The Investigating Committee Reports to the Governor That But for Stealing Richland County Wonld Be $50,000 Bet? ter Off. Columbia, October 5.-The com? mission appointed to investigate Rich? land county affairs made a sensation? al report to the governor today. The report says that but for the stealing that has been going on in the Super? visor's office for the past six years, the county, instead of having slippe? back $50,000 in debt in that time, would have been ahead, as was the case when Supervisor S. M. Owens took charge six years ago. The graft seems to have been work? ed by innunaerable forgeries, padded vouchers and system of cross mark vouchers. The person most heavily involved in the forgeries is Clerk C. M. Douglasss, a prominent member of the First Baptist church and a very old man. Numerous vouchers that he cashed to pay personal notes at the bank have been pronounced forgeries. These forgeries amounting in one year to over $2,000. Commissioner Harmon confessed that he padded vouchers, and that in his three and a half years connection with the office he received $4,300. He says he divided with Supervisor Ow? ens, but Owens denies this. Harmon is said to have gone to Canada. Others involved are W. B. Cooper and John Thornton, Richland county bridge contractors. The commission has been able to prove only mismanagement against Supervisor Owens. McCaw. ?torry Supervisor Appointed. Columbia, * October 4.-Governor Heyward today appointed W. K.
