LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
Examination of Books in the Secre
tary of States' Office
Concluded.
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.
