IIAKl LOSES APPOINTMENT

McLeod OniitH Name of Edgefield
Man in laauing Coimninalon*
J. P. Hart of Edgefield, state con-!
. *l*bU, yesterday lujjt bu mnroiaoionj
UH a member of the state constabulary,
(Governor Thomas G. Mcl/eoi
acting yesterday morning to omit
Hurt's name in reappointing his state
constables for the new year.
The 11 remaining members of the
constabulary received commissions
for only the month of January and
will, therefore, be in office January
1H when John NcTNKjcharda becomes
chief executive Yrf the yitate. The commission*
dW revokabld by the governor
for any reason on no reason at
any time. j
Hurt waa one of several officers
accused by inmates of the Aiken jail
of complicity in the lynching October
8 of Bertha, Demon and Clarence
Cowman at Aiken. Governor McLeod
yesterday would not say, however,
thut these charges, denied by Hart,
had actuated him in his decision to
dispense with Hart's services* for the
remaining 17 days of his term.
The absence of Hart's name from
the list of appointments for the qew
year was, the governor admitted, due
to the fact that beginning with January
1 the Edgefield man is no longer
to be a member of the state constabulary.
"I huvc," he said, "decided for good
j and sufficient reasons not to reap;
point Hart.".
The nature of these "reasons" he j
did not care to reveal.
The charges against Hart, pre-!
fcrred by Mrs. Lucy Mooney, who was)
being held in the Aiken jail, as a
' witness for the state in a liquor case,
i never tried, were published by the
i New York World in its issue of No|
i vember r>, a month after the lynching,
and while Governor McLeod was
himself engaged in directing a "thorough
inquiry" into the lynching.
Hart, his attention called to the allegations
published by The World, denied
the charge brought against him,
declaring that he spent the night of
the lynching at Edgefield, his home,
and not at Aiken.
Since the publication of the charges
and his denial Hart has continued in
the state service and yesterday as a '
state constable participated in a |
series of liquor raids.
Hart had been a member of the j
state constabulary for something over
four years,' having first been appointed
by Governor WiUon G. Harvey and
k then reappointed by Governor McJ
Leod. v
The governor's order reappointing
the 11 constables and omitting the
name of Hart, was delivered yester;
day morning to the office of the see;
retary of state.
The commissions are "to enforce
the laws of the state during the
month of January, 1927," the 11 reappointed
being: ,
T. J. Smyrl of Columbia, T. A.
Berley of Columbia, J. L. Poppenheim
of Charleston, H. L. Bell of Greenville,
W. W. Rogers of Columbia, J.
W, Sanders of Ulmer, T. J. Coleman
of .Columbia, S. M. Henry of Spar*
tanburg, L. A. Lown of New Brookland,
D. I. Young of Navy Yard and
J. B. Munn of Bethune.

Mill Executive I)ead.
Greenville, Jan. 3.?Thomas F. Parker,

and well known civic leader of Greenville,
died suddenly on a highway near
the city late Friday. Mr. Parker had
gone out motoring with a friend and
when wet roads were encountered
they attempted put tire chains on
the car. While working at this task,
Mr. Parker dropped dead, apparently
from heart failure. Mr. Parker was

Avery designers and inven< -rs are busy men.
They study implements, farm conditions, farmins
needs. Their goal is to make every Avery
implement the ideal implement for the purpoep-^-free
from any characteristic weakness.
They are the men responsible for most
Avery P/us Features. For example:
Harrow discs quite commonly come loose.
And a loose disc is terribly structivc. It
revolves on the gang bolt, chaws into the 3
I
metal and eventually cub the bolt fl
itself and usually the Barrow, In the Avery I I
Volcano Disc Harrow, Avery designers and H H
inventors discovered a way to keep discs tight.
It is simple, automatic. But it is very ingen
ious. The disc tightens itself^ Itnever comaa^ B H
loose. Thus n vital fault is ^ysreome. Nattirally,
it is a better harrowyisll est J*Jk*
Feature alone would make It mpre desirakle.
Yet there are half a dosen more which all help I
to insure faster, better, cheaper work. I
Avery flus Features Increase Your Profits II
Any Avery implement costs what good quality is worth. These I
