There Is an enormous waste of pub,
lie money, resulting from want OF
business methods and of supervision
lot the public business by the several
fiscal bodies, county courts, boards OF
education, municipal corporations, and
the like. One OF the most important
things you can do for the economical
benefit of the people at this session
is to devise a system OF supervision.
Every officer who handles public mon.
ey should be required to keep his ac.
counts after some uniform and intelli.
gent fashion. and his statements OF
settlements Of this money should be
examined by an expert accountant,
Slch system as this Is in force in
the State Of Ohio, aud perhaps else.
where. 1t Isl called .'the system OF
public accounting" The passage of
1t in Ohio was secured by the earnest
1abors Of the Ohio State Chamber Of
Commerce. It has more than fulfilled
expectations, and 1t is said to have
saved the people Of that State enor.
nous sums Of money In the prevention
of what would otherwise have been
lost or misappropriated: The meth.
|ofs Of transacting the public business
in this State are loose. disjointed. out
of date. and wasteful. They were In.

has outgrown them. There Is urgent

Men Who VIII Wind Up the State Dlsponsary

Governor Martin r. Ansel on Monday
appointed the board of five commission
ers to take charge Of winding up the
affairs of the State dispensary. Their
names are given below. These gentlemen
were named without consultation, as
there had not been time to get their con-
sent. The appointments are as follows:
w. j. Murray, Columbia; G. X. Hen
derson, Aiken; w. Wells Simpson, Wood
ruff; Nelson @. Poe, Greenville; John
McSween, rimmonsville.
Two of the appointees refuse to ac-
cept, namely: N. @. Poe and w. w.
Simpson. Unless these gentlemen re-
consider Governor Ansel will have to
make other appointments.
Five men of higher standing in the
business world could not be found in
South Carolina than the five whom Gov
ernor Ausel has placed on the comm iss on
to wind up the affairs of the State dis
pensary. Each one of them is busi-
ness man, pure and simple, and none of
them is politician or has ever taken
part in political affairs. They are all
men of temperate habits and it is likely
that all of them are total abstainers.
