EDITOR HULL ELECTED MAYOR Mr. J. J. Hull, the genial editor of the Rock Hill Herald, who has a great many friends among our readers in tliiscountv. was elected mnvr?r r\f ^ , J ..Vy hustling city of Itock Ilill last wook by a majority of 4 to 1. Tlio following reforenco to tho i election and to Mr. Hull was 1 written by tho Rock Ilill corres- ( pondent of the Charlotte Obser- ] Ter and will no read with ' pleasure: 1 Tho municipal oloction passed , off horo quietly today. A very < good vote was polled for this i city, as our people take less in terest, perhaps, than any other city of seven thousand people. The returns give J. J. Hull 21o votes, against 52 for J J Waters for mayor. E. R. Avery, alder man at large for one year term, and J. M. Cherry from ward 4, were olected without opposition. B N. Craig for alderman at large, two year term, received 14o, against 116 for J.A. Shinn. From ward 1, C. H. Branson got 24 votes, and J. W. O'Neal got 21. Mayor J. J. Waters did not allow his name to be announced until last Saturday evening, when his candidacy for mayor became known, lie has made a conscientious officer, and has faced many perplexing and difficult questions during his two terms of office. Mr. J. J. IIull is the editor and proprietor of the Rock Hill Herald. He was horn in Charlotte May 11, 1851, his father, Win. Hull, then living on South Tryon street. When J J. Hull was a child his father moved his family to Chester, where the former was raised. His father was a Con federate soldier, and his son has at all times been ready to do honor to the memory of the southern soldier. As a recog nition of his zeal in such causes ho is an honorary member of the Confederate Veterans' Asso ciation. Mr. Hull's mother, upon tho loss of her husband in 1801, returned to Charlotte, and having taken up the printer's trade, he was one of the printers who got out tho first issue of the Charlotte Observer in 1S69. Soon after this he went to Lancaster, where he met and married Miss Sue Boyd, a daughter of Mr. J. B. Boyd, a merchant of that place. In 1878 lie was induced to go to Chester, where lie became one of the organizers of the Chester Bulletin For business reasons ho returned to Lancaster in 1S79, becoming one of the originators of the Lancaster Review. Receiving a Mattering offer from the late J. M Ivy of this place, and thinking that Rock Hill offered a splendid opening for journalism, Mr. Hull came to this town in January, 1892, becoming editor of The Rock Hill Herald. Upon the aeath of Mr. ivy, Mr. Hull purchased the Jpaper, which is a part of the town and community in all good work. Mr. Hull is not a politician. Three years ago, while sick at his home, he was told at 12 o'clock that his name was on the municipal ticket as a candidate for alderman at largo, lie was elected. Ho was put in charge of the street work, and it is evident that the citizens think he did his duty well in that capacity. From the day he came to Rock Hill ho has worked for tho city's advancement, and his pen has been activo in season and out of season. He has sung the city's praises, he has, at timos boasted of her people, her thrift and her future. Ho has at all times ably defended her against any seeming slur or detraction. His vote today was merely a recognition by our people of service rendered. Hero for twentv vfuir.n hn Una J J - v- - ? labored He has roared his fami ly. Now ho is called upon to accept the highest honor the citizens can pay him. MclealtAv IMamrrrj.

Crawford Bros. TWO-AND-A-HALF MILLION DOLLARS. Dispensary Sales tor Past Year? Where the Profits Hare Hone. The annual report of the board of directors of the State dispensary whs filed last Saturday with the governor, giving a summary of the State's liquor business for the year 1902. The report reads as follows: To His Excellency, M. B. MoSweeney, Governor of South Carolina * VVe have the honor to submit herewith a statement of the business done by the State and county dispensaries during the fiscal year endiug Nov. 30, 1902. Ky reference to the several statements hereto attached you will note that the total cost for the year, of liquors, beer, wines^ etc., has amounted to $1,GG4,870, 77, and the total sales (exclusive of fresh beer) have been $2,400,213, 50. The net earnings for recount of the school fund for the fiscal year, which have been placed to its credit, have arnouuted to$123, G99.57. The net profits that have ac crued to, and have been equally divided between the counties and town have been $443,198 7G. We have paid from our assets into the school fund one semi-annual ?r.n 1 ?mi r- >j uiniu *ii tpuv;,wu.iw, Jtnu Will, 'thill two weeks, pay $50,000.00 more, looking to a reduction ot the school fund, us required byact of general assembly, approved February 26, 1902. In addition to that, we have paid the qnarterly earnings as they have accrued in favor of the school fund for the nine months since this act be come effective, which amounted to $92 755.91, making the total payments for the school fund for the year amount to $142,755,91. Add to this the amounts paid the town and counties we hnd that our grand total of payments for ?L. * * me year ior puDUC purposes amounts to $585,954,67. You will note that the total net earnings of the State and coun ty dispensaries for the several funds abore mentioned amount to $266,898.33. The act approved February 26, 1902, requires us to' reduce the school fuud to $400,000 by the 1st of January next, and if ''school fund" is interpreted to mean stock iu hand, |we have to report that this requirement is impossible of accomplish raent if we are expected to meet the public demand for the various kinds of liquors, beer and wines, etc. Since the State is attempting to enforce a monoply of the sale of liquors, we have felt it our duty to trv as nearly as is consistent with good business principles, to supply every legiti mate demand tor the popular brands of liquors, and if we keep in stock a resonable supply of each kind, it necessarily involves the investment of a large sum of money. You can readily see that if we do not maintain our stock, these brands required by consumers and not furnished hv no will be imported from abroad for pernonal use, or by bliud tigers. We have now in county dis pensaries alone a stock of $405,195,05, which is not excessive for this season of the year. <?
