CAST BE ALDERMA> ASD SCOOL TRUSTEE 'Columbia, Aug. 28.?In an opinion rendered today, Assistant Attorney General Claude X. Sapp holds that it is against the fundamental law 01 the state for a man to retain the potrnctoA r?f a lf>Cril {MllVS.U. U1 3I.UV/U1 Vi ugtvv ? school district and also be alderman of a town, under the provisions o' the constitution prohibiting the holding of two offices of honor and profit \ at the same time. Yet in this state today, under a "law and orded administration," the governor, the senior United States senator, a member of congress, anoi i members of the general assembly, aro violating this same fundamental Taw ?and the violation goes unchecked. The opinion rendered by the attorney general's office today is in lin<with the opinions from that office and also decisions of the supreme courr during the past several years?in fac^, ?ver since the constitution of 1835. The members of the general assembly who are holding two offices are not only violating the section or tne conw stitation called attention to, but another section, which reads: "No person shall be eligible to a seat in the general assembly while h? liolds any office or position of profit or trust under this state, the Uniteu States of America, or any of them, or under any other power, except of Hces in the militia and notaries public, and ft arfv- member shall accepi x>r exercise any of the said disqualifying offices or positions he shall va. *cate his seat." f :Senator Alan Johnstone, of New ^herm. is a member of the boa?d oi trustees of Clemson college, and also president of the board, while he continues to represent Newberrv county in the state senate. United Staes Senator B. R. Tillman is a member of both the Clemson and the Winthrop college boards, x Hon. W. W. Bradley, of _\3>DeviIle 1s a member of the Clemson board slid also assistant state bank exami Tier. In addition to these two offices "he held the position of .private secretary to Congressman Alkea ap until the time Congressman Dominiok suet needed Mr. Aiken. I Hon. Richard I. Manning, governor, nt fhm Sfw?rd trustees p r.-> aiviwwvi ?iv ? of Clemeoa. Congressman A. Praak Lcrer is one of the Clemson trustees. Bon. J. J. Erans. a laember -of tti? senate from Marlboro county, is a member of the Clemson board and wae elected a member of the board while "he was a member of the general as-sAmhlr. And yet the trustee of a local school district in Anderson county is prohibited from also holding the office ot alderman of a town in his district There is little wonder that the peo pie of South Carolina are asking, 1? the law made to be enforced onl? against the masses and can those higi in authority disregard the constJtu \ tioBi with impunity? - The opinion by Assistant Attorney ^General Sapp referred to in the Anderson case is as follows: "Columbia, Aug. 28, 1917. "Mr, J. B. Felton, County Superintend nf Education. Anderson, S. C "Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of the 24th inst., in which you -state that a school trustee in Anderson county has been elected alderman of a town situate in the district ol which he is trustee and you ask to be advised whether or not he couia "hold the office of trustee and alderman -at one and the same time, and further, if in case h,e could not hold, th<? two offices, whether or not acts of the "board of trustees while he was a member thereof, would be legal. "In reply thereto I beg to advise that the office of trustee and that o! alderman of a municipality are t?n offices in contemplation of Section l Article II, of the constitution of 1895, the aoceptancy by the trustee ?n question of the office of aldermaa would waive, his right to hold the of fice of school trustee. Acts performed fey him as trustee of the school district, however, would act necessarily lye illegal until an action was brought in the courts to vacate the office, since the acts would at least he defects. "Yours truly, Claud N. Sapp, "Assistant Attroney Genera^. It is no fault of the attorney gen, oral's office that a condition has arleI en where high officials are allowed to ^ disregard the law, while the section ol . the constitution in reality affects on?y W those holding minor position. The - ? nnrTar fnnan P>r J "atw>rire> o vmw ? administrations, has beea consistent in its rulings along this line, and sc "has tve surreme court. TIio matter was called fo tVe attention of the legislature by Oov^-nor TSIease in several messages, '"but noth ing was done. On several ^ casioiis investigations were ordered, but thev amounted to nothing. In a special C2Z | 1911. during the first year of his ad ministration.
