Elloree Dispeasagy Closed.

Pursuant to the order of the county
board Of control a few days ago the
Elloree dispensary closed its doors
Tuesday April 80. There was $125.
% unsold stock on hand, and this is at
the disposal of the board. On Feb
ruary 16, when all the dispensaries
were temporarily closed under the.
new law, there was about 500 worth
of stock on hand. When the dispen-
sary was opened under the present law
a carload of whiskey was shipped here
and the first named figures is whatre-
manned of the old supply and the ship
ment when Dispenser Weeks checked
up to day. The Dispensary has been
in operation here a little over thirteen
wears, and Mr.. J. NJ. Weeks has serv-
ed continuously as dispenser during
that time. He has made a capable
and efficient official, enforcing the law
without fear or favor. He retires from
his position with the respect and con-
fdence of the people. There has been
a long and continuous fight here for
prohibition and there are many who
believe that the above action is for
the best. The opportunity for the
practice of prohibition now presents
itself.
