Dispensary Nows Columbia, April 19 - There have been very many curious things about the dispensary. Perhaps the most remarkable aud ourious feature of the business is that in the three months of 1906 lhere has been prac tically no falling off in the actual busiuess of the system. In other words, with tho dispensaries closed in Greenville, Sparenburg, Auder? HOD, York, Oconoe, Piokens, Puion, Newberry, Marion, Lancaster and other counties, there has been hut very little falling of in the aggregate business of thc dispensary as a sys tem. The dispensary people claim that the actual falling off in these three months had they had ample cheap stock on hand, would ha\o boon about $50,000. Fourteen coun ties have had thoir dispensaries closed since January of this your, and while the actual loss in business for tho first threo months of this year, aa compared with the first: three mont hs of last year, has been 1 $180,822, thc claim is thai thc loss in some part is due to tho fad that the now board did not have any j cheap corn, gin or rye to offer for] Hale. For tho first three mouths of 1905 | tho dispensary sales, at invoice prices ] to thc counties, aggregated $712, 781.91, while for the same period i this year, with folly a third of the j counties without dispensan is, tho Bales have aggregated $576,962.61. j Tho following comparative figures have been obtained through Com missioner Tatum and are official: January-- 1005. 1900.

Seario is super intendent of the Southern Kailway Company, and, as such, was indicted, tried ami found guilty in Haborsharu county, in 1903, on the charge of violating the law. Ile took the case to the Supreme Court of Georgia, which sustained tho law and affirmed the sentence.of tho trial court. Ile then sued out a writ of error to thc Supreme Court of the United Slates, on the ground that the law is repug nant to the Federal constitution, but that court refused to take cognizance , of it. The effect is to leave in force the finding of the Georgia court. The case of R. J.

A DASHING AUTOMOBILE STORY A Motor-Car Divorce By LOUISE CLOSSER HALE ABREEZY and deliciously humorous motor-car romance-the fact that the hero and heroine are man and wife makes it no less a romance. Mrs. Ward, a believer in the theory of the ten-year marriage contracts advanced by George Meredith, goes with her indulgent husband on an automobile tour through France and Italy for the purpose of securing a divorce on the grounds of, " incompatibility of temper," which, in reality, do not exist. It takes ;?tother woman, several accidents and the automobile to bring Mrs. Ward to her proper senses.
