c KING MADE DEMAND

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."

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

t .nd both holding commisison under 1

sheriff, it is understood, will be to
apply to the supreme court of South
Carolina for a mandamus, or order
from the court removing Sheriff Sanders.
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.
