$64, 900 WORTH OF LIQUOR
SHIPPED INTO AUGUSTA
(The Chronicle.)


Approximately $4,000 worth of
lwhiskey has been shipped into Angus
ia since the 22nd of last August. These
figures are estimates made from the
records of shipments at the ordinary's
office.
Under an act of the legislature the
ordinary began recording all ship
ments delivered to consignees in
Richmond county, all of which, with
rare exceptions, was consigned to the
express office here or railroads coming
into the city. Assuming that each of
the packages contained two quarts of
whiskey, and using $1.25 per quart as
the average price, the cost of the ship
ments would amount to $63,975.
The fees collected by Ordinary Wal
ton for recording the shipments, seven
cents for each shipment, amount to
$1,791.60. Of that amount $719.16
goes to the ordinary as his compensa-
tion for recording the shipments, ard
the balance, 1,972.44, goes to the state.
