If Edgefeld gets Dispensary
the first order for liquors will run
about as follows: 500 half pints,
800 pints, 200 quarts, 100 gallons,

be enough to feel of the business.
In our Judgment the sales of
liquors under the. Dispensary sys-
tenn will be not more than half
5 what they were in the bar-rooms.
Some people. might call this a
blessing in disguise, but we don't
see any disguise about it.
