That Governor Cooper was fully ' within his executive authority in re- : moving J. Olin Sanders, sheriff of 1 Anderson county, for alleged immoral > conduct, was the opinion of the State 1 Supreme Court handed down last Friday at Columbia. ' C. G. King, appointed by Governor 1 Cooper when the ouster proclamation > was issued January 23, 1920,, will sue- ' ceed Sanders. The dismissal of Sanders grew out 3 of charges preferred by a policeman ] of Anderson, who alleged that he J caught Sanders and the policeman's 1 wife in a compromising position on ' ifi 1019. After a hearine on !( tfce matter Governor Cooper decided j that the accused official had not j made a sufficient showing and he i ousted him. When C. G. King demanded the office of sheriff he was refused by Sanders and the former then appeared before Chief . Justice Gary on I ? March 6, and the jurist issued an or- j1 der against Sanders to show cause in j1 the original jurisdiction of the Su- j' preme court on March 30 why the'1 proclamation of the Governor should j > not be enforced. When the case!1 came up the jurisdiction of the court < waa contested by the attorneys of 1 Sanders, who claimed that sufficient * time, as allowed by law, had not elapsed for their client to make his 5 answer. This position was sustained ? by the court and the case was post- > poned until April 20. when it was 1 beard. 1 The lengthy opinion, which was < written by Justice Hydrick, and con- 1 ?jmnpd in hv the other members of the * tribunal, embodies a number of cita- ' tions &nd takes the position that the < executive has the right to remove one of the appointees from office for cause. o Newspapers Hard^Hit. < The New York World of Saturday 1 carried a full page advertisement from the New York Evening Journal 1 which is probably Mr. Hearst's most important newspaper property, announcing an increase in price to three cents. Some time ago the Evening 1 Journal doubled its price, jumping from one cent to two cents. It an- 1 nounces that the increased cost of ( publication forces it to make another 1 raise now. Most of the other afternoon papers in New York are still two cents, but it is probable that 1 they will have to follow the Eveni-^ ( Journal's example. White paper in the open market is worth six times ' as much as it was a comparatively 5 abort time ago. The price is still * n'cincr ?nd it is hard to get. All over ' the country newspapers are jumping ( rates to meet soaring costs. In De- 1 troit last week the papers made fifty per cent increases.?News and Courier o 1 Tobacco Plant at Georgetown. r 1 On Wednesday the Georgetown Tobacco Warehouse company gave out . the contract for the erection of a stemming plant on the lot adjoining the ware house owned by this company to Mr. H. P. Little, of Conway. The building will be 60 x 200 feet and con- , atructed of wood. Work will commence at once in order to have the building completed for this season's tobacco crop. The John R. Hughes Tobacco company, who have leased the building and will put the stemmery in, will have buyers on all of the markets in Eastern Carolina and will ship their tobacco here to be stemmed. Thi-i will mean that the Georgetown market will be developed considerably due to this fact.?Georgetown Times. A Happy Man. In one of the farces dear to the days of our childhood, quest was j made far and wide for a really hap-; 1 py man. He could not be located s among the wealthy or powerful or f any of the seeming favorites of for- ? tune, and when he was finally run to; t earth, he was found to be a jovial11 member of the proletariat and the j 1 possessor neitherof a stiver nor a 11 shirt. 1 In these troublous times of dissat- t isfaction, turbulence and unrest, of > r inflated currency and exhorbitant j taxes, of high prices and low morals, j t one would imagine that a search for a t happy* man would be made in vain; 1 and yet, wonderful to relate, such a j \ one does actually emerge into view, i or at least half-view and from a most's unlikely quarter. The name of this j j [iaragon is destined to remain unher- ] aided, for in his present piace of 1 abode he is simply known by a num-, 'J iter and he further conceals his iden- t tity under the nom de guerre of i i '.Moonlight Harry, a wielder of the 1 jimmy." Imitating the immortal Mr.: . Snagsby in not putting too fine a 1 point on it. let us say at once that [1 his claimant to perfect happiness is ' J Convict N'o. 70763. and that his more j or less temporary habitat is Sing' ( Sing prison, in New York, where he! i is serving a term of from five to ten \ rears. ? In a recent number of the Sing > Sing Bulletin, Moonlight Harry rhap- ' sodizes gleefully on the topic, "The 1 Joy of a Carefree Life of a Man 1 in Prison." In "The Pirates of Pen- t " fVio coro-pnnt tells US that \ MWV-V, MIV when the enterprising burglar's not i a-burgling he feasts his eyes and t ears on gurgling books and other de- i lightfui sights and sounds of woodland scenery, but he has nothing on i the wielder of the jimmy who is just g now incarcerated in Sing Sing. After i recounting the joys and splendors of g a restricted life, of utter freedom t from- earthly care, of responsibilities i reduced to a minimum, Moonlight t Harry, firmly in the belief that stone- t walls do not a prison make nor iron g aars a cage, shudders at the thought i )f freedom, and thus launches forth: Say not to me that I must forego these inside pleasures and be j' again compelled to pick up the cudgel and strike with might and ' ^ main for a mere existence in a 1 j world where selfishness reigns , supreme. At all events the first of the month ' y with its sheaf of bills has no terrors \ f-8 for him, he is not afraid to look his i c jutcher. his baker, his grocer, his tai- j s or or his landlord in the eye; he is j mmune from the wiles of the book j igent or the advances of a peddler v * * - 'In nnt unri'V 21 insurance, uv ??v? ^ iim nor problems vex. He is. if any- J. hing, too well off. i Yet does not freedom count for ^ something? Life with its many re-" j sponsibilities and anxieties and cares ^ s sweetened by freedom and it is, af- , :er all. but a poor phylosophy which alues as naught that crowning jewel >f man's earthly existence. Convict ^ S"o. 70763 to the contrary notwith ^ standing, it may be laid down as ax- ^ omatic that where there is no freeiom there is no real happiness. o b Wells Reclaim Desert. 0 li How the farmers of Southern Utah P ire conquering the Escalante Desert i' md converting it into a region of t "ertility, is now being told the traveler s iding to California as he looks from >' he window of his Pullman. 0 Eleven years ago a settlement was a ormed, about 18 miles east of Mode- ^ la, known as Enterprise. The sturdy * armers established themselves at the l nouth of a great canon, doing so be- 8 cause they could build there, a few c niles from their town, a large catch- 8 >asin reservoir designed to impound * the flood-water drainage from the t mountains above. Following the completion of the reservoir they put t jnder successful cultivation some c >,000 acres on the edge of the Escalinte Desert. The soil was very rich md today shade and fruit trees and t ijreat alfalfa fields bear silent, but ^ ;loquent testimony of success. But always as a cloud upon the prospect kvas the fear of a year of drought. * rhis fear materialized last year, with its unusually dry season and greatly diminished crops. Late in the summer the farmers determined to prosfnr an underground water flow, with the result that a dozen successful wells have been bored disclosing the existence of a wonderful water supply lying upon some impervious stratum deep in the soil along the edge of the desert. o Fishing is always good five miles further on.
