The opinion of the at- j torney general, given a week or ten days ago, is locally interpreted as meaning that everyone in any way i connected with the dispensaries will no longer have power to act officially ;ifter the stroke of midnight, December 31. Expensive Winding Dp. "The consequences of such a strict interpretation of the letter of the lawwill be far reaching and disastrous, necessitating great expense to the county," it was said, authoritatively j liere today. "Literally, the opinion rendered by the attorney general i mans that the dispensary law stops in its tracks when the clock strikes 12 on i die midnight of Friday week and the lispensary boards, as well as other lispcnsary officials, pass out of ex^ istence. "Consider the expense this will mean to the county and city. It will be necessary for a bill to be introduc| ed and passed in the Legislature before the affairs of the board can be wound up in a businesslike manner.! The inspector can not take stock j :\nd the board will have no means of mowing what it has on hand. The board won't know how much money it owes and couldn't pay it, if it did: know. All officials are bonded, and these bonds can't be discharged. "The board lias rented about 20 \ places for the storing and selling cf; its stock in trade. These rents will continue." Run Through December 31. When it was suggested thai the board might arrange to close the dispensaries in advance of 'the date when they will be closed by iaw and thereby prepare the inventory and check up the books, it was pointed out that this could not be done and that the d'-pensr : must remain open until th.e last minute. T o vlcrstaading is that the board ha. arranged to have the railroads run a number of empties alongside the warehouse on East Bay street late in the day on December 81. Where it appears that there will be 100 or more cases bought from any particular firm left on hand when the prohibition law goes into effect such goods will be loaded into the cars and a hill of lading received. The board feels justified in taking this step to save the county as much money as possible. When iho goods were bought several months ago it was arranged to return all that remained unsold on December 31. Of course it will be impossible to make a correct estimate of the total amount that will be loft on hand, and It is expected that the value of the goods unsold and not shipped back will total several thousand dollars. Heavy Sales. At the beginning of December, the Charleston board had about $200,000 1 worth of liquors and wines on hand. When stock was} taken December 20 i tl ere was only about .$85,000 worth on i hand and since that date the sales have been exceptionally heavy. The board was anticipating total sales toI day alone of between $10,000 and $15j 000. Yesterday, the board signed j (hccl-.s for $t00:000 in payment to the ; wholesalers for 1 iciuoi* recently sold. Ho fore it goes out of existence the board has planned to pay the wholesalers a reasonable proportion of the money due them according to the board's books. Care will bo taken by the oflicials in paying debts to see that th? board retains an amount of money equivalent to what its profits are \ I 1 (kLD, OONWAY, 8. 0. estimated to be and a margin of several thousand dollars to guard against any mistakes. The board, it is understood, feels that it would be unjust to its creditors to go out of business without paying them a reasonable proportion of the money due and prob ably leave them in position to wait until the necessary legislation has been enacted for them to get anything at all. Can't Distribute Profits. "Not only will the board be unable to pay its debts, but if it has interpreted the opinion of the attorney general correctly, it will be left with a large amount of money; represent ing the huge profits of recent sales on hand. These profits cannot be disbursed and the institutions due to receive them will suffer thereby," it is stated. The dispensaries in Charleston will continue to sell liquor until sundown. December 31. It would require three dispensers two days from that time to take stock of what the dispensaries have on hand, and the board will therefore, apparently be at a loss to know the correct condition of its affairs when the prohibition law goes into effect. A vast amount of the various brands of liquor purchased by the board in anticipation of large sales the last few weeks has been disposed of.
