A reader critiques County Commissioners minutes for missing vote records on a $10,000 road appropriation. The piece cites Supervisor Johnson and Commissioner McDonald and argues that decisions must be properly recorded and publicly accountable. It asserts all Dispensary profits and tax money are public funds.
A letter urges that minutes record the Attorney’s reasons for denying a 40 loan to the Drainage Commission and urges continued support for road-improvement funding. The author defends the county officials and anticipates government involvement as beneficial, stressing the minutes' transparency.
The council passed a curfew requiring all boys fourteen years and younger to be off the streets by 10 PM unless accompanied by an adult. The measure was approved unanimously. The Daily Item endorses curfew due to moral upbuilding and cites Anderson SC as a model.
Gov Folk saved Lord Barrington from execution. Missouri Democrats propose leniency only if Barrington is identified as a fraud pretending to be a noble.
