Suspends Sentence
* of Peter Williams
In order that the physical "condition
of Peter Williams, now serving a six
months' term on the chain gang for
house breaking and larceny, might be
investigated, Governor Richards yesterday
suspended his sentence until
December
13, 1929. Willffima entered
a plea of guilty at the October, 1929,
term of court of Kershaw county and
was sentenced by Judge S. W. G.
Shipp to serve six monthp; the judge
wrote the governor that since being
placed on the gang Williams had developed
tuberculosis, according to information
furnished him by the sheriff
of the county, and said he would
be glad if the governor would extend
I
a parole. The board of pardons, now
investigating the case, suggested that |
a suspension of sentence be granted,
and this suggestion was put into ef-1
feet, the man being freed while the
| investigation is under way.

DECIDES TO RETIRE
AFTER LONG SERVICE
(Continued from First Page)
"Why not run again?" My reasons
are these:
In the first place in the words of
ex-President Coolidge "I do not
' M
choose to run." This in itself might
be a sufficient reason but there are
others. One is that before the expiration
of my present term as Probate
Judge I will have attained the age
of three score years and ten. I have
been on the job a long time. I am
t}red and crave a release from the
arduous duties that the office carries.
The extract given below from a letter
written by James Buchanan in
1803 to his friend. William Pinckney,
a representative and senato~
from Maryland, very accurately expresses
my views upon this subject.
The letter was published in the Colurrtbiit
State June ^16, 1920, and was
furnished that paper by John K, AtiH.
My. Buchanan was writing of an appointment
he had just been tendered
by the President. He said:
"I have never been an office seeker,
but have hitherto been always
gratified with the offices conferred
upon me. I have, however, no taste
for* the English mission. I can say
in all sincerity, that nothnig but a
sense of public duty and the earnest
solicitations of the President induced
me to accept it. I was sixty-two
years of age on the 23rd of April
last and have acquired a decided '
taste for tranquility and retirement.
I did not desire ever again xo hold
public .office. I have always eonstd?
ered it a melancholy spectacle to see
old men struggling in the political
arena for public honors anq offices
as though this earth was to be their
everlasting abode."
And then there are those who -apparently
are exceedingly anxious for
the office, and would go any lenght3
to obtain it. I would not go into a
scramble for it. There are those
it seems' who think that the office
is a veritable gold mine with no work
or responsibility attached to it. In
both conjectures they are sorely mistaken
as I am worth less financially
today than I was when I took charge
of the office, and the dixies of the
office are exceedingly numerous and
very responsible. .. .Conditions seem 1
to exist which prevailed tn 1800 and
Very aptly described by Mr. Thomas
J. Kirk land in one of his "Tillman'
and I" articles which appeared in the i:
newspapers in July, 1029, where he
paid that while serving as a member
of the legislature in 1890 he observ
ed and had to pass upon some of the
struggles of ambition for office "such t
as wage between ravenous lions over ^
the carcass of a Zebra." Present ,
day politics and practices in primary
elections are preventing many good ,
men from offering for office.
And then there seems to be a i
growing sentiment among the people
(and in some cases possibly
rightly so) thjt an offic^TZS
not ?erve at the longest momlvM
two term#. Only recently * UWTB
beent puaaed by the South (W7*
legielature^ralMbltlA^ihe cmS^M
ecutive from aerv^, ?v>r? than M
term as Governor.
So taking all th?M thing, |nto c
aideration I have upon my own i.I
tiative and agaluat the wish*# ,
many good friend* decided not to <9
fer for re-election next year
During ray administration moil
than threw thousand estate# havfl
been admlniatered. Some of the nVtwl
duties of the office have been s?tul
ing patient# to the State
boy# to the Bfriustrial School and k9
f or ma tor y, pirU.to the Rescue ol
phanage, issuing mMrriage liven J
and paying out pension money *1
of which are very grave anj r J
sponsible duties. In the -diecharS
of these duties It has been necessarl
for me to sign my name in an offB
cial capacity possible more than
million times, and I have joined il
the holy bonds of Inatrimony moil
than six thousand souls. 1
An eventful period of my admit!
iatration was the .years tn whitl
whiskey permits were issued from til
Probate office. How many 'miUid
(?) did J issue did you ask? WeW
J-do not remember the exact numbel
and as an Act was passed by t?
legislature requiring the records t|
be destroyed there is no way nowjfl
telling, but suffice it to say that
that list could be resurrected y<M
might And names there that yo|
would not expect to see, and narmfl
you might, expect to see you wouM
not'Ana. Let the record remain il
oblivion.
I do not think it would be just tl
close this article without a word 9
commendation for those members. J
the Camden Bar who have practice!
in the Probate Court during my a<|
ministration, who possibly more thai
any other olass or profession of me!
have hgd to deal with the officl
They are gentlemen of ^a very higl
type, and it has been a source c
very great pleasur# to me to observ
the uniformly strong, desire man
fested by them for justice and equ
ty in all the estates in nyhich the
have been retained by administrj
tors and executors as legal advisor
We have worked together splendidl
and my association and dealings wit
them will always be- remembered b
me very-pleasantly.
And 'now in "Conclusion I wish t
say that in quitting politics 1 do s
with absolute good will toward a
mankind and malice -to none.
Very respectfully, "
