/ "A shortage of nearly So, 900 has
been discovered in the books of
ex-County Treasurer P. M. Smith Of
Richland county who held that office
during 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1902.
Surety companies compelled him to
render to them a deed in trust of his

will probably rest until the county
board meets again to investigate.
Ex-Treasurer Smith was early notl-

during the entire investigation. The
only explanation he makes of the
discrepancies is that he kept no
separate personal or farm account
and that all the county and farm
receipts were placed in the same
money drawer. After his settle

balance, whatever his report
showed, to be his property. The
farm decided in trust by Mr.. Smith
