MARCH 2fi “The Leathernecks Have Landed” A NEW DEVELOPMENT (The Laoirens Advertiser) Picking up a newspaper from an other county, we find a report on that county’s supply bill and in it an item for road machinery to be pur chased oi))y “on the approval of the senator and a majority of the mem bers of the bouse of representatives.” The phras^logy no doubt sounds familiar to Laurens county ears and to growing numbers of ears in other counties of the state. The..control of machinery purchasM by county dele gations is a comparatively recent de- vedopment in this state but seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. The reasons for it have never been ex- plsdpM. There can be but two assumptions for such control. One of them is that the delegations consider their super visors and boards of county commis sioners- incompetent to purchase ma chinery, or that-the delegations have- sonie favor^ to spread arOund. A charitable view of the matter would be to grant that the delegations haven’t faith in the ability of super visors and their associate road of ficials toJbuy road machinery. Should a skeptical public,, however, including aapiriny rAodidates, ijikc the other view and ascribe doubtful motives. the delegations would have nobody to blame but themselves.

Yet, if the senator had not been sick and the supervisor were not a man of known integrity, unpleasant ques tions migl^ very well have J[)een raised. Discontinuance of such strictures on county supervisors by County dete ctions would, we believe, remove much cause for criticism of legisla tors in the future.
