My position,'Mr. Idurley continued, is a very simple one. I am ready nH2T willing to settle with the State just as soon as the Stato is witting and ready to settle with me. Iu 1877 I mado a settlement with the comptroller-gen eral, as appears oh page 303 of the compiroller-goneral’s report for tho year ending October 31st, 1873, show ing the county treasurers that had set tled with the State. By ^settled” I mean there was an understanding and admission that I owed the State, ns county treasurer, so much. Eight county treasurers, fcMudtng myself, are shown to have settled with the and only terms.

I remember feeling very strongly on the subject. The matter was allowed to die out.

It is well that every cl! Ing aside for the moment hio other du ties, should attend public meetings, and keep himself abreast with the politics of the hour. Tkfore especially is it important at this hour, for the State Is not yet safe. Those who at e inclined to rest supinely on their past achievements, and to lull themselves | fiito security, are pursuing a course fraught with Tlauger, and he who\ otands back while she calls is stabbing his mother In the vitals. Let us take a retrospective a lance at the history of South Carolina after reconstruction. Let tho people exercise a judicious 'comptroller-general, and twenty-one choice in the pelectlou of cahdidates. Let no local prejudice or sectional-feel ing influence your selection. Your Xtest men should be chosen, whoever ! the^jare, and from whatever section of [ the country they may come.
