Oct 17 DISPENSARY PROFITS. What the Moral Institution Earns in Sumter County. For the quarter jost ended the dispensaries in Sumter County earned for the county $2,313 99. The City of Sumter received $1,439 76, the town of Bishopville received $630 43 and thc town of Mayesville $243 ?1 The profits for the correct quarter are ex? pected to be mach greater than for the past quarter. At this rate the City of Sumter will receive for the year nearly as much as was paid for liceoses under the old bar sys? tem, and Mayesville will receive more than the license system paid, while Bisbopville's dispensary profits is clear gain, for there were no bars io that town.
