We understand that the investlga.
ton of the various county Offices, in
stituted by the county court several
months ago, is at last completed and
the report before the court. The peo-
| Pile have a right to know why the in
vestigation was started and what it re.
suited in, il anything. Make the
whole matter public. We've been
asked a number of times why the in
vestigation was inaugurated and what
had been discovered. We are unable
to answer either question, so we think
it would be wisdom on the part of the
court to make and print a concise
statement of the entire proceedings.

cured the contract for putting up q
fence around the rifle range, he Dor
rowed a portable forge from the
Schneider Granite Company at Gran

purchased a smaller forge from St.
Louis, and brought the forge belong
ing to the Schneider Company to his
residence and put it away. After he
completed his contract he traded the
forge he had bought to Fred Delanc
for a shotgun. In a few days tn.
news was carried to Graniteville tina
Tual had traded off the forge belong
ing to Schneider, and one day las
week one of the Schneiders came tt
town to make inquiry about the forge
and. of course, found it safe and SOUND
in Mr.. Tual's keeping. Mr. Tual wants
everybody to understand that he didn'
trade the Schneider forge for q shot
