 Tn December, 1909, Mayor Edward
 T. Buckingham announced his selec- ton of MT. Hallen for police commits sioner. With the organization of that body in January, 1910, he was elect ed presiding officer. Under his sug-
 gestions as president, the police de-
 partment made rapid strides forward
 and was acclaimed as on a par if not
 in better condition than any force in a. city of like size. One condition i4a
 particular which was advanced was the placing of the traffic squad upon a more efficient working basis, This
 was brought about through Judge
 Tn 1910 Judge Hallen declined re- appointment to the board as he had
 declined re-nomination about the same time to the Board of Education to accept the nomination for judge of
 probate. Following an active cam
 paign in which he played a most fm-
 portant part because of his oratorical ability he was elected to that high of-
 flee. His conduct of this important
 position earned for him a reputation
 of rare Judicial temperament and kindly ability. This was most marked in his handling of commitment cases and his keen discernment and ten
 dency to treat gently and with the hu-
 man element persons entering into the settlement of numerous wills and es-
 tates made him an invaluab1es official
 In the fall of 1912 he was accord
 ed a re-nomination to the same office and was again elected, carrying on
 the affairs of the office in the same superior manner. Again in the last campaign he was the only choice of the local Democrats and was again re- nominated. That he still maintained his popularity as a vote getter was quite manifest in his excepti ionaIIy large vote but in the conditions which accrued to the success of the Republican forces he was defeated His friends. however, pointed with pride to his great run. far in advance of any other candidate on his ticket.

JOHN I. KING IS ! SLATED FOR BOARD
 OF APPORTIONMENT
Deprived, Through p. H. Warner, of Place Last Year,
 He'll Get It This Year

There will be four new faces on the board of apportonment next year Albert E. Macdonald, William T. Hincks, Norman Leeds and John Dez- expire will not be reappofnted. The administration is sore on Commis- sioners Leeds, Macdonald and F1incks because of the searching investtga- tions that these gentleman have car ried into administration schemes but it is sorest of all on MT. Leeds. His term on the board of contract and supply ends this year too and be- cause of the stand he has taken against allowing members of his own board to sell things to the city and his fight to retain George L. Catlin as clerk. Mayor Wilson will be glad to be rid Of him
 Just who will succeed these four has not yet been quite determined. Macdonald and Leeds are Republi- cans. Hfncks and Dezso are Demo crats.3 MT. Dezso can have reap pointment if he desires 1t but he has an extensive grocery and meat busf- ness in the West End and h4 does not feel he can give the necessary time to the worwk of the board.
 John T. King will undoubtedly Ee named by the mayor for one of the places on the board. It Is known that MT. King wanted to go on the board Ae1Sts - SSelA ce4414 cASSd W1l11 Mayor Wilson to appoint him, but it is whispered among Repn nblicans that while MT. King was in Europe, D. H. Warner got the mayor,s ear and in consequence Adr King did not go on the board.
 Friends of James c. Ludlun of the International Silver Co have been boosting him for appointment but he does not meet with favor with the powers that be Except for Mr., King nothing definite has been decided re- garding the appointments.

While your letter does not
disclose the fact, | understand
that all of these members died

Section 80 of Article 3 of the
constitution provides that the

A Happy Home

twenty-five years ago a young
man from Pickens county lett
and settled near Slabtown, in
Anderson county. The place on
which he settled was worn out
and washed in gullies. Now
the pasture land is well set in
Bermuda grass and the farming
land is almost like a garden
spot, in a very high state Of cul-
tivation, yielding t h e finest
crops each year. He has a
herd of Jersey cattle and is now
selling Clemson College $50
worth of cream every month;
He has splendid mules and
horses and has for this fall about
1,5OO pounds of pork. He has
harvested this year 600 bushels
of oats. In his barn are 3,0O0
bundles of last year fodder and
Is bushels of last year corn.
In the home of this man there
are twelve children, all hale and
hearty, two grown sons are IN
south Georgia, and one son went
home to Heaven in 1910. This
man told me that often when ne
would 20 to his home at the
close of day, worn out and broken
down with the labor of the day,
that his devoted Christian wife
would be singing some bright,
cheerful song and the children
would run to meet him, that in
the Joy of such companlonshlp
he would forget that he was
weary at all.
This man is a great believer
in education and has seven or
eight children in the graded
school in the community and
one in college. The house in
which he lives is one hundred
and twenty-nine years old and
in good repair. The man is W
A. G.. Jameson and his wife the
daughter of E. Smith Griffin,
all of Pickens county. Surely
this is a happy home. II.

Kansas Record

Few persons realize the won.
derful record that Kansas shows
at the end of her thirty years
prohibition of the sale of alco-
holic liquors. A careful investi.
gator, writing in The Outlook
recently, showed that
In 81 of her los counties Kan.
sas has now no insane;
: In 81 of these counties there
are no ble-minded;
96 of her counties have no in
e5riates;
3S of her county poorhouses
are empty;
So of her iails were recently
empty, and IS counties had nc
prisoners in the state peniten-
tiary;
The entire number Of paupers
in the state falls short of 800:
Some counties have not called
a grand jury to try a criminal
case in 10 years;
Not long ago Kansas had 200
millions of dollars in her banks:
her farmers owned livestock
valued at 225 millions of dollars,
and in one year the people have
added 45 millions of dollars to
their taxable property;
Only two per cent. of the en-
tire population is illiterate;
The mortality rate has dropped
from II per 1000 to Z per 1000.
Does prohibition pay the Deo-
pie of a state? Kansas certainly
answers the question with Won
derful fgures!-EXchange
