The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19.1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. APRIL 5, 1899. Cannot Collect for the Charts. If They Were Sold Upon Annual Instalments. The Opinion of Mr U X. Gunter Tmstppo fLtnnnf-, Tl^nprid Funds of One Year for Debts Previously Contracted. Assistant Attorney General U. X Gunter has filed an opinion in regard to the school law which may have great effect upon stopping the further purchase of charts, reads as follows: Dear Sir: In response to your first inquiry, ''May trustees of the public schools issue warrants for more than the amounts due them for the year in which such warrants are issued?" I deem it sufficient to refer you to Sec. 53 of the school law of 1890, which provides '-That all contracts which boards of trustees may make in excess of the funds apportioned to their district shall be void." And to Sec 521 of the revised stat utes of 1803. 4Tt bball be unlawful for any public officer, State or couDty, authorized by law to so contract, to enter into or so contract for any purpose whatsoever any sum in excess of the tax levied or the amount apportioned for the accomplishment of of such purpose.'* From these sections it seems clear that it is illegal for school authorities to issue warrants or contract debts ia excess .of the tax levied and the amount apportioned for tbeir respective districts, and that any such debt or contract is void. This q lestion, as I understand it, and the law cited as applicable thereto, has reftrence only to contracts to take effect during the year in which the contract was entered into, but which is in excess of the funds apportioned to the district. Your second question is, "Chaifc agents take warrants payable July 15th, 1899, while the school year closes June 30tb, 1899. The apportionment for school year '99-1900, being made in July, 1899, would such warrants be legal, and would the county superintendent of education be justifiable in approving the same?" This involves a different proposition, and resolves itself into this: can a board of trustees during the year issue a warrant payable ,next year, out of funds to be apportioned for their district for the next yeai? A board of trustees is an official Jbody, created by the general assembly, in pursuance of the constitu tion. Their powers, duties, compensation and term of office are fixed by the general assembly. No power not vested by that body can be exercised by the board. No such authority has been given the boards of trustees, either expressly or by implication. That the board has much power is evident, for Sec. 28 of the school law of 189o, among other things, provides, "The school fund of each school district shall be distributed and expended by the board of trustees, for the best interests of the school district, according to the judgment of the board of trustees, on their warrant, approved by the county superintendent of education." But this provision does not allow the funds appropriated and apportioned for this year to have been contracted for last year. Through the whole of the school law it appears as a manifest intention of the general assembly that the funds apportioned each year for each district should be paid out on warrants issued during that year, on tbat year's funds. The whole arrangement and theory of the school Jaw is that each year's work must stand for itself. The annual levy and"coITection of taxes, the basis of apportionment, the requirements cf the annual report cf the county superintendent of education, of all claims filed, audited aod allowed and ordered by him to be paid for each fiscal year, and the necessity for raising'sufficient funds each year to run the school for the fixed period, show that there must be no confounding of the school year, but that each must stand on its own bottom. To contend otherwise would be to say that a board in office for 1898 could, during that year, contract debts and issue warrants therefor, payable each succeeding year to the full extent of the apportionment, thereby absorbing the school funds for an unlimited period, and the operation of the school stopped altogether. In view of the fact that the legislature did not give the trustees the necessary authority, and for the rea sons above set forth, I am of the opinion that the warrants issued, as you state, are invalid and that the county superintendent of education would not be justified in approving them. For another reason I am convinced that the board of trustees, under the above statement of facts, ware acting illegally. Sec 527 of the revised statutes of I CHANGE OF CUM, WON'T CUR! The Slocum Sysl A Curative Medicinal Treat! Scientific Truths Than Air FREE TREATMENT FO If those of our readers who reside in o the most highly favored sections of this tl country, where the climate is healthy c< and invigorating, with a dry and tonic it atmosphere, will look about them, they f< will see a greater or less number of their fc friends and neighbors dying of coni sumption, while many others have h already been carried off by that dread a 1 malady. ir These deaths have occurred from time s* to time amid the refreshing prairie breezes of summer; in the fair and mel- " 1 low days of autumn, and also in the dry and sunny seasons of a southern winter. ?[Such deaths amid such favorable surroundings afford positive and convinc i V* ?4 rtl i ?* ? n rt A ?1T i 1 1 ? ' lug piwi Uiai aiuuc win i:ui cure consumption; that neither pir.eladen breezes nor bracing mountain air will restore weak lungs or build up a constitution that is be;ng undermined and broken down by the insidious germs of a fatal disease. But, on the other hand, many thousands of testimonials from grateful people all over this country, who have been cured by the Dr. Slocum System of Treatment, and are today in the enjoy- j ment of perfectly restored health and j fl strength, afford the most convincing fj evidence that this treatment, aided by ; | favorable climatic conditions and sur-1 1 roundings, is a positive cure for Con- j u sumption and all other chronic diseases I of the Throat, Chest and Lungs. Therefore, those who go to the mountains, the seashore or to southern climates, as well as those who already * reside in such favored localities, should , i not fail to take the Dr. Slocum System ; I of Treatment if they wish to derive the j I full benefits of favorable climatic condi- 1 tions and scientific medication. | The Dr. Slocum System of Treatment ^ (consisting of Four Preparations) is both medicine and food. The medicines used in it allay the cough and lung irritation, 1 heal the soreness and subdue the pains J in the throat, overcome shortness of ^ breath, improve the appetite and diges- < tion, and bring comfort, rest and re-! freshing sleep, while its food properties c? are building up the constitution, enrich-; ing the blood and infusing the sufferer with new life and vigor. No single remedy will accomplish all this, but the Four*Remedies embodied! in the Dr. Slocum System of Treatment p< will. More than a quarter of a century i T has been devoted to perfecting this P; System of Treatment; every indication, j yc every symptom in Consumption and j th other diseases of the Throat and Lungs, w I Vioc rAfnllir in tViP af 1893 says: 'Tt shall not be lawful for any State or county officer to issue any crtificate of indebtedness. This provision shall not apply to tickets of jurors or witnesses for at- g tendence on the circuit courts. Nor shall it be lawful for any State officer j to draw a warrant or check for any r public debt, except upon money that j, is actually to his credit on that ac- v count, in the hands of some bank or 0 public officer." e Now, if this paper, referred to a| a warrant, is a certificate of indebted- e ness within the purview of the above j ^ section, it is void, as it was unlaw- j e fully issued. The authorities (Ameri- j p can and English encyclopedia of law), j j give the following definitions: "A certificate is a statement in writing by a person having a public or offi- j cial statu?, concerning si me mat ! ter within his knowledge or authority, j Indebtedness is a pecuniary obliga- ' tion, which includes liabilities of s every sort, present and to accrue." * The warrant referred to.is certainly 0 I a statement of writing by a public i official, in reference to a pecuniary ; 0 obligation to accrue, which obliga- j 8 tion is necessarily within bis knowl- J f>r\cro Thin nnnlvsis Rfipms tn fihow ! 11 ^ ^ ^ A that the warrant contains every essential element, and is, in fact, a certificate of indebtedness. It is un- y lawful, therefore, when issued by a i 11 county official, which includes board ; of trustees and county superintend ent of education. This construction was evidently j taken by the law-makers who framed j this section, as it exempts jurors and t 1 witnesses' tickets, which are very : much in the nature of the warrant : c under discussion, from the operation j v of this section.
