HOW IT WORKS

DISPENSARY SYSTEM

IN
MR. A. E. GRIFFETH TALKS
LAID TO REST.
And Gives Some Interesting Figures
as to Profits. Sales. Etc-—The
Dispensary Is Working
Like a Charm.
the
the
The report of . the manager of
DUpensary has been made for
month of November.
There are some interesting figures in
the report, and it is especially inter
esting now to review the workings of
the Dispensary for the past two
months.
Hr. ▲. E. Griffeth, one of the com
missioners was seen by a Bakiuk re
porter yesterday and asked about the
report, and the condition of the Dispen
sary's affairs jn«t at this time.
He replied that the Dispensary was
getting along nicely and as he thought
in a thoroughly satisfactory manner.
Its management had been in thorough
compliance with the law, and the
house had been kept orderly and quiet
in every respect.
“As to the profits made by the din.
pensary, the figures given in the report
of the clerk of council show only the
sales ana expenditures, and do not give
a correct idea of the profits,” said Mr.
Griffeth.
Under this head, for instance the
tales for November amounted to $5,700
in round numbers and
the expenditures were $6,400,
thus showing an apparent loss ol $700,
because the item of stock on hand is
not considered.
To show what the dispensary has done
for the last two months, and thus to get
some idea as to its sales and profitB the
following figures will serve to illus
trate:
Purchases for Oct. and Nov., $14852
Sales for Oct. and Nov., $12892.
Stookon hand Dee. 1st, $7016.
Now the excess of purohasesover sales
Is $1960, which subtracted from $7016,
the amount of stock on hand leaves
$6056 as the profits of the dispensary
leaving out the question of expense.
The expense account foots up the sum
Of $2,944 which subtracted from $5,066,
leaves the sum of $2,112, which repre
sents the net profits of the dispensary
for the months of October and Novem
ber.
It must be borne in mind that the ex
' penses are heavy now, including such
items as license, fright, bottles, jugs,
salaries, etc., which of course cut down
the profits.
Of course the result of two months
show in some respect how the dispensa
ry is working and yet it will take sever
al months yet until a correct estimate
can be placed upon it.
It is undoubtedly the accepted ver
dict that the dispensary isja success and
that it his solved the vexed liquor pro
blem for Clarke county.
Funeral of Mrs. Frierson Yesteraay
Afternoon.
Sunday morning about three o’clock
Mrs. S. H. Frierson breathed her last

STRIKERS’ FAMILIES SUFFERING.
TUe Miners of Brasil Coal District Want
to Return to Work.
Brazil, Ind., Dec. 7.—A majority of
the miners of the Brazil district of the
Block coal fields believe that the strike
is breaking, at least in the Block dis
trict. They say that they were assured
when they struck that their demands
would be granted within ten days
two weeks, and were also promised
sufficient funds to live as well dnring
the strike as when they were at work.
After waitiug five weeks tbeir demands
have not been granted, and they have
received bat 15 cents per head thus
far.
The miners of the Brazil district have
several times petitioned the executive
board at Terre Haute to call a am
meeting and give all of the miners a
chance to vote on returning to work,
but this was refused them. They now
assert that a meeting will be called
within the next few days for this pur
pose irrespective of the board, and that
if the voice of the meeting is for return
ing no action of the board will stop
them. They say that many families of
miners are penniless, and even without
a crust to eat, and their suffering is be
coming alarming.
ence year Sunday morning Rev. T. R.
Kendall said:
“I can truthfully say when a few
short mouths ago I came into youi
midst *1 was a stranger and ye took me
in’ most graciously and warmly. When
we landed at tbe depot and brotherly
bands clasped ours for the first time in
welcome like the preachers atAppii
Forum met from Rome, ‘We thanked
God and took courage.’ ”
“Coming under guidance of these good
Samaritans o the parsonage elect wo
men rave us such kindly greeting in
the Master’s name that like Jacob
when met by the angels at Mabanaim
we said this is God’s host.
This first meeting with the repre
sentatives of the congregation became
the trysting place for a love which up*
on our part has grown larger and stron
ger to the present moment for all the
flock.
Were it in my power the closing Con
ference year should be signalized by
the lifting of every burden and sorrow
from hearts. Whatever good has been
accomplished through me has been a
repetition of God’fe favorite plan of
having “the lame to take the prey” and
choosing tbe weak things to confound
tbe wise.
Before saying “good bye” to the
Conference year; I ask tbe benediction
of your prayers. Any messages we may
send each oth“r by the way of the.
throne of grace will reach their desti
nation witnouc possibility of failure.

Rumor after rumor gets out to that
effect, and are denied.
The Atlanta Journal tells the follow
ing:
It was rumored in the Kiser building
this morning that a receiver would be
appointed for tho Richmond and West
Point Terminal.
It is said that the receiver would be
asked for by tbe former owners of the
stock of tbe Georgia company.
Coming on the heels of the recent
“slump” in the stock of the Terminal
company, many believe the runi->r, al
though it is denied by railroad officials
“sell your STOCK ”
“Sell your Termiual stock as soon as
you can,” said a stock broker to
promiuent Alabama street banker this
morning, and that is where the rumor
started.

THE GEORGIA COMPANY.
Some years ago prominent Georgians
obtained in North Carolina a charter
for a company known as the 'Georgia
company.
This company was given permission
by tbe state of North Carolina to pur
chase railroads.
They bought the Central and its
branch lint s Tbe stock of the Central
was pooled and Qeo-gia company stock
was offered for it.
THE TERMINAL SWALLOWS IT.
The Georgia company stock
pooled with the Terminal stock
certain series issued m its place.
Now it is said the holders of the
Georgia company series of Terminal
stock are asking at some obscure point
on some of the Terminal lines that s
receiver be appointed.
THFY WANT PROTECTION.
It is saidtbat a numb.tr of them claim
that the lines controlled by the Termi
nal are being mismanaged; that som<
practical railroad man must take hold
of the company and strengthen it out or
tbe stockholders will lose.
It is known that a prominent city of.
fleial sold over 800 shares of the stock
shortly after the rumor was started.
- THE RUMOR DENIED.
Private telegrams received in tliecitj
deny the rumor.
Officials of the Richmond and Dan
ville and other Terminal lines in the
city say there is no truth whatever in
tbe report.
One of them said: “There is aboil

The fierce straggle was ended. N

When Henderson, of Illinois, nomi
Mated Thos B. Reed a faint cheer was
raised to palliate the hollow mockery
ut the presentation.
Then Jeriy Simpson culminated the
peculiar dis inotion conferred upon
Georgia by presenting the nominee oi
die lonely nine. Several Georgians
had been previously seen to approach
Mr Watson and ask him uo forbid the
presentation of his name.
The thought it rather selfish in Geor
gia to offer two candidate* to the same
congress, but tbeir efforts were of no
avail. The “lone fisherman” had placed
ais political life on the cast, and be pro
posed to st: nd the hazard of the die.
Applause rang through i;he hall as Mr.
Mills voted for Crisp in firm and
clear tones, only less demonstration
was shown when other democratic can-
lidates voted for the great Georgian.
Republicans voted for their fellow-
■-yraut in srappish disappointed tones.
The applause that came from every
quarter of tbe house when Crisp’s elec
non was formally announced was ot
glad significance to the democrats of tbe
South, and especially in Georgia.
The vote stood, Crisp, 228, Reed, 83,
Watson, 8. ;
Speukei Crisp was escorted in by bis
redecessor and his most formidable
colleague. A trio of giants, they were.
Their different temperaments and

As he took the stand, while glances

Tbe oath of office was then adminis

A CARD FROM MR. GANTT.
Mr. Gantt writes the following card
to tbe Atlanta Constitution explaining
his retirement :
Editor Constitution—On Friday
last £ handed to your elevator man a
communication correcting some minor
statements in your repbrt of the change
in the business of The Southern Alli
ance Farmer. That communication was
mislaid, I learn.
i had nothing whatever to do with
the financial management of the paper
until the 12th of September last, since
which'time I have had sole control,
both of its editorial and finances. Up
to that time Mr. H. C. Brown attended
exclusively to the financial department.
I only advanced the paper about four
hnndred and fifty dollars in cash shortly
after I became connected with it, in
February last, until Mr. Brown retired
I simply wrote editorials and knew
nothing whatever of the bnsiness af
fairs of the office. I have no desire to
detract from Mr. Brown any credit due
him or assume any responsibility about
the financial matters of tbe office, that
belong to him. I only held about one-
fourth of the stock ($3,500). The re
mainder was held by a number of indi
viduals.
Owing to my health I disposed of my
interest in the paper to Mr. Irwin, but
will continue to ossist him in his edi
torial work from my farm. I have no
intention of retiring from journalism,
but the state of my health requires
that I pursue, for a season, a more ac
tive life.
Thanking you for your kind expres
sions in regard to myself, I am most
respectfully yours,

he told the chief that he was to cbme
with him, Bull made no
resistance, but came out. He was
surrounded by women and they, alarm
ed, made an outcry. Tomahawk sud-
d nly drew hlspistol and shot him. Bu.l
fell to the ground wounded, but not
fatally, while Tomahawk and his party
made for a log cabin; where they were
quie'riy be-ieged by the hostile.
“Capt Fetchet brought tbe two fl *ld
guns into play at once, and the hostiles
lied with but a poor off-r of resistance.
Sitting Bull, after receiving his wound,
had crawled into a bu-sb, and therewith
his rill ■ was nuking a tight. He was
dragged forth, and an Indian police
man beat in his bead with a club, while
others broke his rffLi over his head, and
still others slashed his fac* with their
knives In this manner he died.
“Lieut.Siocutn did all ho could to
prevent this brutality, but the police
were infuriatedj and hat ing 1- sr five or
six of their number in tho scriir.mage,
they were not to be pacified.
