\ MR. WAGNON DISCUSSES
J SUPPLY BILL
Union, S. C., Mar. 8, 1915.
Editor Union Times,
Union, S. C.
f Dear Sir:?Inasmuch as I was possibly
responsible for the publication
of the County Supply Bill in The
Union Times, a week or so ago, to
1 which Senator Hughes refers to in
an interview in your paper last is*
sue, allow me to say in order that
" the whole matter may be understood
fully?first of all?that there is no
quarrel or misunderstanding between
Senator Hughes and myself, neither
r is there any between my colleague,
r Mr. Walker and I.
e Wo are all personal friends and I
" have for each the highest personal
regard, and I shall so continue to
regard them, however much and
widely we may differ on political and
^ business views, for I assume them to
^ be as sincere in their position on
such matters as we may differ on,
j; as I am.
To begin with when the County
Supply Bill was framed after the
most painstaking and careful study,
and with the sincercst desire to take
r care of every interest of the county
s and at the same time avoid, if possible,
the dreaded increase of taxes
3 which it looked like we would inevi1
tably have to make (of course a.
matters of any great degree of importance,
were more or less informally
discussed, between the different
members of the delegation r om
n time to time as opportunity offered),
x and as I understand it was custoj
mary to leave it to the House memlinrs
tr> Hrnw flip C!onntv Snnnlv Rill.
~~~ " w"w J "-""rrv y
I drew the bill and Mr. Walker and
I carefully went over and revised
same, before introducing it, and of
course it was to be expected that any
changes that the Senator wanted to
make, he would offer in the shape
of an amendment, and the fact
that the Senator's amendments were
added to the bill as published in The
Times, was due to the fact that The
^ Times had asked for a copy of the
p bill, ar soon as it was ready, and a
copy of the bill just as it was introduced
in the House had been mailed
t to them, and by them set up in type
(j ready for publication just as it was
printed, before the Senator otTered
his amendments, and as The Times
and others knew that the changes
were made before the paper came
j or.t, though the article was already
t M type ready for the paner, I furbished
The Times with the Senate
Journal in order that they might, as
r far as possible, comnlete the bill,
which was done simply by copying
the Senate Amendments and not as
the Senator seemed to infer to give
him any undeserved prominence in
l_ the matter. In the next place I wish
r to say that one or two good citizens
r and friends presented the matter of
r a Clerk to the Supervisor to me and
j_ at first, it di'd seem to be the plan
o to get the most satisfactory results.
^ and as such appealed to me, and like
? the Senator, I am not only willing
but anxious to get efficiencv. and will
not hesitate to spend $(500.00 or anv
other reasonable amount, if by so
- doing we get efficiency, or if I can
see where the people will be bener
fitt?d adequately for the expenditure
_ But after the matter of the Clerk<
ship to the Sunervisor was presented
to me I studied the r.ew County Ocvernment
law under which the countv
began operation this year and found
that th-> duties of the Supervisor
were nrescribed as follows: "He shall
a examine a'l claims against tne countv.
and shall submit the same to the
d Roard of Town shin Commissioners
r with his recommendation thereon."
,t And the further power on the order
c of the Township Commissioners to
:t "sign notes for money necessary to
he borrowed." and to "comnare the
li?t of persons liable for road duty
with the Treasurer's books and report
such as have not paid the Comb
mutation Road Tax to the Townshir)
Commissioners so that each Township
Commissioner shall be able to
c summons those who have not paid
the Communtation Tax to road duty."
s I then decided that it would not add
i to the efficiency of the county gov
c ernment to create the clerkship, and
left the same out of the Sunply Rill
not by accident, but because when
your county government law says the
y "Poard of Township Commissioners
r mall have charge of the chaingang.
h and all other business of a general
character, such as letting bridges,
y election of Superintendent of Poor'
house, purchasing machinery, mules.
' wagons, supplies, etc., and shall let
i* contracts for bridges, or other puby
lie work, and they shall personallv
? fnsoect all work done under their
d contracts, etc." You have by this
law virtually made a clerk out of
the Supervisor, you virtuallv add a
* (500.00 clerk to assist a $1000.00
fl clerk. And I want it understood
'' that I have the fullest continence in
e the Supervisor, and every Township
" Commissioner. I feel sure that tlw
h will do all that men can do to get
efficiency, and will regard the law
and stay within the aopronriations
t made for them this year, which wili
be absolutely necessary, unless the
p people are willing for an incresase
I' of taxes for past indebtedness. 1
should be only too glad to have the
Supervisor in touch with ev^rv job
of work that is carried on in Union
r county, and stand ready to back,
'' with the Senator and my colleague.
c Mr. Walker, every one of these coun?
ty officials to the limit, but as the
' law under which the county is now
v coverned. virtually limits the Superr'
visor to a clerk, in his duties and
prerogatives, I did not see, and dc
r not yet see, where efficiency or econ^
omy is to be attained by having two
k clerks, one at $1000.00. and another
d at $000.00. to do the work that one
n clerk did last vear at $000 00. T know
- that the Senator and Mr. Walker
make a majority of the delegation
and as they saw it the other way, 1
and I had no desire or intention of
having any falling out or feeling
about the matter, I could not do any
more than I did to prevent this 1
clerkship from being created. And ifit
will save money or gain efficiency
for the county, I still do not oppose
it, but confess that I still do not see
how it can, any more than I did .
when I left it off the Supply Bill, (
fcs I thought at the time, with the ]
consent of my colleague, Mr. Walker, |
though I will say that he was inclined ,
then, as he afterwards asked the j
Senator to include the item.
I still believe that this money ,
I still believe that this money could ,
to the benefit of Union county, to let j
the Board of Township Commissioners,
and the delegation with the Su- (
pervisor agree on one or two days ,
per week for the Supervisor to spend
in his office, which will give him j
ample time to do the office work re- |
quired of him. Advertise this day .
or these days, so that all the people
may know what day or days the of- ,
fice is open, then invest a part of j
this six hundred dollars, in a Ford ,
Automobile, and let the Supervisor !
spend such other days of the week 1
as are at his disposal in covering (
every road in Union county, advise
and consult with each township
Commissioner, and let them as often
as possible, go into each others j
townships and see and know what ]
is being done, how it is being done
and the results that are being gotten 1
in each township. *
The machine could further be used <
in conveying prisoners to the gang [
in visiting the county institutions,
and contract work wherever same
may be going on.
In other words, I felt called on
to make it plain that I did not desire 1
j to create the clerkship, and left it 1
out of the Supply Bill when I drew 1
it, not because I did not want e'Ti- 1
ciency, not because I did not wafft <" '
help the Supervisor in every way 1
possible, not because of any misun- 1
derstanding or feeling between Mr. i
Walker or Senator Hughes or my- !
self, but simply because after going
into the matter, it appeared to me
just as stated above, and i would be 1
glad if every citizen of the county 1
would get the Acts of the regular 1
session of 1911, look on pages (3o8- |
GI19 and 040, Act No. .'172, and see if
I am not correct. Further, I will say J
that I furnished the copy of the Bill 1
to The Union Times, that all the '
people of Union county might see
and know just how and where the
money of the county was. appropri- 1
ated to go and what it take.; to run .
your county and why. I also fur- 1
nished the same bill at the same .
time to the Treasurer upon request, .
and I think to the Supervisor and
one or two more, and would have
gladly sent it to any citizen of Union <
county who requested it. I, of course,
had nothing to do with the manner
in which the paper set the Bill up
for publication, and of course did |
not know that they were going to 1
set it up before the Senator amended
the bill or that he was going to
I amend the bill at all. But since
! they had set the type ready to print
i and he did not amend the bill, with
j Mr. Walker's consent, which certainly
as he says, made a majority of
the delegation, there was no way
I so far as I know to give the changes
except to add them to bill as already
set up, and this was what was done. ;
Yours truly.
L. L. Wagnon,
Member of House.
