THE HORRY HBR,
LIQUOR BOARD
FACES PUZZLE
Can't .See Way Out at
Winding Up Affairs of
Dispensary
THE HUGE STOCK IS
RAPIDLY MELTING
Probable the Month's Sales
Will Surpass All Expecta- j
tions
An
amendment of the prohibition
law, or an independent act of the Gen- j
oral Assembly of the State of South
Carolina, will be necessary to allow
.i:~~ 1
mi; viun iv;oiKii (.A/uiiij uiopt'IlSiiry
board, as well as like boards in other
counties, to wind up its affairs, which
includes the discharging* of employees,
the discharging of their bonds, paying
of their salaries, disbursements
of profits, paying off of debts, paying
of rental for some 20 retail and whole
sale depots and like business; if the
general interpretations put upon recently
rendered opinion of attorney I
general relative to the prohibition law I
is correct. 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

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.
