Daniel has ruled violated by these signs. On top of this, Ben M. Sawyer, chief highway commissioner, has announced thut the license inspectors will cooperate in the enforcement of the law to the fullest extent. w Attorney General Daniel in a letter to Commissioner Sawyer says that section 385, volume 2, code of laws of South Carolina, 1922, if enforced will prevent the display of indecent or obscene pictures or matter posted on automobiles that travel the public highway. The matter was called to the attention of the governor by John F. Weekly of Uliners. The governor wrote Commissioner Sawyer and told him that he would be glad to assist in any way in putting a stop to the "outrageous practice, of blackguarding cars with suggestive and indecent signs." Commissioner Sawyer then wrote the attorney general asking if there was a statute prohibiting such a practice. In his letter to Governor Richards, Mr. Weekly said that his observation had led him to believe that thus far negroes were the greatest offenders in this form of indencency. His letter in full to the governor follows: *'I see in The State that the mayor of Columbia has instructed the police and other officers to arpest persons who drive their cars in that city with indecent, suggestive signs attached to them and I was just thinking that fou would do something to put a stop :o this dirty practice Which is being carried on all over the State of South Carolina. It is a disgrace and a shame to see such dirty and suggestive signs attached to the cars when riding on the highways with your wife daughters. I feel that if you will call our mutual friend Ben Sawyer's attention to this matter that if it is in his power to stop it that he will do 4t. At any rate, it's worth a trial. I am glad to say that it is mostly negroes with the tin lizzies who are doing most of this'.'
