As it now stands he will go into the second primary with S G Mnyfield with a lead of over two thousand votes. The ''sickly sentimentality" has developed into a pretty healthy sfDtiment in Mr Croft's favor. =========== Mr Cooper Replies to "Voter." | Editor County Record:? 1 dislike newspaper contro versy since I have reached maturer years, but as the official head of the public educatioual interest of my county and feeling that under ''Voter's" charges I owe a courteous official i explanation to the fair minded people of the county and a respectful consideration for the opinion of "Voter", who has charged me with dereliction of duty in the school 1 book matter, I most sincerely and respectfully beg to say that I have used my best efforts at all times to supply the demand for books, but have not at times had all of the books just when called for, on account of the lapid sale of some copies, yet I plead not guilty to the charge of intentional dereliction. ; And just here if '*\ oter'' will get a 'copy of the school law which I shall be glad to give him, as I c 11 not say that I especially admire this way of throwing bricks and hiding your hand but prefer an open pjlit| leal antagonist to a pretendec^/riend) and if he will read the whole of Sec. 1239 I think he will find that I am not required to supply unusual de-mands with the meaus allowed but the law requires me to keep office open each day of the week prior to the time appointed for schools to open, and one week immediately thereafter, and (and the time for ODeuinsr and closing schools is fixed I by the county board of education; j see Sec. 1228 page 20> for at least I one day in each week during the ! remainder of the school term for the convenience of those wishiug to purchase books. But I have done more. I have had Mr II 0 Brittou, who ' lives in Kingstree, to furnish books every day of the week save Sunday, J for which help I had to pay Iniu, "Voter" says he has applied three different times for some of the books, which I regret; but if "Voter" will j allow me I beg to inform him that ! the line of text books have to be j purchased from several different ! book houses located in Richmond, Ya., Chicago, New York, Boston and Philadelphia and it takes from live to seventeen days for books to reach here, if not side tiactod. And just here I beg to say that if the State j board of education had to have re' quired the numerous book houses to ! establish two or three geueral depos; itories in the State, say one in Charleston, one in Columbia, and one in Greenville, where the entire ! line could be secured, then this un; necessary delav in transit would have been overcome and I would have been spared this communication. If "Voter's" attack upon my 1 unfuithfulluess of duty in the book 1 matter was prompted *by political ! significance either f'?r himself ori j some one that he prefers to see su: perintendent of education rather than myself, why I am perfectly willing that the justice-loving people of the county whom I have honestly serv ! ed decide, and rest assured if they select some one else, I will with all the grace of a gentleman submit and not prove ungrateful for past i confidence bestowed in lue. I conI sider that '4 Voter" has done me an | injustice in resorting to a newspaper j attack upon me, before giving mej j an cppoituuity to satisfy him in this 1 matter, but I am a public servant 'and my public work is their propjerty and it is open and. ready for j inspection and I am proud of it. In conclusion I beg to say that it ! is thev opinion of Assistant Attorney 'generalTownsend the dog tax will j be collected the coming year, and . after July 1st I can estimate on the | dog tax for the benefit of the school j children, eh?
