TAKE MUTILATED BODIES OF
r
BARNWELL MEN FROM RIVER
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
Thirteen doMarg and 81 cent* were
found on the body of the negro. Har
ley's watch was stopped at 12:55 o'
clock.
News of the finding of the bodies
quickly spread and Allendale was
filled Sunday afternoon with curious
visitors from all sections of the
lower part of the State.
Goes to Penitentiary.
Columbia, January 27.— Carroll
Fowke, a young white man of Lynd-
hurst, Barnwell County, wanted for
investigation in connection with the
murder of Frank Harley, of Kline and
Shan Bates, Harley’s negro compan
ion, whose bodies were located yes
terday in the Savannah River, after
a week’s search, reported to the
State penitentiary in Columbia yes
terday.
According to J. Austin Latimer,
secretary of Governor Richards,
Fowke, who is 28 years old, was not
placed under arrest but came to Col
umbia after making a statement to
Solicitor Randolph Murdaugh, of
Varnville, who has been conducting
the investigation.
Fowke, although not under arrest,
Mr. Latimer said, is being held for
further investigation in the case.
Solicitor Murdaugh advised Fowke to
come to the penitentiary and the
young man made the trip to Colum
bia unaccompanied by officers, so far
as it could be learned by Mr. Latimer.
Fowke’* incarceration brings the
total number of people jailed in the
case to seven with one other man,
George Washington, still at large.
“Ausie” Moore was arrested first
and implicated Monroe Harden and L.
P. Ready, both white men, and Wash
ington. These three men are being
held in the penitentiary, while three
negroes are being held in the Allen
dale County jail as material witnesses.
Poor Soil—Low Yields.

Nobody’s Business i;

The Cause of the Crime Wave.
The main reason why crime is so
rampant in our land today is—crimi
nals are no longer punished for their
crimes. The average jail is far bet
ter than the average criminal’s home.
M6st of the law-breakers now con
sider a few weeks or a few month® in
jail a comfortable vacation.
Jails and pens all have steam heat
and good beds and excellent food and
recreation grounds and satisfactory
clothing and lots of freedom. If one
of our welfare workers happens to
find a fly speck in the kitchen at a
jail, a terrible howl goes up and the
earth mourns.
2.—don’t keep no wood cut ahead,
there aint no telling when the federal
land bank will sell mr. smith's farm
and you wil hafter move, look after
yore dog house and keep out cold
wind ansoforth as cold wind causes
black tung and mange, if you have a
good dog treat her right.
V
3.—begin calling on yore landlord
often for meat and flour and lard and
coffee and sugar and salmon and salad
dressing and bananas and money for
gas and oil and tell him he will have
to get you a spare and possibly 2 new
front casings, as you don’t want to
drive his mules when a ford is cheaper
on him.
„ Chambers of Commerce can help
by sending Mr. Hoover a list of the
proposed improvements and building
operations in their respective towns,
for instance: 84 new filling stations
are under construction in our town
and vicinity; 14.back piazza’s are be
ing floored in West End, and the
1790 cars that were without license
tags are being (gradually) tagged
and oozing out of their hiding places,
thanks to the Intermediate Credit
Bank.
The average prisoner today (ex
clusive of county convicts) fares just
about as well as the average work
ing man. The only difference » —
the average prisoner can’t go rabbit
hunting and bird-shooting and fish^
grabbing quite as often as the aver
age working man.
It is not right to abuse criminals
nor is it right to deny them of reason
ably comfortable surroundings, but it
invites crime to make pets of them.
The public does not know it, but
thousands of people just as soon be in
a good jail somewhere as be out in the
cold, cold world trying to make a
living.
Several Barnwell County banks uni
ted to give a message to farmers in
The People-Sentinel, reading like this
for a heading: “Poor soil means low
yields. Low yields mean less money
for farmers, merchants and bankers.”
Then follows the statement that the
average yield of cotton in Barnwell
County is 140 pounds of lint to the
acre, and corn averages 14 bushels
per acre. The advice is given that
winter cover crops should be planted
to enrich the soil, this being the cheap
est way to fertilize the land, and
thereby increase the production to a
bale to the 'acre and 30 bushels of
com, which has been done frequently
by foreseeing farmers.
We have often wondered what
would be the result if farmers would
cut their acreage down to about one-
fourth what they usually cultivate;
and work and fertilize their land just
like they do their gardens.' We are
'lure our farmers try to cultivate too
t “If The “same crops could
be made on half or fourth of the land
bow much labor it would save, and
how much greater would be the per
acre profits.
There are gardens in Bamberg
which we are sure produce at least a
thousand dollars worth of produce to
the acre. Why waste so much energy
on a big acreage if the same crops
tan be intensively produced on half
the land?—Bamberg Herald.

Now here is my plan to afflict the
prisoners that aie now incarcerated
in jails and penitentiaries with the
harsh punishment that they deserve begin yore spring loafing,
and if the said plan is carried out,
crime will show a '99 per cent de
preciation in 10 years:
1. Require them to reed “NO
BODY’S BUSINESS” daily.
2. Force them to memorize a page
in the Congressional Record.
3. Feed them on spinach once a
week.
5. Take them to the talkies.
6. See that they bathe twice a
week.
7. Demand that they study the
Einstein theory.
8. Let a politician speak to them
once a month.
9. Listen in on Jazz nightly.
10. Drink home-brew before meals.
11. Require them to shave every
morning.
12. Make them read the president’s
message.
13. Force them to sleep in paja
mas. ^ "
14. Give them a dose of castor oil
every summer. ,
15. Send them to the dentist once
a month.

16. Let them hear some women
play bridge.
17. Urge all visitors to ask them
what they’re there for. r
18. —Make them write home to their
wives once a year.
20. Keep some crowing roosters in
the back yards.
4.—if you have no cow, make your
landlord buy you one by the time
grass gets big enuff to feed her on.
don’t fool with no pig: depend on
yore "lan'dlord. try not ‘to annoy
early plowing, the long distance fore
caster says we will have a dry spring
so why hurry, noboddy won’t kick
but yore landlord.
Children in school shall be required
vt<hsay the following 24 times a day:
“Every day in every way, pa says
business is getting gooder and good-
er.” Banks shall pile all of their
money on the desks just beyond the
iron gratings (on the inside) where
folks (on the outside) can see it and
bank clerks must constantly holler at
the president and ask him where to
pile that last train load of 20-dollar
bills that has just arrived.
5.—if you run short of fire wood,
tare t!he flooring out of the barn
loft and burn it. yore landlord can’t
help hisself and he can have some
more sawed, if you are working on
halves, sell a little bit of your land
lord’s corn and fodder and get some
early spring vegetables with viti-
mins in them for yore family’s sake,
yore landlord won’t know it.
Service clubs should spread the
glad <tidings of the “business rush”
that is now abroad in the land. If
a man should be heard to say that
business is dull, a member of a ser
vice club should be delegated to go
and shoot him behind the smoke
house immediately. After each meet
ing, the president of the club should
send Mr. Hoover the following tele
gram: “Every day in every way,
business is better and better.” '
hire somebody else to do so and let
them fetlh them back thru the back
door. Every shoulder must be put to
the wheel, and push, push, PUSH.
That’s all we need to bring back our
wanted prosperity.

nish you monney to buy green truck
with, when the weather gets fair

Yes, sir ree, Gentlemen: business is

Clear the Track fop Prosperity.
In order that we might carry^otrF
Pres. Hoover’s prosperity scheme,
we must all say—“Every day in every
way, business is better and better.”
This should be mumbled at intervals"
of 10 minutes. No matter how sorry
trade is, merchants must lie and tell
inquiring friends that “business is
fine.” •

Timely Hints to Tenant Farmers.
1.—don’t cut anny sprouts or clean
off anny terraces or fix anny fences,
that is the landlord’s bizness. if you
need some kindling so’s the old
woman can start fires every morning,
pull some shingles off of the back
house or cow-shed.
