There may have been naught in the evidence to even indicate crim inal intent, but there was much to show that officials have been remiss in their duties. The trial has arous ed a more vigilant public which will expect better reports in the future. And compliance with the law in giving regular and complete reports of the county's business, as required in the publication of county court proceedings and semi-annual re ports of the offices of clerk, treas urer and sheriff, will alleviate much suspicion and tend to re-engender public confidence in its officials. LEXINGTON Handling the County's Business. THE jury has acquitted Gay M. Anderson, county clerk, of the charge of larceny of public monies. He is now a free man, and it is with no idea of adding to the tribulations of Mr. Anderson that this newspa per takes occasion to comment on the matter. The office of county clerk is such, and the proper handling of the pub lic's money is such, as to make some comment on what was revealed in the evidence a proper matter; and it is only with the idea of looking to the future betterment in the hand ling of the county's business that this is written. The fact that the trial took place, and the fact that there was evidence produced showing lax conduct of the county's business has aroused comment on every hand. It was left for the jury to determine the guilt of the defendant under the charge of the indictment, but the jury's ver dict has not cleared the record with respect to certain matters revealed in the evidence. On admission of the defendant himself, the clerk's office was with out record of transactions in which he received monies for the county. The law contemplates and the pub lic may expect that accurate rec ords of such transactions be kept at all times. , It was also shown by the evidence that county monies had been depos ited in the "county clerk's" bank account This account, it may be said, was not the personal account of Mr. Anderson, but an account which he was permitted by the court to keep for handling the bus iness of his office. Under the pres ent court, this account has been done away with, and the clerk now turns all county monies over direct ly to the county treasurer. Thus has been eliminated what was con sidered an irregular procedure. The evidence of the case was quite convincing in regard to the state's auditor uncovering records of business which had not been re vealed in other audits made to cover a similar period. This leads to the question whether the county has had competent auditors on the job in years past If they were com petent, why did they not show the things which DeLap's audit show ed? But whether or not the past audi tors were competent, the evidence revealed that it would be far cheap er for the state to audit the books annually than for the county to se lect its own auditor. A man who can show whether proper account By BEULAH NICHOLS Mrs. George Peck was pleasantly surprised Saturday evening when some of her friends dropped in to help her celebrate her birthday, Those present were Mr. and Mrs. George Peck, Mr. and Mrs. J.
