Robert N. McKay was appointed the first overseer, at a salary of $500 per year.


The superintendents of the poor, also, in making their report, as above, asked for the fol- lowing appropriation for the expenditures of the ensuing year:


To meet payment on farm and interest. $2,280 00


" overseer's salary .. 500 00


Erection of building for the insane. 500 00


Additional stoek for the farm. 300 00


For support of the inmates of home. 1,420 00


Total, . $5,000 00


At the same session the board passed a reso- lution deeming it, in their judgment, better to have one than three superintendents, and pro- ceeded to an election. John A. Meeker was chosen as such, to act for the term of one year.


In 1879, as is learned by a report made to the board, there were nineteen inmates in the county poor house, and the average cost per head was $46.17 per annum, or about eighty- eight cents per week. The total cost of run- ning the farm and poor house was $1,879.60, and the products were valued at $1,557.27, leav- ing but a small deficit.


At the annual meeting of the board, the method of attending to the poor farm and the inmates thereof by one superintendent, not proving satisfactory, a change was again made, and three superintendents were appointed, who now hold that office: John A Meeker, A. S. Ripley and Thomas Sippy.


The present overseer of the poor at the farm is Philip Warren, who has held that position for the past two years.


From the report of the examining committee made to the board of supervisors, dated Nov. 17, 1883, it is learned that at that time there were seventeen inmates on the poor farm; the « hole number of weeks attendance by paupers at the poor honse during the year just closed, was 780; the cost of maintaining each individ- ual upon the farm per week was $1.86; amount paid overseer per year, $500.

HISTORY OF RICHLAND COUNTY.


CHAPTER VI.


POLITICAL STATISTICS.


In this chapter is given the vote of Richland county for every general election held from the organization of the county until 1884, inclu- sive, so far as can be ascertained from the records. It will be noticed that there is no re- port of an election in 1883. By an act of the Legislature, passed during the winter of 1882-3, it was provided that all State and county offi- cers should thereafter be elected in "even years." Therefore, those officers who would otherwise have been elected in 1883, hold over one year.


The first election held within the limits of Richland county was in April, 1850, when the first county officers were chosen. The follow- ing is the list, although no record is in existence to show the number of votes polled, or where the election was held: John Rutan, county clerk; Marvin White, register of deeds; A. B. Slaughter, clerk of the courts; D. H. Byrd, county treasurer; John J. Mathews, sheriff; J. W. Coffinberry, county judge, and John Il. Price, E. H. Dyre and Adam Byrd, members of the board of supervisors.


The election of Nov. 5, 1850, was the first held in the county of which there is any record. At this election the total number of votes cast was 158, divided as follows:

Coffinberry, county judge; John J. Mathews, sheriff; John Stone, prosecuting at- torney; JJames Appleby, surveyor and William Kincannon, coroner.


The election July 15, 1851, was a special elec- tion, at which only eight votes were cast, elect- ing John J. Morland to fill the office of prose- cuting attorney, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John Stone.


In November, 1851, the board of canvassers, having decided that the election held this year was not in accordance with the law, rejected all returns. "No election had taken place," was en- tered upon the records, and the old officers held over.
