dicuIouB clerical errors made by
buying clerks employed during the
recent session of the legislature
hate played the cat and banjo

ficials to deciaro with disgust that

regulations, following put Ideas
long advocated by Governor Smith.
Randolph Anderson, pf Chatham,
secretary of th© house reapportlon-

his Cobh county home yesterday to

tho northwest corner of tho state.
Mr. Anderson know that the legis

pe lay. He soon found out. Put-
inm had been put In tho Eighth ’’all
leht, but the clork, In copying the
amendment, hnd made a mistake
nd put It In the Seventh. Then Mr.
Andorson looked further Into the
bill. He found no other legally ma
terial errors, but he found a num
ber of ridiculous ones showing eith

part of the particular copying clerk
