||je. ||craili and ||a?&. I i Entered at the Postoffice at New her/, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, August 15, 1916. WAS IT "EXTRA COMPENSATION T It is not our purpose to have any controversy with any one about the asylum or the appointment of Dr. Williams or about the great philanthropy of the governor in contributing out of his personal funds to the salary of Dr. -Williams. The Herald end News tries to be fair to all candidates and to give all of them a square deal. The editor will exercise his r*ght to cast his balot as to him seems t>est. That privilege we are willing to accord to every one else without any disagreement or argument. r?nr rpmllpotion of the statement of Mr. Cooper in regard to the salary matter was that it was illegal not . only for the governor to make an ef- ; fort to increase it but that it was also illegal for Dr. Williams to accept < 1 an increase beyond that fixed by law for the position. For that reason The Herald and News did venture to ask why Gov. Manning did not exhibit : the receipt from Dr. Williams for this irjprpflsp ir> salarw We suppose the governor had a right to make a gift to Dr. Wiliiams in the way of an increase in salary, if lh.e wanted to, out of his personal I funds; but did Dr. Williams have a legal right to accept it and could he do so without violating the penal code? That is the question we asked. Y?Te have known Dr. Williams for a good many years and we esteem him very highly as a man, and for that reason we did x^ot see how he could accept an amount greater as salary !; than that lixed by law. Our local cotemporary says: "Any citizen, governor or what not, has a right to supplement any officer's 5 salarv.-' r.Viell, we are not so sure j ' , ! ] about it, but we will not argue the; , Question. Please answer this ques-! i tion. Has the officer .1 right to accep- j an increase? .vow, beiore you answer, read the following section from the Criminal Code of 1S12: < "Sec. 539. Acceptance of Rebates ^ Prohibited?Punishment?Exception. "No person holding an office or position of trust or profit in this State, 1 or in the public institutions thereof, shall accept rebates or extra compensation, in addition to that provid/ ed by law. "Any person violating the provisions of this Section shall be fined in a sum not less than one hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or be imprisoned for not less than three months nor more than five years. "This Section shall not apply) to officers accepting rebates, not for tlieir individual use, but for the bene It and in behalf of the State. "Crim. Code. 1902, See. 3S2; Stat. 1899. XXIII. 96." Was that $250 a month contributed "by Gov. Manning "extra compensation.'' is the question to be answered and if it was could Dr. Williams accept it without violating the Criminal Cede?

Dear Sir: A short while ago Mr. H. M. Boozer obtained County's finances, i..nd in order that you migln formation from your office 1 showed you a cop} you were entitled to know about it notwithst< law, are open to public inspection. i ou have asked me to explain to you trie la 191 -i of certain extraordinary sums of mone} use of in 1915. It is a fact that commutation tax was collec $5,690.00, or' which $5,576.46 was paid out duri going to pay chaingarig cla .is; whereas, in lected was $1,944.00. or a difference in favor o Shoals Power Co.. paid the County $14,800.00 tc which might be caused by the ponding of wate lie road at Heller's creek. All of this money across the creek and in making the fill leadins 800.00, which was used for ordinary purposes i to Mr. Boozer when i gave him the statement that claims against County were p.?id January You have -asked me, if during 1914 some mu were not sold. and. if so, what they brought, tion is they brought between $700 and $800. will show the exact amount turned over to hii will also show Me exact balance paid the Trea: Power Co., deal. I am also asked if considerab from the County Home lands during 1914. Sue no record 3,s io the number of feet and have, of uny such lumber. You had no such extraordinary items of ire to be absolutely fair and just to you and yo;:r a at your request. 1 am making mention of these I hope rhe foregoing covers the inform- tion you witli any additional information th>.;t may o edge. August 2, 1916. Mr. Voter, you see from the above If reeh letter from Mr. HoUoway that Mr. H. I have Boozer had full information as to ; roads ; the deficiency of the funds for 1915,! roadvva and to be fair to me I think Mr. j T jia Boczcr should have given this infor- ; , 1 lie ie mation with, the fi cares ha h.iS been : . ~ - ; oerry j giving out. I can net ye- around to ' .... * ; viamg all of the voters beforp the election, is 1 j, why I am sending this out through j ^ the papers, if you hear any rumors ' of a hurtful nature in regard I , v ianu oy to the expenditure of the furds oi! .. _ not pr? Newberrv county 1 will consider it a ' . .. ; ' cient i favor if you will drill to see IMr. HolloIi ?rCBSS< way i;:nd ask him to show you the | coun*,. records. He will take pleasure in : ment j showing them to you and you will find j attorn that the rumor that was in rim: la- ' ~ - ; record! tion is untrue. I presume from the criticism of my i opponent in regard to the expendi- j tures of the funds of Newberry coun- j carne? ty. if he should succeed me the roads i ot and bridges will be neglected, as, Mr. j ; fin Voter, you know roads can't be work- j road a ed and bridges can't he built withoutj of as t the expenditure of the funds. I hlave j hands spent the money appropriated for this and th purpose and have no apologies to ! funds ; make, as I have cempliei with the ! are eis law.
