(?) In order to have a clear conception of the meaning of these llgures they may he compared with other expenditures of government. It is a conservative as sumption to take the quarter of the year under consideration as a fair sum pleof tho year's operations. It is the busiest season of the farmers' vear. with less money on hand for necessa ries, not to speak of luxuries, Thodis' \y try board soom to have experienced this, for in tho June report it is an nounced that prices were reduced in two of the dispensaries.

'The hoard reports the profits for the quarter as being $14,310.77, at the rate of {(57,242.19 for the year.

One other bonc lleiary of the dispensary remains to be mentioned. The Federal Government - as its share $100,000, and reports from the county, in internal revenue and tariir taxes on the purchaser of the goods, '(7 per cent, of it going to sup port the army, navy and Federal pen sion rolls, !t is doubtful whether the six dispen saries of Aiken county are promoting temperance more than the great pro hibition wave that has swept over this and most other counties during recent years. The saloon has been banished from more than half of the national domain through local option and pro hibition enactments. The liquor traffic has been w holly prohibited in six State s and extensively cut shorl in thirty-four others. In 1870 there woro only 3,500, 000 persons living in dry territory; in 1900 the number was 18,350,000; in l!M>7 il was 33,000,000. However, the Fed eral reports show that in 1884 the con sumption of liquors per bead of the population was 11*J gallons, while in 1006 the consumption had risen to 22.27 gallon.-, a head. For the year ending lane 30, I!tu7, there was 11,409,252 gal lens of whiskey more consumed than in the preceding year.
