At a meeting called by Solicitor Blackwell and held lin the Court Ilouse .Monday morning, ways and neans of Combatting !aw violations were dIs cussed. rTe meeting was attended by most of the law olicers of (lhe county, magistraters, members of the grand jury, Mayor labb and several of the Jity !pojliceIten. ,Thei -eonseislus of opilioni was that iaturens County is not suffering as mu1ch as other counll ties from the crime wave said to be -prevalent. in the siate, credit being givon by some present to the rural po live system as well as the vigilance of individual rural polieeniwi and other peace o(llcerI of the coility. It was gelierally admitld that. there has been an inc rease of crile inl the conilty. This was laced to several Caui ses. Clerk of Vourt C. A. I'ower. who was present, ascribed part of it to a general breaklowli of Ile ,.ociaI fabric ille to the war. Mayor lIlabb gave vagrancy and its associate evil, pistol carrying. as the principal ob stacle to law enforcement with which he had to deal. These two evils were generally adumitted to be at. the calse of llost criminiltality ill the county al present. Others spoke of ithe wliskey evil, the lprincipal trouble from this soiret being due to lax enforeetit of the law inl ieighboIrtig eonttini. of SGreenville, Greeniwood and N.v.wrry. Police ollicers reported that whiskey was being broight from these conl ii ties and distributed in I .atturlls ocuni ty, though there were ev idenices of a few stills iti Ithis ottnty which were being located. Solicitor llackweli said that this had been taketi uji with the Governor and ho had promised relief from that quarter. luch discussion centered arotnd the problem of coti coaled weapons, but the problei re mahied unsolved. White tmetn Who loaned negroes pistols and who Inter vened in their behalf after arrest were given credit for much lawlessness frotii this soutree. h'lie sent1tient pre valled that sentenices should bx 1 le more severe In the future for carrying jIvs tols, it also b'einlg polited out that to loan a pistol to another was inlawful. The remlledy for comnbatting the pre valent. lawlessness was generally ad mitted to be lonlild in the co-operation of the peop1e. Those who lkntow of law violations of atny kind 1111st r'eiort it if the count11ry Is to bie fteedl fromi crininals.
