SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 19S6. NUMBER f. Courts Too Easy on Liquor Law Breakers R. B. Pickling, of Blckville, Cite* Sentences Imposed at Recent Barnwell Term. The Hon. R. B. Pickling, of Black- Ville, a former member of the house of representatives from Barnwell County, is protesting against the “ex tremely light” sentences imposed by circuit judges upon violators of the prohibition laws and cites ten sen tences imposed by Judge Featherstone at Barnwell last month as verifying his contention that the courts are too easy on these law-breakers. Mr. Pick ling writes as follows to The State: To the Editor of The State: I surely appreciate your editorial of October 2nd. I have watched for quite a while the light sentences given those convicted of crime. I am mailing you a clipping from the Barnwell People-Sentinel of Sep tember 24th showing the extremenly light sentences given numbers of vio lators of the prohibition law and this session presided over by a judge who ran for governor on the prohibition ticket. We have a sheriff who is trying hard to stop crime in this county and is running down prohibition violators and this is the result after his efforts. If the judges would make heavier fines and longer time on the chain- gangs this crime would be greatly de creased. R. B. PICKLING. Blackville. Sentences at Barnwell. The clipping inclosed by Mr. Pick ling report* prohibition law cases tried in fall term of general aeasiona for Barnwell County before Judge Feath- erstone with sentences as follows: So otnon Dunbar and Cal Smith pleaded guilty to the charge of violat ing the prohibition law and each was sentenced to pay a fine of 910 or serve 30 days, fine paid. Add Kinard. violation of the prohi bition law. pleaded guilty, sentenced to pay fine of 910 or serve 90 days, paid fine.

The Barnwell high school football team defeated Elloree high, 7 to 0, here Friday afternoon in a hard fought game. Barnwell completely outplayed the visitors from the opening kickoff to the closing whistle. The majority of the game was played in Elloree terri tory with the visitors playing a de fensive game throughout. .Barnwell’s hard charging line was led by Black, who played an excellent game on both offensive and defensive. The backfield play was featured by C. Sanders on offense and defense and by Milhous on offense. Both of these boys played excellent ball and Sanders’ defensive work was in a large part responsible for Elloree’s failure to gain. Late in the third period Sanders carried the ball over for the only touchdown of the game and Lemon added the extra point by making a beautiful catch of a pass. To date Barnwell has played two games, defeating Elloree Friday af ternoon and holding the strong North high team to a scoreless tie here the previous Friday afternoon. Crippled Children's Clink. Anderson Legislator Id to Wannamaker Representative Rufus 1V9. Newton Says He Is Not Pledged to Cheraw M^n for Speaker.

I believe in recognizing faithful ser vice in the house and seniorit/." Dislikes Caucus Idea.
