RIOMOVAIJ POWER NOT VESTER In (iovernor-llucknl>oo ls Reinstat ed ns Kershaw Sheriff. Holding thai the 'Legislature was without power to authorize the In definite suspension of a sheriff for neglect of ofllcial duty, the Supreme Court last week, in a unanimous de cision, ordered tho reinstatement of W. W. iluckabee as sheriff ol Ker shaw county. Mr. H ii ck a bee was suspended several months ago by Cover dor Manning on the charge that he had refused lo enforce Hie whiskey laws.. Isaac C. Hough W.I ? appointed to succeed Mr. Huckaheo by Governor Manning. "The result is that tho Governor." concludes tho opinion, "had no power lo suspend or remove the pel it ii nor or to appelai tho defendant in his place. "Tho judgment of this coull ia thal the attempted suspension of the | e lllloner and tho appointment of the defendant, lb.ugh, in his place were without authority of law and of no effect, and that tho petitioner is en titled to exe rc se tho duties of bis of fice of sheriff of Kershaw county.'" The opinion was written by Asso ciate Justice Hydrlck and concurred in by Hie othoi lour justices of the court. Recital of Eventa. The following facts are set forth preceding the Court's opinion: "The petitioner. \V. W. 'Iluckabee, was eloctod sheriff of Kershaw coun ty at the general election on Novem ber r>, 1912, and was commissioned on January I, 191 ?1, for a term of four years. On April 20, 10'.;"? after notice and a hearing, bis Excellency, the Governor, found, from the evi dence adduced at the bearing, that said sheriff bad neglected and re fused to on.orce the law regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors In this cornily, and suspended bis from of fice until the end of his present tenn. "On June 25, ?015, tho Governor appointed and commissioned thc de fendant, Hough, as sherill* of saul county. In place of petitioner. Tb.s action was brought (o lest the leg il lty ol* lluckahee's suspension, as well as the righi of Hough to perform thc duties of the ellice." Point* of Diff?rence. "In McDowell vs. Burnett, the dif ference between suspension and re moval of officers was pointed out: 'One is the mere temporary with drawal of the power lo exercise the dulles* of an office; the other is a complete and final deprivation of olli clal tenure.' In thal ease, and also in State vs. (tharne, il was held that the eon ?'erring of the power of sus pension mpliedly denies the power of remov? I. The two things are es sentially different, and are attended by difieren! consequences, both to the officer and to tho public. Remo val creates a vacancy in the office which may bo filled itt once In the manner prescribed by law j suspen sion creates no vncancy, and where there is no provision of law for some other lo perform tho duties ol' the office h. 'empornry appointment, or otherwise, wo would have an office and an officer, but no one lo dis cbarge (he duties of the olfico, to the groat inconvenience of the public for whose benofil the office was created. Hence, the reason ls apparent why the framers of the constitution placed greater limitation and restrictions upon the power of suspension than tbev did upon tho power of removal, and why. in tho genoral grant of the power of suspension and also In tho special cases in which it is allowed they made suitable provision for the performance of the duties of tho of fice by some oilier officer or by a tem porary appointee during (he Buspen sion. "In the caso before us the statute attempts to authorize Indefinite sus pension, not temporary suspension as a step In and Incident to removal; and lt makes no provision for the performance of the dillies of Hie of fice during the suspension. As we have seen, the Governor is without powor to appoint any one to dis charge the duties of the office in the place of a shorlff who ls merely sus pended. While the suspension until MARR NITRATES AT GT. FALLS. Substance Placed on Salo Saturday. Urcul Industry Promised.

"2. On fertile soil, an application per acre of from 300 to GOO pounds ol' a mixture composed of 1,2(10 pounds of 10 per cent acid phosphate, 650 pounds of cotton seed meal, and 150 pounds ol' nitrate ol' soda should give good results.
