TRUE TODAY
A friend of mine was looking
through a folder for something
the other day, and a newspaper
clipping, yellowed with age,
fell out. There is no date on
the clipping hut it must have
been a number of years ago
that it was published, because
on the reverse side of the clip
ping, in the Classified Ads,
"A thoroughly competent book
keeper” was looking for a job
at a salary of $25 per week.
The editorial comment from
the Journal of Commerce, New
York, is just as appropriate
today as it was then. It was
entitled ‘‘Political Knavery”
and parts of it are quoted be
low' :
“It ought to be a part of
every man’s creed that lying,
cheating, swindling, stealing
and the like do not change
their character because of the
object for which the offense is
committed. It is true that a
wise man wrote many centuries
ago that 'men do not despise
a thief if he steals to satisfy
his soul when he is hungry,’
hut he adds that in spit'- of
the pity that may be felt for
such a criminal he must suffer
the full penalty if he is caught.
"The political crimes of mar
day, and of all times . . are
perpetrated fur the most part
by the leaders and agents
alike, with the same indiffer
ence to their enormity and a
like seeming misconception --r
unconsciousness of their true
character. A politician elected
to office will -wear to sup
port the Constitution ami to
execute the laws, and will of
ten pay no more attention to
this oath than if perjury in an
officer of the government was
a wholly different offense from
fot-wearing himself in the
imhvulual. And so with other
violations of the decalogue.
The bearing of false witn-ss
again.-t a poiiti .1 opponent or
party in a heated campaign
will be promoted, or winked at,
f not justified, hy men who
would feel a thrill of horror if
one of their children should
be caught m a falsehood, , and
would resent it as an unpard
onable affront if charged with
telling a lit- on their own pri
vate account.
Stealing a State, or a seat
in Congress or the Legislature,
but a clever trick in the
eyes of partisan politicians,
and they will chuckle over it,
arid defend it as if the eighth
commandment had been sus
pended by divine authoi t\ m
all matters touching election.-
and office- nearing. S- La tor

“We have been led to treat
this subject just now by the
flippant allusions made in the
press throughout the country

rules of common morality by
party leaders and their un

Mishandling of
funds noted in
county audit
The audit of Newberry coun
ty books, just completed by
Robert C. Mayes III, certified
public accountant, revealed a
mishandling of funds by a
cler ikn the office of t h e
county treasurer.
The auditor's report stated:
“During the course of our
examination, wv found that the
rhok employed by the County
Treasurer’s office had substi
tuted checks drawn on her
hank account or on others for
the County'- cash. The clerk,
who prepared the deposits for
the Treasurers' office, could
not deposit these checks and
would substitute other checks
with a later date and for larg
er amounts in order to give the
appearance of being current
On June 3<h 19C7, the d-rk
substituted the check of her
husband for the older checks
in the amount oi $1,931) and d
posited same m the County's
bank account on June 30, 19ti7.
The $1.950 check was returned
in July of 1997 marked NSE.
The clerk, the day after we
discovered this situation, paid
the $1,950 to the County Treas
urer and resigned.”
The auditor also not. d that
the Sheriff's jail records in
dicate that two men had been
arrested and placed in jail and
subsequently taken before the
Romaria magistrate 1 . No record
could be found as to disposit ai
of the cases. The auditor rec
ommended that all eases In-
recorded whether persons pay
a penalty or not.
The audit showed that New
berry County spent $lo,S25
more during 1909-07 than in
the previous year. Increase in
salaries was the main reason
for the increased budget, the
auditor said.

Francis hospital in Charleston
Monday, August 21, returned

Sunday and is reported to be
doing nicely.
State Superintendent of Education Cyril Busbee was guest speaker when th* New
berry County Development Board honored County and Area Advisory school board
members Friday night. He noted a one-thirdd decrease in enrollment in the county
schools in the past 35 years and told the board members that since only 32.4 percent
of high school graduates enter college, schools must gear their efforts to further
train those who are not college-bound. In the photo, Mr. Busbee is shown with, from
left, Walter Hamm, president of the Newberry County Development Board, who
presided; Mr. Busbee, Ralph Watkins, county director of schools and Dan Hamm,
who gave the response to welcome on behalf of the County Board. (Sunphoto.)
