JUDGE MANN MAKES FORCEFUL
CHARGE ON LAW ENFORCEMENT
Tells Grand Jury That Nation Has Become Lawless With the Ac
quisition of Wealth and South Carollina Not An Exception.
Urges Better Attitude Toward Law Enforcement.
Laurens, Sept., 27.—Changes in the
i
legal machinery of the courts so that
the state would have a better show
ing than it now has in the trial of law
violators and an enlarged staff of
peace officers if the spirit of lawless
ness now prevailing in the state and
nation is to be curbed; formed the cen
tral theme around which Judge M. M.
Mann built a strong charge to the
grand jury at the opening of court

With another week of hard practice
behind them the freshmen pig-skin
artists continue to look better and are
improving daily under the ever watch
ful eye of Coach Lonnie McMillian.
When that comes about, he said, we
will no longer find congested courts,
and the expense of law enforcement
will be greatly reduced.
Touching on the enforcement of the
prohibition lawS, Judge Mann said ^ xi. ,
that he had heard that peace officers ® -ui . even m
in this section of the state were mere i weather, has oecn

last week in Laurens after the recess | the saddle and the law-abiding people
taken Monday out o' respect to Judge
McGowan. The criminal laws of South
Carolina and of the nation, he said,
were framed after the old English
laws which grew up during a time of
stress in England when the great body
of people of that nation found it nec
essary to throw safeguards around
defendants at the bar so that innocent
men would not.be persecuted at the
hands of tyrannical ruling classes.
These safeguards, he pointed out, had
grown to be privileges to such an ex
tent that now the criminal has the
upper hand in the courts and the state
fights an up-hill battle in every case.
America, Judge Mann told the jur
ors, has come to be the richest nation
in the world but also the most lawless.
To this country, founded in the name
of liberty and freedom, have come the
lawless elements of other countries
and today America stands near the
bottom of the ladder in respect for
law. Last year 14,000 persons were
killed in the United States and one
homicide took place for every hour
of the day and night. Sixteen homi
cides occur in the United States to
every one in England. The records of
France and Germany are far better
need stronger hands to help in the
enforcement of the law. For that rea
son, he said, he believed their only
hope was to have the federal govern
ment, with its stronger resources,
come in and take charge of the situa
tion. “If you don’t need them up here,
I am glad of it, but we need them
down there.”
Turning to the question of county
fiscal affairs. Judge Mann said that
he had heard that an audit of this
county’s books was being made and
this, he said, was a wise step. Not only
in Laiitens county, he said, but in all
counties of the state the county busi
ness had reached such large and in
tricate proportions that no officer
could tell where he stood. Mhny hon
est officers, he said, are living under
a shadow not because of dishonesty
much on both offensive and defensive
play that it doesn’t even look like the
same bunch of gridiron enthusiasts
as the ones of a week ago.
One great addition to the backfield
who has been showing up exceptional
ly well during recent practice is Bar
rett, pile driving fullback, who re
ceived his preliminary football educa
tion at Bailey Military institute, and
if you doubt this writer’s word, just
ask any of the reserves who played
against him at Greenwood last year.
With Stamps to aid him in plunging
the line and backing up his own for
ward wall, the frosh teams will be
few and far between, who will be able
to “hold that line” or to make much
yardage through the Baby Blue Hose.
Stamps is another who has been
showing up mighty well this week,
and he still remains the heady, con
but of inefficiency, although some of j hard-driving “Shorty.” Cope-
them, he was sorry to say, were living
under the shadow of dishonesty. In
his opinion, he told the grand jury,
the counties needed a thorough over
hauling of their business systems, a
more business-like bookkeeping sys
tem installed and the delegations re
lieved of county business matters so
that they could give their time and
thoughts to more strictly legislative
land, a brainy end, and Carr, a pow
erful guard or tackle, are the ones
that have made life miserable for the
opposing backs during the past sev
eral days.
Few more twenty-four-hour periods
are left for practice before the frosh
meet their first big test in the Wof
