NEWS FROM EXCELSIOR. Grain Not Injured by the Very Unfavorable Weather-Increased School Enrol ment-Personal. Excelsior, January 25.-We had a good rain on Friday and the weather is again cool and bracing. Mrs. Caroline Cook is visiting her daughter near Prosperity. It is not thought the grain in this section is seriously injured by the cold weather. Our school has several new pupils since Christmas and is moving on nicely. Mr. Ira Nates, of Columbia, has been at his home here for a few days on the sick list. His health is much improved now, however. Mr. Willie Maffett, of Edgefield, visited Mr. D. B. Cook's family here last week. Mrs. Willie Blanton has returned to her home at Graniteville after a several days' visit to her father's family here. Misses Janie Kinard, of Leesville, and Bettie Werts, of Etheridge, are visiting in this community. Mr. D. B. Cook has rebuilt the tenant house recently destroyed by fire on his place. With a good daily mail service we feel like we are living in town now. Sigma. THE STATE DISPENSARY. Last Report of the Old Board of Directors Has Been Made to Governor Heyward. The old board of directo.is of the State dispensary, consisting of Chairman L. J. Williams, H. H. Evans and Wilie Jones, made their last annual report to Governor Heyward, which is as follows: To His Excellency, D. C. Hey ward, Governor of South Carolina: We have the honor to submit here with a statement of the business done by the State and county dis pensaries during the fiscal year year ending November 30, 1903 By referring to the several state ments attached hereto you will find that the total cost of liquors, wines, beer, etc, for the year has beer $1,997,559-47, and that the total sales (exclusive of fresh beer) have Ieen $2,817,998.77. The net earnings for account c: the school fund for the fiscal year which have been placed to its credit amount to $1 26.266. The nel profits that have accrued to and equally divided between the counties and towns amount to $512,216-35. Grand total of earnings for the yea1 for school fund and counties and towns, $638,482.35: increase ore3 earnings of last year, $71,584 02. Two years ago the school fund amounted to $611,354 3S, and the Act of February 26, 1902, require: us to reduce this sum to $40o,ooo and within a. few days we will have met this requirement. As we said in our last report, $40o,ooo is at insufficient amount to conduct the business of the dispensary on a casi basis. In conclusion, we are gratified t< say that the business of the dis pensary has been conducted witi harmony and success in all its de partments, and while the volume o: business has increased, we attribute it to a more rigid enforcement o: the law rather than to an increased consumption of liquors. Respectfully submitted: L. J Williams, Chairman, H. H. Evans Wilie Jones, State Board of Direc tors. Found a Cure for Indigestion.
