THE OFFICIAL NEW SPA m OF BARNWELL HHJNTT
Barnwell
Orangeburg, Jure 22.—J. B. 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.

Friday night, at 9:15, a man and a
woman told W. A. Dukes, rural police
man at Branchville that his rame was
H. H. Pinder; that the woman was
his sister; that they were traveling
from Florida to Ohio; that they had
been held up near Bamberg by three
men in a De Soto car, who had robbed
them of three hundred dollars and
their Cadillac car.
They spent the night at Sunset Inn
in Branchville and left nex t morn
ing for Savannah.
Friday night late, State Constable
Clayton turned in to Deputy Wimberly
at the Dorchester jail a Cadillac car
ard 13 gallons of whiskey, which he
said he had captured at Buck’s Ford.
There were two occupants of the car
when it was stopped, but they eescap-
ed by running.
This information was given Officer
Dukes, who had Pirder and his sis
ter arrested at Fairfax and returned to
Branchville Saturday, where they were
kept until Monday, awaiting action by
Sheriff Jessen. As he took ro action,
they were released, the Orangeburg
officer having nothing on which to
base a warrant.
Special Deputy Rex Berry notified
Sheriff Jessen that the car turned in
by Constable Clayton had been- identi
fied by its numbers as the car Pinder
claimed had been stolen from him.
When returned tb Brar.ehville Pin
der said his first story was false. He
said he was carrying 39 cases of
iquor including some champagne,
rom Florida to Ohio; that the three
men had stopped him near Warren-
ville; that they wore badges and
said they were officers; that they said
they worked out of Charleston ind

Charleston; that when they got to
lamberg they asked Pirder how
much money he had; that he replied
>300; that they said they would take
the money, the car and whiskey and
et him and his sister go; that he gave
them the $300; that they asked him
low much it would take to get him
and his sister to Ohio; that they re
turned $100, when he said he would
reed that amount; that he asked that

Jure 23rd, at the old Ross home on

than urder the row of giant live-oak
trees that stand at this home. Dinner
was spread promptly at twelve o'
clock ar.d for the following hour no
talk was heard of hand times, grassy
crop# or boll weevils. All appeared
to enjoy themselves ard hope to meet
many times in the future and enjoy
such a day as was spent Sunday order
those worderful old live-oaks.
Services will be held every second
Sunday at the Ashleigh Church by the
Rev, Luther Still, of Blackville.
Miss Hazel Porter, of Elko, spent

Mr. ard Mrs. J. M. Halford and chil

were the guests of their parents, Mr.

Branch section, Sunday afternoon.
A number of people in this section
are planning to attend the revival
meeting which will be held at Long
Branch Church, begirning the accord
Sunday in July.
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.
