COLUMBIA, 5. o., Sept. IL, 1872.
MR. EDITOR: find that an error has
been made in stating the amount of sales
by the different merchants in the city as
regards j. G. Dial, who is put down as
one whose sales are less than $50, 1000.
BY reference to the books of 1871, I find
Mr.. Dial returned his sales as over
$4,000, and paid business license for
that amount. Mr.. Dial informs me that
his sales for the last year were about the
same amount as the previous year, and
thnt he made the same return to MIR.
Etter, Former Clerk, but by some error
his name was placed as one whose sales
were less than $4,000 I make the
above statement in justice to all parties
concerned, as think it an error on the
part of both Mr.. Dial and former Clerk,
