The people Of LaurenS have known
Of an apparent discrepancy in the ac-

dishonesty were concerned or that

twelve years ago there existed then a
muddle in the accounts occasioned by
some transaction in dispensary funds
which was never Strengthened out:

comptroller generals years ago that
deals with this same matter; hence 1t
is no ne" thing or sensational devel-
Opmcnt as would at first appear.
There are a number OF items, SO il
is reported, ON the treasurer's books
that are in question AS everyone
here knows or firmly believes. these
are errors in bookkeeping that should

time ago, and II is sincerely hoped
here that when the Comptroller comes
back or sends his expert that the mat

The county officers here will give
out no statements concerning the mat
ter hence the supposition above that
the alleged shortage referred to is the
ola dispensary matter, is based alto
gethcr on rumor; OF course there is
a possibility that other items have
been found and called into question.
1t Is wholly impossible to give with
any deiiniteness statement until
the official report of the comptroller
general is made public.
The final examination Of the books
is awaited here with much interest.

soon be settled. The books OF the

Col Lewis Appreciation.
October IA, 1908.
Captain o. w Babb,
Commanding Co. D. 1st Infantry
y. G.. s. G., LaurenS, S. c.
Sir:
The Colonel commanding desires to
express to you and the officers and
men OF your command his high ap-
prcciatiOm OF your prompt and cheer
iul response to the call Of duty with
in the last several days, and to con-
Sratulate YOU and them on the splend-
id manner in which you have perform
ed Il most disagreeab!e duty.
Just after the present commanding
officer assumed command of this regi-
mcnt he took occasion to state, at n
smoker given to the officers of the
regiment in Columbia, that the officers
and men Of the regiment stood ready
to obey any call to duty, even to the
extent Of performing the duty which
mas lately dcvolved upon you, and it
is needless TO say that it Is a source
Of sincere qualification to him to know
that his confidence has not been mis-
placed.
Upon first thought 1t would appear
that all that has been accomplished
is the saving of the lives Of some
worthless negroes, but when the
record is entirely made up. it Will be
seen that you have not only done this.
but that as well you have saved the
good name of our beloved State, and
in addition have given renewed as
Suranccs OF the fact that the laws
Of our common wealth must be re-
SpcCted to the end that no man shall
be deprived of life, liberty or property
except by due process of law.
What YOU have thus accomplished
is worth more to the State than she
will give you within the next ten
years.
Again he congratulates you and
conveys to you the expressions of his
highest respect and esteem.
Very sincerely.
w. w: Lewis.
