OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS SHORT.
Marion Count superintendent of
Education Has Disappeared.

Correspondence of Charlotte News.)
Columbia, S.. c., September 11.-Sever-
al days ago G.. Raymond Berry, county
superintendent Of education of Marion
county, disappeared and he is alleged
to be $4,000 short in his accounts.
The case is a peculiar one and is said
to be without a parallel. Although Ber-
ry has apparently abandoned his office,
the affairs of that office must take care
of themselves until the alleged default
ing official is proven guilty or crime or
until he is adjudicated out of office be-
fore some regular constituted court.
In submitting the matter to the at
tOrney general for an opinion, State
Superintendent of Education Martin
makes the following statement:
Mr.. c.. Raymond Berry, county SUI
peritendent Of education for Marion
county, has been charged with forgery
in two instances, in that he forged pay
certificates of school teachers, and the
sheriff reports that after searching for
him at his place of residence n at
his office n generally through Ma
rion county and other parts of the state,
he cannot be found.
1.-THE office is closed and 4 public eX-
animation for school teachers must be
held next Friday and there are other
important duties of the office to be at
tended to. Please advise me whether a
vacancy exists and if so how it shall
be filled, and if not how the office shall
be operated"
Replying to the above, Attorney Gen
eral Gunter says that the mere fact
that the defendant county superinten-
dent of education stands charged with
the crime of forgery does not Of itself
create a vacancy, adding that, lin the
absence of any statute law providing
that such a charge should work a tor
fixture of this office, the defendant
has the right to invoke the legal pre-
sumption that every nan is considered
innocent until he is proven guilty.
Continuing the attorney general says:
The office of county superintend-
ent of education is elected by the peo-
pie for a specified term, gives bond,
subscribes to an oath. is invested with
the dignity of a public office generally
and for the full term appointed cannot
be suspended or removed by any exec
tuiVe officer or officers"
In conclusion, Mr.. Gunter says the
only way to determine the question is
by a judicial investigation.
