Stiower' phone COUNTY FINANCES Defects ?? Their Management Pointed Out by Comptroller General. Columbia, g. c.-"The need of an C3> aminer for the book? of the varlou? counties is clearly set forth ih the rfc port of the Comptroller General, which was published In the Greenville CasV said a member of the House. An ex amination of th? Reports made by that office showed that the statemenc waa correct. The report made by the GoMptr??c? General shows that ftt least seven counties are very much out of balance, and that with the small appropriation of $500 ou hand the Comptroller can not begin to check up the t)(Wk$ &f the 41 counties in the ?t?t?-. The total shortage will ?'mou?t to about $43, 000, and wfeit? there is no intention of reflection on the county officers, it seems from this report that there is need for a yearly examination of every office in the State. The la?t annual r?^ port of the Comptroller General made the following reflamm?n??ti?n: "Thc investigations made thus far re veal the grossest e??ie??n?ss In "\e management td| ?u? people's money While no actual dishonesty has been brought to light, a general looseness of methods obtains which amounts prac11 tically to the same thing, Bo fai'- as the taxpayers' Interests ?f? c?heerned.

When an error is ?iscovered in the annual settlement, it often be comes necessary to check Up the ac counts for several years back; this re quires ? great deal of time which can not be given by the Comptroller Gen eral, nor can he spare one of his clerks for this purpose. "To introduce a uniform system of bookkeeping would require an ppro priation sufficient for the books and blanks necessary to be used by the county officials collecting and disburs ing the public revenue. The Comp troller General should be allowed to ap-^ point an expert accountant T? pay the expenses of an accountant, to visit the counties at all seasons of the year, would be trifling compared with the value of his services to the State; the correction of the present loose methods would alone save thousands of dollars to the State and counties every year. If the fiscal affairs of the State are to be conducted on a business basis, busi ness methods must be adopted. These matters I call to your earnest atten tion and consideration ; it now rests with your honorable body to take such steps as in your wisdom you may deem necessary." , Commtssiooner Watson Endorsed. Greenville, Special.-At the quarterly meeting of the board of trade here a resolution offered by Lewis W.

Special.-George Smith shot and killed Will Bostic at a negro frolic near Culbreath's gold mine in this county Saturday night. It appears from the testimony at the coroner's inquest held Tuesday that Smith and Bostic had a little dispute over "cap ping a quarter" and Bostic went off, armed himself and was on the hunt for blood. After searching for Smith, he finally came upon him and without any ceremony fired upon him with a shot gun, sprinkling him considerably. Smith turned and emptied his gun into Bostic's body, killing him instantly. Both are negroes. J. K. Breazile Hangs Himself. Belton, Special.-Mr. J. K. Brezeale/ a prominent citizen here committed suicide by hanging himself Monday evening. Mr. Breazeale had been in failing health for a month or more and had iecome very despondent and the supposition is that .his sickness was such a mental strain upon him that rather than endure it he decided to put an end to his life. He left his home this morning and when his family missed him search was made for him which resulted in finding his body in his barn.

The ?Serl?f? rfdj?ufned; Swayn? Cas? May Be Postponed; In view of the prospect of an early presentation tb the Senate of the House's aftiidfe? bf impeachment of Judge Swayne, many Seb?tor's have been engaged today in considering that question, and Senator Platt, of Connec ticut, chairman of the special commit tee acting for.the Senate, has taken a leading- part ii1 the work. Some of tile Senators, especially Messrs. ; Frye and Hale, of Maine, ad vanced the bpiriipn that thc. case might be postponed until the next session, but, after an exhaustive examination cf precedents and consideration of the case, Mr. Platt announced his inabil ity to agree with them. He said he did not believe ; that, out of justice to Judge Swayne, the li?q?ify should be postponed for any length of time after it is brought to the attention of the Senate, and he doubted whether, if this p"oint was eliminated, the Senate could make the postponment. It might be competent, be thought, to defer trial aftei* organizing the senatorial court, but If that course should be decided upon, the present Congress would terminate, new men would come in, and it would be necessary ti reor ganize the court at the beginning of the next session. For these and other reasons, he concluded that there is no other way open than to proceed imme diately with the consideration of the case. Senator Spooner and other sen atorial lawyers concurred in this.opin ion. Those who advocated postponement take the ground that, as the Senate is a continuing body, it is competent for lt to defer action until next session, if it so desire*; They also say that, with only six weeks of. the session lift, it will be extremely difficult for the Sen ate to enter upon the Swayne trial, and also continue its consideration bf legislative business. Speaker Cannon did not name the committee to present the articles of the House, having received information from Senators tiidt the?, desired to have the matter delayed. There l's ? prece dent for delay in presenting articles in impeachment cases until the day before the expiration pf tho terms, which throws the tf'l?l ii?ttf the next Congress. It rests with the House. iioW?ver, to decide what course shall be pursued. Debate on the Swayne impeachment case occupied the House until after 5 o'clock Monday. The arguments were exhaustive; d?aii?J* iritll many of the legal phases ?f.tjie .cH?fges against Judge Swayh?. tfhe Seii?t? resolution fixing Wednesday, February 8th, as the time for counting the electorlal vrte 'for President and Vice President, the proceedings to take place in the hall of the House, was adopted. The Bur leson resolution diirecting the Director of the Census to collect and publish additional statistics relating to cotton, was reported by MT- Crumpa^kcr, of ' Indiana; amended s? a3 to pro\Id? that the statistics of tile c?nsumpt?ij of cotton, the surplus of cotton held by the manufacturers and the quality of cotton exported shall be summarized as of September 1st each year so as to show the cotton production and con sumption of the preceding yea* Mr. Livingston, of Georgia, chargea that if c?ttbii reports were made at the time stated, that .? llfeak 1*1 cotton prices would result upon ?:?:.h dec? sion that such reports were published. In most emphatic terms Mr. Maddox, of Georgia, declared that cotton farm ers should protect themselves by form ing a trust and withholding reports from the government. Everybody, he said, was in some sort of a trust against the farmer and that he must fight the devil with fire. After some further discussion, irt which the reso lution was favored by Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, the resolution was agreed to. The executive, legislative and judicial appropriation bill was sent to conference with Messrs Bingham, of Pennsylvania; Littaue, of New York, and Livingston, of Georgia, as con ferees on the oart of the House. Army Appropriations. The House of Representatives com pleted consideration ci the army ap propriation bill and will voto on the measure at "he oeginning of the ses sion ''.omOiTOw; In the. debate Resi dent Commissioner Digetau, of Porto Rico, made his first speech in the House. He took occasion to praise the United States for its attitude to ward his island heme. Incidentally, he saw no need for the maintenance of the provisional regiment of troops m the island. A vigorous attack was made, but to no avail, tn 'the army transport service, by Mr. Humphrey, of Washington. Mr. Clark, of Missouri, quoted re marks of Mr. Slayden, of Texas, stat ing that if it were not for the personal interest of some legislators in some of the officers cf tho*.Porto Rico regi ment, it would have been disbanded three years previously. "That condi tion of affairs is a disgrace to the American Congress," asserted Mr. Clark, Mr. Degetau, in arguing that the necessity for maintaining tho regi ment did not exist, reviewed the his tory of his country to show that it had accomplished many reforms, such, for instance, as the abolition of slav ery, without disturbance. Tht people did not need the example of military discipline, ior did they need the im pression calculated to be created by tho military uniform. "We need no American regiment, or any other regi ment.
