Whittemore must have somewhere about
ten thousand dollars this session. That
ought to hs satisfactory. He is always,

accounts, aud those of similar nature.
will reveal the startling fact that they
were furnished by an impoverished State.

REPAIRING CLOCKS,
Noa. 25A and 26}, and referred to in a.
y. Jones evidence, which will show tlfe
amount to be several hundred dollars.
Mr. Glaze. another jeweler OF Columbia,
has several accounts, some of which are
designated as Nos. 81, 62 and G3, by A.
.. Jones. Instead of jewelry we now
have gorgeous military trappings for our
legislative heroes, who belonged to we'll
equipped but badly organized militia.
These amounted to something over
twenty-ono hundred dollars. In connec-
ton with these accounts, see evidence of
T. Simkins, (under the head of "pay
certificates,") who states that he pur-
chased some articles from Mr. Glaze, and
that his account as well % that of s, J..
Lee twas settled with o legislative pay
certificate. AfterWard he and Lee were
both sued, and he paid Mr.. Glaze two
hundred dollars, and Mr.. Glaze still holds
the certificate as claim against the
State.
In the account of w. j. Whipper, at
torney at law, designated as C-12, he
charges the State the modest sum of
800 PER DAY FOR FoRTy-THREE DAYS
professional services rendered the COM
mittee appointed to investigate the affairs
of the Rsnk of the State. This inyesti.
cation resulted in the appointment of
Representative @. o. Pnfier, receiver.
whereby the State lost q large amount of
money, by commissions and other meaus.
For years largo accounts amounting to
several hundred dollars, annually, have
been paid for q I
CLEANING THE HALLS
of the Senate end House of Representa-,
tives, while hundreds of col7icio were In
the city entirely idle. To illustrate the
economy practiced now, We will state,
that not one dollar is paid out for such
work, convict labor being utilized. F.
We have examined the; accounts for
fitting locks to the desks of members, and
find that during one session the State
was charged With S57 new locks, where
there are only 164 desks In the Senate
and House, thus giving more than two
locks to earh desk. We submit q few
accounts for wood aud coal. Upon o
close calculation, We find lat during ono
session moro than
b ONE THOUSAND CORDS OF WOOD
and one thousand three hundred and
twenty tons of coal we're charged for
and at the same time there was not o
single vapd stove in use at the State
House. Sergeant Williams In his evi.
dence states that not fourth 6: she
wood and coal purchased waa consumed
at the State Honas. He s!so says that
Mr.. Crews furnished and delivered to
any of the members who asked for it this
necessary commodity.
From the account OF Mr.. Mayrent it
appears that ne furnished Senators Whit.
temore, Maxwell and others with wood.
The bills rendered show that thousands
OF dollars were spent annually for stoves
to heat the State House and committee
rooms. Sergt. Williams testifies that
the committee rooms were furnished with
stoves every yesr, and that, when he
called for them, tho members told him
cit was none of his business"
Mr. Palmer states that the stoves In
the State House are WORTH 81 800 at this
time, and that he does not lind one
eighth Of the stoves ut the Capitol which
he furnished.
We will not attempt to give ethe amount
of soap,
HAIR BRUSHES AND TOWELS
furnished, but will simply state that The
accounts amounted to thousands OF dol

We respectfully call your attention to
the accounts designated as Noa. 812,S2,
923, 83, "a, 86, 96, 81. S8 and 80, in evi.
dence of A. 0. Jones, aud OF and a I
in the evidence Of Mr. Woodruff, in
which it is shown that State officials,
members of the House aud Senate. clerks
and attaches were furnished with most
of the leading daily papers of the State
and o largo number of weekly country
papers. In addition 70 the above the &C.
counts, vouchers and evidence show that
