reward his expectant gaze in the morn

anything during the night, so Mr..

A MONEY MAKER.
DISPENSARIES ARE MON
Ely GETTING INSTITUTIONS.
Have Done About Same Business as
Former State Dispensary With
Much More Profit.

Former State Dispensary With
Much More Profit.
During the quarter ending March
81 the county dispensaries sold
S790,964.01 worth of whiskey in
"a counties, of which n has since
gone dry. On this business an aver
age profit of SO per cent. was made,
the total profit being $26S,941.9S.
This is at the rate of over a million
dollars a year profit.
According to the statement recent
ly prepared by Comptroller General
Jones the state dispensary during it's
thirteen years of business paid into
the state treasury for all purposes the
sum of S1,515,107.57.
The proportion of profit paid to
the counties and towns varied at diff
ferent time, but the total profit of
the State dispensary, even when there
were dispensaries in .forty-one coun-
ties did not reach one million dollars
per year, or thirteen million dollars
in the years that it was in operation.
According to the report made by
D%ispensary Auditor West to Governor
Ansel at the close of the fiscal year
the total amount of sales by the
county dispensaries during the nine
and a fraction months they were
operated in 1907 was $2,691,663.43,
on which the net profit declared was
S~6S5,056.61.
The business for a full year, or Il
months, runs easily in excess Of three
million dollars, which was the high
water mark for the state dispensary,
while the profit Of the county dispen-
sary system for twelve months runs
in excess of one million dollars,
which the state dispensary never did
attain, though it's founder predicted
it would.
Though there are now ~dispensaries
in only tw%enty-four counties the pro-
fit from the county ~dispensary system
is proportionately SO much greater
that from the state dispensary, and 1t
is distributed between the county and
towns, that as a revenue producer
the county dispensary is going to
prove more popular than the old sys-
tenn, and for that reason, if for no
other, it is more difficult to vote 1t
out than It was to close the county
dispensaries under the ~so-called
Brice Act under the state dispensary
regime, when prejudices and antag-
onism to the state dispensary had
something to do with the large pro-
hibition vote cast in several counties
OF the state.

LEVER HAS BEEN SICK
And Everybody Seems to Miss Hin
Saws a CORRESPONDENT.

Says a Correspondent.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says Represen-
tative Lever has been greatly missed
from his accustomed place in the
House during the past week. His
enforced absence has been noted by
many people, who have asked where
the little Congressman from South
Carolina has gone. When told that
he was i'll, there have been many ex-
pressions of regret and sympathy.
Mr.. Lever is a friend of the news
paper man, and all of the Southern
press boys know there will be some
thing worth writing about when he
is around. He likes the newspaper
men, and they are fond of him. He
has reached the state when he
felt too proud to come out of the
House when sent for and say that ne
had no news when asked for it if he
had none. Nor has he ever sent a
newspaper man away feeling other
than better for having seen him. He
is the correspondents friend always.

USED HER GUN FREELY.
White Woman in Tennessee Goes on
the War Path.

At Memphis, Tenn, following a
quarrel because she had stopped her
children from playing with some ne
groes, Mrs. James Wright shot and
instantly killed Leila Gordon, a ne
gro woman. Mrs. Wright used a sim
gle, barreled shot. gun and her one
shot tore an arm completely from the
negro woman's body.
Rushing into her home, Mrs
Wright reloaded the shotgun and
started in pursuit of Mary Davis,
another negro woman. She shot at
her. once after a chase of nearly a
block, but the shot went wild. Po-
lice officers from the Webster avenue
station arrested Mrs. Wright a few
minutes later and she was locked up
on a charge of murder.
A quarrel over the children of the
white woman being stopped from
playing with some negroes living in
the vicinity was the cause of the
tragedy. .
