j. PAUL STRIBLING'S VIEWS.
Calls Attention to the Statutes
Work for the Grand Jury.

Richland, June 29.-Editors Keo-
wee Courier: Since my views as to
the Clerk OF Courts salary, his way
or getting 1t, etc, were asked for
some time ago In your paper by G..
G.. Jaynes, | have talked with a num-
ber Of leading citizens and consulted
an attorney as to the legal side Of
this question. and am ready to re-
port. Sections GIL and 612 Of the
Revised Statutes of the State read as
follows:
Section Gil. Each county officer
shall be required to purchase and
keep in his office, open to public in
spection during office hours, a book,
in which shall be kept an itemized
account Of all moneys received by or
due to him, whether received by him
or due to him as salary, fees or
costs, or In any other manner, as
pay to him for his services by virtue
Of his office: Provided, That nothing
herein contained shall be construed
to require any officer to demand the
payment Of his fees and costs in ad-
vance. AT the close Of each fiscal
year each county officer shall trans
NIT an itemized copy Of said account,
under oath, to the Office of County
Supervisor
Section 612. The County Super
visor, in addition to other books kept
in his Office, shall keep a separate
book, in which he shall enter upon
his books the total amount Of each
account so furnished, opposite the
name Of the officer furnishing the
said account, and file the account in
his Office as other county records are
kept: Provided, That the provisions
OF this section shall not apply 10 the
counties OF Sumter, Lexington,
Berkeley and Newberry."
/ think the above requirements as
to officers will settle the question If
they are obeyed strictly. take 1t
for granted that any voter can get
this information as to what the
Clerks office pays If he will call on
the Clerk or the Supervisor for the
record in this matter.
/ hnd Mr.. Jaynes has called on the
foreman OF the grand jury to express
himself along this line, and as our
Court will be In session next week /
suggest that our grand jury take up
this matter and make such report as
they deem proper
If 1t Is found that the Clerks office

marked fidelity to the people. His
second term as President was one
that brought out the real character
of the man. Strong, fearless, un-
finching, he met some of the gravest
problems that have ever confronted
this government, and solved them
quickly and for the best interests of
the whole country. In the face of
direct opposition from many Of the
great financiers, and In defiance of
the leaders Of his own party, he met
one Of the greatest financial crises,
and brought the country safely OUT
Of panic and chaos into prosperity.
He was leader of men, and the
strongest opposition never daunted
him, and success crowned his efforts.
A man entirely human, his most
ardent admirers could not claim for
him perfection, and must admit his
grave faults; and his most unsparing
enemy is forced to admit that there
was much Of good to be found in him
aside from his sterling worth as a
leader and thinker and diplomat. His
close watch over national affairs be-
fore, during and since his administra-
tions peculiarly fitted him to advise
and counsel, and when he spoke his
words promptly caught the public
ear, and his counsel and advice were
sought.
His death removed the only Ex-
President, and he will be greatly
missed by the whole people. He
stood, we believe, the greatest states
man Of his day.

pays near $4,000 I think 1t pays too
much, and ! suggest that our mem
bers Of the Legislature consider this
report carefully, and If they find it
pays too much, let them readjust the
fees and moneys coming into this
office so that there will be no overage.
This will be money saved to the tax
payer and voter who pays these fees.
| am heartily In favor OF our Clerk
OF Court having ample pay for his
services-such pay as will always Sc
cure for us the services of a compe-
tent man-but not extravagant pay.

Should Remain Fee Office.

Richland, June z3.-Editors Keo-
wee Courier: In your issue OF u re-
cent date | noticed an article by
G. G.. Jaynes in regard to the salary
of the Clerks office in this county.
Mr.. Jaynes asks for an expression
on the subject from several citizens,
myself being among them. While |
know that good salaries generally
secure good men, If Mr.. Jaynes IS
correct as to this particular salary,
think 1t is too large and should be
reduced, by reducing the fees, to
about the figures he suggests. l
think this should remain q fee office.

NO AXE TO GRIND.

We have received number Of let
ters recently from citizens in various
parts of the county advocating GER
tain candidates and soliciting GER
tain men to run for various county
offices. TO those who have sent these
letters to The Courier we can ONLY
say that we cannot publish them. 1t
Is outside the province Of a newspa-
per, in local affairs, to advocate one
man or to disparage another The
candidates are well known to the
people OF the cOunty-in many in
stances better known, possibly, to
the people than to us. Therefore we
could not presume to advocate the
candidacy Of any man, nor can we
act to the contrary.
Our only advice to the voter is
this: Vote for the best men in the
race for each of the offices. Act In
this matter as you would in a pri-
Nate business transaction. The cleo
tion amo' nts to nothing more or less
than the employment Of men by the
body OF citizens to serve them. II
you We're seeking an employee for a
personal service, wi ON would you
seek? Ask yourself that question
and vote accordingly. Weigh ability,
competency, honesty, sobriety, just
as you would were you looking for
a man into whose hands you expected
to entrust your business affairs; vote
for the best man, as you conscience
dictates. The result will not be far
wrong, and the county's interests
your interests and ours-wil not
suffer.
Further than this We have no ad-
vice to give--no candidate to adyo-
cate, and none to fight.
We have no axe to grind, nor are
we grinding axes for others.

WEDNESDAY, JULY I, 1908.
FIRST CAMPAIGN MEETING.

The first meeting of the county
candidates will be held at Hunicuutt's
Bridge, next Saturday, July 4th. At
night OF the same date a meeting
has been arranged for Newry. The
candidates will doubtless be we'll re-
ceiVed by our people, and will all be
given respectful hearing. 1t Is
characteristic of the people Of this
county that fair play shall be dealt
to all In the game Of politics, and In
advance of the opening of the cam
paign and the firing Of the first
guns" we assure each and every one
Of the gentlemen aspiring for office
that he Will be cordially received and
respectfully heard at every meeting.
The candidates should, and we be-
lieve will, show equal consideration
for each other. There Is no reason
for mud-silnging, no justification for
it, and we hope that the campaign of
1908 will be absolutely free from it.
The campaign itinerary has been ar
ranged for the purpose of giving an
opportunity to all candidates to see
and meet the people of the whole
county, that they may have equal op-
portunity on the stump. The only
way for the campaign to be entirely
free from unpleasantness and mud
singing Is for each candidate to
steer clear Of personalities-and IL
this is done there will he no rup-
ture.
There is no room in a campaign
for personalties-they have no place
In the picture. The matter of politics
is entirely public, and the man who
injects personalities or private mat
ters into it proves himself unable to
rise to public sphere and unworthy
of the trust Of public position.
Let the 1908 campaign be con-
Quoted on high plane.
