C. MR. J. J. CANTEY LIVES NEWS AND VIEWS Editor of The Manning Times: It has been quite a long time since I have taken the liberty of sending a letter to your paper, but since Sum merton takes up very little space in your valuable weekly during these days, I hope you will permit me to say a few words upon the subject of law lessness, which seems to prevail in our County. In the first place, much ade is being made these days about the enforcement of the stock law in the various counties and quite re cently Georgetown was placed among the civilized counties, because she had voted out the free-range and had f voted in the enforcement of the so called stock law. Now, Clarendon County, is under the provisions of the stock law and every good citizen of Clarendon is supposed to keep his stock, including cows and hogs, C fenced off the public, but as a matter of fact, very few people in Clarendon County fence in their stock during the entire year, and just now, Clarendon County is practically a free range. Some of my farmer friends are daily complaining about their inability to get a stand of onts or wheat, on ac count of the numerous hungry hogs and cows, which just now are prowl ing all over the County like thieves in the night, anc hially, the little town of Summert" 's practically like unto a cowpe , where cows walk up and down the streets and make them practically impassable for child ren and ladies, to say nothing of the terrible odor which permeates the k community, on account of these per ambulating cows and hogs. Then, again, take the fence law of the State and you will find that this law is violated by socalled good citi zens with impunity. The law provides that no barb-wire fence shall be erect ed within twenty feet of the public highway. yet the harbwire fence by the side of the public highway is a cm1on10 nuisance in Clarendon coun ty. The truth of the matter is, we have citizens in Suimerton who defy publie santinment in this matter and regul :rly maint ain barbwire fence:; oinediately up against the public streets or the public highways, and the Mlayor and the Al agi;triate and other oflicers of the law do absolutely nothieg in the direction of law en l'orcueelt. in this r: spect. It is criminal negligence in South Cairolina for anyone to carelessly or "ie1lie~ently start a fire. but C'laren Slon Con'ty during the !last few months has been bu1rned practically ill over, :!1,l certainly the oflicers of the County could have discovered s;omei crim11in:rl along this line, wx".n1 an immwnse tire (an be seen some where i, tht'' Coity on almost any Mot of the-e Ii !s have been st:irt - nI i t( jIionally, tlllking the boll w\evil woull b he destroy thereby, lit. that is no c(use for a plain vio t: I;on ,f the law of South Carolina.
