THE PROSPERITY DISrENsAsY.
Return OF the Respondents Filed with the
Supreme Court.

Blease & Hunt, who represent the
Newberry County Board Of Control,
have filed their return in the Prosperity
dispensary matter with tho Supreme
Court. The return contends that the
election for against the establishment
of the dispensary was held according to
law and the vote was in favor OF the
dispensary. 1t is further held that the
court has no jurisdiction to determine
TIE matters at issue, and prays that the
proceedings be dismissed.
The court has set January I, 1901, at
$50 p. m, as the time for hearing the
case. sc.--Columbia Record, Dec. II.

Columbia, December 15.--Special !:
1t is remarkable how veil the busi-
ness Of tho State dispe nsary keeps
up. Although it may DO regarded
IA "a stop towards prohibit on" the
Stato disponsary il now doing the
largest business within it's history
This is largely accounted for by the
gradual starving out Of the illicit
business.
Commissioners Crum states that the
shipments Of tho dlspensary aggre
gate $l4,5O0 Il day, and the dspen-
sers throughout the State arc clamor
ing for moro liquor and insisting
that they ought to have moro stock.
1t is to be remembered that the
State now has on hand in tho various
dispensnries threo to four hundred
thousand dollars worth Of stock.
| Commits oner Crum says that the
heaviest domunds arc for tho cheaper
grades Of liquor. Tho demand for
"whito" corn is particularly heavy
MIR. Crum snys thut it is somewhat
peculiar that tho upper counties in.
sist upon having white" corn and
tho lower counties Of tho State want
"yellow" corn.
The State dlspensary seems to be
doing very heavy business in case
goods, and it would appear as a
strictly business matter that now
that tho dispensary has complete
monopoly it ought to be able to bot
tie its own liquor aud get out it's own
special brands if they have to be got
ton out. 1t may bo worry we'll to
handle few we'll known brands,
but it does seem ridiculous for the
dispensary to be introducing new
grades of case goods at almost every
meeting of the board. 1t is to be
remembered that case goods come
higher than barrel goods to the State
dispensary as well as to the consu.

Tho above statement Of the Superin-
tendent shows in condensed form the
work dono by the Board OF Public
Works from tho installation Of the
Electric Light and Water Works Plant
In 1907 to Sept. 1900. 1t shows that
from tho sale OF bonds, &c, $42,6792l
was realized, and that tho cost OF the
Plant as turned over to tho Board
amounted to s3o,S52.7l leaving a bal
anco on hand OF s2,826.5O.
With this balance, and tho revenue
collected from private consumers OF
wator and incandescent lights, and tho
city for the Use of water, and tho arc
lights, and the profits arising from the
lighting OF houses. and connecting
sarno with tho electric system and con-
Meeting private consumers with the
wator system, the board has been able
to expend In extensions on tho water
and light plant and permanent i'm
provomonts the sum of $4,8l465, show
Ing an approximate not revenue over
expenses OF $2,0l8.l5.
The Board would report that the
reservoir, estimated to cost 81, 100 has
mover boon received, and that there is
pressing need that n good substantial
now rcsurvoir should be built. And as
thoro Is pressing and constant de-
mand upon the Board, that the Water
Mains and Electric Light Plant be 80
extended that all taxpayers may have
equal access to, and use OF same, thus
giving TO all Taxpayers equal privi-
leges, and the city an increased rc"e-
nue thereby.
Tho Board:would request council to
take such action as may be best to bring
this matter up before the citizens.
For there Is no fund upon which the
Board can draw to make extensions and
improvements, as they arc furnishing,
as 1t was contemplated, lights and
water at nearly actual cost, at ratios
lower than arc charged In neighb boring
cities, and unless some action upon this
subject Is taken at once, as tho Board
has already proposed to tho council
They Will either have 20 ask the coun-
oil to make tho necessary approprIa-
tione Tor these extensions, or tho Board
Will have to increase the rates charged
tho council for tho year 1900, the ratio
proposed to the town WAS $l8 90 for
each fire hydrant, and a70b7 for each
arc light OF 1000 candle power, whom
Greenvillo Is paying 8o5.0O for each arc
light OF 200 candle power, or tho Board
must ask tho city to authorize tho Issue
OF OF, 900 In bonds, to build reservoir
and make the NODDED excursions.
The Board takes pleasure in calling
tho attention OF the city to tho good
condition OF both tho Wator and Elec
trio Light Plants, with tho exception
OF the reservoir, and reiors with pride
that owing to the efficient supervision
OF tho Superintendent, the proper light
