B As to Offices Now Court House. Bk Editor Herald and Nowg; I notice iu your editorial columns H I( riday (lint a petition is being P circulated to have the supervisor asKj sign to tilie jwobate judge the room in w t'he new court house originally planK ned for that office. I As the auditor's office as it now m stands was originally planned for the W office of probate I world like to say B. something in regard to the change. I In the first place the commission 1 invited each official to make any sug? gestion or recommendation as to the T arrangement, etc., of their respective p offices which were then not begun. My recommendations were these: ,i' 1st. To have auditor's office as close ? as possible to that of county treasur) cr so that the business between these officials could be conveniently attondj ed to. Any tax payer of Newberry k county knows the close relationship of | these two offices, and the great inI convenience which would be occasion) ed by the separation of same. 2nd. T asked for a vault ample to i protect the public records. | Now what did the commission first assign the auditor. ' The room first assigned was as far as possible from (hat of tilie treasurer, and with a vault entirely too rmnll to accommodate the large books used in the auditor's work. The experts wilio made t/he estimates | and drawing of the vault furniture, said they could not figure at all 011 ( the vault assigned the auditor, but that it was sufficiently large for the probate judge. The relative needs of the t>wo office4 as to outside office space was also commented 011 by them. I appeared before the different members of the commission and asked that they allow me to go 011 record ns protesting against the location of the auditor's office, also the small ofriee and vault space. Having the assurance of the commission that same would be looked in>to, T then dropped the matter. 1 did not ask for the probate's office not for any other one, simply used some as comparisons. However the change has been made and I would like to know on what grounds this kick is being made ami what is the proposed remedy. "S ou say that the probate's record* are as important as those of the clerk of court. How about the auditor's? Would they be as secure outside of a vault as the probate's on the inside. Ilow about the auditor's and treasurer s offices being so widelv separated ? If the probate judge would move into the new office don't you think the people would be in a better position to sign or refuse to sign the petition. Respectfully, t W. W. Cromer. Getting Back, Philadelphia Ledger. A company promoter who adverL tised for an office boy received 100 ? replies. Out of the hundred he selected ten. who were asked to call k at the office for an interview. His final choice fell upon a bright .looking young chap. "My boy," said the promoter, "I like your appearance and your manner very much. I think you will do for the place. Did you bring a character?" "No, sir," replied the hoy, "but I i can go home and get it." "Very well, come back tomorrow | morning with it, and if it is satisfactory I dare say I shall engage you." Late that same afternoon the finanicier was surprised by the return of the candidate. "Well," he said cheerfully, "have you got your character?" "No," answered the boy, "but I've got yours, and T ain't coming." I ' A Loaded Woman. ;j5 elderly patient in the Tennessee mountain region was suffering f 1 oni a malady the remedy for which t'he doctor prescribed in the form of |H capsules. The old woman trusted her 'jfv ,r)odieal adviser, but for the medicine she evinced much suspicion. M Some time after she had taken the g capsules she was asked bv her son how she felt. m "Porely." M "Don't you want nuhtin' to eat?" P "No." ^ Soon, however, the old woman arose ll^from her bed and took her seat in a chair. Thinking that the at|||[tention would be gratefully received, srepthe son filled her pipe and taking a live coal from the hearth carried ffv'both to his mother. $ "Take that away, son!" yelled the lipoid woman in the utmost fright.
