REPORT OF
SUPERVISOR
Detailed Report Of MIR. Craig
Shows Pickens County to
be in Fair Condition

The following report shows
the amount (as accurate as can
we'll be obtained) of all money
paid out by the county board
for the fiscal year ending Janu-
ary l, 1912.
The auditors abstract shows
that he will collect for the year
1911 s3s, ,65O.91 to be used by the
county board, sl4, ,37o.95 pf
which has been checked out. A
balance of s24, ,279.S6 remains,
to be applied to the debts OF the
county. It appears, therefore,
that the amount owed will ex-
ceed the amount to be collected
by about 81, ,440.73. There will
be some fines and licenses that
may be credited to the above
debt.
The county also owes the
State sinking fund about So, ,WO,
the payment of which is provid-
ed for by a special levy.
This report includes the cost
of seven mules, crushing plant,
steel stockade for convicts, and
about $1,000 which was over
looked in last years report.

Death Of Ex-Shefiff Gilreath

Ex-Sherif Perry D. Gilreath
died at his home in Greenville
Sunday, 98th r1lt. in the 10th
year Of his age. He was one of
che prominent citizens of that
county and was widely known
and universally respected. He
was elected sheriff in 1876 and
held that Office continuously for
a. years. He retired in 1900 and
was succeeded by his son, Mr..
J. d. Filreath, who held the Of
flee for eight years. The Green
Vile News of last Monday pays
a very high tribute to him in
following words:
In the death of Mr.. Gilreath
Greeville has lost a man whose
place will indeed be hard to fill.
During his long period as a pub
lie servant his labors were inesti-
mable in the suppression of law
lessness and the general uplift
of tie coentY. Throughout this
and other states he was recog-
nized as an officer of unquestion-
ed ability and a gentleman of
the highest type.
Mr. Gilreath was a man of
afable disposition whose never
failing cheerfulness was fan in
spiration to all who canein con-
tact with him. Free from
ostentation he lived from day to
dav the exemplary life of a
Christian gentleman, always
happy himself because of his eff.
forts to make others happy. OF
Mr.. Gilreath it can be truthfully
said that he was a man who
feared God and kept His com
cananents.
