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 1 ? ai Young Venetian Girl w Looatea Hidden Springs si Rome, Oct. 6.?Augusta Del Pic <J| Luogo, a beautiful young girl of ' Venice, is looking forward to a period c' of profitable and 'pleasant employ- w mient. Italy is particularly interests ed just now in two things, the Iocs* tion of petroleum, for all the world Svants oil, and the finding of water, r' tfor the dreughtNof the past two suns-mers is said-to be but the beginning of a long dry spell.

THE , :j .} . ;i i n iniiitHinitiHi t i m i i , 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.?
