BIU to be Prepared to Abolish Dis? pensary Commissions in Dry Coun? ties. Columbia, Jan. 18.?As a result of a conference held this afternoon by legislative representatives from sev? eral of the counties that voted against the sale of whiskey last Au? gust, the board of control in those counties may soon be dismissed. A hill to this effect will be drawn up and presented to the legislature for action. The proposition will also be embodied in the bill that one com? missioner shall be named In each of the counties to take charge of the funds and arrange for the further winding up of the affairs of the coun? ty dispensaries in the now dry coun? ties. This commissioner would draw a nominal salary for his service. Senator Black, of Bamberg, to? night explained the object of such a measure. He stated that in nearly all the counties that went dry the funds have been tied up. at least a portion of the funds, In claims of whiskey houses, and in three or four of the counties all stock has not been disposed of. This means that under the Act of 1900 the county boards must remain in office, said Act pro? viding that the boards shall stay in office until the final settlement of the dispensaries affairs. It is further ex,-* planned that the expenses of keeping1 these boards in office is too much for the several counties. In round num? bers each of these members of coun? ty boards draw $400 a year, making $1.200 per year In each of the coun ti s. The Abbeville board has re? signed voluntarily, it is state!, and the amount Involved in fourti ? n counties would be $11,800 per year. This doel not Include the expense of clerk of the board, which expense varies in different C unities, being St high at $100 in some of thecounties. Of course, there are other incidental expenses in keeping the boards In of? fice. The funds in several counties have been lied up to secure the overjudg ments of the state dispensary wind lng-up commission, it It stated that expenses In some counties might reach the limit of going beyond the amount Involved in the old claims, for there is no telling when the whole matter will be oul of the courts, it is to relieve this situation that a bill with be drawn. Senator Black stat ed that in his county the expense are heavy, and be added, "You can't blame the memb< it of the board. They are required to keep in hands the funds and hold office until th fairs are wound up. And you blame a man from drawing a sal It is felt that the expenses wi practically done away with by the appointment of a commissioner der the bill for the several countb volved. Mr. Bruce L.yr.am, who has had several bicycles stolen recently, laid a trap for the thief last Monday and almost succeeded in losing another wheel with which he baited the trap. The wheels which he lost were stolen from in frmt of Levl Bros.' store, and thinkir g it about time for the bicycle thief to be looking for an? other, so he borrowed Mr. W. H. Cut tlno's wheel and -placing it on the sidewalk in front of the store about 6.30 that evening he concealed him? self inside Ihe store and kept watch for the thie'. Th<? thief came as ex? pected, but he seized the wheel and was off wit a it sd quickly that Mr. Lynam had hard work in overtaking him. He n.ade a strenuous pursuit, however, and pressed him so closely that the nerro abandoned the wheel in the rear of the Court House and succeeded in making his escape. The negro lost iis hat, but he has not been identifed, although it is hoped that he may yet le captured. He is probably th? one who has stolen a number of wheels within the past few months and if be can be cap tured and put on the gang, wheel owners will feel easier.
