FIGURES Tell the Story.

The gross sales of the dispensary
for the fiscal year ending November
80, 1904. amounted to S3,374,776
The population of S. c., according to
the census of 1900 was 1,340,316
Divide the amount of whiskey sold
by the population and you will find
that the per capita drinking bill in
South Carolina is 50 81. Per capita
bill In United States as given by the
American Grocer and quoted by
Zion Herald is $18 80, or nine times
as much as the per capita in our
State. We used to hold our hand in
whiskey drinking with other States,
but the dispensary law has made
South Carolina an examl of tenn
perance ce.-Abbeville Medium.
These figures are conclusive, and
as people believing in temperance
wish to vote out the dispensary and
set the county moving in the direc-
tion of the old bar-room system, and
it's hell of horrors. Has reason gone
mad? &. G. T.
