Happiest Age To Marry Contrary to u common Idea, curly marriages are ullcgcdly not tin* happlcHt, at leaat for the American populations. A new chart showing the ages at which men and women should marry if they are to have the greatest chance of happiness has been prepared by Dr. llorucll Hart, professor of Social l-'thics at the Hartford Connecticut Theological Seminary. According to this chart the ages at which the chance of marital happiness is mathematically greatest are 33 for the man and U7 for the bride. However, the chart shows a range of greutest chance of married happiness corresponding to groom's ages between 2it and 37 and bride's ages between 23 and 31. It further shows that the ideal age difference between bride, and groom Is about five years. While there are undoubtedly many exceptions, the chart shows relatively little chance of happiness for boys who marry younger than 20 or for girls who do so younger than 19.? Pathfinder.

KNIGHT I 611 Lafayette Ave. Camden, S. C. k?-' 3 Interesting Career Ex-Sheriff Hunter (Front I /it noisier News) Bx-fc?heriff John P. Hunter of Lancaster, S. who retired front office lit 1U29, had the unique distinction of nerving uh an officer of the law for flfty-two years?six of them as deputy sheriff of J'Sin aster county, four as l'n)ted States Marshal for the Ids trict of South Carolina, und fort> two as sheriff of Lancaster county. That Ilia record has been paralleled in the United States Is doubtful; that it haH j boon unexcelled Is certain, During his forty-two years as sheriff tit) prisoner ever escaped from him, and every felon whom he sought he eveutuully captured. Yet he never, killed a man, nor was wounded by one, nor permitted one to he lynched. Sheriff Hunter's phenomenal urrests were the results- of personal fearlessness and a knowledge of criminal psychology, und although he gives due credit to his assistants, It is air established fact that as a lone worker he wus most ^successful. On two occasions he captured murderers who hud him covered from the moment of Ids approuch and who reiterated ihelr determination to shoot to kill. Willi Ills hand on a smull Smith and Wesson pistol in his right hand pocket, Sheriff Hunter stared the murderers unflinchingly In the eyes, and under the spell of that stare advanced steudily. Had he dropped his gaze for a second or slackened his puce, he bollevcs he would huve met instant death. On another occasion the sheriff entered a negro's cabin In the middle of the night and put handcuffs oil him " before he awakened. (This happened in the Halle Ciold Mine section, and the negro was later taken to Abbeville county und hanged for murder.) Long before the days of modern gangsters the country was menaced by dangerous bands of safe-crackers and robbers. It was Sheriff Hunter's lot to arrest and keep in his custody such notorious public enemies as Charles O'Day and John Fisher, who, besides engaging in many other nefarious exploits, blew up and robbed a safe at Heath Springs, S. C. Lart ny was the offense for which the majority of the sheriff's arrests had tn be made. I he tact that Sheriff Hunter never killed a prisoner nor permitted one to be lynched was of inestimable value to the state of South Carolina on more than one occasion. The case of John Mcllwain, Lancaster's most elusive criminal, will Illustrate the point: Mcllwain, a negro, had cold-bloodedly killed Ernest Watklns, superintendent of the Lancaster Cotton Oil Company. He disappeared In thf dark, but through the untiring efforts of Sheriff Hunter was finally located and imprisoned in Detroit. Friends there employed a negro lawyer for him, and when Sheriff Hunter and Honorable R. S. Stewart appeared before Michigan's Governor Slevper, the negro lawyer pointed to Mcllwaln's wife and children, saying dramatically: "If you honor this requisition, that little lady and those helpless children will be widowed and orphaned by the ruthless mob which will be waiting to lynch John Mcllwain when the sheriff takes him across the South Carolina stab- line." Roach Stewart, the Lancaster attorney who was representing South Carolina, jumped to his feet: "l do not know where the attorney got his information, but 1 do know that he has been misinformed." Then pointing His finger towards STiernT Hunter, lie continued, "That old gentleman' has been sheriff of Lancaster county: lor forty years. No prisoner has ever been taken from him and hmhed.' and no prisoner will ever be taken 1 fotn him and 1\ nclied." W 11et*e11110n tbt' negro lawyer sar> ast tea II ? riled the cases of Hardy Gill. w ho \va< lynched in Lancaster, and John Morrison, wb.n was 1> nclied in Kershaw. I he governor asked for an \*planation, and Sheriff Hunter r. plied: I had resigned as sheriff of Lancaster count \ and was acting as United States Marshal in Charleston when iiill was lynched. As for tin- Morrison l\ ticliing. I believe I could have prevented it had it occurred in the days of automobiles. Refused the loan of a dime. Morrison, a white man. had shot another white man In the back. This happened in Kershaw, eighteen miles from Lancaster, and when 1 received news of the tragedy I paid $27 to the Iaincaster station ug-nt for the rent of a freight train which, attached to a cat), carried me to Kershaw. It was too late; the in- i couaud mob had lynched Morrison be-, fore I arrived. During the riot of September 27, 1SH2. 1 waged a lone' battle to prevent a lynching, and I ! was successful. I believe 1 would ' hav? been successful in Kershaw." Needless to say. Governor Sleeper honored the requisition. (Mcllwain was tried and sentenced to life imprisonment. Some time afterwards the negro escaped from the county chain gang. (He is still at large.) The most trying of Sheriff Hunter's experiences have been occasioned by court orders for execution. August 1. 181?Q. lie hanged Hoach ('atoe and Will Clyburn on an enclosed gallows constructed behind the present jail. Again on December 20. 1911, ho had to hang llcury Kee and Mack Hood negroes who were sentenced for having murdered men of their own ruee. It was extremely disagreeable to the sheriff to have to shed blood?particularly the blood of men whom he had heard pruying, singing and crying, and whom he had watched over for months?but he considered himself the man whose duty It was to carry out the mandates of the law, After these legal execution ho consoled himself by reading Genesis 9-C, "Whose sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood he shed." That crime Is on the Increase at the present time, especially among white people, is the opinion of Hhcriff Hunter, hut unlike many modern obpectors he does not feel that prisoners ure pampered too much- "I always believed in treuting prisoners kindly and encouraging them to reform," suys tills grand old man after eighty years of life, fifty-two of which were spent in enforcing the laws of Ids beloved country and state. Written by Request At the request of many friends throughout the county, ex-sheriff John IV Hunter has written the following sketch of his life: "The son of James it. and Louise West Hunter, I was born on a farm two and half miles south of the court house in Lancaster county, S. C., on October 8, 1855, and I lived on a farm as a laborer in said county until I was 17 years of age. I had the opportunity Of going to school only a little in the winter and in the summer when our crops were laid by. When my father was elected sheriff of Lancaster county in the fall of 1872 I went to school in Lancaster during the fail and following spring of that year. 1 have done all kinds of farm work and domestic work, too, for I have filled many thousands of quills on an old time spinning wheel and helped my dear old mother to weave on an ol<i time treadle and hand loom, and helped her to make clothes for my father and elder brother when they were in the Confederate army. At the same time my mother and I were wearing clothes which my mother made with the help that I could give her. Our shoes of home-tanned leather were made on our farm by a poor white man who was too old to go to the war. 1 was a little over 9 years of age in the spring of 1865 when General Sherman's rough, ransacking Federal soldiers came to our home and carried off our fine mules, corn, llour, meal, bacon, potatoes, chickens and turkeys. After these plunderers had gone with the most of our provisions, we had a hard time getting something to eat. We would often go to bed at night very hungry. My mother was a wise, energetic woman, however, and she skillfully planned the planting and working of a crop in 186.i tbefore my father and brother returned home after the war.) With an ox and an old blind horse which she managed to secure, and with the help of a few faithful colored servants, we made very good crops of everything w,. planted. After these and many other hard| ships which I had to endure I began in ls.4. when hut 18 years of age. j to ride tor my father as deputy sher: iff It was a rather difficult service. The automobile was yet a tiling of ; 'he tuture, and we had to travel on i horseback. We continued our work j until my lather retired as sheriff in j 18S0. I hat same year I was elected slieritt of Laneaster county, which office 1 held continuously until April 1, 1894, wh. n I r< signed to take charge of the I nit.-.i States Marshal's office in j Charleston, for the District of South. ( aro'ina I had been appointed loi 'hi- el! i, . l,\ President ('.rover Cloveand alter holding it tor four! >' and one month I returned to j ni\ home in Lancaster in Jsns, :iiiti tai :iii d lor i wo years. In 19oo I was again elected sheriff >:' Lam aster county, and held said; oft ice this time continuously for j Var>, : litis making a total of over 41 j >ears that I was sheriff of Lancaster county. I was the last I'nited States! Marshal who occupied the Marshal's! office in the custom house in Char-| leston and I was the first I'nited ' States Marshal who occupied thej marshal's office in the present United I States Court House inMhe city of j Charleston I ntn the last sheriff who ' occupied the sheriff's office in ftie I Lancaster county court house, and 1 j am the first sheriff who occupied the I sheriff's office in the present office' building in the grand old town of 1 Lancaster. I am only stating these factB for the information of my young friends, for many of them are the children of my loyal supporters who always cheerfully helped to confer these honors upon me. Alas, many of these dear good friends of mine have long since gone the road which I am now traveling, the etj^l of which road Is death. I feel now that I am nearing the end of the road, as I am begin* ning to reach the point where 1 can-1 not think quickly ot things which 1 would like to say and cannot always say what 1 think I would like to say. But knowing the fact that 1 am in the hands of a kind, just, and mer clful Qod who knows my shortcom* ings, I feel perfectly satisfied." JOHN P. HUNTER. i . ...
