TO RELEASE COUNTY BOARDS
Bill to be Prepared to Abolish Dis.
pensary Commissions in Dry Coun-
ties.

Columbia, Jan. 18.-As a result of
a conference held this afternoon by
legislative representatives from sew
erai of the counties that voted
against the sale Of whiskey last Au-
gust, the board of control in those
counties may soon be dismissed. A
Dill to this effect will be drawn up
and presented to the legislature for
action. The proposition will also be
embodied in the bill that one COM
missioner shall be named in each of
the counties to take charge of the
funds and arrange for the further
winding up Of the affairs of the coun-
ty dispensaries in the now dry coun-
ties. This commissioner would draw
nominal salary for his service.
Senator Black, Of Bamberg, to-
night explained the object Of such a
measure. He stated that in nearly
all the counties that went dry the
funds have been tied up. at least a
portion Of the funds, in claims of
whiskey houses, and in three or four
OF the counties all stock has not been
disposed of. This means that under
the Act Of 1900 the county boards
must remain In Office, said Act pro-
viding that the boards shall stay in
office until the final settlement Of the
dispensaries affairs. 1t is further ex-
planned that the expenses of keeping
these boards in Office is too much for
the several counties. In round num-
btrs each of these members of coup-
" boards draw s400 a year. making
$1,000 per year in each of the coun-
ties. The Abbeville board has re-
signed voluntarily, it is stated, and
the amount involved IN fourteen
counties would be $l6.SOO per wear.
Ihls does not include the expense
or clerk of the board, which expense
varies I'm different counties. being as
high as 800 In some of the counties.
or course, there are other incidental
expenses in keeping the boards in Of
flee.
Inc FUNDS in several counties have
peen ued up to secure the oVerjudg-
ments Of the State dispensarv wind
lng-up commission. 1t is stated that
expenses in some counties might
reach the limit Of going beyond the
amount involved in the old claims,
Tor there is no telling when the whole
matter will be out Of the courts. II
Is to relieve this situation that q bill
with be drawn. Senator Black stat
ed that in his county the expenses
are heavy, and he added, "You can't

WHOLESALE BICYCLE STEALING
Eight Of the Wheels Stolen Here
Recently, Found in Florence,

There being grounds for suspicion
that Florence was the base of opera
tton OF the bicycle thieves who have
been operating in Sumter for the past
several months. Mr.. H. L. Tjsdale, the
bicycle dealer and repairer, who
knows by sight practically all Of
the wheels that have been stolen,
went over to Florence Thursday
to make a quiet investigation. Within
a few hours after his arrival he tele-
phoned Chief of Police Bradford
that he had found eight wheels that
had been stolen in this city. He also
Informed the Chief that the parties
having the wheels in their pos
session refused to give them up. He
said that among the wheels found
were those stolen from Messrs l.. d.
Jennings, r. ID. Epps, r. j, Bland
and w. B. Boyle.
Messrs. Jennings and Epps went
to Florence that afternoon, and
they will make it hot for the thieves
If they can be located. In any event
the people who now have the stolen
wheels will be called on to tell where
they got them.
