Take Cm caret* Oaady Catbartl* me orM* UC.C.O. fall t* eon, (lni?HM nf?? Metamorphosis of the Dispensary. The New York Evening Puat i says: "Some far reaching effects of recent liquor legislation in South Carolina are just being realised by* the people of the State. One efFeet is to change the intent of the dispensary law, and to sanction acts of the board of control not in harmony with the original law The basic feature of the dispensary system was that no liquor was to ho drunk on the premises where sold, and that all officials wore to besalarifd, so tha4 there would he no temptation to increase sales for the sake of the profit. Beer selling was not contemplated in the original law, hut "beer privileges have been granted by the houid of control, and in these heer dispensaries the beer is drunk on the premises, as in any saloon, the heer seller piying the State a ro\ alty of 15 cents on each dozen bottles. All this has been legalized by an amendment to the law, passed at the recent session of the legislature. This amendment also permits the establishment of distilleries and breweries in ( barleston and Columbia, and four companies have applied for permission to make liquor in Columbia Step by step, the dispensary herealded at its creation as an institution to lessen the sale of liquor, hits approached the status of die ordinary saloon, until now it ministers so ably to tbs drink habit that there is lively competition to turrieh the State with its liquid supplies."
