WAR ON IMI'ROINKK SIGNS
Matt Come Off The tUck of Autos
Says Attorney (general
War on obscene and suggestive j
signs on automobiles has been declared
by the State of South Carolina
and Governor Richards has announced
that he will instruct the
officers of the law to enforce sections
of the code which Attorney General
John M. 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'.'
There are about 620 muscles in the
body of the normal man, one-fourth j
of which are in the neck and face.
The will of Jarius Hillbornn who
died recently in Minot, Maine, sets
aside $30 a year for twenty-five years
to defray the expense of an annual j
dance for the young people of the |

The widow continued munching on
