DISPENSARY INVESTIGATION Has Accomplished Nothing so Far But it Has Cost $3,000. .A dispatcih t tlc Spartanburg journal -ayi The state dlispenlrar% investiga:ing c,omm111t:ee will- ge diown to wrk in Tuesday. Augu-t 8 The Brrt ei'n will be at Spartan )urg. Spartanburg is chosen because is t1ouiht it will save expenses and the committee finds that it has a tight hold there on witnesses and has already material enough to begin work. The purpose is to do what work i; necessarv at Spartanburg and then i:;ove to C,lumbia. where the public nvestigatzi-nls are to, be continued as nug ats ther e ar e Wine:e aiVailab:le hknw anyting The idea of the iimnmtitee i- t meet wherever it will )e cheapest to handle the inquiry. Some of the members of the com ittee a(I particniarlv Chairman a daa tat it wvas very (lis ''intin to see peIl,ie 'a the sttmp i i" the pulpit denouncing the dis dan(d n' '.rffering the committee i<1ence .r suggesting it o the state. or inmself. and for the committee. e said that evidence or information th.at is ffered the cnlmmittee will be fairly dealt with, and the committee I anxious to get any ti)S it can. Any member if the cmmi:tee max he ad cdres-sed -r he may be advised at Camdem. S. C.. and the in formation will be given t: the committee. He thinks it unfair to the committee for ;)eople to be charging things and not offering to help prove the charges. The chief work of the committee today, in fact about the only thing that was done other than canvass the situation and the work done, was to arrange to borrow additional money. The committee was voted S3,ooo out of the dispensary fumds when it be gan work. it has spent nearly all of this money, but the committee thinks that it has now gone so far that it must either throw up the sponge or borrow money with which to push the work and pay the expenses of the witnesses it is expected to summon. and the other expenses that have been provided for. The committee feels that it is war ranted in arranging for additional money on the ground that it is nec essary and that what money has thus far been spent has been conser vately expended, an'd that whatever may be the result of the investiga tion the people of the state want it thoroughly done. Care Of Books. Marginal notes are usually super fluous and undesirable. Corners should not be turned down or leaves folded in halves. Exposing books to heat or strong * sunlight warps the binding. Never bend back the covers of a .book, but keep them both level. Do not turn a book on its face or place any weight on an open book. Never open a large book from the ends or cover. but from the center. Bookcases should not be placed against outside walls on account of the probable dampness. A blunt knife of ivory, wood or metal should be used for cutting new books, not a sharp instrument. If any liquid be spilt on a bok. wipe it off at once gently with a soft cloth or absorb it w~ith blotting paper. Do noc dry it by a fire. Dragging a book out from the shelf by the b:nding at the top is hurtful. N books are wedged in too tightly if! a case they become shabby. Pith And Point. Atchison Globe. A child is always surprised that you don't know the washerwoman at its house. When you throw a friend a bou quet, don't throw it so he will catch the riorns in his hands. Rope is a progressive game. One's children failing to become famous, '-'ie hope progresses to the grand children. It is easy for a woman tco be polite: all she has to do is to smile, but a man has to smile and raise his hat. Worrying about the future is be lieveing there will be ghosts tomor rowx. thm:-gah yout know there are none :oday. Paremts are hard on the;- chibriren when he child(ren are young, and when :he parents are old the children are annd on the parents. R.
