“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.

tions on the purchase were made by
any other members of the delegatmn.
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.
