BY TRUESDALE CARR.

Oct. 23rd in a Barber Shop

Robert Stevens, a negro, was shot
and killed by Truesdale Carr, anoth-
er negro, in the pressing room of

Wis was the principal witness. He

AFFAIRS In AIKEN.
THE COUNTY is NOT "BROKE,
VET, THE TREASURER HAv
INC $4,000 ON HAND.

Aiken. October 27.-Contrary to
the belief of many citizens of this
community. there is still little mon
ey in the county treasury. It's be-
lief among some that the county
had but a thousand or two dollars
on hand, and that by the time the
expenses of the last term of Court
were met the treasury would be de-
pleted, but this is not the case, as
Will be seen by the following fig
ures given The News and Courier
correspondent by the county treas
urer, Mr.. Wesley Yonce. The total
amount OF money on hand in the
treasury is $l9.l5627, which is di-
vided as follows:
Money OH hand Oct. IS So,S55.36
County road fund 4,278.5O
DiSpensary profits for quar-
ter ending Sept. 30 7,5lo.8O
Total $lo.l5o.27
AS the county taxes are now be-
ing paid, and the profits from the
holiday sales OF the dispensaries
coming in, there is no danger of the
county treasury being depleted in
the near future.
