AUDITOR'S REPORT CHECKED CP, Mr. Curl ton Sawyor Stopped litre Friday Afternoon and Wont Over Treasurer's Report* Mr. Carlton Bawyer, chief clerk In the Comptroller General's ofhce, stopped here for several hours Fri? day afternoon to look over the county treasurer's report and to cheek it up. He did not take long to finish up hi.< work and went on to Columbia on the nine-thirty train. Mr. Sawyer passed through here Friday morning on his way to Lish opville where he examined and j cheeked up the report of the auditor j and treasurer of that county verier- j day. He came over to Sun.ter on the i i afternoon train getting here about i six o'eloek and because of the fact that there were no errors in the re? ports of the auditor and treasurer he was enabled to go on to Columbia last night. The report was gone over and checked jp in something like an hour and twenty minutes, making this a record breaking time for doing this work, as In some counties it takes several days and even as much as a week or more sometimes. No errors were found In the report and Mr. Sawyer said a great deal In praise of the work of the auditor and treasurer. Sumter county is one of the first counties to get its yearly re port ready for the inspection of the comptroller and It Is a good showing for them when, after it was complet? ed so soon, it wa3 entirely accurate. Mr. A. R. Flowers, chairman of the grand jury, was on hand to go over the report with the chief clerk from the comptroller general's office and he as well as Mr. Sawyer had to sign all of the reports, there being several of them. With the In? spection of the report for la3t year the work for 1910 is all laid by in the auditor's office and from now on the work of 1911 will be that which will take up the attention of the au? ditor and his clerk. Mr. C. A. Lowry has severed his eonneetion with the Atlantic Coast Line at this point. He has been in their service here for several years. For the past four years he has bean in charge of the transfer department, handling all Incoming and outgoing freight, also all freight passing through this transfer. He is the youngest man who has ever held this position for any length of time suc eessfully, and the four gentlemen who have served as agents during his ser? vice have spoken in highest terms of his work. Main street is in a very torn up condition at present, but the people are not complaining for they know that it will soon be as nice a street as there is in the State. to m DR. N. G.
