The special examining committee

submitted the following letter wi
tho quarterly statement:
Colun. ia, S. c., April q, 1897.
TO his Excolloncy, w. II. Ellerbe,
Governor Sir: We have met pur-
suant to Act of General Assembly,
and have made an examination Of
the books and vouchers Of the State
disponsary for tho quarter ending
3lst Of March, 1897. We found the
books written up to date, and neatly
and correctly kept. Wo checked off
all the accounts and vouchers, and
found them correct according to the
books of original entry.
We found vouchers for all pay
ments made, and invoices for all
goods purchased. Wealso examined
tho records Of sales made to dispen.
sers, and checked off tho statements
showing the remittances made by
county dispensers to State Treasurer.
We append hereto the balance
sheet showing balance on March 81,
1897, also the following statements:
|. Statement of assets and liabil-
tiles.
2. Statement of profit and loss &C
counts.
3. Statement of cash.
4. Statement of unearnod profit.
The difference between State
Treasurer's cash balance and the
each balance upon tho disponsary
books is 81, l20 O8, tho former being
greater than the latter by that
amount. The difference is within
$40 OF Of the amount of outstanding
warrants drawn prior to April and
unpaid 10y the State Troasurer at
that date. The above statements are
correct, according to the books,
vonchers and records.
Respectfully submitted,
