MOKE LAW, LESS KE1) TAPE
Governor Harvey Makes Statement
About the Crook Case.
Predicting that the people will unquestionably
demand "that law enforcement
be not delayed and nullified
by means of legal machinery or
ambiguity of terms," Governor
Harvey on Wednesday issued a statement
declaring that the decision of
the state supreme court in the Grover
Crooks case "will tend to emphasize
the general opinion that the procedure
incident to our criminal law
is sadly in need of revision."
The decision in question released
Crooks, an Oconee county man, from
the state penitentiary, where he had
been committed upon orders from
anvornrvr Warvov whirh rmmorted tO
revoke a parole granted to Crooks by
former Governor Cooper. The court
held that Governor Harvey could not
legally have Crooks incarcerated for
breach of parole conditions, because
this sentence expired in April of this
year, after which, the court decided,
the conditions of the parole were not
binding.
The effect of the court decision, it
was pointed out in the opinion, was
to establish the precedent that a convict's
sentence continues to run after
he is paroled.
Governor Harvey's statement follows:
The highest judicial authority, the
supreme court of the state, has
spoken. The status of the parole sys
tem has been idefined^The interpretation
of the law as thus decreed is the
law and it is to be obeyed ana respected
by all. It is well that the
issue has been definitely determined.
It is surprising that a matter affecting
the liberty of people and the authority
of the executive has been so long
been left unsettled. It means that the
parole system as understood all these
years, will practically be abandoned.
The system of paroles as previously
understood seemed to be wise if properly
exercised and rightfully enforced.
The word parole will hardly
be used by executives in future
acts of clemency. Those already paroled
will be the only beneficiaries of
the decision. My connection with the
matter -was wholly impersonal. I, of
course, was merely acting for the
public, and as heretofore legally understood.
It is to be regretted that
another weapon for law enforcement
is found defective, but it may serve
to stir the public to action.
"The decision of the court will
tend to emphasize the general opinion
that the procedure of our criminal
laws is sadly in need of revision.
The people will unquestionably demand
that less loopholes be furnished
law violators by means of technicalities
and delays, and that law enforcement
be not retarded, delayed
and nullified by means of legal red

IXFAXT CONDUCTS SERVICES.
Hast Xot Even Been Pui>il of the
Public Schools.
Newton E. Hastings, Salisbury, Md.
is only six years old; he has just entered
the public schools of his home
town arvd has had no conscious preparation
or coaching for ecclesiastical
pursuits; but he conducted services
in St. Paul's Methodist Protes?tant
church, Baltimore, last Sunday
in the manner of an experienced minister.
The infant preacher for the last six
months has beer, speaking before congregations
in Salisbury and nearby
towns. Sunday's services were the
first the child has conducted in Baltimore,
and he came at the invitation
of the Rev. F. D. Feynolds, pastor of
St. Paul's.
His father says that the boy has
ha?d no Biblical instruction other than
the Bible stories and passages which
have been read to him in his home
and at Sunday school.
She Kn^w Him.
A young and eligible bachelor was
planning to refurnish and redecorate
his apartment, and wished to have
the walls newly papered. Knowing his
landlord very well socially, he resolvin
nail rmp evenina and make his
wants known.
On his arrival, he found his landlord
was out. However, the charming
daughter admitted him, and after
the usual exchange of greetings he
said:
"I have come, Miss Rentworth, to
ask two very important questions of
your father, and hope that both may
receive favorable answers.
Miss Rentworth replied: "I'll be
very glad to deliver any message on
father's return."
"But," he continued in a pocular
vein, "one of these questions relates
to you. I was going to ask your
father for your hand, and for some
new wallpaper as well."
"If that's all," she flashed back, "1
think dad might give you my hand;
but, knowing him as I do, I can offer
you no encouragement about the
wallpaper."?Judge.
RECORD CROP OF OATS
i Dillon Farmer Gets Yield of 80
Bushels to Acre.
(From the Dillon Herald.)
I.Mr. T. C. Sherwood, well known
I farmer of the Little Rock section, has
produced what may be the record
yield of oats for the State. Mr. Sherwood
planted the oats in January,
gathered them in May and got eightyfive
bushels to the acres. This would
have been a remarkable yield for
oats planted in the fall and harvested
in June, but the yield is still more
remarkable for oats planted in January
and harvested in May. Mr. Sher|
wood is a modest man and the fact
did not become known until a few
days ago when a group of gentlemen
gathered near the Bank of Dillon
w-ere comparing the net profits between
25 cents cotton and oats at 60
cents a bushel, and Mr. Sherwood, in
speaking of the profit in oats of his
wonderful yield.
Fighting The Corn Weevil.
Clemson College, Nov. 28.?The
heavy 109s from the corn weevil,
! particularly in the Piedmont section,
I has brougllk many inquiries for conj
trol methods. Large amounts of
corn have already been ruined in the
fields.
The use of pure seed of standard
varieties and careful annual selection
of ears well covered at the tips
will do much to relieve the trouble,
says J. H. Carbery, Extension Agronomist
in Plant Breeding, who advises
also that where weevil infestation
is heavy, the corn should be
shucked in the field to avoid storing
the weevil for further damage in the
corn crib.
^r liira nror intPr in
.UcUiy rtccmo 11IU w I
nubbin ears left in field, therefore
such ears shoulid be carefully removed.
Since most corn cribs are of open
construction, carbon bisulphide can
not be used very effectively particularly
where large quantities of
corn are stored. Under such conditions
better results may be obtained
by hanging building paper of cloth
! curtains around the exterior of the
| corn crib, fitting closely to prevent
1 escape of the gas. Cloth treated with
| beeswax or a mixture of paraffin and
| gasoline will serve well and last a
| long time, arid it can be removed and
1 replaced as desired.
I Where the bulk of corn is too great
! to fumigate effective from the top
I in the usual way, the liquid may be
i conducted to the point of distribuI
tion on the interior of the pile
! through small gas pipes. A thorough
j fumigation of the corn will kill not
! only weevils but also rats and mice
if means of escape are cut off. Smaller
quantities of corn, peas, etc., may
be fumigated in a close house, boxes,
! or other containers by placing a saucI
er of the carbon bisulphide on top of
I the erain. etc., to be fumigated and
covering the container closely.
Instructions as to quantities of
carbon bisulphide to use are given in
j Information Card 25, "Fumigating
Stored Grain," which may be had
| from county agents or from the Exj
tension Service, Clemson College, S.

We Sleep Too Liltle
Most busy people sleep too little.
I Not enough time is given to the nej
cessary physical repairs which this
j most strenuous modern pace dej
mands.
The vitality lowered and we are
subject to ills of the flesh that other|
wise would be averted. Old age is
encouraged and our ' personality af|
fected.
It is claimed that as a race we
I sleep too little. An infant's life is
' nearly all sleep. Gradually, as the
I child grows older, the hours of sleep
j are shortened to half the day or
about eight hours.
Youth, until the age of 20 is reached,
requires fully 10 hours' sleep.
Although nature demands less
hours of sleep in summer than in
winter, it has proved that eight
hours of sleep is required for the
average male adult in good health.
By this is meant not simply eight
hours in bed, but that amount of
good sound, restful sleep night after
night.
Our power to work is intimately
related to our ability to sleep, and
there is no more reliable indication
of sound health than the capacity
to sleep naturally.?Baltimore

Parlor Story.

"Boss, how do yo' want vo eggs,'
inquired the waiter.
"Oh. you can eliminate the eggs.'

The chief scratched his head, "Sam

! SENTENCE IS COMMUMTED
1 Xegro Given Freedom by Governor
Harvey.
Columbia, Dec. 1.?Governor Har-|
l vey this afternoon at 5.4 5 o'clock
; commuted the death sentence of
I David Brannum, a negro of Orange
burg, to seven years imprisonment
, and fifteen minutes later suspended
this later sentence "during good bel
havior the Governor to so.'ely deter
mine the compliance or non-comi
pliance," with the good behavior
! clause.
Brannum was convicted at Orange
burg County about four years ago, of
; criminal assault on a youthful mem'
ber of his race and was sentenced to
i death. The negro appealed, and, \
l due to a change in the office force in
Orangeburg, the solicitor becoming a
1 Congressman and the negro's lawi
yer the solicitor, the case was lost
i track of and the negro remained in j
the State penitentiary without any
definite status, except being under
sentence of death with no date for
execution.
1 Many appeals have been made to
' Governor Harvey in behalf of t'he
' negro, the concensus of opinion be|
ing that the negro was not guilty
of the crime charged, and that his
1 conviction was due to the excitement
engendered by the unnatural'
ness of the supposed offense. The
Governor decided on clemency and
' so worded his papers that he thinks
misbehavior on the part of Brannum
in the future will cause him to serve
the remaining three years of his sentence.
Divine Guidance.
The Williston Way.
For the first time in its history,
court was recently opened in Bam
' berg county by Special Judge Evans
of Edgefield with prayer. Yet why
shouldn't the blessing and guidance
of Almighty God be asked in this
most solemn andseriousundertaking?
Our courthouses should stand along
with our churches and schoolhouses
as milestones of safety against the
agencies Chat would tear down the
fabric of society. The newspaper accounts
of the trial of William Faries
in York last week state that the jury
assembled in the jury room and
' prayed for guidance and then
brought in a verdict of first degree
murder?the only verdict they could
find for had they decided otherwise
1 the State could not justly execute the
1 inmates of the death cells in Columbia,
yet these twelve men realized the
1 seriousness of their responsibility and
wanted lig^ht from above. Judge
Peurifoy in passing sentence on Faries,
1 who had taken the lives of four persons,
two of them small children,
said: "I recommend to you the Christian
religion. It sustained the
martvrs and will sustain you. Minis
ters who will come to see you in Columbia
(where condemned are executed)
will comfort you. Your body
will be sacrificed but your soul may
be free through the gracious mercy
of Jesus Christ." Truly a better day
is dawning when our jurors and
judges are looking above for light.
May others follow their example
should be our earnest 'hope and prayer.
Fitting Text.
______
A colored preacher in Alabama had
at one time served a short jail sentence
arid was fearful lest his congregation
discover the fact, as in his
later years he had been a model of
rectitude. One Sunday, rising to begin
his sermon, his heart sank to see
a former cellmate sitting in the front
row. Quick thinking was necessary.
Fixing his eye on the unwelcome
guest, the preacher announced solemnly:
"An takes mah text dis mo'nin'
from de sixtv-fo'th chaptah and
fo' hundredth verse of de book of
Job, which says: 'Dem as see and
knows me, aiid says nothin', dem will
Ah see later.' "?The Argonaut.
