H. AULL. _DITOR Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. FRIDAY, OCTOBER z, 1905 Shall We Enforce The Law? Upon a report submitted by Chief Constble Hammett, Governor Hey ward will send constables into Pick ens county to suppress the illegal sale of liquor in'that county, and under the Brice bill, on the authority given him in that bill, will use funds resulting from the one half mill tax in paying the salary -.and expenses of the con stables. Mr. Hammett was also in Newberry in response to an order of Governor Heyward to investigate the situation in this county. He reported that in his judgment it was necessary to send con:stables to Newberry county as there were illegal whiskey sales here., especially in the rural district. G3vernor Heyward, however, has held up the matter in this county for the present at the request of officers of the law and order league recently organized here. Of course he cannot act officially through them, but must act through the legally constituted iauthority, but if the law and order league, with the cooperation of the sheriff and magistrates and other law tofficers can suppress the illegal isale of whiskey, no-constable will be sent into this county. It is now up to our legal authorities and citizens to say whether or ndt the law shall be enforced in this county without the intervention of the state constables. :That there were illegal sales under de dispensary law, and that the il legal sales reorited are from the -same section "of the county, will be no excuse or reason for Governor Hey ward not sending constables here. They were here under the dispensary aw for the purpose of enforcing the law in either locality, and because they ' did not do it is no reaso'n why they should not 2nake the effort now.. They may not be able to enforce the law if they are'sent by the Governor, but it is his duty to make the effort to have ~ t en'forced; and the only way for him to do this, is iby sending state con stables'There, and using the one half mill tax provided: in the Brice bill to pay their salary and expenses. It is hoped that our people will be able to ~- enforce this law against the illicit sale. of whiskey without the aid ol st ate constables, and thus save the expenses. But will we do it? is :he question- we must answer, not in words, but by our action. -In speaking of "The 'Clansman' and the lesson which its auth'or says he intends it to teach and the warning to the white people to avert the re ~currence of such scenes as it depicts the Sumter News very aptly remarks: "We stand much more in need of a warning against the terrible state oi affairs into which we'will drift if the disregard of law which has been mak -ing itself so fearfully felt swithin the Iast few years, should continue. The 'drama shlould be wholesome, and this does not mean that .it should preach. The greatest master of the dramatic art, no matter what disaster befell the characters with which he dealt, always brought out hope at the end, and, without preaching, inculcated a wholesome lesson. No 'counterfeit presentment' has a right to appeal to emotions except for their purification Sand elevation." (We take up much space today in the publication of the account of the missing bonds from. the ;state treas urer's office. It is a matter near home and is 'of interest ;to all the people of 'the sta!te. The announcement of the loss of t5hese bonds in the manner in which it is claimed they were lost was a great surprise to the public as every one had the greatest confidence in Mr. Zimmerman. If the staltements of the losses as they appear now are correct we do not ibelieve the state treasurers s'hould be made to suffer the loss because regu larly appointed officials of the state checked up their books and declared MR. ZIMIERvMN SURENDERS He Gives Bond-DeCclines to Make a Statement-Had Never Left Columbia. Columbia, October 18.-Daniel Zim merman, who is charged with sub stituting ig state bonds, appeared be fore Magistrate McMaster this after noon at 5 o'clock and waived prelimi nary. The bond for his appearance at the trial was placed at $17,ooo and was signed by F. H. Weston and J. P. Matthews, of Columbia, and T. A. Amaker, a banker of St.4MatThew's. The bond states that Mr. Zimmerman 'will appear at the term of criminal court in this county the third 'Monday in February. Another interesting chapter is add ed to the story by the fact that Depu ty Sheriff Catchcart went up th( Charlotte road this afternoon with the warrant for the arrest of Mr. Zim merman, and that the sheriff was not noified by the magistrate of Mr. Zim merman's intention to surrender. The deputy sheriff acted on the statemeni of several people that Mr. Zimmermar had been seen to leave Columbia or the Charlotte train which leaves al 3:10. In the meantime, young Mr Daniel Zimmerman notified Magis trate McMaster that his father was ir the city and would appear at the office at 5 o'clock. Mr. Zimmerman, accompanied b3 his son, drove up to the-magistrate'9 office in a closed carriage and went ai once to the office of Mr. G. Duncar Bellinger, a few doors 'below, for z consultation. Mr. Bellinger had beer engaged only two hours before. Th< three then went to the magistrate' office, where the bond was signed an( Mr. Zimmerman at once left for hi home. No statement could be obtaine< from. Mr. Zimmerman, but his sot said/ that later a statement might bo given out, but that for the present hi! father did not wish to say anythinj except that 'he had not been eluding the sheriff and had been in the city Mr. Zimmerman also stated the sami to Sheriff Coleman, who went to thi office of the magistrate when he 'hear< that Mr. Zimmerman was there. Mr Zimmerman firmly declined to mak, any statement for t.he present. The Ex-Treasurers Busy. Former Treas.urers WV. T. C. Bate and W. H. Timmerman spent anothe day in Columbia yesterday. D1 Bates and Dr. Timmerman tried ti have an interview with Mr. Zimmer man, but could not find him and toda: the two former treasurers spent the day looking into the exact liabilit: and how they could protect then selves. The state will not lose more tha: the $16,400 which it is now our C p'ucket by the duplication of ninetee: bonds, and this the treasurers expec to make good under their bonds. Who Handled The Bonds? An effort was made today to trac the handling of the bonds. Most a the 'bonds were sold in Charlestor and no one c'oul.d be iblamed of cours for buying a valid and proper bond c the state. The brokers in Charlesto state t'hat they do not care to give ir formation as to the parties fror whom the bonds were purchased ur less officially required to do so. There appears to be a general opir ion here in State House circles tha the broker who handled the bondsi known, as he h'as stated that he woul< handle a valid and good bond when ever offered to him and t'hat he 'haa no reason to suspect that any bond ever 'handled by him were stolen. H stated that he would not handle bond he knew to have 'been e-tolen, but tha he had had considerable bond -deal ings with the state treasurers, almos al.l being with t'he treasurer in the sal, of bonds to 'the sinking fund. Thi broker also stated to one of the for mer treasurers 'that 'Mr. Zimmermal "had put 'him on to" considera6bl ~bonds, and that Mr. Zimmerman ofte1 helped him in bond transactions i suggesting where they could b bought and sold, and that he neve suspected that there was the leas thing in the world wrong. This particular broker also take: the position that when he is made witness wvill be ample time for him t< tell what 'he knows about any bont transactions.
