As to Offices New Court House. Editor IIerald and Nes: .I notice in your editorial cohdntnus (ft Fridahiy tiat a jetition isben circulated t h:ave t he supervi r a - sign to the probate judge the room in the new court house originally plan ned for that office. As the auditor's office as it now stands was originally planned fur the oflice of probate I would like to say something in rega d to the chane. In the first place the commissin' )l invited each o(ieial to mdke ay su, gestion or recommendation as to the arrangement. etc., of their respective offices which were then not begun. My reeomnmendations were these: 1st. To have auditor's office as close as possible to that of county treasur er so that the business between these olicials could be conveniently at.ten. ed to. Any tax payer of Newberry county knows the close relationship of these two offices, and the great in convenience which would be occasion ed by the separation of same. 2nd. 1 asked for a vault ample to protect the public records. Now what did the commission first assign the auditor. The room first assigned was as far as possible from that of the treasurer, and with a vault entirely too small to accommodate the large books used in the auditor's work. The experts who made the estimates and drawing of the vault furniture, said they could not figure at all on the vault assigned the auditor, but that it was sufficiently large for the probate judge. The relative needs of the two offices as to outside office space was also commented on by them. I appeared before the different members of the commission and asked that they allow me to go on record as protesting against the location of the auditor's office, also the small of rice and vault space. - Having the assurance of the com mission that same would be looked into, I then dropped the matter. I 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 kiek is being made and what is the proposed reniedy. You say that tehe probate's records 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. How about the auditor's and treas urer 's offices being so widely separat ed? If the probate judge would move in to the new office don't you think the people would be in a better position to sign or refuse to sign the petition. Respectfully, W. W. (Cromer. Getting Back. Philadelphia Ledger. A company promoter who adver tised for an office boy received 100 replies. Out of the hundred he se lected ten, who were asked to call at the ofi:ice for- an inter'view. 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 plae~e. Did you bring a character?'' "No, sir,'' replied the boy, "but I can go home and get it.'' S"Very well, come back tomorrow morning with it, and if it is satisfac tory I dare say I shall engage you.'' Late that same afternoon the finan cier was surprised by the return of the candidate. "Well,'' he said cheerfully, "have you got your char ater?'' "No,'' answered the 'boy, "but I've got yours, and I ain't coming.'' A Loaded Woman. An elderly patient in the Tennes see mountain region was suffering from a malady the remedy for which the doctor prescribed in the form of cap'sules. The old woman trusted her medical adviser, but for the medicine she evinced much suspicion. Some time after she had taken the capsules she was asked by her son how she felt. "'Porelv.' "Don't you want nuhtin' to eat?'' Soon, however, the old woman arose from her bed and took her seat in a rocking chair. Thinking that the at tention would be gratefully received, the son filled her pipe and taking a live coal from the hearth carried both to his mother. "Take that away, son''' yelled the od woman in the utmost fright. ''Don 't you kno w het ter 'n to .comei i-a r me when I've et th em ea riYd ee in me'''--Mil :1 dlph ii Leeger.
