In nearly every instan >o there was shortage of a few dollars in the case of local dispensers whose books and slock .were checked up. These deficits, showing carelessness, were paid up as a rule. There was one ting rant case re ported by Mr. H. W. Boy kin. He had been ordered to Fairfax, in Barnwell county, as it was reported that the local dispensary had been robbed. He found a shortage of $40. Not satisfied with this, he returned the week following and found a shortage of $190 45 in stock and of $'222. U9 in the prefits accruing to the town and to the county. A part of the shortage in stock was offset by claims against the railroads, j Mr. Boy kin suggested the removal of this dispenser, J. ('. Myers. He lives ei<?ht miles from | the dispensary and goes to it hut seldom. The business is entrusted to clerks and there is a shortage ' reported every time the inspector visits the place. The dispensary is looked upon with particular disfavor in that community. The board decided to request the county board to remove the incumbent and the commissioner, Mr. Crum, was instructed to withhold shipments ef liquor to that dispensary until tlis matter is , straightened out.

After summing up tlx law and the facts in his decree. Judge Gary announces his docin ion as follows: ".Vly conclusior is that the board of trustees made a contract for tho purch so ol charts for the use of their severu schools at u time when there w?: no funds available for such purchase, and the mere fact that said claims were made payable at ti later or future time out of fund* not then apportioned to their said schools, was simply an effort tr avoid the foregoing provision ol law, and that mid contract ol purchase is null and void. It is, therefore, ordered that the wril of mandamus be refused." It it altogether likely that the case wil go to the supreme court. Judge Benet Summoned to Bed side of His Son.
