YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, September 26:
Two weeks ago District Constable
FAINT of Spartanburg, came to ROCK
Hill to investigate conditions here as
to the acceptability Of Constable
Thomasson as an officer, he being the
resident member of the constabulary
force. After consulting a number OF
our people Mr.. FAINT returned to Spar
tanburg and a few days ago Mr..
Thomasson received orders to report at
Union for service, the next day an
other order came transferring him to
Columbia. Removal, however, was not
agreeable to Mr.. Thomasson, as his
family, living three miles in the coun-
try, would be left without protection.
He notified Chief U. B. Harmmett OF
his situation and objection, but this
had no effect. He was notified to re-
port at Columbia or send in his resig-
nation. He preferred to do the latter
and mailed his commission and badge
to Chief Harmmett and asked for re-
turn of his bond. There is no doubt
about there being much feeling against
Mr.. Thomasson in this community ana
therefore his efforts could not be made
as effective as they would have been
otherwise, but he was a good officer
and understood conditions here much
better than any member of the con-
stabulary force who might be sent to
take his place. However, there is
on foot here to ask the gov
ernor to appoint ex-Chief Of Police
J. H. B. Jenkins to the place and II so
our people will be much gratif1ed. He
is an excellent officer, as we have had
occasion to say before, gentleman
under all conditions. prudent and safe,
always avoiding offence and the ex-
ercise of harsh measures, and the pc
tition. voluntarily drawn and circulat-
ed by his friends, bears the signature
of every citizen to whom it was pre-
sented. For the present Constable j.
