Annual Report Of thas Directors Of tie DIS.

Columbia, s q. ] anaary Late
tonight the annual report Of the
State Board Of % Of the Dis.
.pensary, covering the years business
of that institution, was made public
by Chairman Williams. 1t readsSas
follows: l.s
To His Excellenoy, Nj. B Mo-
Sweeney, Governor of South Caro-
lima. Welhave the honor to submit
to you, for your information and also
that of the, General Assembly, this,
our report Of the business done by
the dispensary during the fiscal year
closing November 80, 1901;
Examination OF the various ac-
counts attached hereto will show that
the total amountof cost Of liquors,
wines and beer, etc, purchased s
ing the year has amounted to 5$1,& e.
i973.42, and that our gross sales have
amounted to $2,228, ,681.21, exclusive
Of sales of fresh beer by beer dis
pensaries. The net profits Ito the
!State) for amount of the school
,fundsis $3.50, ,962.25.
The net profits that have been
assigned to the counties and towns,
divided equally, are $424,285.8Y,
which makes total net profit of
s545,248.12 forithe year on account
of the school fund ard towns and
counties. -. b. i
We have for some time felt, a seri-
GUS need of more warehouses and
office room, and also for a safe and
commodious fire proof vault for the
storage and preservation of our per-
manent records. Consequently we
have,had constructed more storage
capacity and also q convenient two
story office building with a commodi-
GUS and up-to-date tire-proof vault,
which has cost $14,204.81, besides
other petty improvements. .
The ACT approved February 10,
1900, forbids us to make more than
10 per cent profit on account of the
school funds; and the past year we
have made on that account in round
figures 6 per cent, which leaves only
a very small margin with which to
run the business, and while it is true
that the school fund islconsiderable,.
amounting atpresent to 611,S54.S8,
il is available very slowly for pay
ment to the schools, as that is our
only working capital.
We are gratifed to be able to
show sucha high percentage of net
profits on the total business done !;
especially as the prices of liquors
have been very high on account of
the high price of grains, while we
have not made any advance in the
price to, the consumer. The system
seems to be in very thorough work
ing order in all it's details. 81
Respectfully submitted L.. j..
Williams, Chairman; III. III. Evans,
A. r. II. Dukes, State Board of Di-
rectors.

IN NEW possEss1oNs.

IN NEW POSSESSIONS.
.Dean @. Worcester was but 80
when he became Philippine commis-
sioner few months ago. Arthur
w, Ferguson, the new Secretary Of
State for the Philippines, cannot be
much older, w. It.. Willoughby,
who was made treasurer Of Porto
Rico the other day, is but 81. Heis
a university graduate. Felix Branni-
gan, Treasurer of the Philippines,
and w. Martin Schuster, collector
of customs for the islands, are both
young men.
"There are probably more young
men in higher positions in our scien-
tific institutions than elsewhere.
Prof. Willis L. Moore was in his
thirties when appointed chief of the
weather bureau. AT the age o. 8
he sold newspapers to the soldiers on
the battlefields. He became printer,
reporter, entered thersignal corps Of
the army and rose through every
successive grade before being ap-
pointed professor Of meteorology
in the bureau of which he is now
head. Professor @. f. Marvin be-
came professor of meteorology in the
same service while still in his thirties.
He is now 49,. Fish Commissioner
Bowers was 81 VIXEN appointed and
is still in his thirties. .-s
"The librarian Of Congress was but
81 when commissioned. He is a
university graduate and a lawyer.
DR.. Cyrus Adler became librarian of
the Smithsonian while in his twenties
and is now in his thirties. DR.. It. j..
j. See, professor of astronomy at
the National Observatory, is now
but 35, while DR.. M. j. Rosenau, di-
rector of the hygienio laboratory, is
about the same age"
"Why is there such o demand for
young mcnp"
because they have greater elias
ticity and energy than the older
ones. The young man goes at his
work with more vim and enthusiasm.
Virgil, you remember speaks of the
boat racers who won because they
seemed to win. Their enthusiasm,
the splashing of their oars, set their
adversaries at naught. In battle the
charge made with tremendous speed
is what soatters the enemey. 1t is
now almost impossible for man
above 40 to obtain a high business
position with new firm.
"The young fellow who has
good mental and physical qualifica-
tion to begin with, who is not afraid
Of plenty of hard work and long
hours, who has pleasant, sympathetic
and courteous address, and who is
absolutely square in all of his rela-
tions with his fellow men, is almost
sure to succeed in any pursuit. He
must be discreet--must know what
things should not be talked about.
"In the government there are hun
dreds of bright young men who do
everything they are asked to do, but
no more. These, unfortunately, do.

BOSTON TEA-PARTY BOWL.
Rhode Island Collector Has the Ven~
cradle Relic That Figured in the
Tea Tossing Event.

The famous historical punch bowl
of the Boston tea party has just
fallen into the hands of Rhode Is
land collector of antique furniture,
colonial blue ware and original and
early Shakespeare prints, reports the
Boston Globe.
On the 10Th of last December Mars
den j. Perry, Providence railway
magnate and a banker with a for
tune of several millions, married
Mrs. Marian Lincoln Bogert at
Worcester, Mass, and they went to
Providence to reside permanently in
the residence of Mr.. Perry, at George
and Benefit streets, on the aristo-
cratic East side of that city.
The new home of the bride was
marvel in it's interior decorations,
and there were many very attractive
and costly articles of ornamentation,
together with an elaborate display
of valuable colored ware incidental
to the foundation of the United
States and it's early history. The ex-
istence of such collection in her
new home caused Mrs. Perry to sug-
gest to her wealthy husband that
within his grasp was the celebrated
punch bowl of the revolutionary
period, when high priced and over
taxed tea was cast upon the waters
of Boston bay, and there was cele-
bration and great rejoicing incidental
thereto.
The great men of Boston of that
day had a feast after the tea toss
ing episode, and the affair was not
rounded out in true Yankee fashion
until the punch had all disappeared
from the bowl, which had been fur
nished for the notable occasion by
one of the distinguished ancestors
of the present Mrs. Perry. AS soon
as the Gammell mansion, now under
going regeneration by carpenters,
painters and decorators, is COM
pleted, the punch bowl is to have a
conspicuous place in a great side
board which Mr.. Perry intends to
have constructed, and then there will
be patriotic days when the friends of
the millionaire are to quaff the finest
vintages from the Boston tea party
punch bowl.
The mansion in question is one of
the earliest of the colonial in the
state of Rhode Island, and it fell
into the hands of Mr.. Perry about
year ago. Parts of the house were
constructed more than 100 years ago
and when the trade of New England
was a good deal in the line of rum
and negroes the mansion of the
Browns and their descendants fig
ured in the social life of the town
and the plantations established by
Roger Williams. Hence, when the
Boston tea party punch bowl is final
ly nestled away in Providence it will
have a fitting roof over it's wide
earthenware rim, and the timbers of
the old mansion can vie with the his
tory of the bowl in claims of dis
tinguished pedigree and renown.
The punch bowl it is learned,
came down safely to the days of the
twentieth century through the care
and painstal1ing of the forefathers
of Mrs. Perry. They were the Lin
coins and they have figured in the
history of Massachusetts for quite
a little more than 200 years.
