Governor Harvey Highly Com mended. Did we ever have such a governor? I ant 80 years old plus, and Tm sure I never have. When he makes ? dive he brings up the meat cf the old bones. Why constables have to make their weekly reports to him, something new under the sun. He would let one Turner choose his time to serve his sentence, if he did have a crop to gather. Didn't his lawyers have a lot of cheek? Don't you think it would have been a good thing if the gov ernor had used the meat axe oir"their necks? v . * \ We have the best governor the State has had in years. He stands, four-square for the enforcement of the law and has high regard for the verdicts of the jury and the sentence of the court. That also is something1 new under the sun. Governor Harvey knows h ow to do things. H,e is becoming a terror to the evil doers. He don't fail to comb the woods and briar patches for the boot . leggers. He is, every inch a man from spur, to plume. He is* doing his duty unafraid. He sees that the gates' of the peni tentiary are closed day and night, j notice in the "Charleston-American" of September 12, 1922, that Mr, Blease says that South Carolina has written a( record of crime and law lessness that has robbed,her of her] right place a mong the states of the union. But he don't say why the begin ning of this crime wave was. When he, as governor.of the state raised the lid of the State prison and turn ed loose 1,708 criminals. That is why! Governor Harvey, is af ter all violators of law like a hungry wolf on. a heat ed trail, and never fails to get their scalp. He is laying 'the foundation upon which the governor elect must build. Our governor doesn't listen] much to petitions for pardons. The beauty about his administration is he doesn't blow any trumpets. When ?he says go get that violator of the law and put him back in the "pen,' it is ..done. Yes, these old dry bones that have been disturbing the peace and dignity of our state and county have never had such-a shake-up as they are getting from our chief ex ecutive. He is the man of the hour. We are beginning to let go the wil lows at the bank and getting out in the swim. So mote it be.v God bless .Governor Harvey! In my estimateion he ranks "next to Woodrow Wilson. I am glad the editor of The Ad-? vertiser said just what ie did about the judges. This is not the first time that Judge Rice has ripped the jury up the back. I admit that in many cases the jury fails to convict. But how many hundr?ds of cases where the jury has agreed upon verdicts of guilt,^and a lawyer jumps up and asks the court for an appeal, and in almost every easel it is granted, and then put off from month to month. Finally the criminal walks out of the court room as free as a jack rabbit in a briar patch. The truth of the matter is just this: The laxity of the law lies within the bar of the court. This everlasting putting off cases, so many technicalities almost to the dotting of an "i," or the crossing of a "t." Judge Rice said "All the judges can do is to give a-fair trial." But/it is the judge who fixes the penalty. It is often the case when a jury finds a man guilty of violation of^the pro hibition law he will get a light sen tence, say a $100 fine. That same bootlegger will jump over the high grass behind the briar patch and make is 2100 fine by gray dawn the next morning and laugh at the sen- j tence of the . court. As a general thing the sentence is not severe enough, and of ten it is the case that part of1 the sentence is sus pended. When. a mari tramps under his dusty feet the laws of the state, he should be made to pay for it to the limit. He should be clothed with convicts' stripes and armed with pick and shovel on the highways. The fellow that hides a gun in his ?hip pocket should serve the state in stripes to the full limit of the law. I do hope the legislature will pass a law not to allow* any criminal to pay for his crime in money. I repeat, that one of- the greatest causes of the laxity of the law is that the laws are not properly exe cuted. These everlasting appeals and putting off cases from one court to' another is a travesty an. justice. But if Peter's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, is excuse enough! J. RUSSELL WRIGHT.
