C., MONDAY, DEC. ?20. -For One Day Only So come carly that you may not be disappointed in Retting a chance to see him. Tell your friends, Concerning What Ho .Considers l's?U' less Expenses for County. . Editor Ke'owee Courier: For the first time In my lifo I ail', asking for a little space in your paporl in which to make a fow remarks on certain conditions as 1 see them to-> day. ! ?cffl Now, 1 have no desire to creal?v any controversy with any one, hut' will simply bring out some facts as they exist to-day. 1 noticed in your last edition thaU our new delegation who will repre sent us in Columbia have sot a day -which ls next Saturd?y, Dec. I8r-' to meet with the people of,, the county to discuss legislativo matters, and it seems to me that the people at large should be present. As to my views, there are. a few items of vital importance to us as tax-payers: First-'Why should we have some one to go .to a few places' in our county-ev?n though they should go to every section-to teach folks to can fruits and 'Vegetables, and for this service receiving' a sal ary of $1,080.00 per year? Are wo, to pay some one to take this import ant matter from the mothers of our county, who hayo canned fruits and j all the other things that cpuld be j canned for years, and know how to ' do lt by actual experience? And a lot of them never even heard of a I demonstration agent. 1 am In favor of the girls learning 'to can and sew and do domestic work, but let them learn nt homo under our mothers. We could thereby rid ourselves of this $1,080.00 per year laxes, or put it on our roads. Before leaving this item 1 want to refer to my own mothar, who is now 7 2, and who has! various kinds of canned goods throe' yours old, and never saw a demore; stratton nor attended school ono day In her life. Next is the man whom, I am In formed, gets $2,500.00 per year :to go over the county to make parents send their chlldron to school. Ho*fy,' I am as much in favor, of educatlo: as any man in Oconee county why have the tax-payers'oglyij :s.cvj '?'sclfd'oT^lfe^^e ' ?imJng^th'?if mon ns trustees, who could easily look after this? No man who is a man, who has been selected by his community to serve as a* trustee would fail to seo after this in the right way. By doing this, and letting the truant officer go, wo could rid our county of this extra expense. And the third and last Item which I shall mention just here is our county agent, whom I have never seen around In my part of the coun ty. Tie may bo doing a good work, but T hnvo not been able io hear of it if he is, and I do not know what salary he draws, but am satisfied it ls moro even than our sheriff gets, who puts himself up as a target, not knowing what time his life will be taken, lt is a shame that these men draw more for their easy jobs and nre not exposed to bad weather and have absolutely no risk of lifo, and yet receive larger salaries than our sheriff. I am not in favor of increased sal aries, but 1 do think lt best to abol ish some of these needless expenses and pay our sheriff moro. Take into consideration every county In tho State. Each has what I call three useless offices, and at an estimated salary of $5,380.00 for tho three In each county, and figure this for the forty-six counties. The en tire amount is $250,000 each year, and there are other things which go to make taxes higher, and which I believe could be adjusted. Why not have the people como out and In struct our delegation as to the wishes of the people, and see if a lot of those things cannot bo adjusted? These aro trying times Just now, and I believe In cutting out as much expense ns possible, especially until times aro better, or wo will be like the man who was in an accident. Af ter being put on the operating table, the doctors made their examination fully, and to console tho patient they told him he "would be all right. You will get well. We aro going to take off this leg here and this arm hero, and wo will remove one of your oyos. But you will get well." Tho poor follow was game, but. hp looked up and smiled as he said to the doctors, "It's consoling to hear you say that I'll get well, Doctor. But, Doctor, what a h- of a fix I'll bo in when 1 do get well!" So if wo do not curtnil some of thc extra expenses that aro on us, we may be like tho patient: We may pull through, but what a h- of a fix we'll be in. Now, if lt can bo properly proved whore these few Items are getting us value received, I will apologize and hold my poaco. H. M. Sanders. Walhalla, Ht. 1, Dec. 13. Oconee Ohm lugs 17,757 to Dec. I.
