, The Police Went Into
Action
Bright ahlney silver dollars,
stolen from the T. A. Christmas
grocery store at York and Broad
streets early Sunday morning
served as a clue to bring Rich
ard Wylie, 23-year*old colored man
into the hands of the police, and
his uraignment on a grand larceny
charge.
Wylie, according to the police,
forced entrance to the Christmas
store early last Sunday morning
end appropHated 11 silver dollars
and 96.50 In small change from a
till. He also got several cartons of
cigarettes, home hams and canned
goods
At the time the police inveati-
gated the burglary Chief Alva
Rubs ventured the opinion that the
silver dollars would bring the
burglar to Justice. The chief wait
ed and on Thursday discovered
that the sHver dollars were be
ginning to circulate. He found who
was giving them out in payment
for merchandise and late In the
afternoon drove to a picnic at
Longwood and arrested Wylie.

I waa glad to see by the Chron

action was going to be taken rela

ernment for Camden. I have long
advocated this and while serving
aa a member of city council made
such a BtoCion at council meating
January, 1949, and at that meet
ing Mr. Shannon, city attorney,
tslrri tb*t same be deferred until
the next meeting to enable him
to review the law which waa donar
At the February. 1946, meeting.
Mr. Shannon stated that a referen
dum would be neceesary and I re
newed my motion which wm
adopted by council and it d^
eliei to hold the referendum ot
the eame time the city election
was held. Thlb was not done and
I ashed about, It and waa told ew

to avoid betog bit by some motor
ist who has whixsed around the
comer without regard to pedestrian
rights? If so yon will be interested
in the statement from Circuit
Judge O. Duncan Bellinger, who
haa definitely poL wild drivers on
notice, so far as showing resp«t
to the rights of pedestrians.
“Some drivers,” said the Judge,
when he sentenced a white man in
Columbia to a year lu the istate
penitentiary when his car knocked
down and killed a negro woman at
a street intersection, “seMn to
think that if a pedestrian ia
crossing the street that it ia that
pedeatrian’a duty to run or Jump
to get out ot the way.”
Which moans that if a dtlian
la struck by a motor car while
crossing the street on the green
llghL it is going to cost the motor
ist a pretty penny, or a possible
heavy prison Mntenee.
Visitors in Oolombia hava taken
notice of the tact that motorists
thare in tnmtog rlghL mud first
permit pedestrians to dear the
cross walk before they can com
plete their turn. In Camdee, it is
vastfly different especially at the
interaectlon of Broad and DeKalb
street where escape* are miracle
affairs daily. Cars, for instance,
going west on DeKalb street, swing
north on Broad at high speed with
hom honking and daring the
pedestrian to get in the way.
Why the police have not taken
some action to curb this dangerous
practice Is not understandable.
