GOVERNOR'S APPOINTEES Can Serve Only I'nill General Election Says Attorney General. Vacancies in elective county offices can be filled by the governor, but such appointees can serve only until the next general election at which the vacancies could be tilled, according to an opinion rendered today by Attor ney (Jeneral Thomas* II. County elective otll^eh prescribed in fbe civil code are county supervisors, county suiwrintendejit of education, clerk of court, sheriff and coroner. The opinion follows: "Answering your letter of the 1st inst. in reference to api>ointments by the governor to til' vacancies in an elective county" office, I beg to advise that section of the civil code of l!)lli prescribes what oflicers shall be elected in the various counties, name ly. the county sii|>crvisors. clerks of court, sheriffs and coroner. "Section 281 provides that when a vacancy occurs in any of these elec tive othves by reason of death or oth erwise. the governor has full power to appoint some suitable i>erson who shall be an elector of the county to hold the oflice until the next general election, when an election shall be held to til) tin* Unexpired term. "The latent case touching on such questions is that of State vs. Single ton. loo S. ('.. Km, involving the term of the governor's appointee to the of flee of circuit solicitor. It was there held that the office being elective un der the terms of the constitution the governor's appointee could only hold until the next general election at which the vacancy could be filled in accord ance with the provisions of the statute. The same principles apply to clerks of court and sheriffs."Friday's Columbia Record. Voxel's Minstrels at Opera House. John \V.
