THURSDAY, APRIL 15TH, H2fi. THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA SHEALY WOULD SUCCEED HIMSELF of Announces . for Commissioner Agriculture, Commerce and Industries. James VV. Shealy announced today that he will be in the race to succeed himsfclf as Cormriissione'r...of Agricul ture, Commerce and industries. It will be recalled that Mr. Sh|aly made the campaign for Commissioner of Agriculture two years ago, which was his first appearance i" t-bp poll.

The Ballot Box or Courts tical field, and received a very flatter ing vote. Upon the death of the late Commissioner B. Harris',' Mr. Shealy was appointed to- fill the unexpired term and is now asking for the full term. ; ' t Mr. Shealy is now and has been all of his life an actual farmer, owning and "operating his own farm near Ballentine. He is regarded as of the progressive type of farmer and has met with more than usual suc cess as a farmer and business man. Mr. Shealy is in the prime of life and has the reputation of possessing un limited energy and an unusual degree of practical judgment. Mr. Shealy stated:—“That it wiU- y Arthur Brisbane WHO KNOWS? :~T": THE PRINCESS’ 50-50. A DEAR UTILE DOG. ELECTRIC CHAIREOR“F£NCES’ In old age, as their hold on life becomes feeble, men turn to an other world and future life. Sir Oliver Lodge, a scientist and an old man, is criticized by fellow members 'of the Royal Society because of his belief in spiritu alism. In a dignified reply Sir Oliver offers to resign trom the society, if his presence there is not wanted. s So. we can’t sue the Highway De partment. Judge S. W. G. Shipp, presiding over the current U>rm of Court of Ctommon Plea* for Richland County, has upheld a demurrer offered by the State, and thereby ruled that indi viduals cannot bring suit against the State Highway Department for dam ages. Attorneys for the State High way Commission took the position that under the Constitution a suit can be brought against the State only byspecial aurhority granted by the Legislature, and the Highway Com-' mission being a department of the State Government ^A^lereby held to be immurte to law suits and damago suits. Thus is created a precedent for South Carolina, Xulgo Shipp’s ruling being farreachingX and dangerous since it serves, unless the case in ouestion should he applied to the Supreme Giurt and the the lower court reversed, t<\fuith.?r bulwark bureaucracy in this l^tate. The effect of the decision is to further divest citizens of their, constitutional nights, sustaining the super-govern- ment that has grown up in Sou'h Carolina and placing it entirely b hold of bureaucracy, indicating that the people must suffer in silence or assert themselves in no uncertain teims, upholding their rights and striking a blow in self-protection with whatever weapon they can find that might prove effective, since-'it be comes painfully api>arent that their rights are no longer safeguarded by the Legislature and since bureau cracy cannot be reached either through the ballot-box or through the court*.—--SeuPb Double Pond Dots. . ^ RIaekville, April 12.—The regular preaching services were held Sunday afternoon by Mr. Hiers, of the Car lisle Courtney Home of Columbia.

They are creations of the Legislature, nb provision made for them in the Constituton of the State, and why the Constitutional provision that that actions at law cannot be brought against the State should be held to appjy to these statutory boards, bureaus and com- •: missions is somewhat beyond' the understanding of the - common sense lay mind. In the case of the Tax Commission, extraordinary powers have already been conferred upon this bureau, or have been arbitrarily assumed by it. The Tax Commission is .drunk with power, legislative, administrative and iudcial. Persons charged by the State Tax Commission with violations of the tax laws are already denied the privilege of going before magis trates in their own counties, and in stead of being accorded court trials as for any other offenses charged against them as citizens, are haled before the tribunal of the Tax Com mission in Columbia and made an swerable there. The legislature at its recent session failed to safeguard the rights of the citizen in this re spect, the House doubtless acting at the behest of the Tax Commission, which apparently exercised a power ful influence in that brar.-cb, slaying the Hamilton Bjll which; providing for magistrate trials for offenders against the tax laws, had passed the Senate by a vote of 28 to 1.
