HOSPITALS BOMBED BY HUNS.
Many Nurses and Patients Killed
Scenes Of Horror.

With the British Army in France,
May Fisherman airmen again
have bombed heavily British hos
pitfalls in the area behind the lines,
and this time have killed and wound
ed some hundreds among the person
mel and patients OF many different
hospitals in the group.
Recorded in the casualty list are
the names Of several sisters, who,
with other women nurses, stood
bravely by their posts throughout a
| terrific deluge OF explosives.
There is in the neighborhood one
large American hospital and another
/ in which there are American work
| ers, but neither of these appears to
/ have suffered. Last summer a num-
| Der Of American doctors and nurses
were killed and wounded when these
same hospitals we're raided by the
Germans
Scores OF Planes Took Part.
This latest horror was perpetrated
| Sunday night, apparently by four
squadrons Of enemy planes, which ap-
pear to have comprised more than a
score Of machines. "A great number
Of bombs were dropped, about 80 per
cent of them huge affairs which dug
vast craters in the hospital grounds,
and the rest high explosive shrapnel,
which sent their death-dealing bull
lets tearing in every direction
through the crowded hospital tents
and buildings
A 3-seated airplane was brought
down by gunfire while flying at low
altitude, and the occupants were
made prisoners. The enemy captain
| and the pilot sustained comparative
| ly slight shrapnel wounds, while the
| observer was not hurt. When ques-
toned why he had directed his men
against hospitals, the captain ex-
plained in a matter of fact way that
he did not see the Red Cross insignia
He said he was seeking military OBJ
jectives and had no desire to modest
hospitals.
With shrug of his shoulders, the
German captain added that If the
| British choose to build their hospi-
tails near railways they must expect
| to get them bombed.
The captain spoke excellent Eng
lish. Asked where he had learned 1t.
| he replied he had been in diplomat
service before the war.

Governor shall have full power to
appoint some suitable person, who
shall be an elect0r Of such county,
and who upon duly qualifying, ac-
cording to law, shall 70 entitled to
enter upon and hold the Office until
the next general election for county
Sheriffs, and shall be subject to all
Of the duties and liabilities incident
to said Office during the term Of his
service in said office"
It appears conclusivcly from the
section first quoted that an appoint
ment could not be made which would
end beyond the next general election
This section was originally passed in
1882 and subsequently amended by
the General Assembly in 1899. The
second section quoted was originally
passed In 1870 and thereafter
amended twice, once In 1877 and
again in 1878.
While there seems to be slight
conflict In the terms of these two Sec
tions, / am Of the opinion that when
construed in the light of the opinion
rendered by the Supreme Court in
the case Of the State VS.. Singleton,
100 S. c., 46S, they can be reconciled
In this case the court had the fol-
lowing to say:
when an office Is made elective by
the constitution and vacancy arises,
the Governor cannot fill it by appoint
ment, except temporarily. unless the
constitution gives him such power.
And there is no such provision in the
constitution as to the Office of solici-
tor.
IF the Legislature had attempted
10 empower the Governor to appoint
tor term extending beyond the first
general election after the Office be-
came vacant, such a statute would
rontraVenc the provisions OF the con-
StitutiOn in two respects.
"It would be an attempt to make
IN oihce appointivc which the consti-
tuition had declared to be clcctive;
and 1T would be an attempt to change
the term Of Office, as the appointment
for the full uneXpired term Of Office
would necessarily be less than four
years, yet If the vacancy was filed
by a general election the term of Of
flee would be for four years.
1T would be against the letter, as
we'll as the spirit, of the constitution
to hold that the Governors appoint
ment to an elective office should con-
tinue Of force after the vacancy had
been filed in the manner contemplat-
ed by the constitution, to wit, by an
election expressing the choice Of the
qualified electors OF the circuit"

Governor power to appoint for term

FLORIDA STATE FAIR CATTLE
An Excellent Opportunity to Show
What Farm And Ranch Owners
Are Doing In Raising OF

Jacksonville. - Cattlemen and hog
raisers of Florida are beginning to
take lively interest in the exhibits
Florida State Fair and Exposition
which will be held here November 81
to December 6, next Those of them
who attended the Florida State Fair
and Exposition last spring recall that
while the exhibits of hogs by Florida
bers as well as to quality the exhibits
of Florida grown cattle was extreme
ly limited. The many fine animals
exhibited came mostly from without
the State and, of course, carried
away the prizes, as they were justly
entitled to do This year exhibits of
cattle from Florida farms and ranches
promises to be very much more ex-
tensive and entirely creditable to the
state.
Scattered throughout Florida are
many excellent cattle, many or all
entitled to be entered in the prize
competition classes Of the coming
State Fair and Exposition and especial
ly as this year there will be combined
with it the Pan-American Internation-
al Farm and Live Stock Exposition.

gress, with representative agricultur-

A recent Italian educator has de

be rules, of course, and children must
learn to obey, but much friction can
be eliminated by avoiding unnecessary
commands. There should be few rules,
but these should be firmly adj

give command than to let child
evade 1t. The habit of teasing for a
