The Beerine Vendors.
Fort Mill Times: There was con-

the cold drink dealers Of the town who
have been selling a bottled drink call

be very much the same as lager beer.
Some weeks ago the state chemist
found by analysis that beerine contain
ed too high a percentage OF alcohol to
be sold without tax and the revenue
officers throughout the state have been
busy for several days collecting this
tax, the amount charged each dealer
depending entirely upon the quantity
OF the drink he has sold. The local
dealers were assessed amounts ranging
from $3.50 to SIS.

made another swap there. Mr.. Carroll
sought Mr.. Hardee for some definite
particulars: but Mr.. Hardee was una

White Diamond Full Up.
Gaffney Ledger: BILLY" Johnson, the
manager Of the White Diamond
Springs hotel. came over Monday and
stayed until Tuesday. When The Led
ger man asked about the hotel and the
springs Mr.. Johnson said that the
house was being most literally patron
lied: in fact they have just about all
they can do to take care Of the patron
age. The Ledger has a kindly feeling
for the White Diamond Lithia springs,
as II was there that he was put on the
road to health and happiness last
month. 1t Is a delightful place to
spend a vacation. and there can be no
question about the medicinal proper
ties Of the waters. We know that
Billy" makes it pleasant for his guests
for his is that genial disposition which
makes friends Of everybody and there
is nothing that he can do to contrib
ute to the comfort and pleasure of his
guests that he will not do. We hope
that the patronage next year will be
so great as to force the company to
add to the hotel. The hotel will re-
main open during the month of Sep
