D. Wither spoon arose and read a statement re- ^urding extra pay. He has fumiahed The Chronicle a ci^y of his statement with a request that it be ptdilisbed. U follows: Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of Housb: When 1 asked the people of my county tp support me as a candidate forvthe General Assembly of South Carolina, I knew at that'time that the compensation of all members was four huijidred ($400.00) dolUirs a session I knew that this annual pay of four hundred ($400.00) dollars was calcu late so that each member should re ceive ten dollars a day for fwty days, because the constitution says, bers of the^ (General AssemblY i»t receive any compensation for more than forty days of any one sesskn Article 111, Section 9, Paragraphil. I knew also, that the (^nstitatkm fur ther says: “No General Assembly shall have the power t^ increase the per diem of its own mpiiibers.” Article 3, Section 19, Claused. The Constitutipif is not intended to confute the p^<^le and should npt be a document/fbr hair splitting. It is in- tendent td be a clear chart for the fuidapde of the Legislature and the protertion of the people from hasty ac*Uon. I don’t care what any lawyer says, I can read the Constitution for my self and' I know that it forbids any extra pay, no matter what it is called. After I was elec^ by fulk confidence of the people of Laurens County and before entering upon my duties, I took the oath, “To preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of this State.” Therefore, in the faithful ob- strain of an extepded aestioh possib ly to much exteiA, unnecessarily pro tracted, I dacline/for my^lf, and. I re fuse to concur in the disbursement of public money unlawfully, i cannot but Migard this as an m^wful raid upon the funds of the taxpayers. I tbertfore refuse to accept aiijr such nooncy, re gardless of wbttt it may be called. For the protection of my good Mune and appealing for this as « nuAter of per sonal privilege, I ask that my be printed in the Journal. ' J. D. WITHERSl )N.
