A RARE OFFICIAL
HE PAID STATE TOO MUCH MON-
 FEY,
Captain George F. Sedberry Finds this Phenomenon in Sheriff c. A. McWilliams of Autauga
 County.

Capt. George r, sedberry has found an unusual phenomenon in his scruti- ny of the books and accounts of county officers throughout the State.
 He has found a county officer who has paid too much money in the State treasury. Frequent, indeed, 1t is that he finds a small shortage on, account of a clerical error. Sometimes he has found shortages that are not small and are not caused by the careless work of an underpaid clerk.
 But in the person of G. A. McWil- Hams, sheriff of the zoos county of Autauga. he has found county official who has turned too much money over to the already healthily supplied treas ury of Alabama.
 In July. 1905, he paid into the treas ury $9 more than was coming to 1t. The $9 was part of the board bill of the prisoners that rightfully belonged to him. He will be reimbursed imme- diately.
 The books of other officers of Au- tauga were examined and found per- fectly correct. Examiner Sedberry re- ported on Judge of Probate George S. Livingston, County Superintendent of Education H. A. Askins, Tax Collector R. B. Jones and Circuit Court Clerk T. w Smith
