i Mr. Calvert Goes Out ami Mr. Jouew
Goes In.
On last Friday. September 30, Mr. W. A.
! Calvert resigned the duties of dispenser and
Mr. J. E. Jones assumed the duties of that
position on the first day of this month.
Whl'e It is a fact that a few good and honest
prohibitionists are making a fight on the
dispensary, yet it is true that there has never
been, as far as we now recollect, any complaint
of the Abbeville dispensary by either
the license men or the prohtbitlouists.
As far as we know, the dispensary law has "
the approval ot the temperance element, and -j
the management of the dispensary has been
satisfactory \to all.
Mr. Jones has been employed for some time
as clerk In the establishment, and is now so
familiar with its workings that be cau keep <
the books correctly and manage the Institution
according to'the provisions of the law.
Dispensers are required to make freqnent
settlements, ana wuen mey biukb ? eeiuemeat
it Is final.
The Comptroller-General aDd the county
treasurers are tboonly officers known to us
where final settlements are not often bad.
The Railroad agents settle periodically, and
and when they settle the settlement Is definite
and specific.
Tbe Post Office authorities, with thousands
of assistant post masters under their charge,
make exact and correct settlements every
few months.
Tbe Carolina Chemical Company, having In
charge many manufacturing enterprises, ?nd
employing many financial agents, settle
with their employees at stated Intervals.
Tbe IJr >ted States Government looks after
tbe Nat ial Banks, and their afTalrs are
made known a: least five times during tbe
year.
The lnsu'rnace agents settle with the companies
every month.
Tbe only financial agents of whom we
have any acquaintance, that do not make
clear, specific and definite settlements are
the Comptroller General and the County
Treasurers.
It seems that the Comptroller General and
the County Treasurers seldom settle their
accounts before tbe treasurer goes out of
office. Or, to 6ay the least, in some instances
such settlements are deferred or are left open
for years.
If nubile officers fall to Dav over tbe State's
money, somebody must be derelict In duty?
If these officers fall to make settlements and
hold money In their hands which belODg to
the Government, who Is responsible for the
IOHS m
If the Comptroller General makee'these set- I
tiements, and it can afterward be established
that he allowed any County Treasurei
to hold back money belonging to the mate,
are not he and his bondsmen legally and
morally responsible for the loss?
We wonld state distinctly, that we make
no sort of charge or imputation against Hit
Integrity or the character of any man who
has held the office of Comptroller-General,not
would we entertain for a moment the thought
that any County Treasurer had wilfully withheld
public money. It is their manner of
maklDg settlements to whi^h we object
We ;cannot believe and would not believethat
either of these officers have been dishon- _
est. Those officers with whom we are acquainted
we know to be honest men.
But the fact that settlements have not in
past years been made annually as the law
directs, and that the half made settlements
stood over for years indicates a p-tlnful con- |
dltlon of atlalrs and a great lack of efficiency,
If the work ot '.he Comptroller-General, Mr.
Jones, in overhauling various Treasurer's ac
counts, is with a view to correcting tnem up
to dale and making them final, which wt
understand Is his purpose, the public will ^
commend him tor his tfticient work, and i:
be will hereafter demand annual settlement
which can not be ripped up and questioned
be will have inaugurated a much needed
reform.
Why is it thai the State of South Carolina V1
Is the only great concern that does not mak< ?
periodical final settlements with Its linaucla h
agents.
Is the law defective ? If so, it is time that
it was amended. hi
If the law Is what It should be, and the "
Comtroiler-Uenerai discharges his duty, how ^
Is It possible for a County Treasurer to hold
back monej^ belonging to the Government*
It would seem to us that tho llrst and im- t|
perativeduty ol the uext Legi?-iature Is to a
remedy the evils resulting from the careless jj
v. of making settlements. We have no
so. .jOf dout-1 (is to the integrity of anybody, d
but the loot, ,r*y of allowing County Trews- j
urers to hold back governmeut money should h
I/O oiu^pcu. '
NVhal would we think If the State offi;ers w
allowed a dispenser to keep part of the Stale's
money ? What would we thluk If he should "
be allowed to go for years without maklug ?
a settlement? g
If a superior officer allows an luferior offi- 11
oer to keep public money for years, is the f<
higher officer blameless, or should all the h
censure be directed to the lower officer? ^
Who is more blameless, the one who makes
au error or th* oue who prevents It.
i Accident to Euuiiie.
d
The engine at Mr. W. H. Long's ginnery o
met with an accident one day last week In u
the wringing otf of the shaft on the driving |,
wheel. The cr;>nk broke off when the heud ji
of the steam chest was brokeu. No one was v
hurt.
v This accident is greatly to be regretted, on p
account of both Mr. Long and his customers.
It is the busiest season ol ginning, and his t
gin will be stopped for a short time. Mr. s
Long is one of the truest of met), as well as s
one of the most public spirited citizens that "
Abbeville ever had, and we are all sorry for :
any misfortune that may come to him. It
Is hoped that his customers will not have t
long to wait for his machinery to start I
attain. *

Fair?It Begins on October 25th?
> Ample Arrangements.
The State Agricultural and Mechanl
cal Society purchased one hundret
I. acres of level land in the southerr
part of Columbia last spring on whicl
to hold its annual South Carolina Stat*
Fairs. This change was made neees
sary because the old grounds were to<
small to accommodate the large num
ber of exhibitors and visitors who an
nually attended the great fairs, anc
tne DUiidtngs were no longer suiiaou
for the purposes for which they wen
!s built. On the new grounds there i!
y room for everything and for every
'' body, and they are more conveniently
K situated to the transportation line!
B. than the old grounds were.* The dis!.
tance is less than a half mile from th(
new union depot, and the grounds ar<
>r reached by several fine roads and by
?e the street car lines, and no trouble wil
be experienced in handling the larg<
J' crowds that are sure to visit Columbia
Visitors will find everything brand nev
e- this year. The buildings are all moderr
in construction, large, airy, and comII
fortable, all one story, with numerous
rs exits and wide aisles. One building i!
devoted entirely to the handiwork 01
'u women, and is set apart from the othei
.e buildings so that the fair sex may ena
Joy themselves without interruption
e. Another building is devoted to the agricultural
exhibits and implements, anc
another to the commercial exhibits
^ Then, the poultry building occupies ?
r, very prominent location and is very
large and roomy. The live stock barn!
b- are so arranged that all visitors car
it safely and conveniently pass througl
all of them and see all the stock at any
e time, and the management specially
e requests that visitors avail themselves
of this opportunity.
le The regulation mile race track Is !?
a cated in the southern part of th(
r* grounds, and is a beauty. The race:
it truv he viowprl from thf? Pair cround;
r If it be preferred to do so, but a large
' comfortable grand stand is located a
d the finish of the home stretch, when
u the races can be viewed to much bettei
advantage and with more comfort. Th<
y quarter stretch is not separated fron
>r the grand stand, as was the case or
the old track, but all are combinec
under one inclosure, thus increasing
the social part of the meet.
The Midway or Pike is located neai
t- the main entrances, and will be fillet

er The railroads have offered verj
cheap rates on account of the firs
of Greater State Fair, and they will rui

the attractions that have been ar

that the large crowd of last year wil
