That is a | question now of large interest, in view of the draft regulations which exempt state, county and municipal officials. The question of what constitutes a public officer under the state is discused in an opinion rendered today by Assistant Attorney General Sapp, in which he holds, in response to an inquired from Commissioner Watson, that inspectors and assistants of the department of agriculture, commerce and industry, appointed by the commissioner under various legislative acts which are set out. with powers to enforce the law, as public officers. The opinion is as follows: "Hon. E. J. Watson, Commissioner of Agriculture, Commerce and Industry, Columbia, S. C. "Dear Sir: Replying to your request of this date, in which you ask to bs advised whether or not the inspectors and assistants you are authorized to appoint under the provisions of section. 2433, Code of Laws of 1912, volume I, and under the terms of an act relating to the inspection of agricultural seed, approved the 27th day of February, 1914, and reported in 2S statutes at large, page 467, are public officers, I beg to advise that our Supreme Court, in the case of Sanders vs. Belue, 78 S. *C., 171, in defining a public officer, uses the following language: 'One who is charged by law with duties involving the exercise of some part of the sovereign power, either small or great, in the performance of which the public is concerned and which are continuing and not occasional or intermittent, is a public officer/ "Applying the above definition of a public officer, as laid/ down by our Supreme court, to the statutes above referred to I am of the opinion that the inspectors and assistants, which these statutes authorize you to appoint, and who are required to collect samples of agricultural seeds and forward them to the state laboratory for analysis, examine feed stuffs, and who are vested with all necessary powers for the execution of the duties and to note all violations of any of the provisions of the said sections and1 bring action in the proper courts for prosecution of violations, and to assist in the enforcement of the pure food and drug laws of the state, are" public officers. "Trusting this gives you the desired information, i am, "Yours very truly, "CLAUD N\ SAPP, "Assistant Attorney General." j Meeting1 Medical Society.

Says the Greenville Piedmont: "A i few local motorists who have no dim! mers on their headlights have im' provided a system of pasting paper I : over the lights, thus serving the purpose.
