Former Mayor Mahon
Make ft Grave Charges
"It the taxpayers of South Carolina
want to see tfl. wliat use state
appropriated funda are being put,
they have but to gq to the lobbies
of the Columbia hotel*, and watch
lobbyists and 'grafters spending
money in drunken debauches. State
funds are often put to other uses
than that for which they were inj
tended," said G. ii. Mahon, Sr., last
night. Mr. Mahon, a former mayor
of Greenville, and long time resident
of this state, has just returned
from a bu*inc** . trip which, carried,
i him over 20 southern and mid-western
states.
Speaking of the political situation
in the country at present, Mr. Ma- !
hon stated: "The present special j
session of Congress has proved n
great surprise to mid-western farmers,
who were expecting itepublican
campaign promises to be fulfilled in
a definite program of farm relief.
Since the special session convened,
the price of wheat has dropped 35 to
10 cents a bushel. Congress has done
absolutely nothing. If elections were
held today a different tale would be
told in the mid-western' grain growing
section."
1 expect the Democrats to come
ba^jt stronger than ever next election,
if the present session of Congress
does nothing toward farm relief.
It was not the prohibition
question that defeated A1 Smith in
the recent election. In my travels
over* 20 states, I found religious prejudice
the most predominant objection
to his candidacy for president,
yet personally, I believe that a man
should he allowed to worship God as
he sees lit."
Mr. Mahon limis business conditions
throughout the South favorable,
with only a few pessimists |
ci>ing hard times. In most South-J
oin states the cotton crop is unusually I
late, and in muny eases the land has I
had to be replanted. Boll weevil
survival has been heavier than in six
or eight years, and the farmers must
begin work early to combat the pest,
especially if the summer is wet. Cot- |
ton growers need hot fear Ipw prices 1
this fall, unless there is an unusually
heavy yield, which present indications
do ndt point to, Mr. Mahon said.
"Labor unions have now_qfo? n foothold
in the South, and will spread to
the detriment of both operator and
operative. We are getting along fine 1
down south in the textile industry 1
and the operatives had best let well '
enough alone. The installation of
the "stretch-out" system was the
cause of the strikes in this and other
states.
"It runs against my grain as a
native South Carolinian to sit in hotel '
lobbies and hear traveling men
criticize our state, but many times I
have listened to people censure South
Carolina because of the luxury tax on
soft drinks, tobaccos and cosmetics.
These taxes and the obsolete Sunday '
laws which our governor, Mr. Rich- j
aids, recently tried to enforce have
run away a large portion of our
pi o fit able tourist traffic which can
only be. brought back, after a long'
time. I hese laws have done the state
more harm than any others ever put
on the statute books.
"I find the roads in South Carolina
superior to those of any state
except North Carolina. I think the
liquor traffic in this state, contrary
to Mr. Derieux's recent article in
( oilier s, is no worse than in other
Southern .-tates, with the possible exception
of Texas. I find business
conditions in the Piedmont region as !
good as anywhere in the South.
In ail my travels, I find only one
other newspaper in a class with The
Greenville _ News," Mr. Mahon stated.
"It is commonly considered the best
paper in the state; i! all-Greenville'.enterprises
measured up to her
papers, .-he would surpass any city o:'
'.er si/.e in the South in every respect.
I believe both of the city's papers to
be a credit to Greenville."?Tuesday's

Again in the Limelight
Columbia, May 31 .--Comptroller
General A. J. Beattie today reported
to Governor Richards that County
Trenailrer F. A. Gross of Dorcheater
1* ahoi't in his accounts to the amount
of $28,#83.66. Mr. Beattie stated
that the shortage was revealed in an
investigation of the financial affairs
of the .county covering the eight
years of Mr. Grosa' administration.
The full amount of the deficit is mad?;
J up of county funds, he said, and the'
state is not involved in the loss.
I Governor Richards arjqounced thai
the report would be turned oyer to
| the attorney general for whatever
action he might deem necessary after
u study of the situation.
! Mr. Beattie'* report showed .? cash
shortage as of May 1, amounting to
$22,285.50 and in addition to this
amount there were found the papers
of the county treasurer checks totaU
ing $6,608.06 drawn on banks that
had closed before the issuance of the
checks and one which the county was
unable to realize.
Among those checks, the comptroller
general said, was one drawn
by (). Ii. (Bossy) Limehouae, former
sheriff of Dorchester, for $4,787.78 to
cover certain taxes collected by the
sheriff. The check was datea July
27, 1028, on a hank which had closed
its doors three months before, according
to K. B. Wilson, one of the
three special agents employed for the
audit.
Numerous errors were found in the
tux books and other uccounts of the
Li easurer s office and the comptroller
general called attention "to
the extreme carelessness of the
treasurer in the management of his
office,"
Mr. Beattie stated that he first began
investigations into the Dorchester
situation last year when he
was una hie to reconcile his accounts
with those of Mr. Gross. First investigations
revealed a shortage of
$14,101.81.
Following this announced shortage
Governor Richards called for the
county treasurer to appear 'before
hi hi on a rule to show cause why he
should not be removed from office.
The treasurer appeared and at the
hearing asked the governor for a
complete audit of his books, ex- i
pressing the belief that the apparent
deficit would be located. The full investigation,
for which three special
agents were employed, resulted in
the report made to the governor yes- I
terday.

Young Lady Drowned
In Lake Near Columbia
.
Columbia, May 2ib?-Mist) Thelma
Park, 20-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. Max Park, of nearWinnsboro,
a junior at the University of
South Carolina, >vat drowned about
3 o'clock last night at Twin Lake, approximately
eight miles from Columbia.
/
She, together with f<?ur other students
of the university kind her escort,
Saiu Taylor, 1002 Dpll street, had
I been in the water only about 20 mini
utee when the fatal accident occur'red.
Only two members of the party
'could swPm^Sanf Taylor* and Roberta
Lovelace, of SpartanbUrg, a senior at
I the university.
Miss Park and her companion, Taylor,
were slowly walking out into fciw
lake when, it is thought she sudden1
ly stepped into water over her head
1 and was lost to the sight of her comJ
panion.
Other members of the party, abou;
16 feet away, were unable to help
the drowning girl, but called frantically
for aid. It was several minutes
before attention was caught, and
then, according to W, R. Taylor, Jr.,
Kershaw, a junior at the university,
the people on the bunk apparently
thought the call was a joke. It was
reported that yesterday afternoon
several swimmers had made calls foi
j help and thnt in no case wer^?%hey
! in danger and that the attendants at
; the lake thought that the call last
night which heralded a fatality was
of the. same variety.
After the crowd, including about a
dozen swimmers who were in the
water at the time, realized that a
bather was drowning, a rush was
made to the spot where the girl was
last seen, many diving in with their
clothes on.
A boat was also sent to the rescue
and it was from this that the body
was finally located with the aid of
a long paddle. It required 30 minutes
of effort to find it.
Death of a Young Lady
Miss Annie Lee Holley, aged 17, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse
Holley of Kershaw, died in Rock Hill
on June 1. The remains were prepared
for burial by the J. F. Maekey
Company and tpken to Kershaw for
interment. Funeral services and interment
took place Sunday morning
at 11 o'clock at Mt. Pisgah Baptist
church, Revs. Broom and Gunter officiating.
The deceased is survived
by her parents and several brothers
and sisters.?'Lancaster News.
Prince deSegan, 19, son of the former
