County Dispensaries Pay Big Profits.

with county dispensaries. The Athens
Georgia dispensary is older than our
State system. So the financial results
with these institutions in counties
across the Savannah is of special in
terest to us who are about to adopt
the older system.
Dispensaries are located in fifteen
of Georgia's counties. Some weeks
ago we gave figures showing that in
Terrell county, with a population of
$1,000 the profits average from $780,
900 to 1924, 900 per year; and in Floyd
county, population 33, 113, the profits
average nearly $4,000 per. year.
These Georgia county dispensary fig
ures are somewhat astonishing when
one remembers that the six dispense
ries of Beaufort county, population
IS, ,495, make a profit Of only $11, 763
under the State system.
We have just received from the
clerk and treasurer of the city of
Athens, Georgia, a statement giving
a summary of the business Of the
Athens dispensary for the three years
ending January first, 1906. Athens
is the county seat of Clarke county.
The city's population is 11,018 and
the county's II, 708. There is no other
dispensary in the county.
The summary of business of the
Athens dispensary shows that from
January 1st, 1903, to January 1st,
1906, the total net profits were $110,-
88O.23, and that the stock on hand
increased SO, ,726.57. This is equiVa-
lent to a net cash profit of $36, $3.50. OF
per year, and a net profit in cash and
liquors of $40, ,202.N per year. The
sales averaged a little over $178, 900
per year, of which the average net
profits were over % per cent. The
expenses averaged less than z per
cent. of the sales.
To make the comparison perfectly
clear let US summarize our figures in
parallel columns:
County Population Profits fits
Beaufort, S. C.. 1926 $11, ,763
Clarke, Ga. l7,7os $4,000
Terrell, Ga. 1908 $A, 900
FLOYD, Ga. 33,113 $4,000
We advise the citizens of each
county to compare these facts with
the parallel results of State control as
shown in these counties. See if your
net profits are as much as % per
cent. of the total sales, and the ex-
pense, state and county, is not more
than 7 per cent. Such comparison
will show what enormous tribute
this State has been paying to the dis
pensary lords for over a decade.
Not long ago a wholesale liquor
dealer of Atlanta upon looking over
a list of the purchases the South
Carolina dispensary board had just
made, jumped up from his chair and
with a forcible exclamation said !:
'Why sir, I have heard of the prices
you people were paying, but l never
dreamed it was as bad as that.
Pounding his desk to emphasize his
earnestness, he continued: If your
State will purchase all it liquors from
me at those prices I: will pay
$500, 900 a year for the privilege, and
give any bond demanded to make
good"
The corruption and mismanage-
ment in our State dispensary has af-
fected not only our morals, but our
pocketbooks as WELL Beaufort Ga

SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around
the County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchings.

EHRHARDT, November 5.-The farmers
of this section are somewhat put ou,
about the sudden decline in cotton. The
crop has been about sold from this
section, not more than 10 per cent. OF II
remains in the farmers hands yet. Some
reports have it that 65 per cent. of the
crop for 1905 remains to be gathered yet
Any one travelling about in this section
would report other than the IS per cent
report. The situation is tough with oul
merchants, who bought quantities of fer
tilizer for the farmers from the various
companies. Now these notes are matur'
ing and they have nothing to pay with
The bank notes have taken three-fourths
of the crop made and about 25 per cent
is about the amount the merchants have
/ collected or will when they get all they
can. The situation is serious.
Evangelist Leitch commenced his
series of sermons in the Methodist church
at this place on last Thursday night. He
has been giving sister bosh, sister fly
speck, sister rundown stocking at the
heel, and whiskey drinkers, bricks so far.
Mr.. Marshall does the singing, which. is
enjoyed by all that hear him. Well, all
these sisters are needed to make our
world complete and without them We
could not see their actions and avoid be-
ing similar characters.
Gala week, is all that one can hear
talked on our streets these days. What
kind of dress and what style hat, etc.,
will be appropriate for the occasion.
Well, hope that all who 60 to see the
sights will enjoy themselves as much as
they anticipate.
All of our sick folks are getting better
and we hope soon to see them out on
our streets again.
Mr.. George b. Folk lost his horse last
week. Mr.. Folk carries mail on rural
route No. Q from here and boards with
Mr.. Jacob Ehrhardt. He was watering
the horses in the lot; his horse made an
effort to kick the other horses away from
the trough. Mr.. Ehrhardt had recently
gotten young horse, and when he ap-
preached the trough he took a hand in
the kicking frolic and resulted in kicking
Mr.. Folks horse so hard until it died the
next day.
Mr.. Joe I. Copeland and wife are visit
ing his son, DR.. J. L. Copeland.
Mrs. Bette Kinard and Mrs. Jacob
Ehrhardt went to Bamberg last week on
business. ...
Mr.. Chas. Ehrhardt went to Bamberg
Sunday on visit.
Mr.. John F. Chassereau has the painter
at work on his dwelling.
There is some talk of our having the
freight train to stay over night here and
carry an accommodation coach attached
to it so passengers can 60 and come on
it. This is good move if the railroad
people will only move itin that direction,
and will be taken advantage of by the
travelling public.
Mr.. G. Calvin Fender, prosperous
farmer of our section, brought me as a
sample hens egg just twice as large
as the largest eggs we get from our yards.
The egg measures three inches long, one
and three quarter inches in diameter, six
inches in circumference, and weighs
three and three-quarter ounces. .JEE.

The Good Of Medicine.

People insisting that medicine does
no good, have one stubborn fact to con.
tend with, that is, the people who do
believe are greatly in the majority. We
have been so fortunate during the past
20 years as to convince thousands of
sufferers with weak, watery blood, who
had all the symptoms of general
breaking down of the system that one
medicine, at least. does good. Nervous
and unsteady people, weak. feshless
people, pimply, pale or sallow people,
can have strong, steady nerves and solid
healthy flesh by the use Of DR.. Gums
Blood and Nerve Tonic. A tablet to
take at meal time, it turns the food
you eat into rich, red blood, making
solid flesh at the rate Of to lbs.
per week. Sold by all druggists for
75c per box, or 3 boxes for 81. This
medicine saves doctor bills and insures
health. giving the very best treatment
possible.

wealthiest woman in the world, inher

Margaret Carnegie, who is about 10
years Of age, is the only little girl in
the world who is the proprietor of a
palace in her own right. The palace
in question is on upper Fifth avenue,
in New York, opposite Central Park
and it cost $2,OOO,0O0. Four years ago
it was given to her by her father as a

The greatest all round sport of all
the young millionaires is William X.
Vanderbilt Jr., who has made dare.
devil reputation at racing automobiles.
Apparently, the desire to be in some
other place at the earliest possible mo-
ment, whether he has any object in
getting there or not, amounts to a dis.
ease with him, and his restlessness IL
so intense that at his country place on
Long Island motor ear and yacht
race are kept waiting for him at all

of inches under six feet in height. and
wears black mustache. When the
family break occurred a few years ago
and his mother married o. II. Z. Bel

mother), and he will undoubtedly in.
herit the bulk Of the $50, 600, 900 which

J. Pierpont Morgan Jr. is heavily

with strong features, and dark mus,

has several sisters. For number of
years past he has lived In London,
where, being married, he maintains a
handsome establishment. Like his IA.
ther, he is a patron of the fine arts.
Nobody knows how much J. p. Morgan
Sr. is worth, but it is likely that $75,'
100000 would not be far from the
mark
When the late William C. whitney
died he left only $4,000, 900 to his Sec
ond son, Payne Whitney, who, not long
ago, married Helen Hay, daughter Of
the late secretary of state. This was
probably was due to the fact that. at
the time of Mr.. Whitney's second mar.

Whitney was opposed to the match, and
the boy Payne went TO live with his
grandfather, Oliver Payne, the Stand.

passes away, Payne Whitney doubtless
will inherit the bulk of his fortune,
which amounts to something like $4O,.
