DISPENSER Erwin Makes a Good Showing.

Editor The ZINES:
Chairman Haselden, in his report
to the State Board of Control, at
their meeting on the Sth inst, called
the attention of the board to the
item of breakage as exhibited in the
accounts of dispensers throughout
the State. He cites the names OF
four whose accounts show the hlgn-
est percentage and four whose ac-
counts show the lowest for the same
month.
Mr.. Haselden did not include the
Manning dispenSary in either cate
CORY, and naturally | had some curl
osity to know how the dispensary l
am conducting would compare with
those he mentioned as TO this item of
loss. The figures were at hand on
my books, and as my fellow-citizenS
may also have some desire to know
what showing their local dispensary
can make, in this connection | will
make a statement for their inforlna-
ton.
This item OF breakage is Q knotty
problem to handle. as it must Of ne
cessity be left almost entirely to the
honor Of the dispenser, for 1t IS I'M
possible for one or more members OF
the County Board TO be present at
the opening up of each shipment re-
ceived and note the number OF bro
ken bottles. Probably the best way
would be to find an average from the
accounts of the most reliable dlspen-
sers and then fix a maximum per
centage allowance for breahage.
The honest dispenser would continue
to charge up actual breakage only
and the dishonest, if any, could not
exceed the limit fixed.
The following are the four dispen-
sers cited by Mr.. Haselden as having
the highest percentage OF breakage
for the month Of April, 1898:
w. j. Mott, Charleston, purchases,
$19I70; breakage, $12.9 about 6 per
cent.
Mt. Pleasant dispenSary,purchases,
$414.05, breakage, S3.23; about i per
cent,
Chester diSpenSary, pure has s,
$S29.1S: breakage, 5000; about 8:
per cent.
Kingstree dispensary, purchases,
$953.07 breakage, S15.30; about /:
per cent.
The following are those cited as
showing the lowest percentage OF
breakage for the same month, April:
Marion diSpensary, purchases, 81
or. 80; breakage, $9.3S; nearly l per
cent. This amount of nearly per
cent. is true Of Lancaster and j. H.
Hill of Greenville Aiken is the
model in the line of breallage Of the
entire State; her breakage is .one-
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1898-06-15

Breakage, little over 10 per cent.
Breakage occurs in the following
ways: In transit from State dispen-
sary to county dispensary, during
which transit each case is handled
six or eight times, and as the hand
ling by railroad hands and draymen
is extremely rough it is to be eNpec-
ted that the breakage item will be
large. Then, after reaching desti-
nation and is opened up, a change ID
temperature from hot to cold or from
cold to hot, will cause the loss Of sew
eral bottles that break from eXpan-
sion or contraction as the case may
be. Then, again, a bottle Of beer or
ale or porter will blow out its cork
and the contents be lost. All of this
goes to swell the item Of breakage
which is charged to the expense ac-
count and is deducted from the prof
its that so to the town and county.
From my five years, experience as
dispenser don't think that break
age, as Mr.. Haselden says. should av-
erage over per cent. The average
with the Manning dispensary, as
shown by statements above, is less
than 10 per cent.

Editor The TINES:
The battalion is still at SLandon and
likely to remain here for some time. This
time last week We were certain that the
bows would have tae honor Of dining with
the President ere this. The major is still
in hopes that we will be assigned to Gen.
Buffers command: the men. too. are Very
auxious to be under him. just as soon Us
the battalion is complete we will get orders
and not before There are now 81 recruits
that have passed the examination and 65
more ready to be examined. This CON-
panv will be mustered in with the required
number, lO6 There is 90 telling who will
be the commissioned officers. You may
talk about politicians, but those seeking
these positions beat them ten to one.
We were all glad to see Mrs. ". G. Davis
md Mrs. J. E Kelly; their husbands being
so confident that they wo"ll leave here
last week, teleeraphed for them. The cap
tain's wife is the most patriotic lady your
correspondent has seen since the war COM
menced. II she could induce others to
ioin US We woall appreciate it very much.

Of course we would much prefer the boys
from home.
When the battalion leaves. a commits
stoned officer and one enlisted man from
each company Will be left to recruit the
companies. Adjutant Gonzales has been
appointed already and the others will he
appointed later on.
What we want now is rain; the dust / 5
terrible and nearly every man has a cold.
The farmers in these parts are very blue
Our water supply is scarce; the water for
cooking purposes is hauled here from u
town.
The city IS very anxious for the govern
ment to make Columbia a place Of rendez.
vous for about 80 600 troops. How can she
expect to get it, when our first regiment
and battalion could and cannot get from
them a place with sufficient water for drink
ing and bathing purposes and place large
enough to drill on: The battalion would
not be so anxious to leave if the merchants
would take enough interest in them by
furnishing the proper implements for
q drill ground and pool to bathe in. 1t
is to their interest to keep US here as long
as possible. None of them will deny that
their sales have increased. Then why not
keep US here and furnish those things
which are SO much needed:
