road selling the mileage book Is the
object of the bill introduced in the
senate by Senator Carlisle of Spartan
burg.
- Governor Blease has revoked an
order Of former Governor Ansel, call
ing an election on the question Of
erecting the new county of Hayward
out of Aiken, Edgef1eld and Barnwell
counties. The project Of forming the
proposed county has been under con-
sideration for several years, and there
has been a lot Of feeling, as there usu-
ally Is under such circumstances. The
constitution Of the state requires that
no new county can be erected with
less area than 400 square miles and
that no new county line can pass
through the limits of an incorporated
town. AS the result Of evidence, in
cluding prima facie facts submitted
at the rehearing, Governor Blease was
satisfied that the proposed new county
does not include the required area and
that the proposed county line passes
through the incorporated town Of FL
lenton. He was satisfied also that the
surveyor had made fraudulent repre-
sentations. For these reasons he de-
cided to rescind the order for an elec-
ton.
- Gaffney Ledger: A married wo-
man by the name Of Bowlin shot a
young white man by the name OF Tom
Bright Sunday night at her home In
this CITY, A Winchester rifle did the
work and Bright was struck In the
hip by the big bullet, which came
through the door In front OF which
he was standing at the time. The
details, according to the wounded
mans version, were to the effect that
he was to meet another man at Mrs.
Bowlin's home that night, that a short
time after dark he repaired to the
meeting place and inquired Of the
woman II said man had put In his
appearance. She replied that he had
not and demanded to know who 1t
was at her door, and upon his telling
her who he was, she began to curse
him and soon fired shot through
the door which hit him as above
stated. This Is Bright's version OF the
affair. but the woman's side has not
yet been learned. The wounded man
lin arrested for shooting him, but as
yet he has not taken any legal ac-
tion.
Columbia Record: That 1t may be
necessary to postpone the election OF
the fifth associate justice created un-
der the recent constitutional amend
ment, for two years or more, Is the
opinion of several who have studied
the situation. The judiciary committee
Of the senate has had the matter under
consideration, and Thursday afternoon
will begin the discussion OF the bill
from the house relating to this office.
In order to hold the election this year,
1t is suggested that all the justices now
on the bench might resign, and be re-
elected with the additional justice, un-
der the new arrangement. Two con-
stitutional amendments were ratified
at this session Of the assembly. One
creates a fifth associate justice, the
other provides for an increase in the
term, from eight to ten years. It is
understood that the terms Of the JUS
tices do not expire in an order which
will permit the introduction Of the ad-
ditional justice and the change OF the
term this year, and hence 1t may be
necessary that the justices of the su-
preme court resign, to be reelected by
the legislature along with the fifth JUS
tice, in order to get the terms OF the
justices arranged and CLASSIFIED In
proper order.

Anderson, January 81: Because
Governor Blease did not appoint Mr..
Van B. Martin whisky constable for
Anderson county as recommended by
him, but instead appointed Mr.. P. Olin
Sanders, Sheriff King is greatly agitat-
ed. He said tonight that 1t was his
impression that the appointment should
be made upon the recommendation or
the sheriff, and since Governor Blease
had ignored him in the appointment
he did not feel inclined to be respon-
sible for the work Of the constable,
nor did he feel inclined to o. K. the
warrants for the pay and expenses Of
the constable. Since the appointment
was made without his consultation and
since one uncongenial to him has been
selected by Governor Blease, Sheriff
King says that he wishes to be relieved
entirely Of the work Of the whisky con-
stable, that the work of the constable
has no connection whatever with the
sheriffs office. Sheriff King said that
he called on Governor Blease While IN
Columbia last week and that ne told
the governor that he wanted Martin
reappOlnteQ, tIldt lie ildu SlNch ootio
faction. Sunday, Sheriff King wrote
the governor placing the recommenda-
ton in writing. Mr.. Sanders received
his commission today. Mr.. Sanders
has served on the local police force
several years, and until recently he
was sergeant of the force. He is a
man Of good habits, fearless. and has
many friends here Sheriff King says
he and his deputies will continue to do
their best to hold down violations OF
the liquor laws.
