Mr.. QUITS adds:
"It will be seen from the above
enumeration of the errors Black made
on his immaculate shipping books
that it is almost impossible for dis
penser to got shipment of goods
correct. If tho proper number of
cases hold out, the dozens and con-
tonts Of the sar1e are very often in
correct, and the railroad bills Of
lading are incorrect or sometimes
not made at all. Goods are shipped
and are not even entered on his
books, as was the case Of tho bill to
Fl. G.. Bookman, Dec. 10Th, 1890.
Fifty cases worth 1910 we're sent
him by Black and no entry made by
Black Of same until Bookman report
ed it, Also the same thing occurred
in the Branchville shipment on July
9th, 1890, when forty-two cases whis-
key worth $206.40 sent to the rail-
road and no charge made by Black
on his shipping books until it was
discovered and reported by the rail-
\ road next day. But why comment
',oSiaiastJhem on astJh when they speak for them
aelves ?ss These errors can be, proved
by tho BOOKS and records in the State
