The many changes of law reladnc to CoUetoo County, are wonderful, and what will be the wonderful results, are yet to come. Tho eotaoliobment of so many new officers, with fairly good mlaries, the reducing of salary of some very important offices and the sale of the Poor Farm. No doubt but the honored representa tives have acted in good faith, but I fear that they have labored under mistaken ideas. The establishing of a Road Com- misuon in order to get the office for that kind of work out of politics, is all bosh. Candidates, for legislative honors can promise appointment for road commissioner, and get votes, just as candidates for Supervisor or County Commissioner can promise jobs to get votes. We have plenty of offices and officers, and none of them over worked. They have plenty of time to do the duties of each office, and if thqp fail to comply with the requirements of law, as officers of the county, then they should be dealt with according to law. Why not the board appoint, and commission road overseers and contract road work with as much honesty of purpose and good busin< judgment as a road commission? Will there be any more resources for the road commission than could be given the county board of com miarioners. Can the road commis sioners exercise any better judgment in a new office than they could in the office of Supervisor, or county commissioner! 1 fear not. 1 believe in good salaries, an officer should have money enough to war rant him a living. If the office re quires nil of his time, then we can expect good service, but in my mind the more little pettit offices we have the more rot we must expect in our politics. I cannot ace the policy in having the township e jual- izing boards to take returns when the auditor can take them, and will better understand bis own work than the work of so many different per sons. So far as getting more prop erty on the tax hoooks by said boards, that's all bosh. These boards handle the returns taken by the auditor and are required to raise the assessment if the taxpayer fails to return his property. So where can there be any gain, but on the other hand there will be $T>00.00 of $600.00 more taken from the tax payers for no better service. How can it be any better? 1 am in favor of the township equalizing board under the old law. This board could canvas the returns of their respect ive township in a day, and do as valued service as if they should take the returns. Then the sale of the poor farm. 1 think that, a mistake. What we need is to improve that farm and give the superintendent more to do. Other counties are making their poor farm a perfect success, and Colleton can do so with the right kind of management There may have been some mistakes made .in the management of said farm, but who is it that han’t made mistakes and have improved by the mistakes mads? Of course, soma may not improve, but moot of men have im proved. I hnvn't thought that the poor fartn wan, or has been any great pull hack to Colleton County. The grand jury has matte very favor able reports about the Institution, and I think it a credit to the county —the ptovidiag of a boose for the poor homeless and helpless of our county. What is to become** of the poor people that have no friends or kinfolks to help to take care of them? To open the county commiasiooer's office to pauper claims, has been tried and failed to satisfy because we have too many poor people when you do that. Many a poor person will find some way to live, rather than go to the poor house, but if you open the supervisor’s office they will starve to death, if the county don’t feed them. 1 say don’t sell the farm. Reclaim that old field that’s laying out, put a good wire fence around it, sow down in the fall in oats, and follow with peas in the «- rammer, and rabs feed to feed the county mules. Why can't the county board plan for the running of that farm as they plan to run their own farms if are will let them do it. Of course they have no right to go any further than the law pro vides for them no go, but provision should bo made for tbelreprovement of this farm. The aua that buys it will improve it and makeftaaoceese, why not the county dp it? v If it requires so mod) office to. vend the little bit of money we have, what would it take if we bad plenty of money, and when will we have better roada.
