No More Settlements-Money ls Out.
Columbia, Novombor 28.-Tho appro
priation of $500 tnado fur tho Comptroller
Qonoral to make settlements with tho
various county treasurers hus hoou ox
hausted, ami until Homo provision is
mado there cnn ho no further set dements.
Tho Comptroller, at tho last session of
tho Conor.?! Assembly, requested a largor
appropriation, as a sottlemont often ro- j
quires the work of experts for several
days, and experts cost about $10 a day.
For some reason, howovor. only $500 was
given, and, ou account of tho tangled
condition of some of tho county books in
various counties, the money has boon
spout. Tho books in barnwell, Laurons,
Greenville ?nd Oconoo counties have
hcon .straightened out and a settlement
has boon mado in ono or two of thoso ns
woll as in about twenty other counties,
but there still remains about twenty
other counties with which settlement
should bo mado, including Richland.
Tho annual set Cements aro of considera
ble importance to tho count ies as woll ns
tho officials, as it starts oil tho now year
with a oom parr Mvoly clean balance
shoot as woll as givos tho public an idoa
as to tho county finances. On account
of many of tho old ofllcors going out of
ofllco this year a settlement is of moro
than usual importance and tho county
ofllcors, as a rule, aro anxious for thom.
It is not known yet what tho Comptroller
will do about tho matter, hut Homo dc-1
cisi?n will bo arrived at in tho noxt few
