THE STATE TO LADLE BUDGE South Carolina Takes Hold of the Saloon Business for the Profits Thereof , SOMETHING NEW IN THE LIQUOR LINE Itar lloomi nnd Olnli llnuurn ll | iniieil M Ith nnd n .Monopoly Conferred on the Slate rrlnrlpnl IVnturc * of the I.n\T-l.lmlt of front. A few monthi ago n South Dakota town talked seriously of going Into the saloon business as u municipal invest ment. Under the benign influence of prohibition'groggerius ' and still alarm joints nourished nnd the drug store prospered as never before. The trafllc was beyond regulation , and being unublo to suppress the business or license it under the law , the city father- ) conceived a plan of establishing a municipal saloon or two and turning the profits into the tieasury. But the plan was ridiculed and hooted into oblivion. What Sioux Falls originated and dropped , the commonwealth of South Carolina , under sanction of n law passed l > y the last legislature , proposes to put into execution on and after the 1st of July. The law will close up all bar rooms and club houses , for the net expressly outlaws such establishments. It will create a monopoly on a trade that has hitherto been free as the air. It will make the sign , "For lent , bar room , " become an all too familiar one , espec ially in towns nnd cities , and last , but by no means least , it will change the dig nified and honorable chief executive of the fioveroitrn state of South Carolina from plain B. R. Tilltnan , gov ornor of the state of South Carolina , into B R. Tillman , wholesale dealer in and dis- j3tiser of wines , liquors , beer and all kinds of intoxicating drinks nnd inci dentally governor of the stato. The supreme power of the now order of things alcoholic will be vested in a state board of control , consisting of the governor , the comptroller general and the attorney general. This board is to nmko rules for the proper gover nance of the state commissioner , who is appointed b } the governor. Each county is to have its board of control , consisting of three discreet persons appointed by the state board. The members of the county boards must all be total ab stainers , nnd thoj in turn are to appoint one dispenser for each county except Hiehlaiul , which will have three , and Charleston , which will have ten. Ironclad rules are made , so there will be no dallj ing with the provisions of the act. Ono of the most peculiar parts of the law is the phrase that was inserted at the last minute saying that in all cases the state dispenser , who buvs all the liquor , is to give the ad vantage to the homo manufacturers. This clause , it is said , was inserted nt the instance of the representatives of the Palmetto brewery , Charleston , who ottered decided inducements in consid eration therefor. The state board of control will in turn bo controlled by Governor Tillman , who will thus become , in fact , the boss bartender of the state. lie is taking the greatest interest in all the preparations for the establishment of the system and is himself personally superintending the w ork. During the past ton days he , in com pany w ith his recently appointed state commissioner , D. M. Traxlor , started out on a trip to the west to see about buying a good stock of the btutt for opening up on July 1. There wore sev eral condemned murderers waiting to bo ranged , but the governor , just before rls departure , respited all those about whom there was any doubt for sufficient time to allow him to look into their cases after his return , and ho and his Irst lieutenant wont on their way rc- oicrng. They will , it is presumed , try nil the jrunds of liquor in Cincinnati , then sample thoroughly the St. Louis beer , and on their icturn trip will come by Kentucky nnd see what kind of mountain dew is distilled in the famous Blue Grass country. As there is but one way to test whisky , and that by tasting , it may M > naturally concluded that the governor will have quite a time of it before he gets back , especially considering the fact that tie has never been much addicted to the Use of strong drink of an } kind. When his excellency gets back from Iris sampling expedition , ho will imme diately bet about to choose the right kind of men to whom should bo intrusted the most important ollico of guarding and dispensing the wares of the state bar rooms. Ho will look to all these little points himself. At some time in the near future the chief executive will visit every town and city in the state to choose the proper person to conduct the dispensaries and the most advantageous place for their location. This last will be an all-important matter in the con duct of the business , for the dispon-aries vv ill have to bo put in such places that they will bo able successfully to compote pete with the blind tigers with which every hamlet will abound. All tlio largo towns and cities will , of course , biifTor to an alarming extent , be cause the municipalities will bo deprived of their chief source of taxes , and many plucca of business will be closed up en tirely. But the railroad companies will not suffer much. Whisky will bo shipped in rice barrels nnd cheese boxes' and lard firkins and every other con ceivable kind of shape. It will , in fact , bo a return to the old system of blockade running so largely practiced hero during the ' 60s. Some considerable trouble if , antici pated at the very outset of the new sys tem. By the terms of the novel law only $50,000 is sot aside for the establish ment of the dispensaries system , and it is supposed It will bo moro than bclf-sup- porting thereafter. A glance at the fig ures will show that this amount will bo far too small to start the dispensaries on business principles and purchase the necessary stock of liquor. At the very lowest estimate it will take 100 barrels of rye at $5" ) n barrel , and the bettor grade at $110 a barrel ; then in corn liquor SCO barrels would bo but a "drop in the bucket. " H will bo seen that if these estimates are in any way correct tlio $30,000 would bo moro than ex pended m the purchase of these few brands. It is the purnoso of the dispen saries to handle every class of goods for which there is any demand. So the state will evidently have to l > egin on a credit basis. But there's the rub , for the wholesale liquor dealers are agreed that crediting the state of South Carolina lina just now is rather risky , and cspec lally as the government cannot bo sued. In addition , they contend that the law will IKI dropped irr a short time , and if they sell to the tate bar room the local dealers will certainly bovcott them when the day of tribulation is past and the orig inal cafe comes into vogue once rnoro. About the hardest blow of all , it is thought , will bo that which strikes the tnousands of consumers , and there will probably bo considerable weeping and gnashing of teeth when the "bar around the corner" is abolished , for despite all assertions to the contrary , the price of grog-many contend , will certainly rise. t'nilnr the law the iKftvi nnd the- county dlsiMMwries recclvejmieh a profit of " > 0 per cent. If the limit of i profit is charged the cost will be ! heavier than nt present. For instant , the very poor est class of llquoryvvould wwt * 1- " > a gallon ; with this 50 per cent to the state it vMiftld b run tip to $1.07 , nnd with thef > 0 per cent to the county to .fiO. Add to this the cost of then. ! , bottles nnd the bottling , and the co wlll bo $3. . " > 0 , or , if sold in half-pint llasks , at the rate of 2U cents per half pint. ' Even If the cost of the battling is ttiki-n out of the profits the state cannot self's cheaply as the dealers If the f 0 per cent , is added. Goods that cost $ -.2. " ) are sold by all the local dealers nt 2.1 cents per half pint , dim whisky that costs Jl.'i'i to $1.V ; > a gallon is sold hero at 15 cents per half pint or 2."i cents per pint. Perhaps it is the purpose of the pro hibitionists to raise tiie price of the goods and in that way mlnlrni/e the con sumption. But those who have advo cated the law as a money-making scheme , will , no doubt , bo in favor of the business principle of "Quick sales and small profits. " A I'nrty .Mllu Itldr.

In the beginning of 1727 Bradford per manently increased the si/e of his paper to one whole sheet of fools-cup , or four pages. Before that time It had been two or four pages , us the amount of news | available required. In winter there was j only ono mail In a fortnight from abroad | and communication with Alb.rny wus drlllcnlt. Hence news was scarce und the small paper was the rule.
