The Treasurer was careless in pay

that were not properly approved; and
frequently not having the checks or
claims receipted or endorsed by the
payees
In this connection we would state
that the Treasurer should invariably
write or stamp in red ink paid CT :n
claims as paid, and the Auditor should
Likewise write or stamp cancelled on
all vouchers the Treasurer surns over

IN CONCLUSION,

The work before US was enormous,
and we could not in torty-fve days
give thorough investigation of ele7-
en- years work in four Offices, but we
endeavored to distribute our work in
such manner as to obtain fair idea
of the workings Of the School Com.
missioner's, County Commissioners
Auditors, and Treasurer's Offices
those included in the Act of the Leg.
islature, for us to investigate. We
have been engaged in this investigs'
ton much longer than the allotted
forty-fve days, and yet feel that
our work is imperfectly completed.
During our investigation We had
occasion to summon before as num-
Der of persons, and to send for nu-
merous books and papers, and we feel
gratifed at the prompt and courteous
manner with which our demands
were met.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF The COMMITTEE
Appointed to investigate the Fl.
nancial Condition Of Clarendon
County.

At the session of the Legislature,
December, 1887, a Joint Resolution
was passed, appointing S. A. Nettles,
Joseph II. Montgomery, and Henry
l. Reynolds q committee to investi-
gate the financial condition OF Clar-
endon County. Acting under this Res
olution, the above named persons met
July 8, 1883, and organized by electing
S A. Nettles chairman, and Joseph B.
Montgomery secretary. Dr.: d. L.
Reynolds then stated that his. busi-
ness and professional engagements
were such that he could not serve reg
ularly with the Committee. but that
he would endeavor to be present as
often as practicable, and shat if at any
time the other svo members should
sail to ag7es On any suhecs, or point
at issue, that he would come IN as an
arbitrator. The labors and opinions
of the other two members were, how
ever, characterized throughout with
harmony and unanimi*y, and there
arose no necessity to call on DR.. Rey-
nolds for arbitration. He, further
more, did not find it convenient or
see 6t, to assist in the Investigation.
The other two members of the COM
mittee regret much this failure on the
part of DR.. Reynolds to act with us,
and realize that we have thus been
deprived of valuable counsel and as
sistance.
Realizing the responsibility of the
duties we were about to undertake,
we, S. A. Nettles and Joseph H.
Montgomery, appeared before Clerk
Of Court James E Davis, and took
an oath before him to discharge to
the best OF our abilities the duties
that would devolve upon us, faithful
Iy, conscientiously, without fear or
favor. Throughout our whole inves-
tigation we have endeaHored to let
these words faithfully, conscientious
y, without fear or faYor) be our guild
ing principles.

GRAND JURIES.

Was the Grand Jury OF 1887 justified
in recommending the appointment OF
this investigating committee? We
think so. Grand Juries ought to have
more powers given them. The Leg
islature should confer on them, or on
the Foreman of a Grand Jury, full
power in the investigation of the
county Offices to examine all books:
records, count naoncys on hand, and
such other powers as to allow them to
make complete and thorough inves.
tigation. Ordinarily the investigation
of Grand Jury is farce, and then
expert greenhorn. Generally the
report reads something like this
owe have examined all the county
Offices, and ind the books neatly
kept" with possibly slur at some
officer not popular with the foreman
Because man is lawyer does not
by any means constitute him an ex-
pert in examining county offices, as
the past history OF Clarendon county
will show. An expert should be prac-
tically familiar with the workings OF
the office be wishes to examine, and
not person supposed to be theoret-
ically familiar with the duties thereof.
The law provides for four days expert
work. No Grand Jury should en-
deavor in this short time to examine
all the county Offices. !. better way
would be 70 examine as many Offices
as could be satisfactorily examined,
and to leave the others for a succeed
ing year.
The Foreman of the Grand Jury
of 1887 deserves high eeomiurs
for his work. By carefully studying
the laws bearing on his dnties and
the offices he had to examine, he was
enabled intelligently to prosecute his

ahdsvits in our possession, will prove
all We have said. Let US illustrate:
A bridge in a distant part of the
county is reported to need repairs.
The board at a meeting decides that
it will consider the matter, and the
entire board goes to the bridge to
ssinspect" it. Fifteen or twenty dol
lars is the cost of the trip. They de-
eide to repair the bridge. A fifty dol
lar contract is given out. The entire
board again goes on junketing trip
to receive the aforesaid bridge, at a
cost of fifteen or twenty dollars more.
Probably the entire board is compos-
ed of persons who do not know
whether the bridge is properly con-
structed or not. Any way from thirty
to forty dollars has been paid to the
Commissioners TO have a fifty or hun
dred dollar bridge built. An honest
mechanic, disinterested and compe-
tent, for eight or ten dollars would
have done the same inspection, and
sent in written opinion on the sub
iect. This would be a large saving
to the people.
The law allows seventy days for
service. In our opinion twenty-five
days are quite enough for the Com
missioners of Clarendon County to
serve, and we recommend that the
representatives of this county endeav
+ or to have the law amended accord
ingly.
The chief idea with the Commission
ers seems to have been, just little un-
der seventy days, as much mileage and
as little work as possible. Suppose
the poor house needs inspection. The
board meets at twelve o'clock, is in
session an hour or two, and adjourns,
charging for days work At that
meeting it is decided that the poor
house must be inspec' ed. This house
of charity is distant three miles from
Manning, and it would take only a
couple of hours to ride out aud in
spect it. The meeting of the board
and the inspection of the poor house
could all be done, and be easily done,
in a small days work, and at an ad-
ditional cost to the county of only
thirty cents. We doubt if u Com

right to rejoice when the prodigal takes
his place at the banquet? Life insurance
men tell Us that ministers OF religion as
class live longer than any other people,
and all the statistics of men who calculate
longevity confirm that theory. Why is
it? There is no profession that is more
exhausting to the nervous system or more
filled with fatigues, and multitudes of
ministers of religion in different parts of
this country are by their parsimonious
congregations kept on starvation salaries,
the average salary of the ministers of re-
ligion in America less than 800 a year.
And yet, though the profession OF the
ministry in thousands and tens OF thou
sands of cases is a matter of exhaustion
and hardship, they tell US that the aver
age life of the Christian ministry Is longer
than any other life, and l account for it on
the ground of the joy of the service, the
joy of the harvest field, the Joy of the

SPEAK KINDLY.
Some Good Advice as to the Best Results
of SOCIAL Intercourse.

THE Independent
Why should not men who are associated
together in business study and practice
the law of kind words toward each otherP
Why should not the master speak kindly
to his servant? Why should not one
speak kindly 10 a stranger who may ask
him question? Why should not those
who differ in opinion address each other
in the use of respectful and kind words?
Why should those who oppose moral
evils temper their language with the
law OF kindness in the form of utter
ance? Why should not the minister of
the gospel, the doctor and the nurse in the
sick-room. the buyer and the seller, the
banker and the merchant, the governor
and the governed, the judge on his bench,
the warden OF a prison, and, indeed,
every man and every woman, on all occa-
siOns in all circumstances, and under all
provOcations. both study and practice the
law Of kind words in the total intercourse
of life from the cradle to the grave?
There is an amazing power for good or
evil in words. \ large part of human in
fluence is exercised through this channel.
What one is in life, how he affects others,
and how they will feel toward him, de-
ponds very greatly upon the use he
makes OF his tongue. If he goes through
llle VIII ldWteSS anu dCTIu tongue, us TIE
instrument of an equally lawless
and acrid heart, hurting epithets
right and left at others, blistering the
sensibilities of his fellow-men by his own
vehemence. and disgusting them with his
vulgarity, he may set it down as a fact that
he will make himself q nuisance in the
social system. Everybody will be afraid
of him, and manage, as far as possible, to
keep clear of him. II, on the other hand,
he sweetens his own life with kindness of
feeling and kindness of words, he will al
ways be pleasant person to meet, to talk
with, and be acceptable and agreeable
anywhere and everywhere. Society will
find good use for such person, and will
use him to its advantage and his advan-
tage. Kind words are the cheapest, and,
at the same time in practical power for
good results, the most potent words that
one can use.

BE Your Own Almoner.
Zion Herald.1

If you would make the most of the
means you design for charity, distribute
them yourself. Your executors may waste
them, or fail to carry out your purpose.
No one can compass the end in view so
well, or with so little waste, as yourself.
And then, the satisfaction of seeing the
work done with your mortal eyes Wills
are often made in haste. The man has
come to the end and must act, without the
opportunity for review and revision. If he
had assumed the task personally, hewould
have planned more wisely. In this mat
ter, such men as Daniel Hand, Vanderbilt
and Williamson are setting good exam
pie to other benefactors. Do your own
giving, and, to be sure of the opportu-
nity, do IL now.
