| 1 he W ateree Messenger:
1 Ip the last issue of tho Wateree
Messen-cr, Mr. D. M. Kirkley fays
i he wants information as to the fee
I pa d T. J. Kirkland and W. B. De
Loach by the Board of Directors .for
L its haw county creating a Board of
for. He says "surely" the directors
l^i nol pay the fees to gu into of.
' c' ' 's correct in this surmise,
i as the Board of Directors were al
J't'at.y in odice, having organized
I wilder an Act of the Legi lature for
I Kershaw coun'v .crcV.ting a Boar of
Directors for the said County and un
j der wl\ eh Act they had been duly
appointed, said Act having: been pas
I sed by the Legislature in its session
in 1923. The Board of Directors, af
tor their organization, demanded the
office in the Court House of Kershaw
| C ounty which was biing occupied by
j the old Board of Commissioners and
. demanded the books, papers, record.-,
and documents relating to the county
(Government of Kershaw County.
I This demand, the Board of County
Comniis.- ioners refused. Thereafter
the Board of Directors obtained an
order from Chief Justice Kugene B.
Gary requiring the Old Board of i
Ccunty Commissioners to -how cause
before the State Supreme Court why j
! ecords of the office should not be'
. 1 \ red *.o the Board of Directors I
? ? i.eit- .aw ( 'un'.y ,nd the proJ j
-.u.ngs were t .lereai i* fi '.-il in the
1 :>vina! jui isticlion of the ..aid
?'-.it and by the said Court was
:-':;rdvupon the proceedings contmen-j
>i by tho Board and after the re- 1
u:-n of the old Board of County
, >>:nmi sioners, who contended amoiiK
.other things that the Act was un
?onstitut onal, void and of no effect.
All of the questions were argued be
fore the State Supreme Court and the I
?'o;1;'t ' unanimously decided that,
when the demand was made by the
Hoard of Directors as stated in the
petition, there should have been a
.onipliance therewith by the Old
..'.ill of County Commissioners."
i he Board of Directors did not bring
!ri.<; i rjceeding to try the title to the
If they had they would have
heen required to pay the fee out of
their own pocket) but the proceeding
was by the whole Board for the ben
efit of Ker-haw County as t]ie Board
of Directors could not enter upon the
discharge of their duty without the
t.fljce, books and records. From
wljat I have heard the Board of Di
rectors say, I do not believe that a
-ingle one of the Directors wanted
the ollice, but accepted the same as
a } ati iotic duty after they had been
ui ged to do so. This is one instance
in which , I think, the ofTice sought
the man and not the man the ollice.
The amount of the fee referred to
w as a reasonable fee for the services
performed. Neither Mr. Kirkland
nor 1 would have charged an unrea
onable fee and I have no apologies
to make to anyone for the amount I
charged for my services in the pro
ceeding-!. No one disputed the right
of tho members of the old Board of
f -unty Commissioners to contest the
right of the Board of Dirr.ctoos to tho
. ecords of the ofllce but having ro-,
lested that right, the Biard of Direc
tors as such were forced to appeal to
he Courts which they did and they
^ ere successful [ am' sure
D rectors to the records of the of
't.o but bavin:* contested that right,
ihe Board of 'Directors as such were
.'lived to onpeal to the Courts which
they did ?nd were successful. I am
-ure anyone can get a record of this
roceedir.g if they will apply to the
'T>rk of the State Supreme Court of
"O ith Carolina. I feel sure that if
anyone will study the reports of tho
Hoard (.f Directors for Kershaw
County they w, 11 see that no money
was wasted by them and that they
have economically administered their
office for the benefit of Kershaw
County.
Respectfully submitted,

NEW EDUCATIONAL BILL.
i State to Finance Schools Six Months.
1 ?Will Cost This County $6,800'
for Schools of Other Counties
Columbia, Feb. 21. ? Special: The
Senate toduy by a vote of 35 to 0
passed the bill from the committer
on education to provide for a
( months school term for every school
in the State. This is the bill whi6h
| I forecosted a week ago would have
considerable strength in the Senate
1 and probably would be substituted
j for the Bethea plan. But nobody
looked for such a landslide.
' Under the provisions of the bill it
? will require six million dollars for a
j smiicient appropriation to pay all
! teachers salories. The three mill con
| stitutional tax would be applied to
meeting the expense in each school
district and the remainder of the re
quired revenue 'is to be supplied by
the State.
Far From Ideal.
This bill is far from being ideal,
but so would any bill be that provid
ed for the State to assume support of
the educational system of the State.
Among the counties which pay for
the support of schools in other coun
tiesties will be the following:
Aiken, $16,400; Allendale, $4,600;
Barnwell, $6,300; Berkeley, $4,000;
Beaufort, $6,300; Calhoun, $4,00;
Charleston; $326,779" out of a total of
$557,623 collected7 Cher kee. $12,000;
? .ington, $11,000; Fairfield, 25,000;
Georgetown, $11,00; Greenwood, $26,
030,; Jasper, $K,000; Korsh .w, $6,800;
Lee, $5,500; Marlboro, $20,0007 New
berry, $5,000; Richland, $138,000;
Sumter, $13,000; Union, 3,000.
Benefiting Counties.
The beneficiary counties of this
plan are: Abbeville, $4,100; Ander
son, $17,000; Bamberg, $3,400;
Barnwell, $1,4007 Chesterfield, $54,
00.; Clarendon, 17,500; Colleton, $20,
000 Dillon, $3,600; Dorchester, $10,- ,
500; Florence, $71,000; Green villi.',
$52,500; Horry, 160,000; Lancaster,
$36,5007 .Laurens, $18,000; Lexing
ton, $43,000; McCormick, $3,000j
Oconee, $62,000; Orangcbug, $28,000;
Pickens, $43,500; Saluda, $33,000;
Spartanbug, $8,000; WiUiamsbiyrg,
$18,500.
Under the present ay stem Charles
ton's loss would be $306,007 Richland,
$105,000; Chester, $39,000; Aiken;
$49,000 and so on. In other words
the proposed new bill compares very
well with the present. The only
juestion to be Fettled when the bill
'.roes lo House is whether or not v.he
?
House can offer a befcicr plan as a
substitute. Charleston and Richland
will be paying half million dollars in
to the other counties of the State on
the present basis of calculation. That
is waht they are paying now.
William Banks
Enters Upon Prison Term.
K. S. Villepigue, who was convicted
in the last term of court for this
county of violation of the prohibi
tion law and given a straight sentence
of one year in the penitentiary, was
taken to Columbia last week and
placed in the prison to Berve his sent
ence. He appealed to the supreme
court, but his appeal was turned
down. He had been convicted upon
a similar charge on at leant two pre
vious occasions. The last time his
sentence was suspended as a result
largely of some friends who mnde an
appeal in court for him, after he had
entered a plea of guilty. Mr. Ville
pigue is now an old man, well passed
his three Fcore years and ten, and i*
in good financial circumstances. Hi
was in the confederate war.

Death of Mrs. Bell.
It was with sincere sorrow thut we
learned of the death of Mrs. Bell,
widow of Mr. It. H. Bell, of Westville,
which occurred Sunday night at the
home of her son Mr. R. L. Bell,, with
whom she had lived since the death
of her husband. Mrs. Bell was one
of the most estimable ladies of our
county and all who knew her recog
nized in her one of the noblest and
truest spirits that ever lived. A de
voted christian, a gentle and sympa
thetic friend, and neighbor, a patient
and good mother, she was held in the
highest esteem by all who knew her.
Mrs. Bell was about 75 years of age
und had spent her long and useful
Jife in the community in which she
died. Her husband died many year.*
hgo and left her with two children t ?>
rear--Mr. Luther Bell and Mrs. T. B.
Clyburn. She was a sister of Mr-. \Y
F. Russell, Sr., of our city, and is al
so survived by several other sisters j
and a large family connection, lh-r j
death comes to us as a personal los
for it was our privilege to visit her ]
many times in her home and well did J
we know the gcnr.inene:* ? of h?r friend j
hip for us. We shr.ll m". h.'r but ?

will be more of a nature of confer

A great good can develop from
these meetings if our friends in the
various communities would come out
The business men of Camden who will
accompany the speakers will not at
tempt in any way to dictate the form

LIBERTY HILL.
Mr. Editor ? The good weather
i which had prevailed for sever 1
] weeks gave place last week to so :
i eral days of rainy, disagreeable Wi -
1 ther, putting a stop to all plowing f ? r
i the week and causing the roads to l>e
muddy and bad to travel over, and '? .
is now rainy again, so it looks, as u
farm work is to be still further d
. layed. Some of our farmers a: >
j hauling their fertilizer and it won't
be long until the air will be filioj
with the aroma of the 8-3-3 cotto*i
producer ? if the bjll weevil permits.
Mr. Arthur Jordan has moved his
saw-mill from the Cedar Creek s?v
lien to lands of Maj. J. G. Richard;
about a mile east of the "Hill" where
he will probably be located for for'.:
time.
i I left on Friday of last week for a
week end trip to my son E. L. Clem
ents, in the Shiloh section. 1 w;n
' joined at Pleasant Plains, near Kcr
| shaw by my daughter, who made ti e
! trip with me. We spent Frid y
night very pleasantly with relative:
in Bishopville, and continued the trip
^ to Ed's on Saturday. We found them
well and pleasantly located about t>
miles out from Lunchburg. The two
littlt girls, Annie Belle and Lottie,
who made their home with us nearly
? two years, were glad to see "grandma"
ahd "sister" ? their aunt ? again. But
they seem to be happy and doing fine
with their new mama.
Since returning from Sumter your
"scribe" has been preity well oc u
pied nursing a painful and persistent
infected boil on his face. We are
glad that it is now better.
Several days ago our Postmaste"
was also interested (?) in caring for
a "battery" of small boils under his
arm. We hope they are better, too.
Hon. N. S. Richards is at home lo r

J. P. Richards, Lancaster county'-,

Hon. and Mrs. N. S. Richards, as diu
also their son, P. G. Richards, of
Charlotte, N. C.
Mr. L. A. Perry, who is now em

Mr. R. H. Hammond, who is now
employed in the auditing department
of theAnderson Motor Co., Rock ili.l
was invitin his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
