statute, the state treasurer "shall

said bids to the directors of the dis

The statute further provides, as

and shall have the same tested and
declared to be chemically pure; and
If the wines and liquors purchased

THE HERALD ANp NEWS.

On the same day, but appearing
subsequently in the minutes, is the
following: 'a.> lh3ya.
"The board, after discussing sever
al matters, instructed the clerk to
order out such goods as was needed
by the dispensary, until further or
ders, and adjourned to meet tho regul-
ar time in December. -
1t is evident that these are the res
olutions referred to by Mr.. Charles
as his authority for ordering liquors.
So far as I have been able to uscer-
tain, none Of the liquors in question
were shipped under written orders,
signed by any member Of the former
board of directors, and it appears
from the statement Of Mr.. Goodman,
representative Of Anchor Distilling
company and Ulman & Co., made at
your meeting in April last that he
did not know that the houses repre-
scnted by him had ever had a writ
ten order from the board of directors,
that he, himself, would direct the
shipment of liquors from his houses
on orders given to him by Mr.. Char
les, who sometimes gave him a verbal
order in Columbia, and at other times
gave him an order by telephone. No
record seems to have been kept by
Mr.. Charles Of those various tele-
graphic, telephone and verbal orders
for liquors.
7. I find that the shipments of
liquor to the state dispensM'y be-
tween October 1, 1905, and the 1st
day of February, 1906, were very
largely in excess Of the amounts nee
essary for the use of the dispensary
during that time.
8. That the advertisements issued
and published by tho former board of
directors and upon which bids for
liquors were solicited, fixed mini
mum value below which no bid could
be received. That part of the adver-
tiscment which relates to the liquors
covered by your resolution is in the
following language: "We also solicit
bids on rye liquors to grade in value
at So, $3.50 and So per gallon: corn
at $1.75 and $1.S5 per gallon; and
malt at So and $2.10 per gallon"
8. That, on the 10Th day of Octob-
CT, 1904, the attention of the board of
directors was called in the manner in
which its advertisements for bids
for liquors were made, as appears
from letter addressed to the board,
which is as follows:
October IL, 1904.
TO the Honorable Board of Directors,
of the State Dispensary, City.
Gentlemen: After a matuye study
of the mode Of advertising for bids
on bulk goods by the board, I have
come to the conclusion that it would
be more in accordance with section
557 of the dispcnsary law and for
the best interest of the institution,
and the consumers Of whiskcy in the
state, for your board to change your

| would be pleased to take this
matter up with you and submit my
reasons, which are. too long and ted
ious for a letter. h ,:,!&%& :,,!&l& Y
With the assurance that my only
reason for making this suggestion is
my interest in the institution and the
consumers that you and myself have
been elected to ia ke care Of, and the
knowledge that each of you, like my
self, has their best interest at heart,
[ am, Yours truly,
w. O. Tatum,
Commissioner.
The above is a statement Of the
material facts relating to the legality
of the alleged sales Of liquor to the
state dispensary, and shipped to it
during the latter part Of the year
1905. Of course, there are great
many other facts and circumstances
indirectly bearing upon the question,
but so far as my conclusion is con-
cerned, and for the purpose Of my re-
port, it is unnecessary, in my opin-
ion, to set them out in full, inasmuch
as [ have reached a definite conclu-
stated, when applied to the law ap-
plicable thereto.
The law providing for the purchase
of liquors for the state board of direc-
tors is purely statutory. The board
of directors, while in one sense Off
GERS of the state, still, in my opinion,
are mere agents Of the state, so far
as the purchase of liquors is involved,
and their authority to make purchases
is measured and limited by the terms
of the statute. The board has no
powers, except such as are conferred
by the statute, and it has no rights
in reference to the purchase of liqu-
ors, except such rs are plainly declar-
ed and set forth in the statute.
In section 557 of the dispensary
law, as amended by the act of the
legislature, approved March 2, A. D.
1908, statutes at large, volume "a,
page III, cit is provided, among 9TH
er things, that the directors of the
dispensary shall advertise quarterly
for bids to be made by parties desir-
ing to furnish liquors to the dispen-
sary for such quarter 1t is further
provided, that the bids shall be Sc
curely sealed with the seal of the COM
pany, firm or corporation making the
bid and forwarded by express to the
state treasureH Columbia, S. G. It is
further porvidcd, that only one bid
shall be made by any one, which shall
state the quality, price and chemical
analysis thereof, and, at the same
time, "and accompanying said bids,
there shall be sample of each kind
of liquor offered for sale, containing
not more than one-half pint each,
whihc sample shall, on its arrival, be
delivered to dispensary commissioner,
to be retained by him until after it

q Mistake.

No: one of US, even the most good
natured, likes to have his mistakes
pointed out. We may appear not to
mind corrections and accept them with
a smile, but it is human nature to
smart under correction, although some
of us may be clever enough to conceal
the smart: hence the fewer mistakes
we call attention 10 in others the bet

make are trivial Their correction is
unimportant. Why. then, notice them

What good does it do to have the ey-
act day set right? 1t is matter Of
no Importance. so why insist upon cor
recting the trivial error? Stanch
friendships have often been pricked
by this needle Of useless correction.
1t is a great art, this art of learning
to allow others to be mistaken when
the mistake is unimportant. Few
learn it, but those who do are among
the most comfortable friends one can
have.

do not knowingly admit nuadrnpeds OF
this size to the shelter OF the tore
cabin though possibly if they did no
great harm would be done or sentl-

was tethered Oh the open deck and
thus became exposed to the fury OF
wind and weather, not to mention the
wave. \ British peasant would prob
