The counties ot- L'hion, Newberry, Marion, Oconee, l'iekens, Darlington, Horry, Lancaster and York will get none ol tin; surplus fund ot the dis pensary this vear ? according to an opinion from the office of the attorney general. It was not to he expected iliat < herokec would he a beneliclary, as i in? dispensary was voted out of that county hist year, and it was not s ipposed that Marlboro ami Green- I Aood would receive any ol the fund, tor they had had no dispcusiarics at any time. hollowing is the case as Mated by the eomjirojh'r general in his letter: ' 1 have received several eommuni eaiions in reference to the distribution ol the? profits front the {State dispen sary belonging to the State school fund, under the provisions of section I2f> of tin* cod e of ] <102, at; amended as the Brice bill, 24 slaty., 4s7, Several in 1S1MI, 2.1 slats., 112, and as fur ther amended by the act commonly Unown as the Hriee bill, 21, stats., 487. Several counties in the Slate have, since the passage of (lie last mention-* <?d act, voted that no dispensary shall ie located within them, and the act provides any county voting out a dis pensary shall not thereafter receive any part of the surplus that may re main of the dispensary school funds, after the delieiencies in the various county school funds have been made up as previously provided by law. "It seems clear that my duly is, lirsl, to apply so much of the net in come. derived by the State from the sale ol liquors under the dispensary law as miiy* be necessary to equalise the deficiencies existing in the various counties in the State after the appli cation of the three mill tax and the poll tax to run the public schools for t he t inie lived by law . " I ties ire to be advised, lirsl, wheth er the counties which have voted out (lie dispensaries within their borders are now entitled to receive any part ol the surplus thai may remain of the fl&spensary school fund after these de ficiencies above mentioned have been "Second, are such counties entirely excluded from pari icipat ing in the dis tribution now to be made, or are they to be allowed a pro rata share of such surplus in proportion to the time dur ing which said profits were earned and dispensaries wore located in such feminities. J here is another class ol counties embracing Greenwood and Marlboro which have no dispensary and never have had any. For this reason they have never \oted out a dispensary as specified in the Price act above refer red to. A re those counties deprived of the benefit <d" sharing in these sur plus school funds, <>r should they con tinue to share in the distribution of sjicb funds as they have done prior to /V his t imc ? ' ' Mr. Youmans on behalf of the at torney general .expressed the opinion of the office in the following language: "Answering your letter of Novem ber 4th to the attorney general asking to be adw.sed in reference to the dis tribution of the surplus that may re main of the dispensary funds after the deficiencies in the various county school funds have been equalized, as provided by the act of 1899, I beg to say, first : "That in my opinion the Briee act is clear in directing that any county voting out a dispensary slu^rfot re ceive any part of this surpms. The statutes providing for the distribution by the comptroller general refer to f lie distribution of these funds as they come into the State treasury, sub j jeCt. to his order. It does not content ; plate bis undertaking to ascertain 1 when or where thefts profits were earn ed. As soon as the funds reach the ! State treasury, subject to his order, j it is' his dutv to distribute them under I the existing/state of facts, i "if, when you undertake to make I this distribution, you II ml that certain | counties have voted out the dispensar I ies within their borders, you cannot pay over any part of these surplus j funds to such counties in face of the I prohibition of the statute that they shall not receive any part of such surplus. Such counties aro entirely excluded from part ieiuat ing in the surplus. "As to the counties of Greenwood I md Marlboro, mentioned by ion, they ! lo not come within the tervos of the .let, 'counties voting out a dispensary' I and aro therefore entitled to a share with the other counties of the State in the general distribution of the sur plus. These are the views of the at torney general." \fter all there is very little so fur 0 quarrel over, as but two payments f profits have been made since Jan inry 1st. One of these was $0<VJ~f>.77 >n the 10th of January :tn<l the other v?s .*2 >,000 on the ith of October.
