the restrictions will be more numer-

Male applicants who are under 5 feet

Golden Resolutions.

How many good resolutions are
broken during these January days:
As the midnight bells ring out the
old and ring in the new year, how
many thousands Of penitent inebrlates
promise themselves to lead better lives
and for weeks and days thereafter
struggle manfully against the tyrant
that runs riot through their veins,
But flesh is weak and alcohol is strong
and as the days go by the craving for
drink becomes 50 great that few OF the
struggling thousands can resist it,
and, one by one. they fall hopelessly
into the old ways until another mile
stone shall give them pause. To the
weak but willing among us the Kelley
Institute of South Carolina is a god
send. The gold cure is mot gold that
glitters," but it shines like benedic-
ton in the faces OF the liberated-the
free. Make, by all means, your good
resolutions, but back yourself with the
gold to be had only in South Carolina
at the Kelley Institute in this city

Outstanding against these assets are
Liabilities to the amount of $40, ,253. 67,
which is due by the State for wines

balance of assets above Liabilities of
s242, SIG. 81, which amount represents
the net earned profit to the State at the
close Of the year and this profit has
been placed by the commissioner to
the credit Of the general fund Of the
State. In conformity to clause IN
the new Constitution providing that
all future earnings of the State dispen-
sary shall 60 to the schools Of the
State the commissioner VIII place to
the credit of the school fund all net
earnings which shall hereafter accrue.
From careful analysis of that provl-
sion Of Constitution it will be seen
that the school fund will not be enti-
tied to any portion Of the net earnings
of the dispensary until Dec.
81 OF $243,S16.57 shall have
been covered into the State treasury
to the credit of the general fund
Hence it will be is; months at the ear

State appropriation of $780, 900 has been
refunded from the net earnings of the
dispensary to pay the expenses of the
constitutional convention.
The Governor next states that neces-
sary improvements have been made in

AMENDMENTS.
The governor recommends that two
members of the State Board Of Control
be elected by the Legislature, and then
concludes:
The system of operating dispensaries
since the inauguration OF the new form
of bookkeeping is as near perfect as
you can make it. During the past
year we have discovered three defalca-
tons among county dispensers They
have been reported to the attorney
general and he has entered suit upon
the bonds and commenced criminal
process against the dispensers. It is
but Just to state that these defalcations
occurred during the year previous to
the Inauguration Of the Scruggs' sys-
tenn of bookkeeping. | apprehend no
further trouble on this line.
| I would recommend that the county
supervisor be taken Off the county
board of control, as under the new
Constitution he is Ineligible, and be-
sides the duties Of his Office are incon-
sistent with those of the dispensary
and ii he attends to them properly he
will have but little time to devote to
the business. l desire to impress upon
you the advisability of divorcing the
dispensary from any other office or
State institution, so that the response
bility for its management and success
may not be divided, but rest entirely

The consumption of whiskey has de
creased 47 GO per cent.
Itmust be observed that this decrease
is MOI for the entire period since the
enactment of the law, but for the past
year. Compared with the preceding
year 25 per cent. may be added as a
reasonable estimate for that year. II
is quite encouraging to the friends OF
the law to note the general change OF
sentiment ir most of the towns in its
favor. The country has always been
a unit in favor of it and has demanded

enemies of the system now admit that
morally speaking it is a grand sue
cess.
THE DISPENSARY AS a BUSINESS.
In 1928 there were in the State
So dispensaries. The total amount
purchased by them, S671, 555. 90; sales
at invoice price, $573, 57S.2S total
sales to consumers, S679, 222. IS; gross
profits, sl65, ,355. 40; expenses, sSS, $50,
Is; net profits, $50, 1926.
The operations of the State and
county dispensaries for the past yeal
have been peculiarly successful. The
volume Of business has greatly in
creased. The sales by county dispen
sers for the u months ending Dec. 81
amounted to nearly s1,10, COO. The
net profit that has accrued to the State
from the operation of the State dispen
sary for the II months ending Dec. 81
amounts to 1872, 1917, and the ne1
profits to the towns and counties from
the operations of the sub.dispensaries

give the watchword to north and south
and east and west. Hear and see it,
all people-this call to a forward
movement, this call to repentance and
faith, this call to a continental awak-
ening!
This generation will soon be out Of
sight. Where are the mighty men Of
the past who trod your Pennsylvania
avenue and spake in yonder national
legislature and decided the stupendous
questions of the supreme Judiciary?
Ask the sleepers in the Congressional
cemetery. Ask the mausoleums all
over the land. Their tongues are
speechless, their eyes closed, their
arms folded, their opportunities gone,
their destiny fixed. How soon time
prorogues parliaments, and adjourns
senates, and disbands cabinets, and
empties pulpits, and dismisses genera
lions. What we must do we must do
quickly or not do at all. I call upon
people who cannot come forth from
their sickbeds to implore the heavens
in our behalf from their midnight pill
lows, and l call upon the aged who
cannot, even by the help of their staff,
enter the churches to spend their last
days on earth in supplicating the sal
vation of this nation, and I call upon
all men and women who have been in
furnaces of trouble, as was Shadrach,
and among lions, as was Daniel, and
in dungeons of trouble, as was Jere-
miah, to join in the prayer, and let the
church Of God everywhere lay hold
of the Almighty arm that moves ma
tons.
Then senators of the United States
will announce to the state legislatures
that sent them here, and members Of
the house of representatives will re-
port to the congressional districts that
elected them, and the many thousands
of men and women now and here en-
gagged in the many departments Of
national service will write home, tell
ing all sections of the country that the
Lord is here, and that he is on the
march for the redemption of America.
