This would indicate profit in the year of about $60,000. This is not a large sum in a monopoly that supplies strong drink to over a million people. This is certainly much below the ex- pectations of the people in the state when they established the state dis pensary, for then they expected to de. rive from the state dispensary a good share of their school expense.

South CaroIina's State Dispensary.

The state dispensary in South Caro- lina's remarkable liquor system Is the wholesale store of the concern. It buys and sells liquor to the county dispensaries which in turn sell to con sumers. The county dispensaries are also monopolists, and their profits are not greatly unlike those of this state or of Georgia.
 The state dispensary of South Caro- lima is strictly unique, there being no other like it in this or any other coun- try. We add therefore its latest state ment of it's operations. This state ment is for the quarter ended May 31, as follows:

While in the city Wednesday Judge
G. w. Burnham appointed Chaplain

that Fl. Clay Evans, until recently
commissioner of pensions, a few weeks
granted Captain Shannon an in
crease Of pension from sc to IS, under
the law of 1890, which virtually implied
that Shannon was but two-thirds in,
capacitated from earning a livelihood
by manual labor. At the same time,
so Chaplain Cole states. the depart
ment notified Pension Agent Sperry, of
Des Moines, ~instructfng him not to pay
any more on Shannon's voucher, be-
cause he was an imbecile.
Chaplain Cole notified Mr.. Perry last
night, furnishing him with his GER
tificate of the courts appointment as
guardian. and as his guardian will i'm
mediately apply for an increase in pen
sion upon the grounds Of total i'm

Capt. Shannon vas an Iowa soldier
and captain Of Company E, Fourteenth

Shaw, of Anamosa, and has a good

five years ago, 1t had telephone service

company over 800 phones.
Other extensive Improvements that
are to be made by the company are
