Points Out Benefits - of Volstead Act. Rock Hill, Feb. 21.—Despite all of the widespread and deep-seated rebel lion against the prohibition law evi denced in South Carolina, and other states, I consider the Volstead Act the greatest piece of legislation ever enacted by the United States,” de clares sheriff John P. Hunter, for forty years chief of the law enforce ment unit of Lancaster County and dean of South Carolina sheriffs. As a proof positive of his asser tions, sheriff Hunter points to rec ords showing that crime is on the decreased in Lancaster county since prohibition days. The jail register' was blank during last Christmas holidays and the county bastile without lodgers'-for the first time in forty years, sheriff Hunter notes. Portions of the iJbunty that were some years agd notorious over the entire State for open law violation are today prosperous settlements built a- round imposing churches and schools Sheriff Hunter attributes this change largely to the absense of John Bar ley Corn. ' Bor nin Lancaster county, Octo ber 8, 1855, Mr. Hunter became sheriff in 1880, a youth of only twenty-five years of age, succeeding his father. Before election he had served as a constable for two magis trates at the age of eighteen years and later became deputy sheriff un der his father. As a peace officer dn these special capacities it is said with out dispute that he has to his credit more arrests than an other sheriff in South Carolina. • Sheriff Hunter has never made an illegal arrest and has never had to shoot a man. Yet, never has he failed to make an arrest where duty called, his friends who know him best say and the records show. In 1894 Sheriff Hunter resigned to become United States marshal for the Eastern district of South Carolina, when appointed by President Grover Cleveland. He then made his head quarters in Charleston. When his term expired in 1898 he returned to Lancaster and farmed until in 1900, when his frieotfs announced him for sheriff and he was again elected by an overwhelming majority. 'Since that time he has been regularly reelected to succeed himself and likely will con tinue in office as long as he is physi- ally able to take active charge of the duties of the trust. Sheriff Hunter’s success in law en forcement, especially enforcement of he prohibition law, is a simple secret And yet embodies the ground-work of success in all undertakings.

He makes his approach with all the skill and discretion that- his determined personality affords and enforces the law' without fear or favor. Those who disrespect law know this and take no chances. Too, Sheriff Hunter believes that to enforce law he must himself keep all laws. He not only adheres strict ly to the law but insists uopn other officers of his unit doing so. His friends assign this reason as one why he is held in such high respect by his fellow officers and is given such hearty support by them. So zealous is he of law-observance, even to the letter, that he usually arranges for a magistrate to accompany him on missions supplied with blank warrants that can be filled out in a case of emergency to avoid the chance making an illegal arrest. Has Sheriff Hunter ever known fear? He says that he has, although to look at this calm, firm man it could not be guessed. “I recollect many years ago when I was search ing for a desperate criminal in the eastern part of the county,” Sheriff iunter began in telling of the event, “I discovered a cave in which I be- ieved my man was hiding. Dismount ing my horse and drawing my pistol, I entered, pushing a dark lantern be fore me.

There it was that I reasoned that I was afraid to search the cave. The fugitive, who knew the country better, would feel likewise.” His rea soning was good for after events proved that the hunted man had not taken refuge there. Firmness is an asset, Sheriff Hun ter has capitalized on this trait and probably his life has been spared on two occasions at least on account of it. In one instance a negro had raised a shotgun £o his shoulder and warn ed the officer that if he advanced a step he would shoot. The sheriff was grasping a pistol in his coat pocket and could have fired with a true aim, but he didn’t. Instead he spoke pleas antly and without hesitation advanced step by step until he could leap for the black’s shoulder an<f overpower him. “Put that gun down or I’ll kill you and I , don’t want to do that;” he had told the negro. “I have no ambition to die in har- nqps, nor do I care to retain my office, logger than my age and physical con dition warrant,” Sheriff Hunter told a host of his friends who had gather ed about his door after his reelection. “I am still a strong, active man, but I am approaching old age, that period of life where comfort should be sought Grand Keeper C.
