OLD DISPENSARY BUILDING. State Dispensary Building Was Purchased for $12.5,500?Interest in the Bidding. % ? Columbia State, 5th. The old State dispensary building, located on Gervaig street lot, which was occupied by the Confederate mint, wa sold yesterday at auction by the State sinking fund commission to Christopher Atkinson of the Columbia Supply company for $125,500. At a meeting of the sinking fund commission held several months ago a minimum price of $100,000 was placed on the building. Later the building was offered for sale at the price but no bidders appeared. The first bid yesterday was for $100,100. The bidding was lively. The trrms of the sale were $500 on deposit at time of purchase, 20 per cent, of purchase price within 90 days, with bond and mortgage for the remainder, which is to be paid in eight: equal annual installments. The disipsnsary building is over 400 feet long and 50 feet wide and was erected about 20 years ago for a cotton warehouse. When the State dispensary was launched the building w*as purchased for a whiskey ware house. When the dispensary was abolished the sinking fund commission took over the property for the State. The commission failed to sell the building three years ago for $75,000. The sinking fund commission made some improvements on the building and rented it out as a storage warehouse. The structure has eight compartments and is provided with a standard sprinkler system, which was installed at a cost of about $5,000. l*"Airr*v rr* A TL'T* A TT A VT\ DOWN I> JACKSONVILLE I Feminine Mob Gathers to Stone Car.

This afternoon a party of about one dozen women stopped a Riverside car at the corner of Dale and May streets, apparently for the purpose of boarding it. When the car * had made a full stop, the women commenced throwing bricks], stones and glass "bottles. A hurry call was sent for militiamen, but the women made their escape. Today the Jacksonville Traction company announced that it was willing to recognize a local union, but positively would not recognize the Amalgamated association. The com pany says it is anxious and willing to bettie the differences in any way possible with the exception of recognizing the Amalgamated association. One car crew was attacked at Lie corner of Main and Seventh street this afternoon, the motorman and conductor being stoned by a small mob. Three shots were fired into an Oak ' land car this forenoon at the corner of Union and Washington streets, ihe assailants having hidden in a new building being erected at that corner. ; ----- . - . 01 the lo men arrested yrsteraay i for violence, only one wap fined in the"|: municipal court this morning. This 1 has caused much comment. { -t^^n < EXCEEDED APPROPRIATION. 1 Comptroller General Refuses to Hon- ; or Industrial School Warrants, < 1 Columbia, Nov. 4.?Because the leg- < isilature appropriated only $7,000 for 3 the erection of a dormitory at the l Industrial School at Florence and the 1 board let a contract for buildings t ? /-? ?

Section 377, of the criminal code, oi Volue 2, 1912, reads as follows: "It shall be unlawful for any public officer, State or county, authorized tc so contract, to enter into or contract, for any purpose whatsoever, in a sum in excess of the tax levied, or the amount appropriated, for the accomplishment of such purpose; or to divert or appropriate the funds arising from any tax levied and collected for any one fiscal year to the payment of any indebtednes contracted or incurred for any previous year, and on violating the provisions of this section, he shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $5,000 and not less than ?500, and by imprisonment at hard ^ibor in the State penitentiary for a period not exceeding five years or less than one year, or either or both, in the discretion of the court." i KILLS STEPFATHE R-IN-LAW.

South Carolina As Seen by a Yankee* South Carolina is a State of perpetual irritation, situated between Georgia and North Carolina, and somewhere between the Revolution and the war between the sections. It is the fighting State in the Union, and is the unsafest spot between the Atlantic and the Pacific in which to discuss the emancipation proclamation or to sdit a newspaper with a trenchant ?nn. South Carolina is about as big as *- - * ?? j if n ftl,oi lrin p\ -lit; rruiii )aiu ui a. i w.w.v> 0. ft contains 30,000 square miles, is ' shaped like a 5 cent cut of pie, and has ' 1,500,000 people including republicans, Chinese and Indians rot taxed. The population is almost equally divided between whites and negroes, but one ivhite Carolinian when he gnashes his :eeth and draws in his breath with a : low, hissing sound can make 100 color ?d residents go and a change of clinate without waiting for the next roin i aiii. South Carolina was settled about j' ?50 years ago, but has- remained un-1 settled ever since. It has always been loted for its nervous disposition and .ts willingness to rise up and smite ;he universe on all occasions. The British were having an easy time in he revolution when they struck South Carolina, but Gen. Marion soon made hem look like a republican who has 3 :riticised Gen. Lee in Charleston. The state helped win the revolution, but .hreatened to take its doll things and ;o home in Jackson's administration, md in 1861 it opened the War Between ' he Sections by seceding with a proligious explosion. Later it contributed Tillman to the United States senate md has listened to the uproarious remits with pride ever since. South Car>lina was severely shaken bv earthluake in 1SV<>. but. did not >.eced: at hat time.
