we feel that we nave not consumed matters under Investigation demand ed. We have not quite finished the record of county scrip and school war rants which are to be burned. for the reason that it was only last week that we camc ll possession of the books used for that purpose. We had al- reaay made list of these warrants and scrip but had this work all to to over again on the books. Ne wou!a call attention to the fact that the commissioners Of Pulaski county have spent six weeks in listing tHa scrip for the burning board. and arc not yet through With that part Of tho work. We wish to express our thanks to each and every gentleman abont the courthouse for courtosies extend ed to LIS. In conclusion NC will state that there has been some complaint from certain quarters in regard tG the time consumed in this investga- tion. In fact efforts have been made to have it called off.
