge. Represen-
tative Cary. one of the investigating
committee, asked.
"Will your records (referring to the
dictagraph evidence) show that Cole

governor under the LIQUOR laws of South
Carolina"
Yes. they WILL" replied Burns
But Detective Burns testimony is no

whose especial benefit the hearing was

Owens Declares
System Not Followed.

Commenting on the condition before
the streets committee, John S. Owens,
Atlanta capitalist, who has a part OF
the street paving contract, said:
There is no system by which this
work is taken up The city code spec
ifies that it shall be done in the order
authorized by council. This is not
done. Neither contractors nor proper
ty owners know when a street provided
for pavement will be paved
II offer this suggestion: When
street is started. lay the curb. grade it
and pave it before taking up another
piece Of work The grading crews pump
from one point to another now whether
the work is finished or not"
Councilman j. H. Andrews, a mem
her of the streets committee. declared
that it was not equitable to follow the
code and do the work in the order in
which it was passed up because there
was no system by which council pass
ed up work He said the plan of the
committee was to try and distribute the
work among the wards.

Street Committee Plans Grad
ing of Ivy Street and Other
Big improvements.

That not one foot of the 80 miles
of Sidewalk pavement authorized by
council this year has been laid was the
startling condition barred today The
reason is that the construction depart -
ment has not done the necessary grad
ing for the paving contractors to be-
gin work.
The situation Is made even worse by
the fact that eight miles of curbing has
been laid on the streets designated for
paving. But without the sidewalk
paving every rain washes a great part
OF the paving down.
The construction department has laid
PIP miles Of curbing and sidewalks.
But all of the sidewalk paving was
work passed up by council last year.

Visit From Conservation Official.


Our county is honored by visit from
a representative of the Pennsy lvanis
Conservation Association, which has its
headquarters in Harrisburg, in the per-
son of Mr.. George w. Kehr, secretary of
the association. Mr.. Kehr is being en-
tertained by Hon. n. p. Wheeler of En-
deavor, where he is visiting the camp of
the forestry students from State college
who are making a systematic study of
forestry conditions in this section Of
Pennsylvania. The conservation associa-
ton of this state, as has been stated here
tofore, is enlisted in opposition to the
grant of the water charters in this county
as we'll as all other counties Of the state,
and Mr.. Kehr as its representative, had
a very good opportunity on Monday to
get personal observation OF the country
or section which the water power COM
panies are attempting to grab. In com
pany with Mr.. Wheeler T. +. Ritchey
Esq, Mr.. T. d. Collins and Judge Kreit-
Ter, Mr.. Kehr was driven in the Wheeler
automobile the full length of Tionesta
creek, the party going az far as the p. Il
E. r. r. tracks at Sheffield. before start
ing on the return trip. MIR. Kehr was
thoroughly impressed with the magni-
tude OF industry that Is carried on in
"this most beautiful valley" using his
own description of it, a valley traversed
by the finest dirt road he had found in
the whole state. He was astonished to
find such an evidence of thrift and pros
perity as he saw it on the numerous stops
that we're made along the way and he
thought the opponents of the charter ap-
plicstions had in no case exaggerated the
amount of damage such monstrous dam
would entail, but on the contrary scarce
ly the half had been told, to say nothing
of the far greater danger and menace to
the lives of the people which would ever
be present.
A trip through the industrial establish
ments of Nebraska, Kellettville and May
burg was among the interesting features
Of Secretary Kehr's trip, and meeting
with Capt. J. j. Hsight, who is erecting
a fifty thousand dollar gasolene plant at
Hastings, was another of his pleasing ex-
periences.
When he parted company with the
friends who had accompanied him on
this most interesting trip, Mr.. Kehr ex-
pressed himself as pleased far beyond his
expectations, and it goes without saying
that his report to his conservation asso-
ciates will be a most convincing argument
against the granting of charters to any
capitalists or syndicate that would con-
vert this rich and magnificent valley into
barren waste, destroying our whole coun-
ty, and placing the inhabitants of the en-
tire Allegheny valley under a pail OF
death more horrifying in its aspects than
anything that has ever yet befallen this
country.

Drowned In Mill Pond.

Friends in this community were ap-
prised few days ago of the death by
drowning Of William T. King, at his
home at Merrill. Wisconsin, on Sunday,
l4th inst. Mr.. King, who was brother
of Mrs. II. w. Horner, will be remem-
bered by many Of our citizens as having
spent several days in Tionesta on a visit
to his sister and family during last
Thanksgiving week. OF the tragic end
ing of his life the Merrill Daily Herald of
the 18th gives the following account:
"Shortly before ~ o'clock yesterday it
was reported about town that w. T, King
was dead, and that he had passed away in
the water short time before. About IL
o'clock Mr.. King, in company with DR..
C. c. Walsh, left his residence to go to the
Lemcke drug store to get prescription
filed, which the doctor had just given
him. At the drug store Mr.. King told
the druggist that he would be back in a
short time aud take the medicine home
with him, and pay for the same. He
went directly down toward the power
house of the Lindsuer Pulp Il Manulac-
turing plant. AS he passed the Lincoln
hotel he passed the time of day with
Messrs, j. N. Cotter, Judge Porter and
Merritt Stinson. He evidently had gone
up on the dam in front ofthe power house,
general rendezvous for people going in
swimming on hot days. He had removed
his coat, hat and glasses and had laid
these carefully on the roof OF the power
house. Whether he was overtaken with
dizzy spell-Mr. King had for years
been subject to dizziness-an fell into
the water, or how he got into the mill
race will never be known. When found
shortly after that his body was partly out
of the water and was lying face down
ward. The remains were tenderly car
ried to the home of his brother on Main
street."
The deceased was a veteran of the civil
war, man ofexcellent qualities of mind
and heart, greatly beloved and respected
by all who knew him. He was aged g.
years, and besides an adopted daughter
he is survived by one brother, Edward S,
King of Merrill, Wis, and one sister
Mrs. II. w. Horner, residing at Warren
Pa The latter and her three daughters
| Mrs. Edward Gerow of Warren, Mrs. A.
II. Gallup of Youngsyille, and Mrs. X. A,
Fulton of Tionesta, went to Merrill to at.
| tend the funeral.
