$4,000 SACKS OF
ONIONS INTO RIVER

Stockton, Cal, Dec. 6.-Fully 50,-
600 sacks of onions grown in San
the river this year, largely on account
of the present low prices. Local
growers and commission men defend
this action by declaring that the yield
has been exceptionally heavy and
that there is an unusual amount of
culls. Growers are offered from 80
to 60 cents per sack, according to
quality. They state that it costs 10
cents a sack to dig them and that
when rent and cost or production is
charged against the crop they lose
money at 80 cents. Only culls or un-
marketable portion. they declare, is
being thrown overheard.

It is the curative medicinal ele-

TIE OCONEE APrOI NTMENTS

a dispatch from Columbia, under
date Of March 22d, announces that
Governor Blc9sc has appointed B. +.
Douthit, OF Waihalla, and j. II. Ma
son, OF Westminster, as rural police
men for Oc0ncc.
No mention Is made Of the ap-
pointment of the gentleman recon-
meIded for the third policeman-H.
G.. Harbiu, OF Scncca~-and we pre-
sumo that Governor Blease has re-
fused to appoint Mr.. lIarbin on per-
sonal grounds in spite Of tho fact
that he received the recommendation
of Oconees delegation in tho House
and Senate.
It seems that in making up the
recommendations for the three posi-
tions Representatives Cary and Har-
rjs and Senator Earle agreed each to
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1912-03-27

select one man, those selected to re-
ceive the endorsement Of all. Sena-
tor Earle recommended b. T.. Douthit,
Representative Harris recommended
,, j.. II. Mason, and Representative
Cary recommended II. G.. Harbin.
The latter held the position Of State
disponsary constable for several years
and made splendid officer.
We have had in our hands for some
time information that led to the be-
lief that Mr.. Harbin would not re-
cciye an appointment from Governor
Blease, but withheld same from pub
li"ation Mntil the Governor should
take action. We give below this cor
rcspondence:
State Of South Carolina, Execu-
tive Chamber, Columbia, S. c., March
7th, 1912.
Hon J. r. Earle, Walhalla, S. C..
Dear Sir: Your letter Of the 4th
instant with recommendations for
rural policeman received.
II am Informed that Mr.. Harbin Is
bitter enemy Of mine; In fact, that
he Is fighting me every day.
81 will be glad if you will send me
Il man in his place.
VERY respectfully,
cole l.. Blcasc, Governor"
Follow ng receipt OF this letter
Senator Earle sent the note below to
Representative Cary.
Dear 81: Make anothei recon-
mcndatiOn IN accordance wit. our
Yours,
81. r. Earle"
Just what the outcome Of tie
"clash' will be we are unable to say.
Mr.. Harbin has the endorsement of
the delegation, but the Governor cvi-
IDENTIFY does not intend to appoint and
commission him. He Is undoubtedly
not one Of my friends" but he made
an efficient officer, and. having the
recommendation Of the delegation, he
certainly has his rights. Whether he
will step aside and relinQuish his
rights in the premises, or stand for
them to the end, remains to be seen.
We have not seen Mr.. Harbin since
the announcement of the appoint
ment Of the other two gentlemen,
which would seem to Indicate Mr..
liarbin'S failure to secure appoint
mcnt, bat when seen tho early part
OF March he was inclined to hold out
for his appointment, and we feel that
he is right in doing so.
Representative Cary stated that,
unless MIR. Harbin voluntarily re-
uurStcd his name withdrawn. he
would not make another recOmmcn-
datiOn.

OF how that appears to your neigh

again seen premises nicely cleaned
and looking very pleasing to the eye,
yet the whole effect was marred by a
glance into the street, where was
piled or scattered the litter that had
been removed from the premises.
Is that just? suppose everybody
practiccd that sort Of thing. The
municipal authorities would be kept
busy cleaning up private filth and
would have little time to carry on
thc work that it is their place to look
after. Besides, when such practices

that he would break Up all combina-

dentally admitting that he possessed
the necessary qualifications to accom-
plish this desirable result.
He fled suit for the supposed pur
pose Of foEfeiting the charters Of the
Missouri Pacific and fifteen other rail
road companies; and the supreme cour,
has just rendered unanimous decision
holding that Majors petition states no
cause Of action.

would it take him to bust the railroad
