POSSESSION OF STATE,

The state board of land commis-
sioners, Tuesday of last week, rs-
ceived from the clerk Of school dis
trict No. 20, In Bannock county.
$500 worth Of bonds, for the pur-.
chase Ut which the stateboard recent.
ly contracted.
At the last meeting of the board
the register of the state land depart
ment was instructed to buy $40, 900
worth OF school bonds, which had
been submitted to him for approval.
On examination Of the abstract 1t de-
:veloped that s25, 900 worth Of the
debentures were incorrect In small
but vital way and they were returned
to the various school boards for cor
rection. The other $4,000 worth
were regular and correct and were
taken by the board.
1t Is a fact not generally known,
but fact nevertheless, that In the
office OF Register Mcconnell are one
and half million dollars worth Of
securities purchased by the board
with surplus funds In Its possession.
A million aud half dollars are not
, often seen In one package, but In the
vault room of the registers Office
that sum reposes undisturbed. The
securities are IN the form OF bonds
, xud warrants. They are drawing
interest at au average rate OF six per

The vault OF the register is not a
+, particularly strong one. Most any
enterprising burglar, with an up to

| lion and half dollars. However, he
i would be no richer by the proceeding

that the bonds aud warrants have

Testimony Of a thoughtful Man.

A gentleman who resides twelve
miles north of the county seat said to
the writer few days ago: eff we
do not get rid of the dispensary do
not see what is to become of the boys
and young men in the country. A
young man who likes whiskey will 60
to Edgefield and buy half gallon of
mean liquor for eighty cents, and
bring it home and demoralize half
dozen boys with it. Often they carry
it to church on Sunday and drink it
out in the bushes. You all in the
towns do not see near the evil from
the dispensary that we do who live
in the country. The old bar rooms
corrupted the towns but the dispen-
sary is corrupting the country peo-
ple." The condition set forth in the
foregoing is what this thoughtful and
very reliable citizen has seen with his
own eyes--not what he has heard.
Are the people of Edgefeld county
willing, for the few dollars that are
paid into the public treasury by the
dispensary, to stand by and see the
boys and young men of the country
thus debased and debauched We
do not believe that they are. Father,
who knows but what if this deplora.
BILE condition continues, your Lright
boy will become victim of this
forty. cents per.quart corn liquor.
Aid in stamping it out before he suf-
fers from its blighting influence

Horrible Disaster in Welsh Coal Mine.

An explosion of fire damp in No. 2
pit of the United National Colliery
Company at Wattstown, Rhondda
valley, Wales, the center of the
great Welsh coal fields, is believed
to have resulted in the loss of 1876
lives. The explosion was followed
Immediately by belching of clouds of
smoke and dust from the pit shaft, in
which one hundred and fifty men
were working. The force of the ex-
plosion wrecked the machinery at the
mouth of the pit. All communication
with the doomed men in this direc-
tion was cut off. Up to last Tuesday
at midnight 68 bodies had been re-
moved. 1t is not believed that sim
gle man now in the shaft will come
out alive. Rescuors are making he
roic efforts. 1t is the worst Welsh
mine disaster since 1894.

Graft Unearthed In DIspsnsary.

1t has been suspected for some
time that certain liquor dealers who
sell their goods to the State dispen-
sary were paying the county dispen-
sers to push their brands of liquor.
Commissioner Tatum has made dis
covery which proves that there was
ground for suspicion. He has found
that some cases of goods contained a
greater number of bottles than were
billed to or paid for by the State dis
pensary. This excess would become
the property of the county dispenser
to whom the whiskey was shipped,
who would either drink or sell it and
put the money in his pocket, instead
of the cash drawer. On opening the
cases of whiskey that yet remained
in the State dispensary Mr.. Tatum
found $4,000 worth of whiskey that
had not been invoiced.
1t is then fact that some county
dispensers have been paid thousands
of dollars to increase the sales of GER
tain brands of liquor, and, as mat
ter of course, this money was taken
out of the quality of the liquor. If
this form of graft has been conducted
in the broad open daylight, 80 to
speak, think of what probably has
been done in the dark hours and in
"executive sessions. ."-Edgefeld Ad-
vertiser.
