YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD DRUGGIST FOR ALMOST HALF A CENTURY. MISSILDINE’S PHARMACY. PHONE NO. 4 RALPH ERSKINE _Continued, from Page One— plan gets going, high man will serve four years and low man two years. This may be a good plan but many of our citizens in Polk County have favored some thing different. The County Commissioners are the most important officials so far as you and I are concerned. They are the guardians of the County Funds and have the say as to how they are spent. They employ and pay lawyers, auditors, fix salaries of County officers, have charge of the County Home and Farm, and have the power to change the pay of officials from a salary to a fee basis. Their ad ministration of the funds largely determines our tax rate. If I am elected Representative for our County on November 7th I promise to make a most careful study of this whole subject. In the past many of our citizens have favored electing one commission er from each of the six Town ships. In this way, for example, saiuaa rownsnip citizens wouia elect their own commissioner with out interference from Tryon or “any other township'. In the same way Tryon and every other town ship would choose their own com missioner without influence or in terference from Saluda or any other township. By this means we would return to a .pure democratic method of representation on this most im portant of all our local govern mental agencies. Each of the six townships would thus be repre sented and we would avoid the pos sibility of having a majority of the Board from one township as has happened in the past. The Board would elect its chairman and thus a deadlock would be avoided because the chairman does not have a vote except in case of a tie. It would seem that a two1 year term is adequate because if a township finds and elects a good man, they could re-elect him. If you are not now a regis tered voter, be sure to register. Each township has an office open for registering each Saturday in October. RALPH C. ERSKINE, .
