The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1915-03-12

and / had no desire or intention of
having any falling out or feeling
| about the matter, could not do any
more than l did to prevent this
clerkship from being created. And if
1T will save money or gain efficiency
for the county, still do not oppose
it, but confess that still do not see
how it can, any more than l did
when l left it off the Supply Bill,
rs | thought at the time, with the
consent of my colleague, Mr.. Walker,
| though l will say that he was inclined
then, as he afterwards asked the
Senator to include the item.
l still believe that this money
l still believe that this money could
to the benefit of Union county, to let
the Board of Township Commission
ers, and the delegation with the Su-
pervisor agree on one or two days
per week for the Supervisor to spend
in his office, which will give him
ample time to do the office work re-
quired of him. Advertise this day
or these days, so that all the people
may know what day or days the Of
flee is open, then invest a part of
this six hundred dollars, in a Ford
Automobile, and let the Supervisor
spend such other days of the week
as are at his disposal in covering
every road in Union county, advise
| and consult with each township
Commissioner, and let them as often
as possible, go into each others
townships and see and know what
is being done, how it is being done
and the results that are being gotten
in each township.
The machine could further be used
in conveying prisoners to the gang
in visiting the county institutions,
and contract work wherever same
may be going on.
In other words, felt called on
to make it plain that l did not desire
to create the clerkship, and left it
out of the Supply Bill when l drew
it, not because l did not want efp-
cheney, not because | did not want {
help the Supervisor in every way
possible, not because of any misun-
derstanding or feeling between Mr..
Walker or Senator Hughes or my
self, but simply because after going
into the matter, it appeared to me
just as stated above, and L would be
glad if every citizen of the county
would get the Acts of the regular
session of 1914, look on pages 63S-
639 and 640, Act No. 372, and see if
am not correct. Further, will say
that l furnished the copy of the Bill
to The Union Times, that all the
people of Union county might see
and know just how and where tn.
money of the county was appropri-
ated to go and what it takes to run
your county and why. I also fur
nished the same bill at the same
time to the Treasurer upon request,
and I think to the Supervisor and
one or two more, and would have
gladly sent it to any citizen of Union
county who requested it. /, of course,
had nothing to do with the manner
in which the paper set the Bill up
for publication, and of course did
not know that they were going To
set it up before the Senator amended
the bill or that he was going to
amend the bill at all. But since
they had set the type ready to print
and he did not amend the bill with
Mr.. Walkers consent, which certain
ly as he says, made a majority OF
the delegation, there was no way
so far as l know to give the changes
except to add them to bill as already
set up, and this was what was done
Yours truly.
