PUBLIC WELFARE OF COUNTY
The countv Board of Education!
and the countv Board of Commission
ers under the new law constitute a
new organization which held its first
moptine' last week and elected C.
Few. Jr.. to the position of superin
tendent of public welfare for Hender
son county.
From what THE .NEWS can
srather the half of the body composed
of the County Commissioners was notj
as well prepared for the meeting as j
was the other half. Anyway, they
vnt toe-ether and constituted the newi
hodv. John N. Russell was elected
chairman. The half of the organiza
tion, consisting of the Board of Edu
cation was ready for business and all
cocked and primed for Mr. Few with
a salary 01 $izo a muaun. vumc
of his office as secretary to the Board i
of Education Prof. W. S. Shitle was i
taking minutes ; by virtue of his office i
as secretary to the Board of Com
missioners Registrar ot Deeds A. u.
Jones was taking minutes. The
Countv Commissioners were not will
ing to pay $125 a month. After some
discussion one of the commissioners
nailed for a record vote and the
chairman voted and it was a tie be
tween a salary of $10,0 and $125. a
month. Nothing was accomplished on
this drive so one of the commissioners
proposed that probably Mr. Few
wouldn't be very busy at first in view
of the Tact that it was a new omce
and that he be paid for time actually
put in on the job upon filing claim
with affidavit as to work done. This
seems to have gone through but Sec
retary Shitle informs THE NEWS
that Mr. Few was elected on a salary
of $104 a month and Secretary Jones
advises that Mr. Few was elected at
$4 per day on sworn statement as

(By Victor J. Garvin.)
To be or not to be. That is one
of the questions before us, here in
Henderson County right now. It is
a question as to whether we shall
have a 1919 Henderson County Fair,
and so let ourselves be numbered
among the Progressive Counties of
the South, or just let it slide by, do

Fair has many points in common with
the Great War which has just ended.
This War was a fight to down Auto
cracy; a forerunner of World De
