Columbia special Of January Is, to
Charlotte Observer: The Chester
county board of control has found 1t
impossible so far to dispose Of the
county dispensary stock, left on hand
when the institution was voted out OF
existence last November, and it is un-
derstood that there is some talk Of
asking the legislature to allow the in
stitution to be reopened long enough
to work off this stock, amounting to
something more than 5000. Nothing
will be done, however, it is said, until
the consent of the people Of the county
has first been obtained. An attempt
will be made to obtain this consent
either by holding public meeting or
by circulating a petition. If the peo-
pie of the county are willing for the
dispensary to be reopened and kept
open long enough to work off what
stock Is on hand, the county delegation
will be asked to introduce bill to that
effect. which it is believed would read
ily pass. Chairman John c. McAfee
went to Lexington q few days ago to
sell the stock to the dispensary board
of that county, but was unable to
make a deal. A proposition has been
received from the Richland board to
take what stock its representative may
cCme up and select, at so cents on the
dollar; but the Chester board feels that
this would entail entirely too great a
loss on the county. All of the stock
and fixtures and the bottling appar-
atus have been gathered in the main
dispensary building so as to cut down
rent and other expenses.
- Anderson special of January TO-,
to the Greenville News: A rather
unique deposit was made at one of the
local banks here yesterday just be-
fore the clock struck the closing hour.
A well-to-dO farmer of Broadway
township, who Is considered a good
business man and prosperous one,
walked into the bank, and in his hand
held little brown jug, stopped up
with an ordinary corn cob. The far
mer was fairly well known by the corps
of clerks in the office and they began
"guying" him about the jug, asking
him If 1t contained anything good, etc.
The farmer received their taunts jok-
ingly and in good humor, but finally
surprised the young bank aspirants by
asking for the cashier, calling the CASH
ier by his Christian name as If he had
known and played with him since early
