THE MANNING TIMES Entered at the Postoflice at Manning as Second-Class Matter. Appelt & Shope, Proprietors. Published Every Wednesday Subscription Rates $2.00 per year in Advance MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1919. SUIPERVISOR KELLY PASSES THROUGH SMALL HELL Supervisor Kelly has a letter in another column directed to the editor of The Times, which he starts out by stating that we have made "mean little thrusts" at him for the past two years. Wonder if we are the only one that has made such remarks? We have never criticised Supervisor Kelly per sonally, and anything we might have written or said was from an official standpoint and no other. le is a public man holding a public position and should expect legitimate criticism. He says, we have never made a favor able comment; we presume he means about his road working system. We have never heard anyone else praise Clarendon's "Good Roads," so why should we ? A ride around the county is answer enough. He says, he is going to "hit back, with the sole purpose of getting better roads." If hitting back at us will get better roads, he has our permission to hit until he gets tired. lie admits that roads are bad and the bridges worse, still he don't like to be told about it. lie says it takes money to do things, and he gives the law as to how this money should be expended. We don't doubt his good intention in this matter, but would it not be far better to fix the bridges so as people could pass over them without endangering their lives, than to buy unnecessary road machinery? When Supervisor Kelly took charge of his cflice, did he not dispose of all the mules the county owned, and bought a tractor, which was absolutely worthless? In a very short time he had to abandon the tractor and buy a bunch of high price mules? This may have been good business, but it don't look so to us. He says when he went into office the county owed $40,000, and before he could pay these claims "he pass ed through a smai hell." 'T'hat may be true, but the people continue to pass the same way in trying to get over some of his roads and bridges. Maybe he thinks we should praise him for getting the county out of debt, we are proud of iitat, if wo had roads to travel on. It would be far better to go ten times that amount in debt and have something to show for it, than to be out of debt and nothing to give the taxpayers for their money. But before we go any farther let us compliment him once-he has a good road from Sum merton to Manning. We are thankful for that. Supervisor Kelly takes a final shot at us by intimating that we stung the county, after we had no opposition. Our bid was $75.00 for the county printing in 1917. Two years elapsed and we were again asked for a bid, this being a matter of form, as there was no other paper in the county. Every thing in the printing line had advanced from one to two hundred per cent, hence we asked for more money. At the same time we told Mr. Kellv that we would take the printing at the legal rates per inch, or by contract of $225.00. He must have thought the contract proposition was the cheapest as he accepted that. He says, "if the citizens of the county prefer your kind Of service to mine they are welcome to it, but they will have to say so, before I will believe it." There is a difference-The Manning Tims is privately owned-Supervisor Kelly, as long as he is in office, is publicly owned. He handles the peoples money and we handle our own. Now, we have never rharged Supervisor Kelly with fraud or misappropriation of the people's funds-we could not. The only criticism we ever made was about the con ditigin of the roads and bridges. They are bad, very bad, and he knows it. It is possible, brothers, that we may worry through this Christmas with a little hide left, provided Old Santa Claus doesn't get the profiteering bug, to)o. The senate, it seems, is living up to its reputation with regard to the league. It just can't agree to agree. PLUMBING NOTICE R. L.
