The BootlejfKer and the Chainnanu|j “Tiny say” that' it is impossible to prohibit the manufacture and sale >f liipior, luit if juries will convict and .Im I yes will impo'-e ehainyany sentenees, as was doiu ! here last week, it will curtail the traffic* to a lonsiderahle -xtent. Laws n^iiinst' murder de not prevent that crime absolutely, hut the apprehension and occasional) conviction of those who take human life certainly • acts as a. Icterrent to others. Were it not for 'h<* fear of the p issihe consetjuenePs if the law, there would” be many nmri* murders, in spite of the hlaek ••‘cord this, country has along this line. And so it is with violators t*f the prohibition law. When they know that the* officers are making every reasonable effort to apprehend them and that they will he convicted when they are caught and sentenced t i tcjins on the gang or in the pen- tentiary, thereyill be a lot less hoot legging.—A-rtd we believe that the •uuntion in this embarrassing to say the least. county Js becoming the boot Meggers, to • About Law Enforcement. The People believes in law etifor- cement. Without it this would indeed he a sorry place iir-Schich to live, luit We do nof heli.eve that tlo* pro-, miscuous taking of human life hv v ..fficers of the law .is necessary t(» ts proper enl’oicement. If newspapci* accounts are to he" helieved, twp such cases occurred in Beaufort Countv during the past week In the first instance, several officers, headed by a Federal officer, made a raid xrrV a small fishing launch whose owner, they claim, was suspected of illegfri liquor operations. They allegV that the man f red a shot at them from a Winchester rifle, whereupon the Federal officer shot, him to death. At the coroner’s inquest he claimed immunity from arrest except at th<‘ hands of a United States marshal. People in the community in which the homicide occurred say that the dead man bore a good reputation and a search f his launch disclosed only a small quantity of liquor in a bottle. The officer, of course, will set up a claim that* the man .resisted arrest and he firedOnly in Solf-dedeusc;^. ^ A few -days later, a marine corp oral from Parris Island was shot to death.at Port Royal by the town pol iceman. "WHiutsses' to this, tragedy state that the mai irO^was being held by another man deputized to help make the arresftwhen the fatal shot was filed and that even after he was mortally Wounded, the policeman struck him in the face with the butt end of his pistol. The . police matt claims that the marine, had made a motion towards liis pocket a to draw a weapon. Naturally. The People is not m possession of all the facts• .in these two cases and it may )icon's)aMishcff beyond a reasonable doubt that it. wajs absolutely necessary for the officers to kill -the men in defense-of their ow n lives;’hut .>we believe that. hoth homicides could have been avoided if the offiters in question had lihen if tin* officers in que-tfoil had been more deliherat“. and the point that we are teving io 1 ring to the attention of ou.t‘|7v;uIet sds that the authorities in their with the < v n- of the land.
