THE BI.ANKY HOLD UP., The persistent holding: of tnotorists by a a peed cop and sanctioned by the village authorities of Blaney, is occasioning no end of unfavorable comment on the part of motorists and the general public. It U not fair to believe that this speed trap is sanctioned by all of the good people of Hlaney an The Chronicle heard one prominent citizen say that he had made a protest, fyut to no avail. There are ail sorts of charges )>eing made as to the unfairness pf these hold ups and the amounts exacted from so-called speeders. As to the truth of these statements we do not know. We have been told that the cop sizes up the Occupants of the car and makes his bond as much as he thinks the owner will 'stand for. For instance it was told at a hotel here Tuesday night that a northern lady was made to put up $85 bond. Still uuother local man was told to put up $15. He thought this excessive and the officer let him go for $5. If these be facts, this in itself shows the absolute injustice of the proposition. Hlaney needs to tuke stock of herself, for it is said if this practice of holding up motorists continues there is a probability of Hlaney being left off of the new highway. The Chronicle always stands for fair play and we are frank to say, from what we have heard, we don't think the traveling public is getting a square deal from the Hlaney authorities. And at the sume time this community and this state is getting mighty poor advertising through the money-making methods of the Hlaney speed-cop. Wherever he was known, and by scores that did not know him, it wns gl?d news t<? his friends that Mr. H. T. Bay lis had emerged from the \V ate ret Swamp after a harrowing experience, unhat med except from exposure, and all join in the hope that he will suffer no illness from, his thirty-six hours in u wet, cold swamp. Mr. Hay I is is said, to hp a Christian gentleman?taking part in nearly all i cligiuus work m his city. No stronger sermon was ever preached than the closing paragraph of his thrilling narrative in which he expressed his implicit faith in Clod in these \\Ki.Is: "I: \.n.- one ui the worst experiences I over had. 1 here was One witlj me on Whom I could rely, and He kept me. Often when I \sas hungry and thirsty I'd pray that I might find water, and pretty soon I'd step into a small stream." In the death ot Major Jamea C. llemnhill, the state and the South lost s one of its best known newspaper men. Major Hemphill has been classed alonjj with the brilliant HenrJ Waftvt st 11. He was the first president of the South Carolina Press Associa tion aiii was always delightful com. pany at these annua! gatherings. In describing the Major the Spurtanbui g Herald pays the following Hue tribut* " > this, gentleman of the Old South: "By reason of his wide acquaint v." a-, his identification with import an! events few?men in the eount iv had a gifr.ioi store of ittfoi :n n. oi tie* 1,1 .mate personal i.a.u i . u. i.::in? men and measure* TThati X i." > r-..Tplrttt; Having- read -imi. h, written much and been thrown in personal contact with the men and , women of prominence in his day and Win ration and possessing a spirit of I*outn that never deserted him. even lb the last of his days, tie was a nkre companion in whose company hi* fiitnds delighted. His personal chfArac eiistics embraced a childlike honesty of thought and purpose, n no v^r tlagging sense of humor, a .! neve# ending interest in life, a none ? too h eat appreciation of the facts, "if the details were available," as he sometimes said, and belief in his friend?." Says Camden Cooks Good. On fi visit to the Camden Chamber of Commerce headquarters Tuesday Mr. I,. C. Carter, of the Southern Kngineering Company, who is making n survey of conditions in the Sbuthorn states, said that he had recently visited nearly every city in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, and it was his candid opinion that there was moj-e activity in Camdi n than any city of more than twice our size, that he was impressed with the general atmosphere of optimism here, and that he predicted u J^'cat future for this section.

LBCTURK8 POLICE. 1? ? lecture to the entire police depertment of the city of Columbia laet Monday afternoon, Mayor L. B. Owen*, a* head of the polite department ware them some coed sound advice that might1 applicable to **? ^men all over the state. Drlnkiig by offjcei* on duty, rudehess in dealing with the ppWidJlack 0/ ducri mi nation in the 'diatter of arrest* and undue severity in the Imposition of fines on motorists violating the sections of the traffic ordinance pertaining to lights were the mailer* brought. 4,17 rant*ul , <,i?l,nctly understood that Im the boss dog in this boneill -nt0 thui 5? ftt,r- Not only that] the public is treated fairly and courteously, but that you are also tieated courteously. I aTO going to hack every one of you up. All I ask of you is patience in your dealings.., | Mayor Owens compared the requisites of a doctor to those of a policeman, showing the similarity of circumstances under which both are forced to labor. He told the officer* that It is just as necessary for a policeman to be patient and gentlemenly under trying conditions difficult CM." ,,h>"it'ia" handlln* The manner of approach has a great deal to do with the matter," he said. I am told that Lieutenant Sweannger has been I on the force for many frWrB and has never had to shoot a man. I don't want Voir to risk your lives, but if force is necessary for you to -protect your VJr8' hnd V 11 b*<* you up." Mayof Owens also said that there had been a lack of distinction on the part of officers in the matter of arrests. "I want you to make a distinction between a good law abiding citizen who is trying; to obey the law and to assist in its enforcement, and other persons whom you know are disreputable, criminal and bad citSu Y(H! know *he people of C6jumbia and you have sense enough] to( recognize this distinction. I know and I realize that when 1 say this it is going to be distorted, and that I am liable to be criticized for saying it. But I have no apologies to make for the poll ' want ? m 1 a k 1 11'? exac11 y what That Blaney Speed Trap C-omplaiiita have been received] during the week from tourists who visited Columbia within the past ten days ,n which the charge is made that a speed trap is being operated in the town of Blaney, and the chamber of commerce has been asked to investigate. The complaints we e received at the local office of the South Carolina Motor club, affiliated with the ' \ One whs from a member ot the A. A. A. who lives in Holyoke, Mass., and stated that he was .stopped by a motorcycle policeman while driving at u rate of speed which was ju>t excessive, and was forced to post bond in the amount of 510 before allowed -to proceed. Hearing of the case could not be had until the following day, so the motorist forfeited the bond." Another complaint was received from a party of tourists from Balden()'. -v"- C\, who stopped over in Columbia after the incident, en route to fr lorida. According to the writer letter, he saw a mortocycle officer approaching from the rear, and stopped in the roadway. The officer came up and demanded a $f> bond, which was posted and forfeited. Neither party had a good word to , *a> for Blaney or South Carolina.? Thursday's CC'olumbia Record. An electrically operated distillery, valued by prohibition officers at more than ?100,000, \va^ seized by New York police last Friday night on the fourth tloor of a tour-story warehouse. Boy Scout News 1 The weekly meeting of the Boy Scouts of Troop 2 was held on Friday night at 7:di>. The troop drew up in formation in Trent of the meeting place and repeated the Scout oath and the allegiance to the flag. They then went into the house and began the meeting. Most of the time was taken up with discussion of business. The troop then decided to get up baskets to give to some of the poor citizens of Camden on Thanksgiving. During the last week the s Scout t?am played two games of foot ball with the downtown team. The score was a tie both times. The Scouts were all sorry that they could not gc on 2i hike on, Friday as was intended, That hike was prevented by wel weather, but we intend to go on one this Friday. Scout Scrrber?Duncan Lang.
