Following is t.he letter from -May or Blease to Secretary Hardeman traismittiig the appointments: Newberr:. S. C., Jan. 3, 1910. Mr. Walter H. Hardemanu. Secre tary JBoard of Health. Town of New berry, Newberry, S. C.-Sir:-I- beg leave to call .to your attention and through you to the attention of the Board of Health the fact tht ' the Constitution of the State of South Carolina, Section. 2. Article 2. pro vides: 'No persi)i- shall hold two oftices of profit or honor at the same time." And I also call your attention to See:ion 1097. Vol. 1. Code of Laws of South Carolina. which provides: "The members shall serve with out compeusation. 7 Also t4 Section 1098: "The members of the Board shall severally take the oath prescribed 'for Town and City officers, and shall anaually organize by the 8e* lection of one of their number as preside.t. They shal.1 elect a -sec retary, irho sha'll keep the minites of t'heir proceedings, and perform such other duties as may be pr& s|ribed by the Board." Thus you wilil see that the General Asembly cereated .thofBi* of mriem er sof 'the Board of Healthand.theof flee. of seeretary of the .Board" of Healkh preisdribing Ihat member shall re'eive .no compensation, and that the secretary shall receive 'isuch salary as may be fixed by the Board, ratified by Counoil.'' The Board of HiealWh, by special res)oltion, als.o .e&ted t.he office of secretary, and the Town Coneil of the Town of Newberry passed an Ordinance rat ifying the action of thes Board, thereby creating the office of seore tary of your board at a salary .of ten dollars per month. Therefore no one can hoid the position of mem ber of the Board of Health and see retary of t.he Board at one and the same time. And -when one acecepts the position of secretary when he is amember of the Board he thereby faeates his position as member. In accorda.nce with .iformp,io' furnished me by you, in' reply tbo my equest therefor I have this day ap pointed. Walter H. Herdeman as member of the Board to succeed him self for the term erading Deeembei 15. 1910. and H. W. Dominick foi the term ending December 14-, '1912 to succeed W. H. Lominack, resisn ed, and Campbell L. Havird for thi term of five years ending Decembei 4th, 1914, to succeed Dr. James K Gilder, whose term expired Decem ber. 1909. As to the other members of yonu Board, I hope t.hat they have beer properly commissioned and have ta ken the oatli of office as required b: the laws of this State, and that th< gentlemen this day commissioned b: me will accept 'said positions am duly qualiLy, and that all of youl actions may be harmonious, and. tha your Board and the members of th: City Council will all join togethe: and work in soneert to the best~ terests of all the people of our city Very respectfully, Cole.
