C. k ? claim, being made that the overhead expense of maintaining many small gangs is much greater than would be the expense of state gangs. The further argument is advanced that the State, even at a reduced expense, could give better facilities for caring for convicts. Another recommendation of the Board of Charities and Corrections is for the establishment of district hospital homes instead of county poorhouses. Where^several counties combined. eliminating much of the over head charged the poor from those counties could he maintained in much better surroundings at a lessened cost. The idea is along the lines of advanced sociology and would doubtless prove a blessing to many unfortunate people at present inadequately provided for undeiythe present system. Have you noticed a greater scarcity of liquor? Maybe not, bift the report of the chief stave constable shows that 117 stills weije^ destroyed in 1919 along with more than $1"8,()00 worth of 1 oze. '_ V There has been a gratifying increase in the value of the'stocks of South Carolina cotton mills during the year. Many of the stocks which sold some time aigo below paf are how bringing way above par. Many of the cotton mills have passed the great prosperity which has come to theih. to their operatives in increased wages and improved living bohditions. The state treasury began the year with a balance on hand of $1,100,146. Total receipts for the year 191? from all sources were $7,19&,109, while total disbursements were $6,913,500. The balanec on hand, against which there are still many unpaid claims, is in the neighborhood of a quarter ' mililon dollars in excess of the balance on hand at the beginning of the last fiscal year. 11 .. . ) EDISOJN AM { i. . . ,:? j i . | - Quick!
