STATE WILL BORROW MONEY.
After Pensions are Paid Out Ther<
Will bo Nothing for Ordinary
Expenses.
The list, of pensioners who will re
ceive their share of the State appro
priation this year is being rapidly
completed ami will be ready for tin
various county boards shortly. As i
result it will be necessary for tlx
State to borrow about $300,000. Then
is at present enough in the treasury
or due from the franchise tax collec
tions to pay the pension appropria
tion, amounting to $250,000, but tin
ordinary expenses of the Stat'*
amount to about $00,000 per montl
and on July 1 there is the somi-an
nual interest, on the public debt
amounting to about $85,000, to bv
paid out. This will make a loan necessary
and until (axes arc sent it;
during Hie fall months the Stale will
have very lit Ho to pay the ordinary
running expenses. A large loan will
irivo :i lower rale of interest and it i.c
probable thai il will be about $300,000
tiiis time.
DEATH IN RUNAWAY.
Miss Bculah Gill am of Blackvillc
Killed?Leaps Fiom a Moving
Buggy.
What is considered one of the saddest
accidents that ever happened in
Blackvillc was the sudden death ol
Miss llculah Ciillam, caused by a runaway
horse. Miss CJillam and hei
friend, Miss Alice Sojourner, were out
driving and had driven out on the
road to lh,-> Healing springs, a favorite
drive from Blackvillc. Numbers ol
buggies wore in a line coming from
the springs and a couple, of young tnen
undertook to drive by iss Sojourner's
horse, which was :i very spirited
animal.
Tlve horse commenced running am
soon got from under her control
though she is an excellent driver
Miss (iillam became very much exeit
ed and jumped from the buggy, strik
inher head.
SIh- never regained consciousnes:
and died ai 2 p. in. Monday. Mis:
Sojourner remained in the buggy un
til the horse struck a tree and Ihrev
her <iiiI. She was very badly bruis
ed and is confined to her bed. but he
injuries are by no means fatal.
Miss Ciillam is a daughter of Mrs
M. (iillam. a widow, who is proprie
tress of the Hotel Blackvillc. Mis
Ciillam was milliner for Win. Morri
son's millinery establishment and wa
a very popular young lady.
DISPENSARY EARNINGS.
Figures Show That tho County Groj
Shops Are Getting on in Spite
of Panic.
Columbia, April 20.?During th
quarter ending March 31sl, the conn
ty dispensaries sold $070.00-1.01 wortl
of whiskey in 2-1 counties, of whicl
one has since gone dry. On this busi
ness an average profit of 30 per eon
was made, the total profit beini
$208,0-1 I .OS. This is at the rale of ove
one million dollars a year profit.
A ('cording to the statement recent 1;
prepared by Comptroller Cienera
.luiics the Slate dispensary during il
13 years of business paid into th
State treasury for :i 11 purposes, th
sum of $11..H5.I07.57. The proportioi
of profit paid' to the counties am
towns varied at different times, bu
the total profit of the State dispell
sar\ business, even when there wer
dispensaries in II counties, did no
reach one million dollars per year o
13 million dollars in the 111 year
that it was in operation.
According to the report made b;
Dispensary Auditor West to C!ov. An
sel at the close of the fiscal year th<
total amount of sales by the count;
dispensaries (Turing the nine and
fraction months they were operatoi
in 1!)07 \\;is $2.(101, 003,-1.'! on whicl
the net profit declared was $005,050,
01. The business for a full year, or 1
months, runs easily in excess of thro
million dollars, which was high watei
mark for the State dispensary, whil
the profit of the county dispensar
system for 12 months runs in 'execs
of one million iTolars which the Stat
dispensary never dirt- attain, thong
its founder predicted il would. Thong
there are now dispensaries in only 2
counties, the profit from the count
dispensary system W so much great.1
than from the State dispensary an
it is all ditribnted between the com
tv and town, that as revenue produo;
the county disjvetisarvis going lo prov
more popular than I he old system, an
for the reason if for no other il
more difficult to vole il rut than
was to dose the county dispensaru
under the so-called lirice aet nndv
the State dispensary regime, when pr
