BIG DRAINAGE PROJECT
FOR WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY
Kingstree Swamp Drainage District
to Be Surveyed At Once
For Canals

Much has been said and heard re-
Gently about land drainage, and a
great deal of this splendid work has
already been done in Williamsburg
county, but there still are many
thousands of acres of swamp land
that may at little expense be convert
ed into the most fertile garden spots.
The section known as the Kingstree
Swamp Drainage District, extending
from Olanta, in Florence county, to
Kingstree, distance of twenty-one
miles and embracing an area Of about
10000 acres, having its water shed at
Moore's X-Roads, in this county, is
perhaps the largest single district in
the county at all subject to reclama-
ton by drainage.
There has been movement on foot
for several years to get the land own
ers in this district together in an
agreement to undertake the work of
draining this splendid section of
country. Finally they have been able
to see the great benefits in the way of
enhancing the vvalue of their lands,
that a system of drainage canals
through the territory would provide,
and last week Mr.. P. G. Gourdin was
employed to make the necessary sur
vey. The property owners have at
last gotten together and decided upon
a ways and means of carrying out the
great undertaking, and enough money
to complete the survey has been
planked down by them and is now in
bank
Kelley and Kinds attorneys have
been retained to look after any legal
phases that may bob up as a stumb-
ling block in the way this forward
movement by the people of the dis
trict who are willing to spend their
money toward it's accomplishment.
The district will be bonded as pro-
vided for under the Drainage Act.
The bonds will be issued to run over
a period of fifteen to twenty years
and the property owners benefited
by the drainage system will pay a
nominal sum per acre each year just
as he now pays his taxes, and the land
that is now worthless for practical
purposes will increase in value ten
fold.
Mr.. Gourdin will start a survey on
the work with several crews of engi-
neers about the first Of March. The
main channel of the canal will follow
the valley or low lying swamp Sec
tion from Mimm's x Roads, near
Olanta, and terminate in Black river
at Broad Swamp. The main ditch
or canal will be twenty-one miles
long, while forty-four miles of laterals
will be run through the 10000 acres
of swamp territory embraced in the
Kingstree Swamp Drainage district
including valuable lands around
Cades and in the Sandy Bay section.

POSITION CALLS FOR ABILITY
EngIishman Chosen to Administer A.
fairs In Jerusalem Has Been
Given a Hard Task.

The office of governor Of Jerusalem,
once occupied by Pontius PLATE, is
now held by Col. Ronald Storrs, a
graduate Of Cambridge university and
son of the dean of Rochester college,
England.
His task is one to test the admins
trative ability Of any man. Jerusalem
is a city of disunions, where what
ever may come of the future, for
the moment Zionists and Arabs are
passionately divided, and to steer
just path between them and induce
them to join him on that path is thank
less work.
1t is to that task, however, that he
chiefly devotes himself. Twice a week
he has meetings Of his favorite pro-
Jerusalem society, where French. Ital-
ians, British, Americans, rabbis, Zion
lists, leaders. commercial men of stand
ing and others who are in any way
prominent in the life of the city are
brought together and in the course
of debate led to see that they have
in common a single citizenship. His
motto as governor is "unify and be
friends"
Colonel StOrrs was one of the prime
movers in the establishment of an in
dependent Arab kingdom. He is thir-
ty-eight years old.

Ousted Official Loses
Right of Appointment
Continued from page one

by the board of county commission
ers, to serve out the uneXpired por-
lions of the terms for which they
were originally elected, the vacancies
occurring by reason of the removal
of these said ex-officials from their
respective Offices by order of the
court?"l
The attorney general, in his reply,
says in part:
| 1T is the, conclusion of this de-
partment that neither the probate
judge nor the sheriff is eligible for
appointment by the county commits
sioners to serve out the unexpired
portions of the current terms for
which they were originally elected.
Section 1854, compiled statutes,
among other things provides; and If,
on such hearing it appears that the
charge is sustained, the court must
enter decree that the party in
formed against is deprived Of his
office"
The opinion goes on to say that
the exact question was before the
supreme court of Tennessee in 1916,
when the mayor Of Memphis was re-
moved from office. The court held
that the law would be turned into a
farce If under 1t an official might be
