THE OFFICIAL RECORD S. W. HOGUE As Treasurer of Kershaw County I take this means of calling the attention of the citizens of Kershaw County -to the comments as to the Treasurer's Office taken from the official audits of the County since the commencement of my service as Treasurer : Audit of A. Crawford Clarkson, July 1927 to June 30, "We are pleased to report that we found the re cords of this office have been well and accurately kept during the entire period under review." Audit of A. Crawford Clarkson, July 1, 1929 to June 30, 1930. "We found the records of this office have been maintained properly and were in entirely satisfac tory condition. It is our opinion that the Treas urer is entirely competent, that he has accounted for all funds handled by him during the period under review, and that lie makes every effort to protect the financial interest of the County." Audit of L. L. Wilkinson and Co., July 1, 1930 to June OA 1001 "We commend the work of the Treasurer. His records are accurate, neatly kept and information , can be obtained from them wnich can be relied upon." Audit of George M. Thayer, July l, 1931 to June 30, 1933. "All funds handled by the Treasurer were prop erly accounted for. All expenditures of the Treasurer for bonds or coupons were supported by the cancelled documents and were correct without exception. "In conclusion I would state that all transactions and entries have been handled in the Treasurer's Office in a very efficient manner, and, in my opin ion, he is making every effort to safeguard all funds entrusted to him as County Treasurer." As against the opinion of the Certified Account ants making the above audits, the only criticism I have heard from anyone of my administration has been that I have received the compensation provided by law for issuing tax executions.

TOM PEARCE FAVORS FARMERS' MARKETS Tom Pearce, Candidate for Governor, favors more and better markets for perishable farm produce. He realizes that there can be no real prosperity unless the farmer gets a profitable price for what he raises. He is advocating X system of market sheds and canneries, properly located at various points in the State* His idea is to secure cooperation of the United States Government in establishing these in South Car olina. When he was in the Senate for Richland County he introduced a Bill that was passed by the General Assembly making the Curb Market at Columbia pos sible. As is generally known, the streets of Columbia belong to the State and it was necessary that an Act be passed allowing the use of these streets for the es tablishment of this Market. TOM PEARCE WAS THE AUTHOR OF THIS BILL When Honorable R. J. Blalock was Mayor of Co lumbia and Tom Pearce was Senator from Richland County this action was taken. FOR GOVERNOR TOM PEARCE The Bill was presented January 31, 1919, and provided for the turning over to the City that portion of Assembly Street, between Hampton and Senate Streets, for municipal purposes. It was favorably reported by the Judiciary Committee February 6, 1919. Reached final reding in the Upper House February 11, 1919. The House passed the measure February 21, 1919, and it was ratified Feb ruary 28, 1919. The Governor approved this Act March 29, 1919. Part of Section 1 of the Act reads: "Be it enacted by the General Asembly of the State of South Carolina, That the City of Columbia be, and they are hereby, granted the right to erect in the center of Assembly Street, at such point or points as they may deem advisable between Hampton and Senate Streets in said city, a MUNI CIPAL MARKET, a city hall, and such other public buildings as are neces sary for the corporate purposes." REMEMBER, TOM PEARCE INTRODUCED THIS BILL! Application is now pending at Washiington for approval by the National Pub lic Works Administration asking for approximately $42,000 for the construction of an overhead shed at the Columbia "curb" market to protect the farmers from the elements. This application came before the State Public Works Advisory Board while Mr. Pearce was its Chairman and the Board unanimously approved it. The fact of the matter is Tom Pearce believes every encouragement and pro tection should be given the South Carolina farmer, especially the small farmer and tenant farmer, in the marketing of his produce.
