After a laborlbus effort requiring more than a month of arduous work, an accurate list and 'computation of the number of whiskey prescriptions written during the year 107 haa Just been prepared. A atatement appear ing in the papers a few days ago waa premature, unofficial as well as incor rect and that which herein appears i-omea direct from those who made the tabulations and la also authorized. Tha total number of prescription issued bv Charlotte doctors 'during 1807 amounts to 41.192. All the pre scriptions being tabulated on a basis of quarts, it was discovered that the total number of quarts amounts to 8S.J35. The total beer certificates number 474 dozen bottles. Figuring that the whiskey sent oat from the crug stores on prescriptions old at an average price of 11.25, It can be seen that the amount of money expended for the total number is 49.64.a Mr. A. II.

Gen- the result, Wednesday of this week erallv speaking, the alignment f Peclal school tax carried at Derlta forces will be the "new" against the by a vote of 13 to 11. I believe that "old," the "outs" against the "Ins." For Instance It is said that Sheriff Wallace will be the candidate of the old crowd, the "Ins." for re-election to the office which he has held Tor tne Air Line road of almost a mile and is well suited to manufacturing pur poses. To the older residents the sale of the last of the .Logle property will be of peculiar Interest. Years ago Mr. Logie, then a Bridgeport, Conn., mer chant, came to Charlotte and purchas ed two farms, the Schlff and Steele places, situated east of the city and lying between the Monro and Law yers' road. There were 570 acres in the two tracts and the purchase price was a neat little sum. Mr. Logle liv ed on the Steele place and worked nast several terms, while Chief W. 8. hard at farming. He attempted many orr. of the city fire department, will innovations, but was never regarded oe tn, nominee of the new crowd, the as a success. One of the desirable! outl pr. h. J.

Of course there are exceptions but this is the genera) rule. Mecklenburg county, I am proud to say.

The physician who wrote 1,679 whiskey prescriptions tiflcate. for 24 dren bottle, of beer leading the list along this line. The one .who wrote 1.254 whiskey pre scriptions wrote prescriptions for 20 dozen bottles. The doctor who Issued the 2,884 s.lo wrote 19 dozen beer prescriptions, and Is one of the col ored physicians or tne cuy. One of the leading and oldest phy sicians of the city wrote 20 prescrip tions another wrote 120, another 94. The records show nothing f urtner .h. i. unusual about the numbers. aside from those already given. The ' old rating which applies to every thing applies to the physicians, and all those whose names appear on the reg ister can be classed as radicals, con servatives and extremists. There is probably little difference In the extent of the practice of the doctor who wrote 4.901. and the other who wrote 20 and the variance may be due to their individual Ideas about the ef- si lfrtflftl. ' One glancing over the records finds r Tt Is annarent mrrrm ht ran kq hi.",.". - - that some of the druggists have been misled and filled prescriptions upo the signatures of doctors who do not exist at all. This is no renw wu.i um.. their integrity as It was Impossible for them to keep readily In mind the names f every physician ln contigu ous territory to Charlotte. Physicians from Oastonla. Concord, Monroe and all towns of such nearness to this city, sent prescriptions, bona fide prescrip tions, to be filled here, and If, oc casionally a fellow forged a name of a doctor non-existent, the discredit cannot be placed against the drug gists. Upon the records sent up from one drug store, the name of a doctor of divinity appears as having authorized some bearer to obtain one gallon of whiskey. This, of course. Is an in- . v . nam nt th minis ter was forged by the holder and thoughtlessly passed over by the drug gist, or a caBe where the minister holds precisely the same name and in itial as some doctor in North Caro lina. The drug store standing at the head of the list In the number of pre ecrlDtlons filled sold a total of 5.679 quarts upon i.2flS prescriptions and also 22 dozen beers. The second highest stands at 5.933 quarts out of S.S93 prescriptions, and also is aozen beers; the third sold 5,59s quarts rrom S.256 prescriptions and 151 dozen heers: the fourth sold 3.967 quart from 4.083 Descriptions and 10 dozen ;eers. The remainder of the stores vary from 357 to 3.500 In the number cf total prescriptions honorea. Figuring that the drug store that old 6.679 quarts received an average of 11.25 for a quart, a revenue of ap proximately $7,000 was derived from the sale of whiskey, while the license to the city iai paid more than four rold.
