The legislativo committee ap pointed to inspect the books of the State dispensary has just given out the following report of its oxamina tion. To His Excellency, W. H. Ellerbe, Governor: Sir: The committee met on Wed nesday, October 19th, 1808, and pro ceeded to examine the books and financial transactions of the State dispensary for the quarter ending September 30th, 1898. The stock of liquors and supplies on hand was taken on October lst by Mr. D. F. Efird on the part of the corimittee, and Messrs. J. B. Douthit and D. M. Miles representing the board of control. The amount of inventorios taken appears upon the statement of the assets.and liabilities hereto attached ---all stock and supplies wvere actual ly exhibited, counted and valued. W. kave exaimined the original in voices of all liquors and espplies purchse*d during the past quarter and also all vouchers for disburse ments made. We findl the books and entries therein corret. jThe0 balance shoot for the quarter ending Septemboc- 80th and the statement of assets and liabilities and-of friofit and loss wereb checked by the books. We append to) this report cop>ies of the statemenat, and also a copy of the cash statomiont for the quarter.' -The State. Treasurer's report shows on September 30th balance of cash nState treasury, $74,059.97. The cbook of the dlisponsar-y shows on t $0aySG,055.75, a difoerence of $IOb. 2 more in t.he St ato treas ury thani ca alle~d for by the books o*f the dispensg y. This ditterence is accountedj forL'b No unlpaid checks issued previous to tii 80th of Sop tomb)er, aImounting to t g004.22. We arevery uch p sodl with Wosuggest that the State Boatir of Conrolatonce try and make-:.soc e arrangement with the railroads to receive goods from the platform of the State dispensary when shipments are less than car load lots, so .as to curtail expense of drayage. We are glad to report that there is no shortage aceuits outstanding, against local di~jspss- for this * quarter. We also note .dat $10,000 have been turned over to the State Treasurer, during the past qutarter, for the school fund. Respe6tfnlly''submitted, Wir,nuAu H. MAIJLoDs, .Senator. A. K.

Thoy Donmonstre4to.it 'Tuat They Would P'ay Ondy Fivo.Ci4.. (Savannah Morning News.) The Savannah, Thundorbolt and o Isle of Hope railroad found early q that it was reduced to the necessity o of putting the fare between tho Dale avenue camp and the city down to 5 , cents. It did not take the conductors and a motorien of the road long to find r out that they could not collect 10 d cents froi the soldiers for a farm one d way, and they did not hesitato to ro port the mattor promptly to the of.l cial. of the read. Just before the fares were reduced a party of sol- i diers, about .15 in number, vent on* ' on one of thre cars to the camp. When they arrived at the junction and started for the camp from that point an effort was miadoe to collect ci another fare from them. This the tl soldiers reinsed to pay, saying they ~ could not afford more thanr 5 cents g for a ride to the camp. The conductor and umortorman of the car had their ordoers, and1 they set a to work attemp.ting to collect the ad- i ditional 5 cents. [ "You wvill have to pay or get off," the conductor said. n "WVe won't pay and we wvon't get st off," said one of thre sroldiers' tl "Thor I will niot run the car,'' put at mn the ruoniormanr. "All right, we've got a motorman of our own," remarked oner of the L soldiers as lhe took hold of the con troleor and( started the car. T1hos ol. Ii diers car,'ied theinselvyes out to the A camp, told the cond(uctor and motor- ge man good [light, and got off. g T1he citizens of Savannah are now i asking the question why they should h pay anry more than 10 cents to ride f, out to the camp and back. Many of C them consider it an attempt on the y part of the comp lanysto gouge. They (10 not think it wvort.h any more to ridle out to Dale avenue and1( back 'y than to ride aro'und tire belt, uand a they considoir it unjust that they should be charged 15S cents for thre roulnd trip. Savanrnahiansr pay more probably for street car fares for thre t dlistanico traveled and get loss no comnmodation than is paid anywhere 5 else in tis country.

C., Observer will biow the impression made by our Inior sonator when he spoke in that ity last week: Yesterday was a grelit day for 'ayettoville and the Capo Fear coun ,y. It was the occasion of the peaking in behalf of the restoration f white rule in North Carolina by enator B. R. Tillman, the liberator f South Carolina. Instead of the beautiful October eather which we had been having, io weather changed on Thuriday ight. It began to rain about 1 n. 1., Friday morning oponed with i own pour arnd bhero wore showers tiring the most of the day. The number has been variously it-imated at from seven to ten thou stid. Many of the multitudle who ned the streets and filled the win L)ws on route were unale to aIttendl to speakinig. The great outpouring of the pee Io under snehi adverso circuilan 'M is suggestive. It should csii( iose who pul~rsuo the business of Aitics to stop and think. What is to secret of the magic in Tillmans's ime ? Simply that tihe great body the plain people -those who con ituto intlotnthIs of 0onr vot ers-bo v in his honesity anid truthfull ,ls. As ad1vertisedl, the Fspealking was t,lth fair grounds. 'rhe judge's and on the race track was 'ised for to speakers' standl, andl the grand and :mnd many iows of b)enchos coin ituted t he aIuditoriumn. '[hli procession started1 from the afayetto htotel at a little before velvo o'clock.

He is altogether out of the common1.

Thetspeaker apologized for having to say such plain things about his hospitablo entertainers, but he wias invited to como as an export to ding nose the disonso of the North Caro lin- pationt and his task would bo useless if he failed to use the sur goon's knife unflinchingly. But he mufltitude aRsured him that aint was precisely what they wanted hiin to do, and they yellod with do light at every ent into tho sor% or machine politics.

If there wore any p)re.i ent whose toes were trod on, they have discroorly3 kept quiet. It is conceded on all handls thait, the great South Carol inianns speech produced a profound imi)pi essioni up jon the Democrats anid Populists, and that it catiised miiany of the latter to return to the white maii's party.
