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

A ?OUT USE OF FERTILIZERS.
Recommendations and Suggestions
for Piedmont) Count h's.
Clemson College, Dec. 29.-In view
of the abnormal condition of the fer
tilizer market, South Carolina farm
ers, who are among tho nation's prin
cipal users of commercial fertilizers,
have been at a loss to know what to
plan about their plant food for next
year. Tho extension division of
Clemson Colloge has issued a bulletin
in "Buying and Using Fertilizers," by
T. BJ, Keitt, chemist of tho experiment
station, lt ls Bulletin No. 17 of the
Farmers' Beading Course, and may
be had by any one who writes for iL
to tito extension division.
\a an example of tho helpful in
formation contained in tills little bul
letin, the recommendations for Pied
mont soils are quoted below:
"1. For poor to ordinary land an
application per acre of from 200 to
4 00 pounds of a mixture composed
of 1,000 pounds ol' 10 per cent acid
phosphate. 800 pounds of 7 per cent
cotton seed meal, and 200 pounds of
nitrate of soda is recommended. This
mixture should analyze 8.8 lier cent
available phosphoric acid, nitrogen
equivalent to 1.0 per cent ammonia,
and enough potash will be furnished
by the cotton seed meal to give the
mixture a content of 0.6 per cent
potash.
"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. This mixturo
should analyze 10.25 per cent phos
phoric acid, nitrogen equivalent to
3.63 por cent ammonia, and 0.49 per
cent potash."
