Kerr Scott, commissioner of agri-
culture, few days ago was ''kidding''
some Sampson county folks about
the poor land in that section of the
State. Monday morning a good farm
er from Sampson brought to Mr.
Scott stalk of corn, already tas-
selling, and with the laconic state
ment, ''Put one from Alamance coun-
ty beside that" placed the corn on
the commissioners desk and walked
out. Later in the day Mr.. Scott con-
fessed to. newspaper men that per-
haps he talked a little too fast. He
says he can match, or beat, that stalk
of corn, but it will take little time.

Reports around the capital city
have it that several hotels which had
hoped to get the annual convention
of the State Federation of Labor
have lost all chance of landing the
convention because of lobbying ac-

hour legislation during the recent
legislature. The laborites do not care

 A. Yes.
 Q. What is the date of thatP
 A. Entered January 30.
 o. Therefore, it was entered in January and it could not possibly be an item paid before entry on January 31 and appear on that rec onciliation and be correct?
 A. Apparently yes.
 @. Let us go to the beginning again.
 A. You don't need to. I am fol- lowing you.
 Q. You have stated that that reconciliation was made to bring the bank and books together; you also stated several times that that list of what you called prepaid items is made up of items which were paid by the bank physically and before entry was made in those books. Now, am asking you a simple question. If the date is Jan- uary 30 and that is the only record you have before you, that item was paid and entered in, January.
 A. As 1t appears from this date here, yes.
 o. Therefore, that reconciliation sheet must be incorrect.
 A. It may possibly, but I don't know.
 e. You know it is. don't you?
 A. No, don't know that it is.
 Incorrect?
 @. If in making this reconcilia- ton you used an item as 8 prepaid item deducted from the bank bal ance because 1t wasn't entered ir the books, and 1t has already been entered in the books 1t has to be wrong. You know that, don't you?
 A. In making up this reconcilia- ton
 o. What is the date of entry2
 A. The date of entry there is January 30.
 Q. Is it also entered there Jan- uary 30?
 A. As it appears yes.
 Q. Therefore, that reconciliation is incorrect.
 A. I don't know whether it is

Brown Admits Inaccuracies In Bank Reconciliation Sheets

there being detailed record of the payee's names that reconciliation meant absolutely nothing for me and has not been used or considered in any form whatsoever.
 e. Now, MT. Brown, on page 6400 you stated that in the month of February the total amount was SAG, ,7O5.59. You just looked at that total and there are two items in the sum of $138,4 AGO and $105, ,760.5O. You have just examined the records and the records are in your possession. Whether or not those records in- dicate that the warrants payable sheets were paid on February 3.
 A. They were paid in the month of January, entered under date of February 3.
 Apparently Not
 @. Isn't 1t true that those two items in the sum of $233 ,00c should not be included in that total of $466, ,0O0?
 A. have said to you several times that on the surface they apparently should not have been entered.
 @. Turn to the bank reconcilia- tion sheet in the month of January 31, 1882. What is the total amount of prepaid items on that list?
 A. $799,2O5.55.
 o. Now, by prepaid items you mean items which were paid by the bank but which were not entered in the books? A. Correct.
 Q. Will you turn to voucher 30143. What is the date of entry of that item? A. January g, 1882. o. Therefore, it could not be on that list and be correct? A. Not for that voucher. o. Will you look at voucher 30146? A. Yes. @. Is that on the reconciliation sheet? A. Yes, 1t is. o. How much is 1t? A. $200. @. Do you find it in the warrants

Atty. Seaman Resumes Questioning or Brown

| A. Yes, it appears under the head ing of water. o. That is the February reconcile ation. Isn't 1t? A. Right. Q. You have stated here that that item represented here by that list of prepayments was not entered in the books during that month. Now, you were wrong, weren't you? Doesn't Remember A. I don't know whether testi- fled to any such thing, MT. Seaman. I didn't testify regarding any one particular fund. I testified about all the months and whether I testified regarding the month of February 1881, you will have to find the rec ord of the testimony for me to tell
 o. MT. Brown, I just asked you this morning-I'm not talking about what you testified at some other time-this morning, didn't you say that those items which are listed as prepaid checks were not posted dur ing the month, that they were paid by the bank and not posted?
 A. That's correct, yes.
 @. Now, you were wrong, weren't you, in ragard to that one item for $138. .460?
 A. don't know whether I was wrong.
 Q. Suppose you examine that and satisfy yourself?
 A. think the answer is that the cross sheet is in error on this reconciliation sheet, that the incor- rect amount of outstanding checks has been used and those checks which were paid by the bank in January without being entered were wrongly picked up again in Febru- ary. The difference between = o. The point is that it is wrong.
 Wrong On Surface A, It appears to be wrong on the surface, yes.
 @. It is wrong, isn't it, MT. Brown?
 A. This one month appears wrong, yes.
 e. That's right. That one item is wrong. A. 1ulS one uOuCIE yes.
 @. Now, we stated originally that the reconciliation was the bringing together of the two balances-the balance in the bank and the ball. ance, according to the books. Now, then, If there is one item wrong in the reconciliation then that recon ciliation is a mathematical impossi- bility. Is that correct? A. No, if the balance Is wrong, there must be compensatirig error. o. Then there were two errors in one.
 A. Two errors. o. Will you also look at the Jan- uary reconciliation for vouchers 12,229 to l2,253? A. Yes. @. What is the total amount, please? A. $l05. .762.50. o. Now, MT. Brown, will you look at your February reconcilia- tion again. please? A. Yes, I have 1t. e. What is the total-$105 ,762 50? A. That is the total of the group of checks we are just discuss ing.
 \Q. That is also on the February reconciliation, isn't it7 A. That's right. e. It was paid on February 8? A. Entered in the books February 8; paid in January. c. Now. is that another item of e compensating error? A. There would necessarily have to be. yes.

 o. MT. Brown, supposing you tel this jury what 8 bank reconciliation is.
 A. A bank reconciliation is 6 reconciliation between the amount on deposit in the bank and the amount of balance as shown by the books of any individual or cor poration. It takes into account any deposit made on the premises oi the bank entered on the books of the particular depositor. It takes into account checks which have been charged on the books of account but which have not been prepaid by the bank, and takes into account mis- cellaneouS adjustments made by the bank which may or may not be on the books of account.
 o. Will you turn to the checks that are considered prepaid items on that reconciliation2 The items in the appropriation ledger are posted from the warrants payable sheet, Is that correct?
 A. Yes.
 o. So that if they were not posted in the appropriation ledger, then they were not posted in the warrants payable sheet either. Is that correct?
 A. Yes.
 o. Will you find me vouchers Mo- 12143 to 12193? That is the first item of a sum of $138,460.
 A. That appears on page 3 of the warrants payable register for the year 1881. 7 0. What is the date of those items?

 @. Will you turn to the February reconciliation sheet?
 A. Yes, sir.
 o. Will you turn to the prepaid items on that sheet?
 No List
 A. I don't have the detailed list for the month February 1881. The total of the items is shown on the bank reconciliation sheet, amount being $466, ,705.59.
 O. So you don't have 6 detailed list of that $466.000?
 A. No. don't see it.
 o. Isn't this the list right here?
 A. That is a list showing the to- tai but we don't have any detailed list for it; and think that is what I said. We don't have list of the details.
 @. We'll now this reconciliation on the February sheet ..
 A. We have amounts of cheeks only without the names for the month of February 1881.
 e. Now, MT. Brown, I want you to look at this sheet again. Do we have on the very first sheet three payments by banks totaling $4Se,. 705 .59?
