* 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.

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

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 ^

W. P. Lewis testified that he had f

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

hat there had been a lot of complain1 i

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,
