AFFAIRS IN AIKEN.
IK COUNTY IS NOT "BROKE"
tET, THE TREASURER HAV
INfl $19,000 ON HAND.
Aiken. October 27.?Contrary to
: belief of many citizens of this
mmunity, there is still a little monin
the county treasury. It is a bef
among some that the county
d but a thousand or two dollars
hand, and that by the time the
penses of the last term of Court
re met the treasury would be deitcd.
but this is not the case, as
11 be seen by the following figis
given The News and Courier
-respondent by the county treas r.
Mr. Wesley Yonce. The total
ount ot money on hand in the
asury is $19,156.27, which is diied
as follows:
>ney on hand Oct. 15 $6,^55.36
unty road fund 4,278.50
^pensary profits for quarer
ending Sept. 30 7,519.80
Iota! $19,156.27
As the county taxes are now bepaid,
and the profits from the
liday sales of the dispensaries
ming in, there is no danger of the
unty treasury being depleted in
* near future.
