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. Governor Blease s<;id:
j "We hear and read much t'nes days
( of obedience to the constitution an i
laws of our state; also much as i.?
;jthe enforcement of the laws of our
1
* !
, siate.
j "It would s.em to me eminently
proper that these doctrines should bo
carried into effect as far as it is pes::
sible by all .of the officers and c.r
j zens of our state, beginning, howev r,
! at the top. It would seem to me tha* |
i those who are in power and authority
; should first, themselves, be obedient j
' and esdeavor to carry into effect ana
i
to uphold the constitution and laws of
jOur state, in order that a proper ex-:
v ample may be set to the others of
rull* * * *
VUi V4W*4iV**k/.
1
"Sitting in each of your bodies then
are those violating not only the spirit,
(but the wording of the constitution,
I in my opinion, by holding two offices
at one and the same time. * * *
>j '"Members of the boards of trustees
' of all our colleges, members of the
j board of control of th? state reformatory.
and members of all other state
jboads, in my opinion, are officers
. and wh?n members are sworn into our
I body who are on any of these boards
, in my opinion they should resign.** !
(| In a special message in 1914, he
iiflP'ain called attention to the matter
1 citing decision of the courts. concliW.
ing his message as follows:
"We hear a great deal of talk abou*
' 'lawlessness.' How can we expect tne
: unlearned to obey the laws when
j members cf the senate and house of
