The hilI to fix The salaries of county
school commissioners evoked general
discussion As i came from the COM
mice tho bill provided . salary of 500
and mileage Ctive cents for each county
school commissioner. except in Charles
ton where the salary was fixed at $500.
Mr. Graham. Of Williamsburg, moved
to strike from the bill the passage re-
latinc to mileage. Tablcd-yeas so,
nays 81.
NIr. Lescsne. of Charleston, moved to
strike out the passage fixing the salary
of the commissioner for Charleston
comfy at $500. and to make the salary
the same rs those in other counties. He
explained that tue official in Charleston
had 10 more to 10 than those in other
counties. and there was. therefore, no
reason W hy he should receive any great
or salary. Adopted.
1Ir. O'Drien, OF Colleton, moved that
the mileage be restricted to Si0G at the
outside. Adopted after a short discus
sion.
Mr.. Rutland, of Fairfield, moved to
increase the salaries to S1C0. He re-
gerded the bill as death-blow to the
common school system of the State.
How could competent and efficient COM
nlissioners be secured at salary of $500
per annum? He was perfectly willing
to economize the public funds, but this,
he feared, was pruning too closely. The
amendment was voted down.
Mr.. Boyle voiced the sentiment Of the
Berkeley delegation when he asked for
an amendment making an cxcep-
ton iu favor of Berkeley county,
whose commissioner he wanted to have
500 salary without mileage, but the
House would have none Of it. and the
amendment was voted down.
Mr.. Jordan, of Aiken, moved to strike
ont the enactino words of the bill.
Nh. Lesesne. of Charleston. said that
in reportinc the bill the committee had
no aim or intention to strike at or cripple
the system. The office of school com
missioner was more an Office Of honor
than of profit. The committee was of
the opinion that salary OF 5000 per an
nun and mileage would be abundant
pav.
Mr. Evans Of Chesterfield, said that
his school commissioner mad Dcen con-
tent to WORK Tor S9O year, ana was
doing faithful and efficient work at that
price.
MIR. boozer, Of Edgeneld, was Wiling
to increase the pay TO S3oO ana mileage,
