Columbia, June i8.-For the past two weeks there has been in the sec retary of state's office an examining committee. consisting of Senator Butler and Representatives Rainsford and Richard. This committee was authorized at the last session of the legisiature to examine the books of this office. this being the first year that included it. rToday the commit tee finished its work and in view of fact that there -have been various re ports out as to the- finding made the following statement: . "The committee has carefully gone over the vouchers in the office and has nothing of a startling or sensa tional nature to report. No final re port will be made until Mr. Gantt, who is now ill; can be seen and even then the committee' will not make the report until the next session of the general assembly. This is required by law. "So far as the general result of the examination is concerned we find that there has been no bookkeeping, and our expert. Mr. Hollis, of Gaffney. has gone over those in the office and care fully collected all :of the vouchers, so that we now have a complete record of everything that has passed through the hands of the secretary of state. "The books were checked up from January a3, 1903, when Mr. Gantt as sumed the office, and although we went back no further, it is probable that those from 1896 to that date should also be gone over." This statement of the committee was made to the newspaper men by requests and as yet no statement has been made to Mr. Gantt. He is now ill t.his residence here and under the treatment of a physician for kidney trouble. When seen today he said as be had not yet seen any members of the committee and knew nothing of the matter officially, he. of course. could make no statement. The com mittee will probably notify him as soon as he is able to be out. Many a man who imagines he could run the earth can't even manage a small garden successfully. 3h Store's Ur&z oods, Dry Goods and Notions.
