AS TO COUNTY FINANCES.
The Herald and News has re
frained from making any commer
on the financial condition of th
county. The presentment of th
grand jury and the statement c
Supervisor Schumpert were printed
We believe, however, in giving jul
tice to every one and showing pai
tiality to none. The editor of thi
paper told the pople in the caur
-paign of 1)02 that there was n
chance for a redtzztion oi taxatio
and endeavored t..o show why ther
was not.
Now T. J. W. gets after th
supervisor and says its a great pit
the financial ,-nditicu of the count
is what it is and sa- the pec
pie do not object to paying out thei
money when they can see where i
has been wisely spent. To both c
these propositions we readily assent
But let us be just. It is our opinio
that it was a waste of public mjone
to put sewerage in the basement o
the court house, btut it was prope
to have the sewerage put in th
jail anc the rooms up stairs to th
court house. The grand jury get
after the supervisor for this expetn
diture. It may be too large for th
work that was done and certainli
so large a contract should not hav
been let without first advertisin
for competitive bids. But, is it no
a fact that the grand jury at pre
vious terms of court recomniende
this work to be done? We say le
us be just inl our criticisms.
The last legislature provide<
i o,o0o for past indebtediess and
special tax was levied to me(
this. That leaves the (ebt $12,000
Now what is this for and what i
there to show for it? There is thi
steel bridge in the lower part of th
county which was an expeiditur<
which will benefit the people of ti
county. Then there is the goo
roads machiiery which if properl
handled will not he a waste o
money but a profitable investment
Then there is something to shov
for it.
We do not pretend in this artick
to he accurate and neither are w<
defendiig Supervisor Schumpert
but we do believe in being fair anc
jtust. 'There is something to show
for this debt. Whether theexpen
diture was wise or not may be
largely a matter of opinion. Th<
Herald and News thinks it was
wise to build the steel bridge men
tioned. We do not think that w<
were just in a position to buy goot
roads machinery because we hat
not p)rovided the mieans to operat<
it, andl yet if properly used it is
good investment. We think w<
went at it a little too strong in th<
matter of sewerage, and certainb
competitive bids should have beei
asked for.
As to the other charges agains
Supervisor Schunmpert, we have n<
knowledge upon which to base ai
opinion.
We would not have said anythin)
but for the criticism of T. J. W
But let us be fair and just and givi
to every one the same conisidleratiot
we would expect for ourselves.
THlE CI[AR~LESTON SITUATION.
The board of (directors of the dis
pensary have taken a proper course
under the circumstances, in with
holding the share of the d ispensar;
p)rofits accruing to the city of Char
leston and applying this money t
the enforcement of the law ini tha
city. A nid this same course shoul
be pursued with any other city o
townt where there are will ful viola
tionis of the law, upheld by publi

law and inaction.of the local author
ities, but that * * * the offending
locality should pay the expense in
curred, ahd that this burden should
not fall upon other sections of the
State where the law is enforced and
t obeyed, and where the local au
thorities give their assistance and 1
e moral support in the enforcement of
the law.
The law has never been enforced
in Charleston, and it never will be
enforced there until public senti
ment demands its enforcement and
the municipal a uthorities give their
efforts in that direction. The gov
ernor, bound by his oath, must seek
the enforcement of the law :n all
parts of the State, and under the
conditions prevailing in Charleston
the attempts which must be made,
even though they prove futile,
mean the expenditure of a large
r sum of money. It most certainly
would not be just to let the school
fund suffer the lossof thisextra ex
penditure when it is made neces
sary by the inaction and, it some
times seems, the opposition of the
local authorities. As the board
r says, it would be unfair to those
communities which uphold the law,
many of them not approving it but
upholding it because law should be
upheld. There were only two
courses left. Either the governor
must abandon his attempt to enforce
the law in Charleston, or Charles
ton's share of the profits must be
taken and applied to the enforce
t
ment ol the law in Charleston. The
State board, very properly we think,
t chose the latter course. The board,
however, in order that Charlestoi
might not be done an injustice,
made its action only), temporary,
t requesting the Charleston city and
county authorities to appear before
the board on the 2n1d of Decelber
to show cause why tlie action should,
not be made permanent.
