During the.absence of the publisher
in attending the session of the
general assembly the business office of
the Times will be in charge of B. W.
Bradford. Much of the equipment
for the headquarters company of the
Third battalion, 8. C. N. Q., located in
Fort Mill, of which Arthur C. Lytic is
the commanding offloer, has been received.
The statement was recently
made by a militia officer that the value
of the entire equipment of the company
will approximate $45,000 The
Southern railway has arranged to test
thoroughly in the suburbs of Charlotte,
N. C., the latter part of the week the
concrete crosatle invented and patented
by Adam L. Crane of Fort Mill. Mr.
Crane a few days ago shipped 15 of the
ties to Charlotte for the test and these
will be placed in the main line of the
Southern where there is a maximum pf
traffic. If the ties withstand the strain
of the heavy trains which will pass
over then, the value of the invention
will be established and Mr. Crane is
expected to reap a fortune from it. The
tie is made of concrete with a number
of Iron rods extending lengthwise
through it and contains an inset block
of wood on which the rail rests, intended
as a cushion to absorb the jar of the
trains A. B. Withers of Jacksonville,
Fla., who spent the holidays in
Fort Mill with relatives, while here told
a number of his friends of his good
fortune in recently collecting a debt of
he had years ago given up hope of
ever getting. In the latter '80s Mr.
Withers was a machinist at the shops
of the old SC's railroad in Blacksburg.
One summer while he was working
there the railroad company failed to pay
off for several months and in the emergency
be loaned a fellow workman $25.
Times passed and Mr. Withers a number
of times wrote the man about the
.debt but could never get a hearing
from him. Some months ago he Was in
Columbia and learned that his old
friend had a fine position in that city
which was paying hLm several thousand
dollars annually. Then he wrote an
r other letter congratulating1 his friend on
the. good fortune which had come his
way and wound-up by reminding him
of the 33-ypar-old $25 debt. In a few
days he received & check for the $25.
The Jacksonville banker who cashed
the check for Mr- Withers said that
ths interest on the debt for the 33
years amounted to about $100 Mrs.

pcnsation certain Spartanburg county
officers are receiving in the form of
fees, for they are not paid fixed salaries.
... '.
According to thin authority,- Ihe
Spartanburg officers are paid as follow*:'
Master; 14 months, 16,027.81.
Register of mesne -conveyance, neurly
9 months, 88,122.13.
Judge of probate, 14 months, |6,452.49.
Clerk of court, nearly 8 months, 11,878.14.

In round figures, the monthly |?.y
received by these officers is as follovrs:
Master, 1367. Register
of mesne conveyance, fM7.
Judge of probate, 8460.
Clerk of court, 1172.
The clerk of court gets, in addition
to fees, a salary of 82,000 a year, so
that his average monthly salary Is
1888.
Of course, noipe of these officers
hire assistants and pay their wages
out of their own pockets.
On the othor hand some other officers
are manifestly underpaid, notes
the accountant, who cites the cases of
the auditor and treasurer. Each of
these officers gets a flat salary of 12,858.70
with no fees, and out of that
amount' must pay for part of their
clerical assistance. The average
monthly salary of the auditor and
treasurer is 1238.
The offices of auditor and treasurer
are of high Importance and responsibility,
yet the salary of each la much
lower ' than that of less important
county officers. The treasurer, who
handles the country's money, gets 1238
per month, while the register of mesne
conveyance, who simply records papers,
gets $987, per month. That's
wrong. There's no justice and equality
in that.
