Police Made Happy by
General Russall j*
>
Port Au Prince, Haiti, Oct. .?A *f
threatened strike of the capital's po- ?
lice force has been avertdfr through ^
the intercession of the American **
High Commissioner, Brig. Gen. John ^
H. RusseU.
A rumor that their pay was to be ^
reduced one dollar per month brought
Haiti's finest, so their letter to Commissioner
RusseU ran, to the dire al- <<v
ternative of being deprived of their &
''perfumer, hairdresser. and barber," *>5
or going out on strike. The present $
pay, the letter complained, was so insufficient
that it was necessary "we l?>
should have women who give us *r
food." The letter ended with the ^
appeal, "We hope, General, that like Jp
a good father, you will take pity on
J^pur devoted children; we hope for ?
justice for our plaint in the presence V
of the whole world." , b?
An investigation was promptly w'
ordered through General Douglas G.
McDougal, Chief of the Gendarmerie, 91!
| under whom the police function. This ?*
| showed that the rumored reduction *
had originated in the mind of a po- t*
[ lieeman who had been fined one dol- m'
: lar for a dirty rifle. As to the com- W(
plaint about food, it was found that ^
since the police had been placed on a
balanced ration, the average gain in|?f
weight for the 230 members of the m<
force had been nine pounds in the ce
first month.
Reassured by the High Commis- m:
sioner, the police are patrolling their 011
beats and regulating traffic, well *5
coiffured and redolent with their fa- ot
Vorite brands of perfume, and Haiti's th
capital slumbers peacefully at night. ^
Colonial Council of gl
St. Thomas Dissolved th
Bq Admiral Kittelle *h(
Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas, V.
I., Oct. 6.?Differences of opinion ^
ion arising over a council committee
report on a new judiciary bill have ^
caused a political situation in the m,
Virgin Islands which is causing a f0
Considerable amount of local com- va
ment.
The situation became so acute early j?t
in September that Rear Admiral vo
Sumner E. W. Kittelle, retiring Gov- p,
emor of"the Islands and personal rep- wj
resentative of the President of the ra
United States, issued a proclamation WJ
dissolving the Colonial Council of y)n
St. Thomas and St. John and an- m,
nouncing that elections would be held ^
for the selection of new council mem
bers. Admiral Kittelle, who had been g(l
ordered back to Bea duty as com- ge
mander of the destroyer division of re
the Atlantic Fleet before the differences
ahose, will be succeeded in the
Virgin Islands by Captain H. H, ; <
Hough, U.? N.
- The chief cause of the misunder- g,
Standing seems to have arisen over
a paragraph in the council commit- * j
tee report concerning the judiciary, ?
which was submitted late in August.
The section to which Governor Kit- di
telle took exception was as follows: uj
"We do not deem it advisable for
one judge to sit and determine sppeal'cases
passed upon by a coordin- w
ate judge. It is to be expected, and ?i
and we know it is the practice for If
judges of coordinate rank to sustain
each other, and especially would this
be true here where each judge would
be sitting on the other's cases. We
are afraid it would resolve itself into (U
a demonstration of the old adage, ^
'You scratch my back and I will
scratch yours.'" -n
Commenting upon this paragraph p]
in his proclamation, Governor Kit- a<
4..11. ;j it. - Ji- ?a -i 1 -
leue aaiu msi iv renecceu upon ia? t<
honesty of judges and inferred that cl
they would sustain each other's de- ti
cisions "without regard to law or r?
justice or their oaths of office." It
The proclamation dissolving the m
council was based on a refusal of the pi
councilman to meet, it is stated, and N
on the ground that no quorum could
be obtained. > ri

Orchards on the Farm
If there is any one thing badly
leeded as an adjunct to successful
liversificd farming in Darlington
Ounty, it is to immediately remedy
he unpardonable neglect which has
lways been given to the planting of
rchards. t
It is remarkable that a fruit ex>ert
has not arisen in this county,
long with experts in the cultivation
f com, experts in developing pedigreed
seed, experts in banishing comnon
sows and scrub sires and substiuting
pure-bred Guernseys, Jerseys,
iolsteins and other pedigreed stock.
Among the high-class additions
vnich should be made to farming,
specially in this favored count.y,
rhere the higher degree of farming
$ of long and honorable lineage, the
>rchard stands pre-eminent. There
s no "form" in Darlington county
00 small to have some fruit trees
ncluded in its bill of fare; there Is
[o farm in the entire county which
an afford to neglect any longer all
he many advantages and benefits inluded
in an orchard. There is suf
icient "waste land" in this one pro ressive
county to supply all local dcnands
and then make large shipments
?f choice fruits to market.
For the immediate enciuragement
if interested ones who may not wish
o drag through a rather tedious edi- <5
orial, the success of one man may ,
?e referred to. This is an Abbeville ?
armer, and last week he made the f
tateanent that he would receive m
126 from two apple trees this year,
md that ha would make f600 from I
Ke two acres he had planted in fruit I
rees.
' Abbeville is a fine old county, but |
h the matter of farming Abbeville |
h not in the class with Darlington. II
ind yet this one instance cannot be ||
luplicated in Darlington county!
"Referring again to "waste land," |l
t is known that the lighter soils are |l
.he best for several varieties of II
"ruit, notably the peach. Reducing II
be cotton crop, and going into the
lusiness system known as diversified
"arming, has made many idle acres
n our county.
Planting forage utilizes much of
bis, but an orchard is a fine place to
jiniit iortt|ana mus assist in culivating
the orchard and thus assist
h cultivating the orchard and making
i larger yield. Recent activities in
:he "sand hills" of Chesterfield coun;y
should be more encouraging to all r
prospective fruit frowers.?Darling.
Lon News and Press.
The News and Courier is calling on
the press of the state to express lteelf
on the question of four-year
terms of the general assembly, and
vt the same time would like to hcai
what the press haa to say on the question
of every other year meetings of
the general assembly. The Herald
has long been an advocate of quatrennial
elections and biennial sessions
of the general assembly and it is ?
glad to see a newspaper of The News
and Courier's standing lending lis
support to these progressive movements.
A governor cannot accomplish
much in two years. More than
half of his two-year term is gone before
he gets a firm grasp on the duties
and responsibilities of his office.
If it should so happen that a governor
is elected who uses the power
of his office to promote his political
f TT? -1
lu/mww n? DWM "UUCin, UUU<T
the four-year plan he would not have
this opportunity. And the same may
be said of a member of the general
assembly. The annual 40-day session
doesn't give him time to get on speaking
terras with half the other members
before he is in the throes of another
campaign for reelection. Nearly
all the progressive states in the union
have long since adopted the quadrennial
plan of electing governors and
members of the general assembly,
along with biennial sessions for
their legislatures, and it is somewhat
surprising that South Carolina
flings to a system that was out of
date a quarter of a century ago.?
