THE DIsPENsARY BUSINESS.

According to the report of the South
Carolina Dispensary Commissioners
the dispensary of that state is doing
thriving business. We haven't the
figures for the previous year for com
parison with those of last year, but
the inference from what the commits
sioners say is that the sale of beer
and liquors is steadily increasing. This
is accounted for perhaps on the ground
that there are fewer blind tigers"
than there were-that is, the people
are patronizing the dispensaries rather
than those who are selling liquors
eptitiously, finding that they can
get a better article at less cost from
them. According to the report of the
commissioners the sales last year
amounted to $2,S2s.6s121. For these
goods the amount paid was $1,617,-
937.47, showing net profit of $545,
24s42.
If we understand the distribution of
this money the school fund gets all
of it, about a third of it going to the
general school fund and the other part
of it being divided between the coun-
ties and towns in proportion to the
amount collected in each.
1t would be interesting to know
whether the dspensary system has
had any effect in the direction OF
temperance. Is there less drunkenness
in the state than there was before
the establishment of dspensaries? In
view of the fact that the state regu-
lates the sale of intoxicants, and does
not permit drinking in the dispen-
saries, 1t is reasonable to suppose that
there has been a great falling off in
the amount OF drunkenness.
The practice of treating is one OF
the greatest causes of excessive drink
ing. Because of that practice men
drink a great deal more than they
otherwise would. The saloon encour-
ages it. Now that the saloon is a
thing of the past in South Carolina
there ought to be a very noticeable
decline in the amount of intoxicants
consumed, and also in the amount OF
drunkenness.
1t is noticeable that the prohibition
sentiment is not so strong i'm that state
as it was. or, il it is. 1t is not so much
in evidence. Are the prohibitionists
simply waiting to see whether or not
under the dispensary system, there has
been distinct advance towards tenn

Gen. E. P. Alexander has written a
letter to a friend setting forth several
reasons why the Nicaragua route for
an isthmian canal is preferable to the
Panama route which is attracting some
attention.
Two of them appear to be new. AT
least one of them is. He says, for
instance, that a Panama canal would
not be at all satisfactory for sailing
vessels. Panama is at the head of a
gulf, TO get out of which it is neces-
sary TO sail down two degrees and
then sail back again. It is out of the
Influence of trade winds, and it is
therefore extremely difficult for sail
ing vessels to get away from it. Saih
ors would rather visit any other port
in the world. Besides, both Colon and
Panama are extremely unhealthy.
The principal reason, however. which
Gen. Alexander gives for favoring the
Nicaragua route is that it is impossi-
bic to predict what Nicaragua's flu
ture will be- and that ii is within the
bounds of probability that she will be
a'century, or, if not, to make arrange
ments with some other country for
building it, An enemy of the United
States might get control of it and
therefore would have a route between
us and our canal if we should build
on the Panama route. An enemy, or
even friendly nation, having an in
side route between the Atlantic and
Pacific would not be helpful to our
interests. of the reasons for choos-
ing the Nicaragua route this is one of
the strongest yet presented.
Indications are cropping out, how
ever, that tremendous effort lis going
to be made to shelve the entire canal
scheme. A few days ago we called
attention to a report that Mr.. Morri-
son, one of the members of the 18th
milan Canal Commission, had said that
there was a probability that the cost
of a canal by the Nicaragua route
might be nearer 81, 600, 900, 900 than $780,,
100000, as reported by the commission.
Now it is said that some of the Re-
publican leaders in the Senate are
saying that there is no doubt that the
canal would cost as much as $50o,0o0,-
900. 1t is evident from these reports
that there is very little confidence in
the estimated cost submitted by the
commission in its report.
1t is probable of course thatsmuch
of the talk of the great cost is inspired
by the agents of the Pacific Railroads.
1t is evident that they have begun
a regular campaign against the canal
project, and that they WELD pow
erful influence there is no doubt

In the death of Judge Robert Fall
CANT, the state has lost a high minded
and patriotic citizen and the city a
son of whom she has reason to be
proud. In war and peace. the best
years Of his life were given to the SER
vice of the public; and in every POSI-
ton he discharged his duties with
| honor and credit As soldier. citizen,
! legislator and jurist he was in close
touch with public life in Georgia from
the first lowering of the war clouds
forty years and more ago until his fatal
illress overlook him. And through all
the troublous, tragic days of war and
reconstruction, Georgia had no more
devoted defender than Robert Fall
giant. His career as a soldier was fauN-
less. None more brave, none more
knlghtly, ever stepped upon the field
of battle. His courage was of that in
flexible, indomitable sort born of con-
Viction of the righteousness of his
cause; for which cause he was ready
and willing to offer the sacrifice of life
itself
Upon the cessation of hostilities be-
tween the states he, with others of the
shattered army of the grey, went to
work to build up the broken fortunes
of the South as bravely as he and they
had fought the Souths enemy. 1t was
gigantic task but Judge Falligant had
the pleasure-and it must have been
a real pleasure to a man of his tenn
perament-of seeing the South rehabil-
itated and rapidly moving forward to
assume her former proud position in
the councils of the nation. AS MEM
Der of the Legislature, in both branches
of which he served, it was a part of
Judge Falligant's task, as a public
state upon the right road to internal
peace and prosperity; and in later
years il was his function to hold, on
the bench which he graced. the scales
of justice with an even hand.
Judge Falligant's was most charm
ing personality. His good humor and
good nature were unfailing, AS a COM
panion and raconteur he was inimita-
BILE. His fund of apropos anecdotes was
apparently without end. Especially was
this true of war stories, which he told
with such fine effect as to compel
laughter or tears as suited the occa-
sion and his mood. Blessed with the
gift Of eloquence, his public speeches
were gems of diction and delivery; they
sparkled with wit, burned with pa
triotism, scared with splendid imagery,
or quivered with pathos, at the speak
er's will.
He was a good citizen, a good man,
a good friend, and in those closer rela-
tons of the family. an ideal husband
and father. He will be missed and sin
cerely mourned.

Before Mr.. Carnegie turned over his
great steel business to the trusts he
had frequently to consult with the
New York corporation lawyer, James
B. Dill, says the Saturday Evening
= Post. One evening Mr.. Carnegie, in
Pittsburg, called up Mr. Dill, at his
club in New York, on the long distance
telephone.
Il want your opinion on an impor-
tant, question:" said Mr.. Carnegie.
Can you come over tonight and see
me at breakfast in the morning?T 1t
was nearly 8 o'clock, and Pittsburg
and New York are 4S0 miles apart.
The last train for Pittsburg has
just left Jersey City," answered Mr..
Dill.
Then come over on the morning
train Mr.. Carnegie suggested.
Il can't well do that" said Mr.. Dill,
because l have an appointment to-
morrow night with Mr.. X. here"
Mr.. Carnegie answered at once:
Get special train Tonight
Half an hour later Mr.. Dill, in his
special train, was on his way to Pitts
burg. Eleven hours later he said
Good morning" to Mr.. Carnegie.
Mr. Dill said the SHOEMAKER, Il
wouldn't have asked you to travel
nearly thousand miles for nothing. !"
Then he asked the corporation law
yer question, on the answer to which
hung the disposition of millions of
property. Mr.. Dill gave his opinion
in single word.
Thank you: that's ALL" said Mr..
Carnegie. Il hope you will keep your
engagement in New York tonight
Goodbye
Mr.. Dill was with Mr.. Carnegie less
than I'VE minutes. The special train
reached New York that night without
mishap. and few days later Mr.. Dill
received for his one-word opinion a
check for 81, 1000.
