treasurer, and their inability TO make
an accurate report upon an original
investigation is shown by the state
ment In their report that 1t would
give us pleasure to- find any omitted
record and that they have not de-
termined which of the treasurers is
responsible for the S6o0.S6 shortage
reported by them. To do so. they
say. would be quite a difficult task
There was no proper checking in or
out of the treasurer's and no approved
settlements for several years., show
Ing that their supposed investigation
was mere compilation of the often
pcorrect annual settlement sheets,
which they say have never been ap-
proved-for the obvious reason that
they were incorrect. Their work is
not an original examination into the
facts.
As TO Complaint.
"As to their complaint ON account
OF the lack Of system and manner OF
bookkeeping in such Offices beg to
state that the system now In use by me
has the approval of Comptroller Gen
erals Hagood. Stoney. Werner. Eller-
bee. Norton, Derham and others. un-
der whose direction 1t has worked
we'll. But no system will work salts
factorily If the requirements are ig-
nored by the incumbents in office; nor
willy it be Ineligible to accountants
unfamiliar with the requirements OF
the laws upon which it is based.
"Greenville county recently un-
dertook to adopt a new system of
keeping accounts in its public offices
at an initial cost of something like
$4,000 to the county. but it has
proved practically worthless and mis-
leading, as neither the county treas
urcr nor the county auditor can use
it. and at the same time comply with
the statutory requirements relating to
their Offices"

GOOD ROADS.

Commissioner Watson will repeat
his recommendation looking to the
attachment to the department of a
State highway engineer, as against
any proposition looking to a State
highway commission, and as to State
assistance to the United States soil
survey in the prosecution of its work.
In connection with the latter II may
be mentioned that ON Saturday last,
the United States soil survey Issued
IN completed form the map and re-
suits Of the survey of the Conway
area In this State, making very nearly
5000 square miles OF territory that
bas already been covered THE State
II is hoped that the legislature will
take some step in furthering the work
of road improvement and drainage In
this state. Commissioner Watson has
before made these recommendations
and has talked 1t on every occasion
but not yet has the legislature done
SRything for road Improvement. The
appointment OF state highway en-
Rineer, as he suggests. will be a for.
ward step in this direction.
With the appointment of a state
highway engineer should come tn,
appointment of county engineers, OF
road masters, thus giving to one mar
the duty of caring for our roads ant
another the duty of carrying on tn,
sffice business now done. by the super
xisors. ~"

III South Carolina. What do Repub-
lioars la Ohio Michigan, Indiana
and Colorado think of that? Yet
the system was .parpetuated in the
last Republican National Convention
by the Federal steam-rolIer over the
protest OF delegations from many
states.
'While absolute equality would
require an apportionment based
strictly upon the last Republican
vote, | think no one contends for
that The plan proposed in the last
Republican National Convention
favored the states in which the Re-
publican vote was the smallest, by
first apportloning four delegates to
each state and the apportioning the
remaining delegates on a pro-rata
basis. For the information of Re-
publicans throughout the United
StatesI have worked out the appor-
tionment on this plan, The number
Of d delegates from states in the next
National Convention. not counting
Arizona and New Mexico, will be
1850, If each of the 46 states be
allowed four delegates at large, this
will take out 1S4, leaving S66 to be
apportioned and the basis would be
one delegate for each 1855 votes or
fraction. To be more than fair,
have assigned an additional dele
cate to Mississippi although it has
not major fraction. submit t.
all fair-minded men that this plar
should be adopted.
