The charge has been made that the
advertising committee of the former
Holly Beach Board of Trade, composed
of George N. Smith and Sherman L.
Dowler, had never made an accounting
of the monies collected, nor expendi-
lures made. l wish to refute this
charge by stating that the minutes of
the Board will show that detailed state
ments have been rendered by this COM
mittee showing the exact amount of
money collected, as we'll as the items
for which the money was expended,
accompanied by receipted bills for the
same, which statements were unan-
imously approved by the Board, and
that a check to cover the balance in
the hands of the committee has been
delivered to the treasurer of the Board,

absolutely unjust and unfoundod, aud
the truth could have been learned by
a prompt attendance at the meetings
