TINE STATE HAS TO BORROW MONEY
The Unusual Heavy Appropriations tho
Causo-Funds VIII Come In Early In
the Fall Covering tho n mount
Now Needed.
THE State, 10th.1

The State of South Carolina, it
appears, is going to find itself COM
pelled to borrow money this year to
meet the running expenses of the
government. There is nothing un-
usual about it, as it has often been
done before The tax levy will raise
all the funds necessary, but thoy
cannot be collected in timo to tide
over the period between the middle
of August and tho fall when the
taxes begin to flow in. The neces-
sity for borrowing comes from tn }
fact that the appropriations this year
have been unusually large, aggre-
eating over q million dollars, and
heavy oalls upon the treasury have
been made from most of them.
Among the large extra items in
the appropriation bill this year may
be named the costly new State col
logo buildings here and elsewhere,
the $4,000 for the Charleston OK.
position, and the $4,000 that has
to be paid into the sinking fund on
the loan for the completion of the
State house.
All obligations could be met cas-
lily later on, but unfortunately no
account Of time has been taken in
the making up of the appropriation
bill.
At present the State has enough
money IN 81 ght to run the machinery
of the government until the middle
of next month, but beyond that time
money will be needed from some
other than the regular source. It
was stated yesterday that arrange
ments are now being made for the
borrowing of not less than 500, 900
at II per cent. This, it is thought,
will carry things along until the
regular tax collections begin to net
results in the fall.
The officials are not worried over
the necessity for borrowing, yet the
necessity for it is regretted.

profits from the liquor business have
folded their tents and journeyed
homeward. None Of them has had
anything further to say about the
matter than was expressed in tho
resolutions adopted yesterday and
published this morning. Exactly
what is expected Of the municipal
authorities Of Charleston docs not
appear very clearly; it seems that
they have to enforce the dispensary
law in Charleston to the satisfaction
of the members Of the board before
that body will let the profits return
to the city. What is necessary to
satisfy the board d: one of the prob
lens that will have to work itsolf out.
Many wero surprised at tho action
takon; yet there wero others who
were in no wise surprised.
1t seems that tho double forco of
constables Is to be kept in Charles
ton for some time, but for how long
it is not known. 1t may be that
tho squads will be continually chang
cd and new mon sent in every wook
for time, and it may be that
special detectives will be sent down
there. The authorities soem to be
determined to see is the illicit sale
of liquor, alleged to be going on, can
not be broken up, and it looks rs if
those in the business are to be given
considerable trouble.
