phant. During the year 1915, two in

Carolina as an able and efficient Off
Ger and one who conducts the affairs
Of his Office in most orderly manner
| He has recently announced that he
| will stand for reelection in the pri-
maries next summer, and he is now
entering upon the fourth year Of SER
vice as attorney general of this state
FEr. Peoples. comes of a family dis
tinguished throughout the generations
for public service; is a descendant OF
the Peytons and Randolphs Of Vir-
ginia; his, fathers people are the old
settlers of Barnwell district, in South
Carolina. He is a direct descendant
of Darling L. Peoples. who was pion-
eer in what is now known as BarnWell
county and was the first clerk Of court
of the district, and was one of the pro-
moters of the old Georgia railroad,
which was the first steam road of the
South and the second in the United
States. Mr.. Peoples mother is Of the
Hay family, whose record runs back
throughout the history Of Barnwell
county.
= "Tom'' Peoples went to the high
school in Hartsyflle and in Batesburg,
and later to the University of South
Carolina to- study law. Immediately
after finishing his course at Carolina,
he went back to his home county to
practice law in Blackville. In the
summer of 1910 he was elected to the
general assembly and served two years
in that body, during 1911 and. 1912. In
the primaries of 1912, he was elected
to the Office of attorney general, and
reelected in 1914 AS attorney gen.
eral he has ever been mindful Of the
interest of the people Of the state and
has combined efficiency and economy
in handling the affairs of his office.
During the whole of the three years
that he has served, hardly more than
$500 has been expended for attorneys
fees. During the year 1915, no attor-
neys' fees were paid although many
matters of litigation were handled by
the attorney generals office. Very
few cases have been lost, and during
1915, none of the very important cases
that came within the jurisdiction OF
the attorney generals office to handle
were lost.
MIR. Peoples has conducted many IN
teresting cases for the state. In the
first year that he was in Office the
bank tax cases were up for considera-
ton and in this litigation the attor-
ney generals Office came out trium-

Commissioner, defendant in error; and
The State, ex rel, Louis Sherfesse and
=. +. Covington, plaintiffs in error, vs..
| =. H. McMaster, defendant in error.
These two cases had been pending ia
the supreme court of the United States
for some time and involved powers OF
the insurance commissioner in so far
as the same relate to the license of for
eign insurance companies to do busi-
ness in South Carolina, and the re-
Iuirement of the insurance commits
sioner as to investments in South Car
DINA securities, etc. The two cases
were argued together by the attorney
general and the assistant attorney gen
eral on the 18th day of March, 1915,
and on the 5tn day of April, 1915, the.
judgment Of the lower court was af-
firmed with costs, and the position of
the insurance commissioner was sus-
tained.
Joe Malloy, T. IT, Vaughn and Willie.
Bethune, capital cases, were appealed
to the United States supreme court by
writ Of error, under the contention that
the crimes had been committed before
the enactment of the statute changing
the mode of punishment from hanging
to death by electrocution. The. attor->
ney general was victorious in these
cases. .,..
A notable case also in which the at
torney general was sustained was the
extradition proceedings affecting Fred.
erick Brown, alias Joe Grant, from
Pennsylvania to South Carolina. Joe
Grant was ordered TO be. returned to-
the state after having remained a.
fugitive from justice for many years.
Of extreme Importance was the pro-
hibition case decided by the state su-
preme court during 1915. This action
was brought by John Henry ChappeE,
petitioner VS.. R. NJ. McCown, secretary
of state, s. T. Carter. state treasurer,
C. w. Sawyer, comptroller general,
and the commissioners of election of
Richland county, respondents. This
was an action brought in the original
jurisdiction of the supreme court, seek
ing to enjoin the holding of the pro-
hibition election provided in Act No.
rs, Acts of 1915, page 188. In this
motion the constitutionality of the act
was attacked. The return on the part
Of the respondents, filed by the attor-
ney general, denied the jurisdiction Of
the court to issue an injunction against
the holding of the election and also
denying the allegations respecting the
constitutionality of the, act. The in
junction was refused, thus bringing to
thc attorney generals office another
victorious wreath.
In the case affecting the tax COM
mission, created at the last session OF
the general assembly, the position TAX
en- by the attorney general in the near
ing before Judge Watts was sus-
tanned by the supreme court. The ap-
peal is now pending in the United States
supreme court. Irregularities were
charged against the tax commission in
the making assessments on property
in South Carolina, on which the tax
commission was- attacked.

CHANGE ENLISTMENT
Grave Dissatisfaction Through the Coun-
try Has Caused Serious Atten-
ton to Be Directed to Ger
tain Proposals.

London. March l5.--The unexpectedly
early calls on married men to Join the
army have created such grave dissatis-
faction through the country that the
government is considering a change OF
policy. Earl Kitchener and Earl Der
by are to speak to-day in the House of
Lords regarding the matter
Il appears quite certain that the strong
feeling Of the country as to the unfair
ness of the existing system Of recruiting
has compelled the government to recon-
slider its position but whether the re-
vised policy looks in the direction Of the
application Of compulsion to married and
single men alike stil is uncertain.
