Haile and Shealy Restrain Sup. Ruff An injunction has been granted Paul H. Haile and S. W. Shealy, as Commissioners of Newbery county against Holand H. Ruff, Supervisor, by Judge C. C. Featherstone in chambers at Greeenwood. The supervisor is ordered to show cause on the 11th of September in the Greenwood circuit court why the order should not be made permanent. The order provides that “the re spondent (supervisor) be and he is hereby enjoined from interfering with and interrupting the work on the roads of the county of Newberry by the gangs or squads therefor organ ized, etc.” What the next move of the com missioners will be could not be learn ed nor could it be learned whether they will attempt to start work under the injunction. B. V. Chapman, county attorney, who has been working on the pre paration of the petition to Judge Featherstone, in conjunction with Henry C. Holloway, declined at the last moment to become a party to the action, it is said. The order sets forth that “the roads of the county are badly in need of the kind of work done by the maintenance force and that continued interference with this work by the county supervisor and his refusal to allow it to proceed . . . has already worked and will continue to work great damage to the roads of the county.” Mr. Ruff is charged with suspend ing operation on the roads on August 15th “without 'consulting the com missioners and against their wishes.” He is also charged with keeping un der lock and key machinery, gas, and tools of the county. Following the shut down of the work the two commissioners called a meeting for August 17th, and in Section 6 of the petition charge that the supervisor "had due notice” 6f the meeting and "was urgently re quested to attend . . . but he refused to attend the meeting, and instead called off a meeting of Board which had heretofore been appointed for August 21.” At the meeting of August 17th, the order states, the commissioners ordered the foreman of county work to put his men on the job. “It was then learned,” the petition states, “that the maintenance machinery and tools and the gas were under lock and key.” AUCTION SALE There will be a public auction *ale held at the Newberry County xiome on Friday at 10:00 a. m., September 15, 1939, at which time the follow ing will be sold to the highest bid der: 13 head Holstein cattle. 1 stock bull subject to registration. 1 Used Grain Drill.
