Richland County graft report targets six year funds loss
An investigating commission’s report to the Governor accuses Richland County of graft in the supervisor’s office over six years. Forgeries and padded vouchers allegedly cost the county up to 20,000 in one year, with Clerk C. McDouglas named as a principal figure. Jarmon testified of padding and sharing with Supervisor Owens, while others named include W. P. Cooper and John Thornton, Richland County contractors. The panel could prove only mismanagement. A separate note covers a proposed Anderson and Ensley Electric Railroad with 100000 capital stock and engineers planning routes avoiding major streams, seeking local subscriptions and business backing.
