4ilendale ,S. 0.| Oct. i, 1913, L. A. Scarsou, Special Accountant,
Upon presentation of thla report I deHire to call especial attention
tho r?i lowing interesting features, yU:
The ex-Sheriff has been extremely careless in the matter of hand
linK lux executions, resulting In an apparent shortage at the time of
Ids dentli. The present Sheriff Is following his example.
The bookkeeping in the office of Supervisor is <fuite defective as
*owu by my comments in report of this office.
The County has a heavy bonded debt. Such bonds maturing various
w from 1928 to 1942, The interest on same aggregates $10,000 per
annum. The records, as. a general proposition have been well kept, and
I have done only such detail work as appeared to be necessary, with a
,low to Having time and expense.
Office of County Auditorr. \
The Auditor ban charged all taxes, penalties, etc., to the County
Treasurer, aB the law requires and has filed with the Comptroller Cen
tral abstract* of the tax books. Any statement in detail Is therefore
gnnecosBary. I have checked these records carefully against the Settle
ment Sheets and find that the correct amounts have been entered.
The Auditor has On file cancelled vouchers for the credits allowed
County Treasurer in this Annual Settlement.
- In connection with my report on delinquent taxes for past years;
fhich, in another section, 1 have shown were not properly accounted
i jfrf by the deceased ex-Sheriff; I desire to ?Ute that Auditor RubbcII
i? working up tho Execution books, etc., and expects later to submit
abatraca for Nulla Bona Executions.
Office of Clerk of Court.
The Clerk of Court Is keeping all the books which the law requires
fcini to keep. I found the records examined, neat and Intelligent and
Ifce officer has made his ? remittance on account of public funds, to tho
Treasurer, promptly. ?
I have made a thorough examination of the records In this office
urtth regard to fines, "etc., paid into the hands of tho Clerk of Court and
find that such funds have .been promptly accounted for.
I present a statement, showing each case in which a flue was col
lected, hb per the records. The Clerk has also accounted for licehses
' otllected, as shown by statement.

Office .of Sheriff ? J. S. Trantham, Deceased.
The affairs of thin office are in a tangled condition, which is quite
unfortunate on account of ex-Sheriff Trantham's death and the fact
that ho had not made the proper returns to his successor in office or
*> tho County Treasurer. The following section will explain the sit
uation relative to public funds held by this officer at the timo of his
death, as shown by the records: - A
it appears that he retired from office. -with executions for 1909-10,
*nd a few for 1908 still in hand. He had made no settlement with
too Treasurer for the executions, placed in his hands for collection.
The abstracts filed in your office will show that ex-Sheriff Trant
*am received from the vTreasurer executions amounting to ?t>,084.Z4
tor delinquent taxes of 1909 and |7,371.42 for 1910. An audit of
toe records shows that the sum of $1,449.73 was collected in cash oft
account of 1909 and $2,112.87 on account of 1910 executions, but that
toe officer did not remit tb0se funds to the Treasurer, or to his suc
cessor. in addition to the above the records show executions which
*o report has been made on, as follows: ook a* r?
1908, $34.98; 1909, $21.69; 1910, $1,169.36; Total, $1,225.93 for
whleh the sheriff is also accountable under the law.
The sheriff reports on his execution book as Nulla Hon a and No
?st for 1909, $4,112.90; 19M>, $2,7*6.01; ToUil, $6,868.91.
The abstract for 1908 Nulla Bona executions was made, but too late
tor credit on the settlement BheeAs. No abstracts for the years 190J
1910 have been made at M I understand that the county Aud
itor, mad"? the 1908 abstract. ??h
_ As previously stated. ex-Sheriff Trantham collected conslderab 1 erf cash
for which he has made no returns. Acting upon information obtained
from county officials^ through this Investigation, with regard ? J??
?f-Sherlffs official -bank accounts, I visited the various banks in the
elty of Camden, from which I secured certificates. These c^?' ntod
you will find attached to the original Issue of this ?I?rt, pre^enUMI
18 a part of same. The following cash cash statement explains Jtseir.

Judge R, Withers Memmlnger
caused a mild Bensation in court of
general sessions here Saturday in
passing sentence on 1'. C. Sessions,
charged with assault and battery
with Intent to kill upon the person
of Joseph Simpson, who had the day
previous been acquitted of the
charge of murder ? that of the kill
ing of Henry Sessions, brother of
T. C. Sessions. ,
Before Imposing a fine on Sessions;
who had plead guilty tp tho charge,
hjefore, Judge Memmlnger took occa
felon to remark that bo long as jurle
so freely turn men loose charged
with murder, just so long can men
be expected to settle their differenc
es by shooting one another, and that
[inasmuch as it coBt Joseph Simpson
Only $100 for killing Henry Sessions,
he having been cdnvicted of the
charge, of carrying concealed wea
pons, he did not see that It waa.
Trora niucli more than $25 for Tom
Sessions, brother of the deceased,
shooting Joseph Simpson, therefore
he would place on him a fine of 825
The judgp's remarks have b?en
tho subject of considerable comment
of the streets here.

DANIKL. McGINLKY DKAI).
lit mains Sent to Pennsylvania For
iiuriai.
Daniel McGinley, a well ~ known
peddler, who has been a familiar
figure in this county for the past
thirty years, died very suddenly at
the home of a Mr. Freeman in West
Wateree last Monday night. Mem
bers of the family heard a noise
in the man's room and upon going
in found him gasping for breatlt and
he expired in a few moments. The
cause <of his death was given l as
heart failure.
j Mr. McOinley was a natlvo of Don
egal county, Ireland, and came to
America nearly forty years ago and
I most of his life had been spent vin
; ?nd around Camden, where he was
known to be an honest, hardworking
man and had many friends in Cam
den $nd the county.
He was never married and has no
relatives here excepting a cousin,
Mr. Prank McGinley, who is also a
native' of Ireland and came to this
country with him. He leaves one
sister in irleand, ono sister and
brother in Pennsylvania.
He left ho real estate, but it is
| understood that he had a consider
able amount of money on deposit
in one of the Camden banks. His
remains were brought td McCreJght's
undertaking establishment and the
body prepared for shipment to
Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, where
it will -fee buried by relatives.
Mr. MeGinley was about 64 years
of ace and was * devout member
of the Catholic faith, and there are
many Who wilt regret ills passing.
Taxes Coming in Slowly.
The -tax books show that taxes
are coming in very slow. But very,
llttto more than half as much has
been collated' /as was up to this
time laat'.year-.. ? ? ?

Mr. TurrJJl, the aviator, left Sun
day uruTiioon, und before leaving
wan telling a party of friendrt of hib
exp#rit*ncn In the flying game. Says
he first got the idea In hlB noodle
wliiie at ijong Isluiul several yearn
ago when he puid an aviator with a
passenger carrying craft $26 to take
him for a flight. FindiiiK that hu
could bland the Benbation of look
ing down from a great height, he
at once decided to attend the Cur
ties Hchool for aviator?, and pur
chased hia machine, paying there
for $6,000. At the time he loft
there were fourteen students at the
school and of the fourteen seven
have met death from falls, one be
ing a young lady who was killed in
IndlunnpoliH when making her first
public exhibition. Of the remainder
of the class only a few remain at
the game ? the others having quit on
account of the great danger.
While not being at all Bupersti
tioUK Mr. Tor rill Bays he was more
i impressed by the oft mentioned hoo
doo here than at any time during
hie flying career . J-ie had been
?pleaded with by Ms mother and
"?others" daily not to make the
flighU at Camden because of the
fact that one of the dates was "13."
But to lend more weight he was un
signed to room ''23M at the Hotel
Camden, and he now. firmly believes
that the only reason he was not
killed while in Camden is the fact
that no black cat crossed his path.
During his career he has mude
over four hundred successful fllghtB
and the accident while at Camden
cee* him more .in the way of re
pairs than all told in his other mis
haps. Tie sayB, however, that it
learned him a lesson, and that is
to never attempt to fly again with
out having hiB space roped off to
iceep the spectators from crowding
Oil the field,
Some idea of the dangers of avia
tion can be gotten when it is known
that In aviation accidents of all
kinds the world over since 1908,
414 have met death, _the tollfo?j]ie
present year" todate belng iOB.
The fact that Mr. trerrill is an ex
pert auto drive has something to
do with' his skill in driving his fly
ing machine. While not in the fly
ing game during the summer and
fttfl he returns to Worcester, Mass.,
where ho is lnteested in an auto
concern.

cessful pastorates that Madison, his
old home has ever known. Madison
