In the'comptroller general'3 office several Counties have not yet sent In their abstracts and are delaying things somewhat, but it is hoped that : a!! will be here by the end of the week. Superintendent of Education McMaban has received the annual reports from all the counties save Cherokee, Marion, Oconee, Saluda and Newberry. If these reports are not in very shortly In proper form It is not unlikely that the attention of the legislature will be called to the matter. Several important pieces of tabular work are tied up and cannot be touched until these reports are in hand. Attorney General Bellinger, already having his annual report well in hand, is now devoting his own attention exclusively to the preparation of his interesting report on the investigation of the trusts.
