headquarters here.
I Immediately called the matter to
the attention Of the board and asked
them to stop further shipments. They
agreed to do this, and by wire held up
shipments OF the outstanding goods
contracted for.
Then I secured from the board a
statement showing all goods ordered
to be shipped in since Dec. last. This
found to include about 5000 cases
of the Objectionable goods to the val
ne of about 100000. A copy of said
statement is attached. I then wrote
the board a protest against receiving
these Objectionable case goods and in
dicated that would not receive them
unless compelled. A number of cars
Of these goods are now standing in
the freight yards Of this city, and I
do not propose to receive them unless
forced to do so. There are also IL
euors on hand that, in my judgment,
should be returned While have no
legal authority to refuse to accept
these goods, I have taken this drastic
action because I feel that it is neces-
sary to the safeguarding Of the fnan-
cia1 interets of the dispensary. It is
my hope that, as my repeated pro-.
tests have had no effect on the board,
some action will be taken by the con-
stituted authorities to relieve the con-
dition.
Some time ago it was decided to cut
out practically ali case goods and to
rectify all of the better grades here,
and to handle bonded warehouse
goods. A recifying plant has been
put up in here at a cost Of - and
an expert rectifer was employed at a
sals~y Of 5000 a month. In view Of
this policy it would seem decidedly
unbusinesslike to stock up with case
goods. In the meantime sufficient
quantity Of bulk goods has been re-
ceived to supply the rectifying plant.
We are short on some barrel goods
that have been needed a year; at the
same time we are very much over
stocked on some Of the other barrel
goods. Respectfully submitted.

Why His Marriage Failed.

He regarded children as a nuisance.
He did all his courting before mar
riage.
He never had time to go anywhere
with his wife.
He doled out money to his wife
as if to a beggar.
He looked down upon his wife as
an inferior being.
He never took time to get acquaint-
ed with his family.
He thought of his wife only for
what she could bring to him.
He never dreamed that there were
two sides to marriage.
He never dreamed that a wife needs
praise or compliments.
He had one set Of manners for
home and another for society.
He paid no attention to his person
al appearance after marriage.
He thought his wife should spend
all her time doing housework.
He married an ideal and was dis
appointed to find it had flaws.
He treated his wife as he would
not have dared to treat another wom-

Spain and Rome in History.

Spain and Rome are sufficiently es-
tranged at present to make their past
history redouble its interest, particu-
larly where it affects ourselves. 1t is
somewhat strange that Major Hume,
in his new book, makes so much of
Mary Tudor as Queen of Spain. She
never saw that country. Her husband
was only heir of it at their marriage,
and he left her in August, 1855, aft
er their first union of 13 months. He
received the kingdom in January,
1856, and rejoined his wife for two
months in 1857, after which she saw
him no more In the two last years
of her life. however, the British royal
title was philip and Mary, King

With these facts I went before the
board at regular meeting in August
and asked that they discontinue or
dering these goods. They accuiesced.
During the session Of the November
meeting Of the board a list Of the
purchases proposed at that meeting
was furnished me by the clerk of the
board. On that I found about $500
cases of these Objectionable goods.
wrote memorandum on said list call
g attention to these goods, and ask
7 ed that they be cut out, and sent said
memorandum back to the board The
board instructed the clerk verbally
not to order anything to which I OBJ
jected. A few days later I learned
that an additional batch Of orders had
been made up covering other objec-
tionable brands of case goods. There
upon, 1 frote letter dated Nov. II,
copy of which is attached. Each
member wrote authorizing the cancel
lation as per my request.
On Dec. y 1 submitted to the board
a statement showing the goods needed
to supply the untitled orders Of the

Columbia, Jan. 1e.-Without d'yis-

Columbia, Jan. 17.-The annual re-
port Of the State board of directors
Of the State dispensary was made
public today. That report is dated
January 9 and is addressed to Gov.
Hayward. Accompanying it II the re-
port Of Mr.. j. E. Mcdonald, who was
employed as special attorney by the
present board to report on the legal
ity of certain purchases made by the
former board, consisting Of Chairman
II. H. Evans, John Bell Towil1 and
L. W. Boykin. The report Of Mr..
Mcdonald was submitted, as will be
seen, on November 12, but it has nev-
er been secured for publication before
today.
Mr.. McDonald's report shows that
100000 worth Of liquor was bought
in excess of the institutions needs by
the former board, and the report Of
the directors states that Of this
amount s110,249.74 was returned, the
rest being used. Most of these pur-
chases, Mr.. Mcdonald declares, were
Illegally made, and, as was brought
out by the investigating committee,
orders were frequently given by the
clerk of the board over the telephone,
or without order from the board,
resolution Of the board empowering
the clerk to do this whenever it was
deemed necessary.
The board Of directors have had
this report Of Mr. Mcdonald before
them since November II. The COM
missioner has stated in a letter to a
senator that the present board has
only recently made purchases largely
in excess Of the dispensary's needs.
and the present board is now to be
Investigated.
