Our Columbia Letter.

COLUMBIA, s. C, Oct. 25, 1897.
It is authoritatively announced that
Comptroller Norton will not
hand in his resignation for some days yet.
There are various matters that have come
up in his office prior to his election, and
he intends to dispose of them before his
resignation. His successor could, in all
probability, make satisfactory disposi-
tion of them, but Mr.. Norton wishes, as
he feels it to be his duty, to settle them
before turning bis books over to the sue
cessful aspirant for his place. However,
the State Board has not met and declared
the result of the recent election in which
the Comptroller-Ge General was the only
candidate for Congress. The delay is due
to Attorney General Barber's illness, he
being confined at his home in Chester.
Just as soon as he returns to the city the
result of the election will be declared and
Comptroller General Norton will receive
his comm ssion as Congressman from the
Sixth District.
The committee appointed by the Legis-
lature to investigate the books OF the Dis
pensary met last week and has made Its
report. The profits have fallen off very
much, and in several places the dispen-
saries are actually losing money, 30 far
as the management Of the chief rum shop
is concerned the committee found no dis
crepancies. A few suggestions are made
in regard to insurance and the bonds of
the various dispensers. some Of which
bonds, in the opinion of the committee,
being entirely too small when compared
with the stock carried by the local dis.
pensary.
Governor Ellerbe is extremely reticent
about the replies to the circulars he sent
to the various ministers OF The State in
regard to the dispensary law. Many
ministers have replied, and what can be
ascertained from fairly reliable sources,
the digest of the reports is for prohibi-
tion. It is safe to say that His E1cellency
has received large number Of temper
ance lectures and sermons, and that here
after he will probably be able to detect
one in the dark by simply feelingit.
