the better one.

SO THE INVESTIGATION WILL CONTINUE

Work for the County Commissioners
The Report of the Com.
mittee.

The County Commissioners meet Mon
day in regular monthly session.
At this meeting the committee of ex-
perts appointed to examine into the
finances of the county will make par
tial report.
So far they have examined only the
books of Treasurer Knight Owing to
the fact that the collection of taxes has
not yet been completed they have been
unable to make any examination of
Sheriff Jones accounts.
But this will he done,
AS result of the examination of the
Treasurers books, the county is 81 5S5
better eff than, it was before.
Ii was found that there should have
been in September. 1897. a balance in
the Treasury of S2,116.65, whereas the
books showed only $531.02.
The committee. however, will say in
the report to the Commissioners that
this is an error caused by carelessness
in book keeping, and not to any intention
TO defraud the county out of the money.
for Mr.. Knight had the money in the
bank and had told several persons that
it had come out of the county, but he
did not know just where the error was.
As soon as the mistake was discover
ed he gave Il check for the amount due,
The same bookkeeping ii. q. VIII
lamsl that made this error. also made
one ON the other side. cutting Mr..
Knight out of 500 in fees.
1t will be seen from these things how
wisely the County Commissioners acted
in ordering the investigation. The
work should be continued until every
book and account has been thoroughly
examined, for if appearance, so far. are
not deccitful a big shortage will be
found in some of the accounts. At least
there are those in a position to know
who say that everything points in that
direction.
A cursory examination Of the books
Of the register of deeds, and the County
Commissioners is said TO show that the
Fusion register got about "a 500 for his
services for the commissioners during
the time he was in Office. While his
Democratic predecessor received only
some 81 800.
The exact figures. though. in regard
TO this latter matter are not yet known.
Enough is known. however. to he able
TO say that there are some sensations in
store for the people of Wake county be-
fore this examination is completed.
