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.
"It becPfflSS absolutely necessary tov
prescribe a uniform system of keeping
accounts for county treasurers, eeu?t^
sunerjyistor .".nd county ??^?fi??tend
j?nt^? education, together with a sys
f?a?fi? vep?'rts whereby the misappro
priation of the public, funds will be
'^btar?bv.fo accomplish.
?*#ijExperience of many years demon?
strates that it is .impracticable for* the
Comptroller General, who ie charged
with- the'supervision di' the assessing
and collecting of the State's revenu?j
to leave his office and visit the coun?
ties in person and ex?mine into the
details c? the work bf the county offi
cials, who are charged with the re
ceipts and disbursements of public
funds. 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. Parker
was unanimously adopted endorsing
the work of Commissioner Watson and
the bureau of commerce, agriculture
and immigration. A memorial to that
effect will be handed the Greenville
county delegation to be presented to
the legislature. Addresses were deliver
ed by Commissioner Watson and Capt.
Ellison A. Smyth, president of the
Pelzer cotton mills, and Thoa. F. Par
ker, president of the Monaghan cotton
mills of this city.
A Hot Supper Homicide.
""Saluda. 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.

Sure enough, there stood an intru

I wdlild pFb'babiy. h?ye.be?n, justified
in paying for extra help out of thia

fore done by the auditing clerk, but
convictions are deeply grounded upon
the principle that the state should en
force its laws through its regular
channels, and ; should discover and
punish the perpetrators of the crime
of incendiarism 1ft the same way that
it seems its .duty to prosecute murder,
stealing, .swindliflg: ?nd other crimes.
Is it w?s? to ?ll?w corporations to
practically usurp {he power of the
government, when the duties of sher
iffs, magistrates and other officers
charged with the execution of. the
criminal and civil law are transferred
tb other offices to be compensated or
paid by the corporations? Where is
this tendency to end? Is not this
concentration of Indirect corporate
influence dangerous to the people, es
pecially when a large number of pub
lic employes ?nd officers of the State
are paid by the corporations? In my
opinion, it is far better for the State
to pay by direct appropriation for the
enforcement of its laws, for after all,
the people pay the tax whether it is
directly or indirectly imposed."

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. We are all Americans who
have won our American citizenship."
Hearty applause followed Mr. Dege
tau's conclusion.
The amendment striking out the ap
propriation for the regiment was de
feated. Mr. Humphrey declared the
transport service was Totten and a
national disgrace. He declared it cost
$1,500,000 more than if thc service
were performed by private shipping.
The House adjourned.
The House Committee on Interstate
Commerce will give, a hearing to the
private car compapies which are af-,
feezed by the Stevens bill.
