Thursday" sept-2 8 ~i 922 ************************** * < * * BLAMING THE OFFICERS | * * ************************** Any man who is disposed to lay blame on offiicers of the law for the frequent violations of the criminal law, will withdraw his complaint when he stops to consider and under??tands the causes leading to crime : and the many difficulties under which the officers have to work. In the first place we should never 1 underestimate the value to us of the i mere appointment and existence of 1 men whose duty it is to execute the laws and see that the penalties im- ( posed for their violation .are meted out * to the transgressors. The mere fact that such men are provided for under our laws has a great deal to do in the lessening of crime from what crime ( would be in case there were no executive officers to carry out the terms of punishment. In the next place we should realize that crime has always existed. If this had not been so there would have been no reason for the making of criminal laws and the election of ! men to enforce them. As the world progressed in the development of the good, in the same or greater proportion it progressed in the cunning and daring of those who would violate the laws. New crimes have come about. New forms of old crimes have been ' evolved from the shades of the past. New ways of committing murder de-s veloped and new ways of concealing the perpetrator. These things have made it hard for the officers of the law to keep apace with the trend of crime. It is a mistake to blame the officers of the law in all cases. Such things as the wrongful exercise of the pardoning power can have more to do with the increase of crime than ljt the common carelessness of the sheriff s and constables. Some men are filled with spite and ill will against society. If their punishment is reasonably certain to come to pass and they believe that it will, there is a restraining influence to keep down the inclination to commit lawless acts against the public. Where there is hope of pardon the chances are in favor of taking the risk. This is the reason why crime bre?Vs out in some states while not breaking out in other states of the union. The condition was brought about by the exercise of the pardoning power. Judges all over South Carolina hjave talked of the great increase of crime in South Carolina during the last few years since the election of Blease the first time, and his wholesale emptying of the prisons. His Tvction in that rr^nrd had its full ef* A _ _ _ i n ii n Tect on every criminal in ?>ouui Carolina and it was an effect which has lasted through the several years that have passed away since. That which encouraged the seasoned criminal to repeat his acts of lawlessness, caused the criminally inclined to think more and more of taking the risk. To the minds of the criminal class of people, things had changed in South Carolina so that they would place in the Governor's chair a man that would take pity on them, where pity was not deserved and let them nut. again on a long-suffering community. At this time, at lenst, there is no room for blame on the general run of sheriffs and constables in South Carolina. They are doing the best that thev can. o * X- * * * * -X- X- -X- X- -X- -X- X- X- -X- -X- -X- -X- -X- -X- X- -X- -X- * * X* * * HORRY HKRAMMXG % * * ************************* flit is only the man who does ncr v ant to work who says tho-. ? is noth inr for him to ?!?> . o The man who brings success out of failure is the man who believed that it could be done and that it could l?c done by him. o How can tobacco growers expect to get a good price from any source fo: their product when they let the tobac co rot for lack of attention? o The great mystery is life itself What is it?

AYNOR PEOPLE ATTENDED ? \ Main Charge Was the Ignoring t of One Member of Trustee Board t c The countv hoard of education held i ' i s i meeting last week for the purpose v of passing upon the petition of J. B. \McCutcheon to have *L. R. Hagood re- j "loved ns one of the trustees of the \ Aynor Free Public School. Tlio hearing1 took place at the courthouse he- ^ fore the full board, consisting of Superintendent E. C. Allen, Messrs. ^ Arland J. Baker and T. B. Lewis. ^ The occasion turned out a number l of prominent people from the Aynor ^ section of the county who appeared to ^ he ereatly interested. j Those gathered at the hearing to look on at the proceedings, appear- \ ently had an interest in the cause of 1 education and many of them com- : mended Mr. Hagood and said they , never found any cause for complaint. j It appeared that the petitioner had . not been a patron of the school, hut said that he was a would-be patron, j It appeared that while Hagood had j not l>een a patron of the school las* vear, that he had two children that would attend the school at the present j session. This hearing was, in some respects, | similar to a number of hearings that . have been held before the county ( board last year, all on the subject of , the removal of trustees, the moving of school houses, the question of an extra tax on the natrons of some dis trict, or the building of a new school house, or the consolidation of two or more schools into one. It appeared that neighborhood bickerings and community envy and ill will over trifles had more to do in the development of this hearing than actual interest in the welfare of the free school. Wherever a patron of the school gets dissatisfied with the action of trustees, he will refuse to wait until tho trustees can be changed by natural sequence and will make the attempt of moving the offensive member iust then. This is what the hearing last week appeared to be?an effort to remove the trustee in the midst of the running session of the school and not waiting until the present term should be over to get a new tru: tee appointed. At least this was the luirden of the showing attempted to be made and the argument of the respondent's attorney which f ollowed. On tho part of the petitioner, represented by the Hon. it. B. Scarborough, after the petitioner had been himself sworn, the following gentle- I I Wood For | At pre-war prices | keep you warm t Iter months at t per lo Conway 14|22-4t THE HORRY HERALD, CON 1 ien were sworn as witnesses: W. P. 1 ewis, J. T. Shelly, and K. W. Jones. * McCutcheon said that he had been nth a committee that had been apointed to get information from the rustees as to why they could not coperate with each other and work "for t he advantage of the school. He said < hey went to the home of Hagood and he question was put to him and that ( ie answered by saying that he did 1 iot believe there had been a regular neeting of the board of trustees ^ ince* Mr. Lewis had been appointed m the board. j W. P. Lewis testified that he had f eon ignored in the holding of meet- j ngs of the trustees, the board then insisting of himself, L. R. Hagood. ind Dr. W. E. King; that teachers lad been employed without consulting him. He was cross examined by he attornev for tlip rosnonHnnt eining his statements made before :i \ neeting "*f the -chool improvement \ issociation. H? said in substance hat he had come to the office of the Superintendent of Education to ascerain how the school money had been ;pent, and found an item of .about >450, which covered several items of expenses, including- rent; that he went >ack and told of this before the meetng and stated that a portion of the tem had been rent and that the item ippeared to have been paid to George lolliday by the trustees and that here had been no rent due unless it vas for paying Dr. King for the use >f a part of an office in the E. M. ?raham building, or words to that efect. He said that afterwards J. B. /IcCutcheon had come to him and exilained that the item covered incik-ntal expenses such as wood for the chool building, desks purchased for ho house, and did not cover any rent whatever. He acknowledged that he ad never publicly stated that he havl eon mistaken nor had he made any .mends to the trustees vho had been barged with this spending of the cl.ool funds. 1 T ni mi 11 J i i i ' i * * <i. i. oneuy statea mat tne scnooi | ifTairs had not been satisfactory. < Vhen asked to specify he explained c hat there had been a lot of complain1 i ?y patrons. c K. W. Jones said in his testimony hat Hagood and J. D. Chestnut had 1 erne to his place on one occasion to c ;ee about a matter that Hagood had aid that he could not co-operate nth Mr. Lewis for the reason that he tad practically accused him of stealng the school money and that this , wis not so, etc. ( This ended the showing by the peti- , ioner, and the respondent, L. R. Ha- ! rood took the stand. He read his reurn to the order to show cause. He old of his being informed of statements made by Mr. Lewis before he citizens' meeting to the effect that the school funds shown by the item of $450.00 had been spent in such a way as to amount to a theft of the school money; and that he did not feel that he could be on very friendly terms with a man who would accuse him of such things. He went on to show that he had never had any formal notice of the appointment of Mr. Lewis on the board; that he ha 1 been informed by the County Superintendent that he had not at that time signed the appointment of W. P. Lewis as a trustee. Nevertheless, he had been knowing the fact that a notice of the trustees' meeting held on May 12th, 1922, had been mailed to Mr. Lewis about one o'clock on the day of the meeting and calling his attention to the meeting that would be held that night; that this letter, he afterwards found out, had not been put in the Aynor postoffice in time for it to be delivered to him on that day, (Continued on back page.) ru:u k:MiU VslIllU-Ull 111 Valuable Illustrated Book Sent Frmm IIow thousands of women, by the simple method of an eminent physician, have avoided unnecessary miseries through many months and up to the moment Itaby has arrived, is fully HQajr explained in the romarkablo.
