James was drunk and when he was brought into court last Tuesday morning he admitted he was drunk and pleaded guilty to manslaughter. He was truly and deeply penitent, according to po lice-officers and according to his own statement. Before he was transferred to the penitentiary Thursday after noon he wrote out this statement with the request that it be given The York- ville Enquirer for publication. “This is on the eve of my departt- ure for the state for a term of three and one-half to seven years. I would like to convey this message to others who take me for an example and a les son to them. Beware of whiskey, whether it be one drink a day or year, more or less. One drink is a million times too much. Take me for instance —I drink so little and so infrequently that my closest friends did not know I drank at all.

I took one drink before I left Columbia and ,one be tween Winnsboro and Chester. That was all; but as I have said, one dink is a million times too many. “The whiskey, of course, was bad and it either poisoned me or caused me to go to sleep. God knows I will never be able to explain just how this wreck happened when I collided with the motorcycle, killing those boys in the prime of their lives and bringing double sorrow to as many families, to say nothing of my almost losing my life. Until my dying day I will remem ber this tragedy and will know that whiskey caused it all. « - “Since being in jail,’’ Mr. James goes- on to say in his letter, “I have found that three-fourths of those here with me are here on account of liquor. The same thing that happened to me can happen to you, and sooner or later fate may overtake you as it did me. Eighteen days ag6 I was one of those cheerful, easy going fellows enjoying life and friends and loved ones. But what a change! Boys, I say one drink is too many.
