The habit of writing and mailing
unsigned letters in this section had
stopped to a great extent until quite
recently the rural policeman, V. D.
Johnson, received one purporting to
be signed by a committee of women in
the Pee Dee section requiring action
in destroying whiskey stills. When the
matter wa? brought to the attention
of the county board wlio appoints the
rural policemen, the board stated that
the policemen could not pay any attention
to unsigned letters. That is of
course the right thing to do. There is
no way of telling who furnished the
information and who to hold responsible.
A man cannot be indicted on a
letter of that kind. The accuser must
come out in the open an disclose their,
his or her identity to the officers if to
nobody else.

The criminal court convenes on the
first Monday in June. Witnesses and
jurors will regret the loss they will i
sustain at that .time in maturing to- (
lvcco crops. Hut it will be still worse
in July when the coui't of common
pleas will convene on the first Monday
in that month, though the worst ofj
the tobacco housing may be over by |
that time; but the important part of
marketing will be on hand to take up
