THURSDAY, JAN. 20,1921. Nothing that The Herald could say would raise the estimation in which Mr. J. F. Carter is held by the people of Bamberg county, for he is alJ ? t 1 J -? V? i crVi oof ocl TCiiUy IltJIU ill Liic uj the people of his home county, who know him well. Mr. Carter's name will he placed before the legislature for successor to the late and lamented Supreme Court Justice D. E. Hydrick. If the legislature elects Mr. Carter to this position, it will make no mistake, as all wrho know him are well aware. He is a man of undoubted legal ability, a thorough gentleman in every respect. His legal record is one of which any lawyer might well be proud. Although a Christian gentleman of unusual dignity, Mr. Carter posseses nothing of j that stiffness which often precludes Intimacy. All in all, The Herald frankly says it cannot think of a man whom it considers better qualified for the honorable place of supreme court justice. ^ io? ? i Nothing will do more to promote ihft rfilations between the white and -colored people than the actions of the negroes in Calhoun county last week, when - a negro boy shot and killed a white man, against whom he had a grudge, and wounding his wife and baby and a neighbor who was calling on the young farmer at the time. Throughout the search for the murderer, according to Sheriff Hill, of Calhoun county, the colored people not only did not interfere wKh j the efforts of the officers, but, on the contrary, rendered them every assistance in capturing the fugitive. In fact, it was through information given Sheriff Hill by colored men that the hoy was finally located. There is never anything to be gained by the colored people shielding a member of their race when a crime is committed*. No doubt this action on the / t /part of the negroes was an incentive to the officers to put forth every effort to protect the boy from the enraged citizens, who might have not dealt leniently with him if they had gained possession of the negro when outraged feeling was running high. The officers are to be com fho cnpppssfnl manner in liiCUUCU 1U A vuv which they handled the case, and it it felt that the law has been fully vindicated by both whites and blacks, ?o far as it lies in their hands. The negro should have a speedy trial and such justice as he is entitled to meted out without delay. ? >?> -<? LONE STAR NEGRO IX PENITENTIARY (Continued from page 1, column 3.) arrived at the penitentiary about 2:30 o'clock. Members of the party described the crime as being one of the most dastardly ever committed in Calhoun -county. It seems that the negro, who is a dark ginger cake colored boy, had stolen some meat from Mr. Wad, ford, a young farmer, ana had later admitted his guilt to Mr. Wadford. This is said to have occurred early in the week. Wednesday night Fogle appeared at the Wadford home and called Mr. Wadford to the door, asking the young farmer for a match, it is said. Mr. Wadford turned his back to the negro and as he did so Fogle opened tire on mm wim a single barrel shotgun, killing Mr. Wadford almost insiantly. Leg Shot Off. Corbett Zeigler, a neighbor who , happened to be at the Wadford home I at the time, together with Mrs. Wad- j ford, rushed to the assistance of the fallen man. As Mr. Zeigler and Mrs. j Wadford were in the act of placing! Mr. Wadford on a led the negro iired ! again, this time through a window, the entire load taking effect in Mr. Zeigler's right thigh. Fogle then reloaded his gun and fired on Mrs. Wadford, a number of shot hitting her and 20 shot talcing effect in the lour months old baey. Neither Mrs. Wad-ford nor the baby are thought to bo seriously hurt, Sheriff Hill said. Fogle, alter shooting at Mrs. Wadtord, reloaded his gun twice and shot both loads through the window, neither - taking effect on any of the o.cupams cf the house. The negro men luxi and remained in hiding iii.ili he w.as located in the smail house about s x miles from t.e scene o: the shooilng, which was near Lone Star, Callioua county. Mr. Zeisier was brought to Columbia where his right leg was amputated Thursday. His condition last night was reported to be critical. Sheriff Hill was high in his praise of the three negroes who aided him and his men. Capture of Fogle would have been much more difficult if these negroes had not aided him. The slier ; iff also praised the negroes of the community for their assistance, al members of the race offering to dc anything possible to help capture Fo gle. A large number of white people also assisted the sheriff, he said many of them giving valuable aid tc the officers. Sheriff Hill said automobiles were scouring the country for Fogle, but at no time was any trouble between the races expected. "We had help from both races and I am proud of the men who aided me, Sheriff Hill said. Cooper Praises Hill. Sheriff Hill's courageous work was commented upon widely yesterday afternoon and last night. Governor Cooper was high in his praise of the -.cc < T nonnnt fftmmcmrl v^ainuun oiuuei. * Sheriff Hill too highly for the splendid and courageous manner in which he performed a dangerous and delicate duty," Governor Cooper said. "I feel in justice to Sheriff Hill that I should publicly thank him for his efforts and brave work. The majesty of the law is safe in his hands." Governor Cooper also commended the action of the negroes in giving the sheriff aid and the white people for their part in seeing that the law | took its course. Sheriff Dukes was also commended for his assistance and the governor was pleased with the work of all officers and men arresting the negro. Biff. "Now, there's your husband coming, Mrs. Candour," said Mr. Funniman. "Let's make a little surprise for him. Mrs. Funniman and I will hide behind the curtains here and you can tell him that the expected guests haven't come. Then we will step out and surprise him." (Enter Mr. Candour. Mrs. Candour obeying orders.?"Well, John, rmr cruckofo v, ftuvmo LXCi. v Uioappuillicu US. .VI1. and Mrs. Funniman haven't arrived." "I'm glad of it," responded Mr. Candour heartily.
