When one considers the dispensary law it is no wonder that such conclusions are reached. The man who purchases a bottle >f "fuss X" or "White Rabbit" lays a tax to the State, a tax to he county, a tax even to the town, n addition to paying on Dispenser's salary, clerk hire house rent, etc. The town and county's share of the net profits on the whiskey business here for July amounted to $11)1).05, which has heen turned over to TAX C()h? LECTOR Caiithen by the dispenser. It is time for the poor man to pondc*. If the dispensary is to continue pledge your lawmakers to change the law so as to lop off the State, county and town tax you pay every time you buy a bottle. In other words, do away with the profit feature. Since wdtinjr the above the j Kershaw dispenser has turned over to TAX Collector Cauthcn $221).- i 0(i, the county and town's part of the profits in the business there. , ! Letter to Mr K. Moore, Laneas- . ter, S C Dear Sir:?Truth will prevail; many people doubt the Statements . made in behalf of L & M I'.aint ; hut when they see how it covers ! and wears, they are prevailed up on to buy it, and about 10 years afterward, coino back for more. The old paint is still in good condition; but they want to change the colors on the house. Thin paints are not in favor because they are J linseed oil, and nobody wants to pay a paint price for a lot of linseed oil. White lead always chalks and admits moisture to the wood. L & M Paint is non-chalkable, and being semi- ! paste, requires the addition of a ! large quantity of linseed oil, which .educes its actual cost to the minimum. Messrs. Crawford Hros. will be pleased to quote you lowest prices, and furnish color cards. Yours sincerely, Longman & Maktinkz. I LOOSE" Throng < 'S MONEY: is Irawinj IISSI lots and t k.
