Harley, business man of Barnwell, who was ar rested here Thursday on a warrant is sued by United States Commissioner Julian S. Wolfe charging him with violation of section 121 of the general statutes in which it is alleged he conspired with and assisted Louis B. Gantt who was also arrested charged with committing several forgeries of bills of lading, gave bond this after noon in the sum of 24,000. Edgar A. Brown, of Barnwell, came to Orangeburg with several persons who were interested in Mr. Harley. Mr. Brown stated that he had been out of the State for seveeral days and that he hadn’t had an opportunity to confer with Mr. Harley regarding the al leged facts bi rh*» case, but a« soon is he had an opportunity to review the case that most probably a statement would be issued. Mr. Harley, when questioned by m commissioner, stated he didn’t care ^nake a statement until he h«d eon- erred with his attorney, Mr. Brown. The bond was signed by W. W. Harley, father of the defendant, upon a certificate issued by the clerk of court of Barnwell Courty. The bond as given by Mr. Herley is returnable at the Aiken term of court on September 23rd, and it is doubtful if a prelimirary hearing will be held, althcugh Mr. Brown, council for Mr. Harley, stated if a hearing was re quested he would later write the com mits iorer. Mr. Harley was arrested upon a confessed statement of facts made to the officers by Mr. Gartt, who was arrested at Holly Hill on Thursday morning after he had received money on a forged bill of lading. No effort to far has been made to secure the release of Mr. Gantt whose bord was also placed at $4,000, but it was reported hit family would be here soon to see him.

Beginning Saturday of last weeks the town authorities began a rigid* enforcement of the traffic ordinances regardirg parking, speeding, etc., hi the towr* of Barnwell, and as a result' 20 drivers, both men and women, were fined one dollar each by Mayor B. W. Sexton. These drivers failed to observe the “stop” signals at the intersection of Main and Burr Streets, either through carelessness or ignor ance of the proposed enforcement of the ordinances. Failure of out-of- town, drivers to stop at the signals brought a warning from the police of ficers, but ro fine was imposed. ■ Last week, the town authorities had severa Ihundred circulars printed and distributed to automobile drivers, warr ing them of the proposed enforce ment of the traffic laws and requesting that the following rules be observed; “Do not drive car while under the influence of whiakey. “Avoid reckleat drivirg at all times. “Obey all stop signals. “On paved portion of streets, park *t curb in space and manner indicat ed by white liras painted on paving and curt). Parking away from curb or in center of street will not be allowed at any time. “Or North aide of Main Street, from Weiner’s store to office of Dr. Milhous, no vehicle will be allowed to park longer than five minutes. “Keep away from fire . hydrants. Parking inside of pairtad fret at fire hydrants is expressly forbiddaa. “All vehicles must have mufflers. Keep cut out closed. “By observing these rules you will aid in relieving the congested oordi- tion of the streets. Failure to de so will render you liable to a fine or imprisonment, la it rot easier te ob- serve the rules than, pay s fine of $6.00 or more? W« thank you for your co operation.” Now, if the ordinance agaicat spssd ing will be enforced, Barnwell will bo a much safer place k which te lire. Some drivers apparently think that Main, Marlboro and other thorough fares are speedways and soma nee them as race courses. Fortuaatoly, ‘the number of such drivers is not large and it is believed that a few finee will have a very wholesome effect.
