THE DISPENSARY BUSINESS.
As the time for the closing of
the bar rooms of the individual
citizens and the opening of the
great State bar room approach
es, interest in the dispensary
business is revived. The liquor
dealers’ association still keeps
"mum” and nobody knows yet
what steps it will take towards
testing the legality of the law,
but that the test will be made,
and made soon, there seems to
be little doubt.
In the meanwhile the State
authorities are busy preparing
to put the law in operation on
July 1, just as if there were no
question as to its legality. The
Agricultural Hall in Columbia
is being fitted up for the State
bar room. Two serious difficul
ties seems to confront the au
thorities, however, the one,
time, and the other, money. It
has been stated by one, whom
it is said knows whereof he
speaks, that it will hardly be
possible to have the bottles
alone, necessary for use, manu
factured by the time the law is
to go into operation. Again, it
is stated that $50,000, the sum
appropriated for the dispensary,
will not near suffice for the
State to conduct its liquor
business. The law prescribes
that the liquor sold must be on
ly of the purest kind and it is
alleged that $50,000 will not buy
near enough of this quality to
meet the demand. It is freely
predicted, therefore, that the
State will have to commence
dealing in liquors on credit.
The ultra prohibitionists are
not satisfied with the dispensa
ry law. They are opposed to
the sale of liquor on moral
grounds. They do not believe
in legalizing it and this is what
the dispensary system does
Their leaders will meet in Col
umbia shortly to decide what
course to pursue. Their object
is to prevent the establishment
of county dispensaries, so as to
come nearer having absolute
prohibition, but failing in this,
they will endeavor to have the
law as regards the sale of liquor
strictly enforced, accepting it
as the best that can be had at
present.
The liquor question has de
veloped three parties in South
Carolina and the fight on this
line in the next campaign prom
ises to be a triangular one.
We have now the prohibition
ists, the anti-prohibitionists,
and the advocates of the dis
pensary. This, indeed, gives
us a very interesting, but pen
plexing condition of affairs.

Mr. Charlie Stuckey has plant

Mr. H. M. Woodham has two
curiosities in the shape of a gun

five years old. The clock cost
about fifty dollars, is made of
wood and is still a good time
keeper. The cost of the gun
was seventy-five dollars and
Mr. Woodham says it is now
worth more than any of the new
guns.

berries and eating cabbages
and other early vegetables.
They are meeting many friends
and there is an unusual flow o

A SCHOOL CONGRESS.
To be Held at the World's Fair—Del
egates From This County,
During the week commencing
July 17, a Congress of the Rep
resentative Youth of the Public
Schools of America will be held
in Chicago as an auxilliary to
the World’s Fair. Every coun
ty in the United States is invit
ed to send delegates. Darling
ton county is entitled to five
delegates and the same number
of alternates and School Com
missioner Perritt has been re
quested by the managers of the
Congress to appoint them from
among the pupils of the schools
of the county. These delegates
mav be of either sex, but must
be between thirteen and twenty
years old. The Commissioner
is requested to appoint pupils
fitted for the position by reason
of their character and scholar
ship. Mr. Perritt now has the
matter under advisement and
will announce the appointments
through The News as soon as
they are made.

DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS.
A Communication from the Sheriff in
Regard to Them.
Editor Darlington News:
Will you be kind enough to
say to all taxpayers, against
whom I hold executions for last
fiscal year, that the law forces
me to make my report within
ninety days from date of receiv
ing said executions from the
County Treasurer. Now it is
not my desire to levy and in
crease cost to delinquents, and
if parties will come forward at
once and satisfy these claims
without second notice from me
or my deputies, it would save
money to them and trouble to
me. I am going to comply with
the law and no request outside
of the law net d be made.
Delinquents will take notice
and govern themselves accord
ingly.

Harris Lithia Water,
HARRIS’ LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C.
After a long and varied experience in the use of mineral waters from nmne
sources, both foreign and domestic, I am fully persuaded that the Harris Tita
ia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the kidnev ,
bladder unequalled by any other water of which I have made trial ^ antl
This opinion is based ui>on observation of its effects on mv imtio’.,.. .v
past three years, during which time 1 have prescribed it freely and
uniformly with benefit in the medicable maladies above mentioned ' ft Ino8 *
When failure to relieve has occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient
of the water, for my experience teaches me that from one to tnnnneV. D i
should be taken from two to four weeks, to secure its full remedial effects 11 y
