Inspectors Reports.
Dispensary inspectors hereafter
according to hio order issued by
Commissioner Tatnm a short time
ngo, must be prepared to swear to
the accuracy of their report on
each dispeioary checked up. Thin
order is the result of the discovery
that many shortages occur by the
use of dummies or half empty
casos that have been checked by
the inspectors as full cases. Mr.
Tatum stated that after the shortage
in Charleston and a recent one
in the upper part, of the State lie
was convinced that the inspections
heretofore have been too perfunctory.
lie discovered that cnses
supposed to be full contained only
one-half the number of bottles or
be entirely empty. This, it is said,
happened sometime ago With a
dispenser in Fairfield county. All
inspectors were then notified that
every box must be inspected and
tin* inspector absolutely satisfied
