AS TO SUPERVISOR SCHUMPERT.
Bachman Chapel Correspondent StIll MaIn
tains There Has Been a Reckless
Expenditure of County Money.
Slighs, November 26.--Mr. Ed.
itor, I thank you for your criticism.
We never object to honest criticism,
and wvhenever a man, espccially a
p)ublic servai't, becomes too tender
to be criticised, it is time to lay
that fellow down to rest. But, NI r.
lEditor, vou repeatedly said that we
should he fair and just. That is
exact ly what I am contending for,
anid hand it niot been for the sake of
fairness and jutstic, I would not
have said what I did. WVe are to
gether in this particular. The onily
diference is, you are contending
for justice in behalf of Mr. Schum
pert, and I am contending for jus
tice in behalf of the tax payers. I
believe in being fair and jutst and,
above all th ings, mn being consistent
What I said about Supervisor
Schumpert was altogether based
upon the presentment of the grand
jury. I supplosed and still sup.
poseC that these gentlemen knew
what they were talking ab)out; but
as the courts have the matter in
.hand now, I shall not go into fur
ther detail. But let us see if there
is so inutch inij ustice in what I said.
As the editor would have' it ap
pear, myI assertion was that there
has been a reckless exp)end(itulre of
the pulic funds of the county, and
I think the editor has shown this~
even1 more plainily thant I did. I
thank you, Mr. Editor, for your
dlesiredl in formation. You hiave
shown us clearly where $ 2,ooo of
our motney has gone. You say
that we have a steel bridge in the(
lower part of the county. Leaving~
nout of cnsidrartion a few merchants
please tell us how much good this
will be to the taxpayers of New
berry county. Then you say we
have good roads machinery. At
the speed it is running now please
tell us about how many miles of
good roads it will build within the
next ten years. Oh, bot you say
we have sewerage in the jail and
courthause! But is it not a fact
that this stan s locked up from the
general public?
Now, bear in mind, the editor has
accused me of being unjust in my
criticism. If I don't prove that I
have been truthful, according to
the editor's own statement, I am
willing to throw up my hand and
cry out guilty. You acknowledged,
Mr. Editor, that so large a contract
as putting in the sewerage should
not have been let without first ad
vertising for competitive bids. Then
certainly you must say that this is
a reckless way of doing business.
Is it not ? I have been informed by
several citizens of your town that
the work could have been done at a
saving of several hundred dollars to
the county had the contract been let
to the lowest respi)onsible bidder. You
agree that it was a waste of money
to put sewerage in the basement of
the court hou-e. Thei, according
to your own statement, this was a
reckless expenditure. Just what I
said had beein (loie l you say
it was proper to have the scwerage
put in the upstairs to the Conit
house. Have you forgot that a
little more than a year ago you
were among the strongest advocates
of tearing down the old courthouse
and building a new one at some
more suitable place, leaving this
whole public square for the bene
fit of the country people ? We were
heartily in favor of this plan, Mr.
Editor, and voted with you for a
new court house. Now we liope
that you have not changed your
opinion in this respect, and if you
have not, it certainly was a waste
of money to have any improvement
dut on the old building whatever.
You can then ce that while I
enieve in fairnes- an.-d justice that
I also believe in consistency. Yes.
there are nany other things that I
shall refrain from mentioning.
So, Mr. Editor, let us never be
come too tender to bear honest criti
cism, and always remember to crit.
cise where criticism is due.
And never forget to be consistent.
