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.
