T*ge No. 6 PRINCE STATES THIS HIS LAST Dear Editor: In this, my last reply to Senator Smith, 1 wish to state that I am pi ad that he has decided to quit and if he will stick to his word this wiP end it. The more I try to compliment him the harder lie thrusts his vile epithets atrainst me. The Bible teaches me not to cast pearls before swine. The truth is the Servitor thought he could just wallop Mr. Carter and f through the press and that neither of us had sense enough to defend ourselves. In his replies he has shown that he possessed more temper than brains. He compares Mr. Carter and 1 to Jonathan and David, whose hearts were closely knit together. I accept this comparison by the Senator. They "were both Godly men and the Lord shielded them against the cruel hand of King Saul. The Senator reminds me very much of Saul, who tried to take the life of his own son, Jonathan, by throwing a javelin at him at the dinner table. He searched every cliff and cave with his soldiers to take the life of David. "Uncle Jerry" has put forth every effort of his to take the political life of both Carter and myself. Saul was a great fighter, but no more so than "Uncle Jerry. Saul was a disobedient king. "When Samuel told him to destroy ali of the herds, men, and even the King of the Amalekites, he refused to do it. He spared both the life of the king and the best of the flocks. For this he was rejected by Jehovah. When the voters at a meeting last year, both at Conway and Loris, asked us not to let the Senator pass his new road law, he replied: "I am Senator (the king), and will do as I please, regardless of the voice of the people (Samuel.) Again, when the <-1 ^ ? n n /I ? / ] ^ K rv %-* 1 /-* ??, 11 Anf ^ I illiu JUI V, ?l> UIVI 111C pci^ic? I Kjv|injr*i ed us to put back the township supervisors, he replied in action and said: "Ye fools, why strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. I am Senator and will not obey." So he killed the I ill? laid it to rest. He states that T ti led to create a new office. Let's see: "When he abolished the township supervisor on a salary of $1,100, and created a new office (road supervisor) at a salary of $2,400, an increase of $1,300, who has created any new office? He first stated that I raised the salary of the magistrates 1n Little River township, then he says that it was in Simpson Creek township; next time lie will have it over in Gallivants Ferry township. The delegation before us did it and we have each year appropriated $100 for office rent for Magistrate Chestnut. Mr. Carter and I put this item in our supply bill. The Senator laid it to rest. I wonder if he takes the word "rent for salary." The Senator provided in his new road law for a supervisor at $2,400; also that he must | make a ten thousand dollar bond. He changed the days from (> to !), or pay $3.00. yet ho denies this and states that this is as black as anything T ever told. He says we made it six days or $fi.00. He is again absentminded. Mr. Ford and I did it in a free conference against his wishes. fpl ! ^ 1- _ 1.'1 1 a k 1 art a/\ jl iiijs yeur ne sun wanted nis $a,uu. That is, the man who did not have the money would have to dig stlimps or ditch for 10 long hours for 50 cents. 1 laid It to rest for him. The Home Demonstration Agent was netting $1,200. The Senator raised it two years ago to $1,300. This year Mr. Carter anu - .^et the lady at the Jefferson hotel one night. We promised her $1,200 for this year. She accepted and signed the contract We put this item into our supply hill and told "Uncle .Terry" about it. He changed it hack to $1,300, and J'ent it to free conference, where we beat him to it. The truth is our supply bill came back to the House from the Senate with ten, or a dozen amendments to it. Jt was finally settle:! in free con ference. This is our record as to the Pee Dee bridge: We all went to Georgetown to discuss this matter with the chamber of commerce. The Senator stated there that "he would have to sleep or it a while;" that he wanted the _pcopie to vote on big bond issues. Mr Ford and 1 spoke, hut none of us committed ourselves. Later, while in Col umbia, the Senator said: "I have i telegram from some of my friends ii Conway, asking us to have a join meeting with citizens of Conway am Georgetown. At this meeting, afte somf discussion, pro and con, th< Senator agreed to introduce the bil in tho Senate without submitting it t< the people. I was called upon for ai expression, and replied that mv col league (Mr. Ford) had been absen for the d.ay and that I could not a* suine that responsibility in the Houst When the bill came over to the Hons 1 had it submitted to the people. Th Senator denies boing led around l> his enemies, or even "by men of m caliber." Then he must have bee to the mourner's bench somewhere a tor we left Georgetown and got good dose of some kind of now rolij ion that led him off from his old hoi by (Democracy). If I had agreed with the Senat< you taxpayers would today he und< a $107,500 bond issue. I provide enough money in our supply hill take care of our school building prop sition for this ye.^r. I desire to call to the attention < the Senator the passage of only afe State-wide measures which elfec very much our record. I said tl Senate wanted high taxes and th takes exception to this statement, did not mean it for the senator alon the House wouldn't stand for it. I Still the old adage, "A hit dog w howl." This last year the House pas ed the appropriation bill at abo $7,000,000. The Senate raised it around $8,500,000. The House refu ed to accept this one and a half million dollar raise; also the Governor said that he would veto the bill with this increase. 1 fail to find any record where the Senator raised his voice in protest against this increase. I voted against the $10,000 for the wol men's building at the University. Every lawyer except one young fellow voted for it. The Senate put in to this bill a $15,000 item for Senator Todd, of Charleston, for an old model of the St.'ite house. 1 signed a petition with forty-four other members, requesting1 the Governor to veto this ; item, which he did. The Senator did not vote against, this item. The House passed one cent additional tax on gasoline to be used in maintaining roads regardless of county lines; The Senator was in the act of passing this , bill changing the revenue fi;om being used on the roads and having it placed in the State treasury. I went to the Senate just in .time to help save the bill by asking two Senators to help Senator Williams, of Florence, to fight for the bill as was passed by the House. Senator Smith had gone Sime. This bill alone saved the taxpayers of Horry $4,000. for we had already placed this item in our supply bill, but later eliminated it. T voted to change the tuition for high school pupils outside the district from $3.00 to $0.00 per month. That is. sach high school can draw $81.00 for each pupil for the term of iiine nonths. Also 1 voted for a bill making it easier for any school voting a four-mill levy to secure State aid. I did my part in killing a bill by Mr. Rellnmv of Beaufort, to close all ar tesian wells except when in u^e. 1 voted and fought against another bill by Mr. Bellamy to prohibit anyone going disguised (hitting at the Klansmen.) One other bad bill for the schools of Horry passed the Senate. That was to repeal the seven-months' guarantee act in our school law and to give to the counties at least 50 per cent of the amount paid by the county. I heard the author of this hill say on the floor of the Senate that he prayed to see the day when each county would have to educate its own children and build its own roads. "Uncle Jerry" voted for this bill. Mr. Bryson, of Greenville, Mr. L"). L. Smith, of Walterboro and myself led the fight against this bill in the House. Bellamy, Horton, Hannahan, Nash, McDuftie and Dobbs led the fight against us. We killed the bill by a strong majority. As I began to speak a young lawyer hurled into my face: "Your Senator voted for the bill." I replied, "Yes, my Senator votes for a good many bills which 1 do not vote for. It's because he don't know the evil eirect of this bill." The passage of this hill would have cost the schools of Horry several thousand dollars this year. 1 wonder if the Senator recalls who ii was in me House tnat caused tne 12.000 shortage on teachers' salaries; in the State to he made good. He never once .asked me about Horry's! part which was $11,000. I also voted i for a bill to charge only 50 per cent of our school books every ten years, instead of every five years. I voted for a bill to change only 50 per cent 20 per cent. This would have saved to the taxpayers of Horry about $9,116.46. This bill was laid to rest by the Honor/able Senate. The hydroelectric bill was killed b\ this same august body. The Senator says that I create new oflices. We will notice his fur bill. He introduced this bill with 45 per cent to go to the schools and 55 per cent for law enforcement. The House amended it by giving the schools DO per cent. The Senator got on his head again and sent this: bill to free conference, where Mr. Hamlin (speaker pro tern) agreed with him for 50 p^r cent for the schools. Later he had placed in the appropi ia tion bill the following items: For oflice reil* in Columbia $ 300 For salary for one man 1 800 For nrintinir fuv Inerc 900 * o Total 2,300 T wonder if the taxpayer and the fellow who crtehes 'possoms and music rats can toll now who it is that is creating new offices. The Senator has placed me in a somewhat very awkward position. He stated first that I was a statesman (making game), in the next breath he called me | For salary for one man 1,800 a defeated politician (meaning this.; t I refuse to accept either of his terms. , 1 am not worthy of t'#e first honor and j the second is utterly false for the rcaI i son that 1 was reelected last summci on the first ballot, although 1 am in p formed that ho did not support me. I ] am only a servant of the people, <n deavoring to try to do what they wani n done. For the information of th< Senator I am giving him a correc ^ difinition of the words "statesman' . and "politician." "Statesman" is on who belongs to the State, that is oik ' whft is willing to respond to the call e or to accede to the demands made b; v its citizens. A "politician" is one wh v thinks the State belongs to him an acts independently of the wishes o e its citizens. rni.^ CI A _ i.

HEYWARD." Beaufort, S. C., May 17th, 1923. A CONCURRENT REPORT CONCERNING EXPENSE MONEY FOR MEMBERS WHEREAS: The sessions of this General Assembly have been prolonged for some thirty-five days beyond its regular session by reason of the fact that the several Revenue Committees have been engaged in solving the difficult and vexatious problems of enacting sane and efficacious revenue laws, devoting their time to hearings on the various and sundry phases of this perplexing subject, and believing it has at last been accomplished through their time and efforts; and, WHEREFORE, The members have been put to great expense in being detained in attendance upon the sessions and have been faithful therein; and, WHEREAS, The members are not responsible for the scourge of the boll weevil, but are responsible for railroad fares, hotel bills and other necessary expenses in attending1 the sittings of the General Assembly, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, That there be paid to each member of the House and Senate one hundred ($100) Dollars to defray extra expenses for overtime incurred by faithful attendance upon the sessions of the General Assembly. PROVIDED, That no member of this General Assembly shall be compelled to accept or receive any such expense money. EXTRA COMPENSATION BILL FOR ADDITIONAL EXPENSE , OF $100 Referring to the above bill I have observed that you can always trust the people. They put us here by selective process and we feel proud of their preferment and their confidence. tThey have sent as here to work out the great problems of the State (greater still by reason of these unusual times) and thpv hnv#? ed their confidence in us and willingness to abide our best judgment. They are not willing that our service entails personal loss upon us, especially during a period demanding time for careful deliberation of unusual problems. Three times before the Generr.i Assembly in past years has made an allowance for extra expenses in extraordinary sessions. Personally we are not responsible for the present depression and sensible men hold n< "big stick" over us, for we are not r. part of the people and equally in love with our State and things economical We desire no emolument or "honorarium" protection from actual loss. I* is well for the common weal that the Legislator be respected. We had not served but a short period before a prominent paper accused us of" so! diering. Not opposed to intelligent comment or consistent criticism we naturally resent nagging, being hu man like other people. The amount paid us offers no inducement, for there are many big men here in the service of the State. The actual expenses of the long session leaves nothi i ii- i i- ? ' | ing nui oeot. men are nere irom I patriotic motives and losing heavih in many cases by absence from business. No one can forecast the lengtl' of or expense of a session or propei allotment for a member's pay. It h i like hiring a seaman for a lump sun . instead of per diem to make a voyagt . which with fair sailing and v.eathe . would Uike say, 40 days, but with un [ usual stormy weather would lake 61 days. It is dealing with an unknov i i quantity and necessarily unfair an* ^ absurd. The members of the tieneni I Assembl yhave been in session sine ' January Dth, returning home Satin r days and Sundays, and coming Ivic p for late Monday sessions, or about 7 I running days, so far.
