Rock Hill Journal, Tuesday: In our
last issue we stated that an effort was
being made to have ex-Policeman ].
H. b. Jenkins appointed as state dis
pensary constable at this place to fill
the vacancy made by the resignation
Of Mr.. J. T. Thomasson. It will be
gratifying to Rock Hill people to know

appoint Mr.. Jenkins and while he will
have work outside Of Rock Hill, this
place will be his headquarters and he
and his family will continue to make
their home here. The petition that
was sent to the governor requesting
him to appoint Mr.. Jenkins was one
Of the strongest that has ever been
sent out from Rock Hill in behalf OF

bia on Saturday and presented the pc
tition in person to Governor Hayward,
who after seeing the petition did not
hesitate at all but decided at once to
make the appointment and but for the
fact that Chief Hammet was out OF
Columbia, Mr.. Jenkins commission
would have been forwarded at once.
He will receive it some time from the
1st to the 10th Of October. Mr.. Jenk-
ins Is already familiar with the work
he will have to do, he is in every way
capable to fill the position, he was al
ways faithful and conscientious In the
discharge Of his duties while on the
police force, both as chief and as as
sistant and we naturally expect some
good work from him as state consra-
BILE. Mr. Jenkins was not aware that
an effort was being made to secure
