I 1 'Anderson Mail. Mr. C. Guerdon King made formal j -1 demand this morning upon J. Olin . r' Sanders for possession of the records j and keys to the sheriff's office of An-i derson county. The demand was re-L ^ fused and at present Anderson hasj^ 1 two sheriffs, both commissioned byj i tVio crnvtornnv 1; Mr. King entered the office and j "! greeted Mr. Sanders with a smile | j which was returned. "Olin, I've icome to make a formal-demand upon "jyou for the office. You know it is, 'necesary and what is meant by the} j demand. I hope there are no hard j; |feelings personally." | "I am responsible to the people of j: j Anderson for this office," replied Mr. h ? I I Sanders, "and I will only give it up j ' jupon order of the courts. We'll have ' to let the courts decide. There are ^ I ertainly no hard feelings on my part J at all." 1 # That was practically the co.iversa^ tions of the two sheriff's when they net, and the office formally demand c!. Mr. King was accompamea ny ? vlr. Lee Brown, as witness to the fact 1 hat he made demand for the office. f . . Mr. King was commissioned by r Governor Cooper last week, and brought his commission to the office this morning, and following his conversation with Mr. Sanders asked j him if he wanted to see it, Mr. King laving the commission rolled in a >aper. Mr. Sanders replied that he did, and Mr. King unrolled the paper .nd displayed its contents to Mr. Sanders. ^ Mr. King left the office, smiling nd saying that the courts would 1 e lave to decide, leaving Mr. Sanders < till in charge. 1 Anderson now nas two snerms, r >oth appointees of Governor Cooper, j t .nd both holding commisison under 1 i- his signature.

The order from the supreme ou^t is the last step and from which here is no appeal. If this order is granted, Sheriff Sanders has no appeal and must vacate the office. BOYS' PEANUT CLUBS. Clemson College, Feb. 14.?"The boy is naturally an investigator and likes to discover new things and new ways of doing things," says B. .0. ^ Williams, Assistant Boys' Club Agent, who with this idea in mind is organizing Peanut Clubs, which will do much to help establish this new ... commercial crop and proper methods of growing it in South Carolina. The boll weevil spells diversification and 1nn mfiane 'noaiinte nc rm*? of the state's main cash crops in the future. Hence Peanut Clubs to teach practical profitable peanut growing ' vf to our future farmers. } '% The plan, as in Corn Club work, is to have the Club Boys' father offer him as good land, as is available, let him work under Club regulations to learn peanuts from A to Z for himself and incidentally for his father, tvho probably would not take time to trouble to do so for himself. Some of the lessons which will thus be taught are: (1) selection of peanut land with proper soil and Jrainage, (2) selection of varieties bests uited to land and markets, (3) preparation and fertilization of soil, (4) planting and cultuiial methods, * . (5) harvesting and marketing, (H) \eeping of data to show costs and profits. BONUS AND COMPULSORY SERVICE URGED BY LEGION Washington, Feb. 16?k bonus foe ex-service men and compulsory military training were announced as the principal aims of the legislative com mittee of which were here today for a series of a conferences with congress^ men. Franklin d'Olier, national commander of the legion, wa^' present t? direct the activities of the committee. The bonus issue, which was sidetracked after considerable agitation at the first annual convention of the legion in Minneapolis, through a-vote ' to leave the question to congress, last week was revived at national headquarters in Indianapolis. It will be claimed that on account of the / dilatoriness of congress, the legion was determined to press the matter by asking for a specific settlement by the government of a $50 bond for each month of service performed during the war. Such a bonus, it warestimated, woud cost the government approximately $1,900,000,000. The legion already has gone on record as favoring compulsory military training. One of the 3,000 Philippine Islands should be set apart as a "Re 1" colony, says Nicholas Murray Butler. An island should be selected ivhose climate is genial and whose oi is rich, and the co!or.i-t~ would be at liberty to try out their scheme* one upon another.
