The motives of the uutu who organize and promote such funny organ l/.al Ions as the Klan are easy to understand. There's money In It, and also It is quite likely those men believe they are rendering a service by peddling hate- in the name of purity, virtue. Americanism, or something. Men who render disservices almost always can deceive themselves Into believing they are doing the reverse of what they are doing One need not go to the secret, snoopy, spooky organizations to learn that Hut what Is the motive of the man who Joins the Klan? What's In It for him ? If lit? wants to do a little hating, he is free lo do It unsheeted.

HITTING THE BULL'S EYE Sheriff .lessen of Dorchester is said to he an unusually efficient officer. hightoned, and a believer in law and order. Dorchester, up to a few years ago. had some nasty crimes. The criminals, as a rule, were conNicl-d Some of the worst of these were turned loose by Governor Qlin Johnston and his pardon hoard The chairman of that board is a preacher t,\ ihe name of Cant well He under-1 took to defend his pardons in The I News and Courier. Sheriff Jessen answered him. so far as Dorchester wasj concerned "Buster" preacher Cantwell was, In his early days an Orangeburger. physically strong and doublefisted. He decided to Join the mintsi try. Ho may he an adept In boxing sinners but he Is a total failure as a pardon board chairman. Far better for him had he thrown his pen In the flan/ei *hd his Inkwell to the four winds before be decided to Invade the newspapers with his defense. 8herlfl Jesaen's answer Is too long for us to reproduce, but It Is the completest knockout of the preacher that has come to our attention. If brother Cantwell can't fight sinners with any more success In his church than he can, on the pardon board fight criminals, his prospects are gloomy.?Calhoun Times. p^deral receipts on cigarettes Increased nearly $4,000,000 In 1938 to total $491,301,164 The 1937 receipts wore $487,903,701.

Sheriff Makes Report The undersigned. J. H. McLeod Sheriff of Kershaw County, begs leave to submit herewith a report of the activities of his office and that of the rural police force of Kershaw county, operating under his office for the period beginning July 1. 1938 and ending February 1, 1939. Beg to advise that 16 illicit liquor stills have been seized and destroyed: 12.000 gallons of mash seizod and destroyed; 10 gallons of corn whiskey seized and destroyed; 5 arrests made for violation of the prohibition law; 365 arrests for other violations: and 3 slot machines were seized and destroyed. The sheriff's office and the rural police force have been active in the suppression of crime. The four rural police officers have closely patrolled the county and have been active in suppressing law violations in . the night-time. One or more officers have been present at all public meetings. and especially have colored gatherings been policed. I am glad to be able to advise that the people of Kershaw county have been during the period generally lawabiding. There has been only one intentional homicide in Kershaw county f?r the past two and a half years. You gentlemen can remember that before we had the rural police system in this county there were usually five or six homicides each year, there being sometimes as many as seven or eight homicide cases on docket at one time in this county 1 wish to commend the rural police force. Each of them is an honest, conscientious. industrious officer, keenly alive to the duties of his office Respectfully submitted. J. li McLeod. Sheriff of Kershaw County HIS REST tin Memory Of Bishop Finlay) And so ho sleeps within the shadow Of the spire he loved so well. And so he lies. Where pass tin1 echoing feet of those he served. It is well. Be sure he had not rested On some far hillside, Remote from the ways of men But as he lived among men. But as he lived among them So must he lie. Where ceaseless footsteps pass O. feet that he once shepherded. And strove to lead along his Master's way? The steadfast feet. the stumbling feet. The heedless feet, the wayward feetDo you not know his great heart loves you still? I>o you not know, he needs must lie Where he may mark How well ye follow. In the way he sought to lead? O' faithful feet, walk ye more steadfast no#'. For ye must lead Where once his sure feet led O, stumbling feet, mark no misstep? Iy?st ye-betray his tmist! O" heedless feet, tread gently ? That his rest be sweet! O' 'wayward feet, turn back! I^est even In death he rest not. Listening for your return. O' feet of all men that he loved , Follow the way he led? . r That, though he lie Where ceaseless turmoil pass, The echo of jour steps Shall be his rest. ?Alii* M Reed.
