Mr. Editor: I desire to make
the following correction : In the
publication of the last quarterly
report of the County Supervisor

the claim of Heath Banking and
Mercantile Co. of Kershaw for
$253.5G for supplies for chaiu
gang appears twice. This claim
was paid by check No. 241, and
not by check No. 17G. ChecK
No. 176 was drawn in favor of
claim of W. 0 Rutledge tor $2.00
for hauling lumber and building
bridge.
