FURNITURE Phoim 131 Dr. Herbert Spough Everyday Counselor “Locked 19 years, Commitment was mistake, Woman is free,” is the headline of a recent Associated Press story from Detroit. Mrs. Louise L. Hardway, 61, gasped with Joy as County Circuit Judge Lilia M. Newfelt, ruled she was committed without suffic ient evidence 19 years ago. She had tediously drawn up her own legal document which opened the gates of the institution that had confined her since 1935. Judge Newfelt said the hand-written habaes corpus prepared painstakingly in what Mrs. Hardway called ‘bedlam’ was in per fect legal order. Mrs. Hardway boarded a plane for New Orleans where she has a daughter and 10 brothers and sis ters. She had saved money for the ticket, part of it coming from greeting cards she made in the state hospital and then sold. Police arrested her in 1935 during an argument over a debt owed her. She was placed in a hospital for observation. The ex- amining doctor didn’t testify in the court proceed- Dt. Spaugh ings. He only signed an affidavit sayfhg she had a persecution complex and was irrational. Once active in Detroit politics and the operator of a secretarial service, Mrs. Hardway wants to forget the last 19 years now. “Everyone who came to see me told me I should not be impris oned,” she said. “So many said they would help me U> get free and I waited and waited.” There is a story in the Book of Genesis which is similar to this. Joseph was falsely accused and cast in prison. While there he in terpreted dreams of two fellow prisoners. One of them was shortly released, according to the ^interpretation of the dream. Foretelling his release Joseph said, "Think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house ... I have done nothing they should put me into the dungeon.” In due course, this prisoner, the chief butler, was released. The record says, “Yet did not the duel butler remember Joseph, but forgot him.” Two years went by and the king of Egypt had several dreams which troubled him. None of the wise men of Egypt could inter pret them. Then the chief butler remembered his experience and said unto the king, “I do remember my faults this day.” Then he told of his experience with dreams. Joseph was immediately re leased, brought to court, and interpreted the dreams for the king. Mrs. Hardway’s friends were like the chief butler, they were pre occupied with their own affairs. Both forgot friends they could and should have helped. Sometimes we can be busy about the wrong things. Think now, have you forgotten somebody you promised to help? Fairfield County's Lyles Says Barnwell Ring Had Nomination In Bag Before Committee Met (Prom The State) Former Senator J. M. Lyles, who represented Fairfield coun ty on the State Executive Com mittee meeting last Friday when Senatpr Edgar A. Brown was nominated, last night made the following statement about the proceedings: To the Editor of The State: The Barnwell Ring had their machine oiled and running smoothly at the meeting of the State Democratic Executive com mittee meeting in a Jefferson hotel room on Friday afternoon. Upon my arrival I saw at once that the machine was hitting on all cylinders. The avowed pur pose of the meeting was to make plans for choosing a Democratic nominee for the United States Senate to take the place ai the late Senator May bank. I saw at once that everything had been decided. It was plainly evident that a majority of the committee were determined thmselves to name the candidate. The people of South Carolina were to be dis franchised. Much telephoning to many counties bad already been done and many conferences with individuals already held. Every thing was in ship-shape. They had the votes sewed up —argument meant nothing. The Hon. Neville Bennett stat ed very clearly the details o< his conference with the Attorney General as to the proper proce dure. Many of ous thought and still think that Mr. Bennett got from the Attorney General an opinion that a primary could be legally held. Some of the law yers in sympathy with the Ring's desire to name the candidate muddied the water with techni calities and confused many mem bers of the committee. The truth is the Ring knew what it wanted and was determined to have, and the opposition was confused and uncertain. The Ring was organ ized, the opposition was not. The steam roller flattened us completely. I did what I could in favor of a primary but knew I was beaten before I started. It is a great pity that a small group of men can disfranchise all the people of South Carolina. They say, the Ring that is, that a primary could not be legally or dered. The fact is that there could be a legal primary, but the Ring had the volts in the body that had the power of interpreta tion, and what they said went. They were entirely ruthless in the wielding of their power. They believed that the people would submit. It may be they are correct. We shall see what we shall see. There is one clear section of our election law which even the Barnwell Rim cannot misinter pret or misrepresent, that is the section which allows any voter to strike the name of any or all Cub Scouts Begin Year's Work The Cub Scout pack 21 resumed its regular monthly meetings Fri day night at the American Legion candidates on the printed ballot, end write in the name of the man of his choice.
