tinue the curtailment of 25 per cent

two and a quarter million spindles

SELL DlspENsaRy REAL ESTATE
Sinking Fund Commission Decides
to Dispose OF the Property.

/ |Ta I. q .4
Columbia, March 20.-The State
dfspensary real. estate will. soon be
advertised for sale. The Sinking
Fund Commission, which was In ses-
sion Tuesday and the day before, de-
cided to take this plan to dispose of
the property, which has been placed
In the hands OF the commission by
the General Assembly with directions
to sell 1t. The upset price fixed by
the act is $4,000, which is a very
high figure to be estimated by even
the most sanguine believer In CO.
lumbia dirt.
The real estate covers an entire
block, but the trouble is that 1t is
so located, and the buildings on 1t
are such that the property, In its
present shape, cannot be used except
for certain purposes The big build
ing, once used for the Confederate
mint, is suitable only for a ware
house Of wholesale concern; 1t is
probably not constructed we'll enough
for a manufacturing establishment,
with heavy machinery. The building
was added to. by the dispensary, only
the front part being the old struc-
ture In addition there is co1yen
fent Office building apart from the
big building, and there are three or
four small cottages on the block, he
sides the wooden warehouses in the
rear.
This property is not under ini,nr-
tiOn from Judge Pritchard foe tho
reason that It was never In. the hands
of the dispensary winding-up CONF
mission. The act which was recently
passed directing the Sinking Fund
Commission to take charae and sell
the property stipulates that the
money derived from the sale shall he
placed to the credit of the school
fund, but there is no school fund in
the proper sense However, n good
many people, including some able
lawyers, hold that whatever surplus
there may be from the State dispen-
sary wrcckage must go to the schools
for the reason that under the dispen-
sary law the States share of the
profits went to the schools, 1t is.
however, doubtful If this surplus can
be considered profits and the eeffort to
put the money into the school fund.
when it is needed by the State for
other purposes, may be resisted yet,
There were a number of valuable fill
ing cases in the State dispensary and
the General Assembly provided that
these should, If the Sinking Fund
Commission decreed, be utilized in
the State House offices.
