The experience with Alliance store*. Alliance warehouses an I other joint busini s? transactions have been anything lut su'isfactvry to individual members of the Alb. ance; and from personal knowledge and c.v pericticc, we do uot know any bus'uess that lias more hidden leak holes through which the dollars of an inexperienced stockholder can s ip, before he knows it, than the printing nnd^publishiug business On jiaper it is a profitable and a'luriag business, but in nine cises out of ten, joint s'ock publishing companies have proved to bo '' come into my parlor, said the sj ider to the fly" concerns. and shaky, the proprietor is ve?y apt to propose to his friends to organize a joint stock company; and it is not uncommon then to find the proprietor slipping out, leaving the joiui siocs n uiscover, wiicn too late, that tliey had n heavy joint debt mul a business" they kuow nothing about on their hauls. They fintl that the proprietors figures lied. Whi'e the Legislature has been hard at work, it has had before it but few measures of general interest to our readers, and none of locai importance further than to change the law regula'iog the election of a Treasurer of this town. The Fiee l'ass bill, the Pioliib'fion bill, the County Govciumcot bill, the election of the Chief Ju-ticc and an Associate Justice of the Supremo Court and an Attorney General have engaged most of the attention of ) ???* n/WO Brc mnirtr uioaeunu v# Importance still on tbc calendar, of which wc know nothing, as yet, except their titles.

Threats of lynching were made by friends of the murdered man, anil tho Sheriff, under instructions from the Governor, the nctt a'tcrnouii called out the Edgefielu Guards to protect toe pritoner. It seems that tho authority from the Governor was not receivtd until about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and while the Sheriff was at his son's funeral, about 4 e'clock, a number cf masked uicn went to the jail, forcibly took the kc;? s from the jailor in charge, went to Lundivy's cell and it is said literally riddled him rviih bullets.

This I do in justice to myself and for the informal on of the peoplo of Union CrKinty. I m:tko the iissvrfinu immt nmnhntinnli \r that there is no shortage in the tre surer* s office 1 of Union County, aid, as I understand the ierm shortage, there never has been a eh'irt- 1 age in tlio treasurers office of Union County. Sinco I have been serving in tli*t capacity, ' I hive always been financially alio to meet 1 every demand mndo upon me by the proper < nuth uitios, and have never failc l to do so I promptly when there was funds due and in ' my hands. 1 The mention of a shortage ia the Treastir- I er's office cf Union County, l>y Governor 1 Tillman, all grew out of a nistnke which 1 occurred in my settlement with Comptroller General Kllerbo for the last fiscal year. The mistake cccurroI in this way: When 1 i settlod with the Comptroller General for the fiscal year 1888-89 1 owod the State $415 80. . iwwftt jto ? it was thoughtlessly placed with my other 1 receipts from the Stat? Tre surer. Hence ! tlio receipt w:u brought in us a credit to tt.e in the last settlement with Comptroller 1 Genet til Ellcrbe, when it should not have 1 hten. Several mouths after the settlcnu nt I was notified by Comptroller General Ellerbe . that in looking over his papers and b'oks lie Imtl discovered a mistake which had 1 iccuricd in our settlement of $115 80. and that 1 was yet due the State that amount fir the fiscal year 1889-90, and after an invctigati ti 1 loiiiul hitn cnrect, and 1 nt once naid the amount over to the State Treasurer. The ui'sttkc was wholly unintentional oa my part. 1( was sinu ly a human error comln tie I by myself, Cotnptrcl'er General El'erbe and Audit r Morgan. It lias lie on my most earnest effut and desire since I have been treasurer of Union County, to ]K?t form the duties of that cilice faithfully and with all fairness to my constituents, and I fell quite thankful that 1 am assured, by tho frank expressions of nutn, bersof the bo t men in tbo county, that I n.*t?e P'trn rtfroo-r unan?mons satisfaction in the discharge of my oillcial duty. .1. 11.

From 1885, and for some years after that time, the institution although self-sustaining an<t received no aid from ilia State, oxcepi tlin loan of about oneshalf of the amount previously paid into tho treasury, was constantly in debt, fiequen lytoa lar/e amount, and it. became impossible to pay the accounts 1 in ihs regular way as they fell due. I was < therefore, compelled to piy the creditors of I the iustitut on whenever I could, aud in I such amounts as wcro available for tho pur- 1 pos>c, taking receipts fur such payments ou account. In this the result proves that I was not as careful as 1 shoul 1 It ivo been, au I although I fa t quite onfiientof my ability to pro- i duce the neces'ary vouchers when called upon to sett'e. 1 could not do so, aud there was a c nsidoraUe apparent Jeficit. * After an exhaustive examination into tho ' matter I found that there was a^oficit of ' some fifteen hundred dollars for which I had failed to secure the necessary vouchers, or had in some way mislaid them. Of my owu motion I reported the matter to C?l. Lipscomb, who was then the superintendent, and mad j ^ro >d every cent of the money out of my own pocket, taking his rccoipt for the raouey paid in. And 1 am pleased to be able to add that, m a result of my continued examination into the matter since th:8 settleiuen', I have recovered a con-iterablc portion of this amount from the party to whom I h id inadvertently ma le a duplicitopayment, an 1 who promptly re- 0 funded the money as soon as the proofs 1 were presented. The $'.130 80 referred to in the fixeoutive message is really $98tf 72, and is one of the items in the statement nia le by me to Col. Lipscomb, which was afterwards verifie 1 by the expert etnployod by the Governor himself, a-id never was and is not now a deficit. The amount was paid on account to a j reputable business firm in this city for goods actually furnished to the Penitentiary, and 0 the only deficit there is about it is that the , itemized til's f r the articles wore not j properly filed at the tiruo. although the re- r ccip's fur every dollar of the money wero u left by me on file at the Penitentiary, and the b. oks of the'firm in question will show the payments as claitno I. The expert who made a thorough examination of my accounts, and who, as state 1 above, was employed by the Goternir hico self, gave cheerful tes'imony to my integrity and could make no graver charge than carelessness.
