The committee engaged in investi gating the finaiicial alffabls of Pickons county, worked three days the past week in the F apervisor's office. I hey took up the claims .f the Supervisor and Con mi sioners where they had charged for work as Special Commis sioners, and found that $758.47 has been charged to and collected from the county for their services by some of the Supervisors and Commission. era during a period of ten years. There way be other claims of this nature found later. The committee has only investigated the claims so far of this nature, that show on the books where the officers themselves acted as Special Commissioners The most of this was found iu the years 1901-2 3 4. The committee also found that a cheek, No. 897, wans issued Apr I 29t, 1902, to J. McD. Bruce, of 'ickens, for $697.61 in payment for certaiu claims held by him. On the follow ing day a clieck, No. 603, for $3,088 - 62 -was given tseo Pickeus Bank, w bich, according to the claims enter. ed on the back of the stubs mucluded the check No 897 paid the previous day. There are other irregulari ties which are now under investiga. tion by the committee. '1 here are several instances where parties who held claims received pay for them and afterward the same claims ware paid again to other parties who claim to have held certificates for same. The above is from the Easley Progress, whose editor, Mr. C. T1. Martin, is chairmau of the investiga ting committee. This committe, so far, lhas found that several hundred dollars have been paid out for special commissioner work, all of wh.ich has been known for some time. In r egard to the double payment of money for claims to J. McD. Bruce and the Pickens Bank: The cnmmittee will finid, upon thorough examination, that this transaction was all straight and honest. The calcula ions, figures, claims paid off, and the settlement sheet are all on hle in the county commissloners' hifico and open to inspection. '.ihey did not searchi the records, anri jumped at what does look like a double payment, from the fact that duplicate numbers ap peared on the check st ub. The clerk of tbo board made the error in re cording the numbers, and the Comn mittee, seeing the num tmbers, jumped to the conclusion that the Pickons Bank and also Mr. Bruce had drawvn pay for the same claima. Ini justico to Mr. IBuce, ne hope that Mr. Martin will be as quick to pulblish a retraction as he was to show up the transaction. Chief Cureton Gets Busy.
