(Adv.) 51 Judge Rules in Favorj of Chairman Hearon m Hpartauhurg, Jun. 11.?Circuit Judge C. C. Featherstoue of Greenwood tiled u decision here today reversing Governor Olin Johnston's removal of Chairman C. O, Hearon of Spurtuuburg front the state highway commission on every count. The couuts and the judge's disposluf th^nt follow in brief , 1. Paying the salary of Chief Cowmlssloner Ben M. Sawyer after it was vetoed?"I am clearly of the oplulmi that the law gave the state highway commission the right to tlx the salaw of the chief highway commissioner, and to direct its payment." 2. and 3. Permitting alteration of bids for the purchase of oil?"The testimony convinces me. clearly that the purpose of those in charge of the bidding was to get the most advantageous contracts for the state." 4. Hiring trucks from I. C. Harrison of Greenwood at an excessive rental per hour and paying all expenses ?"His excellency, the governor did not carefully read the contract, or, perhaps, he has it confused in some way with some other matter. The evidence in the case shows very strongly that the owner of the trucks really received too little for his rent." 5. Mailing advertising matter for General Motors Corporation in offlcal communications?"There is no evidence to sustain the charge and no admission of any misconduct on the part of the respondent with regard thereto." 6. Failure to take advantage of annual contracts for the purchase of gasoline and fuel used on federal projects?"* * the state highway department had ? to yield to the rules and regulations of the federal bureau of roads. Surely, the respondent and no one else connected with the state highway department may be found guilty of misconduct in office in following the rules and regulations of the federal government * * 7. Refusing to seat four Johnston appointees to the highway commission ?"Under the decision of the supreme court, if these appointees had been allowed to sit on the commission, they would have had no valid title to the office. It appears to me that In the circumstances of grave doubt existing as to the rights of the governor's appointees to become members of the commission, the respondent, and the other commissioners, did the right thing when they agreed to let the courts determine this very important question." 8. Nepotism?"I do not see how the language of the nepotism statute could be construed In any way so as to hold that it had been violated by the commissiohers." 9. Shipping freight over a railroad owned by a commissioner?"It does not appear that the state or the state highway department lost a single penny because of these shipments. * the state highway commission had nothing to do with the matter." 10. Transacting highway business by telegraph?"The evidence does not show, that the state or the highway department suffered any loss whatever on account of this manner of conducting some of the business of the commission." Concluding, Judge Featherstone said: "Under the law I cannot reach any other conclusion than the one thht governor, sitting as a judicial officer, has committed an error of law in ordering the removal of the respondent, for I do not And that there is any evidence in the record to sustain either one of the charges of misconduct, alleged by the governor against the respondent."

Dennis reversed Governor Olin Johnston's order reiuovluK John C. lietheu, of Dillon, from the Htate highway commission Friday and ordered him reinstated as a commissioner. Judge Dennis overruled all ten count* of misconduct filed ugalnst (he commissioner by the governor on an appeal brought by liethea. He commented, "To my miud, the testimony unqualifiedly sustains the answer and yeply-oF the appellaut here." 4jfudge Dennis, in an order filed with tfe^fclerk of court of Dillou county, l^t^ea's home, said the commissioner wavAin unusual example of an efficient,' interested, honest and intelligent public servant and deserves the commendation of all intelligent citizens." Viewing the highway commission as a board of directors empowered to "formulate general police of the department within the law," the jurists held that liethea had not violated the law In various business transactions cited by the governor, including the paying of Chief Commissloifbr Ben Sawyer's salary after Johnston vetoed it. Upon a charge tliut the commissioner. "wrongfully accepted" $16.20 in expense money, the judge declared, "there is not a suggestion of bad faith in the testimony and everyone who knows Mr. Bethea knows that he is a gentleman of Integrity, and It is with deep pleasure that 1 cau fully vindicate him In thlB matter." 'J/ke order concluded, "It is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed that the finding and ruling of the governor in removing appellant from office is hereby severaed and he is to be entitled to be forthwith restored to his office and the duties thereof."

Harper, assistant county agricultural agent of Shelby county, Tenn., agent in charge of cotton control Is continuing to disburse AAA parity checks of from $6 to $1,000 to farmers of that county.

The quick, convenient type of personal cornmuni- ] cation that the telephone alone affords is now depended on in so many ways and is so intimately associated with every phase of daily business and social life, that to stop the service would mean sudden, drastic changes in the national mode of living. Enforcement of law and order would be dangerously handicapped, business would be slowed up with i resultant losses and the basic structure of our social j * life would be upset. ?. ' ; In fact this service is so essential to our present ! ways of living and doing business that assurance of the continuance of its high standard of quality and dependability are matters of first importance to every one. The more than twenty-five billion local and long distance calls made annually are evidence of the importance and usefulness of die service to the Nation. Such widespread and general use is evidence also that the Bell System is rendering a service satisfactory to the public in quality and cost. : This high state of telephone development and usage is the result of sound management, an army of highly trained workers, and years of rcscaicli and?' invention by the Bell Telephone Laboratories. Every unit of the Bell System has been designed to contribute toward furnishing the best, most depend able and extensive service possible at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety. ^ ' ^ -O -- i--. -r-r ? - f.
