He is apparently representing Mr.
Thompson's own Ideas are Ignoring ;
the expressed wishes of ihe xctera.
In a recent conversation he was
heard to say that he had received a
petition signed by about GO people j
In the neighborhood Small. Mr.
Thompson Is reported to have ~kaio
that he dare say not one of the ped- (
pie who signed- the petition knew
what they vero signing, (does this
speak well for the people of hle?wn :
community) and that the people of |
Beaufort cohnty had said that they j
wanted to pnt their county dffteers on
a salary but he would be damned if j
he over passed a bill patting them j
on a aalary) without at the same time
creating the office of Auditor.
Mr. Thompson has been very frank
In his statements In referring to tKe
salary bill which he Introducer! re
cently, he stated that It provided that
the Afidltor should receivo a salary J
of not to exceed 9600.00 and that it j
It should be optional with the County 1
Commlssloif^rs as to whether he, the j
Auditor or tome one else should
make up the tax books and that in
no event should the making of tax
books cost to exceed $600.00. Is thl3
statement correct? The bill pro
vides as follows:
"The pbtfd of County Commission
ers shall appoint some suitable per
son as Auditor, whose duty It shall
be to make up the tak books of said
County and perform such other du
ties as Is required by' la* governing
the duties of such offices." Mr.
Thompson stated further that the bin
provided that the auditor should pass
Wall bills Wore the^ were allowed
byTihe Cbuhty Commission ers and
IbaV all bills should be Wed with the
Auditor on Thursday before the Drat
Monday of each month. 1a there any
each provision herein, "and It stall
