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.
