The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, May 30, 1968—PAGE 5 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) Death is also there. Death in the person of a young lad, scarcely in his teens, who scrawls the letters KILL in the dust as he watches his in tended victims. Death came in the night for two who did not deserve it. Death robbed them of this world while their killer lived— and lives today—lives today through the strange machina tions of a system so arranged that in its preoccupation with mechanics, it loses sight entire ly of the guilt involved. How many lives down the years ahead have already been unwittingly and remorselessly doomed through this system? The youthful killer is still alive and free. The piano player we mentioned is incarcerated a- gain—but for how long? Society will see that his wants are cared for and will protect him and pay for him. The irrigators are gone to mingle with the soil they work ed in and be forever forgotten as a sacrifice to something I confess I cannot understand: If mercy were involved, it might make sense. But mercy is des troyed upon a bed of nails— distorted out of reason, and left mangled and helpless. What kind of world is this that cares not for the Margue- rita Bejaranos or the irriga tors, but dissolves in maudlin tears for those who take life? How many more must die before we again come to the realization that the good man obeys the law because he fears God, and the bad man because fears the consequences if he gets caught? Reason tells us that if the consequences are neither swift or certain, or sufficient, then the fear is minimized. money on display, according to William J. Raffield, vice pre- ident. The exhibit, obtained from the Federal Reserve Bank, of Richmond, will continue to be on display through the remain der of this week. Denominations of currency in the exhibit range from $5 to $100. The bills are arranged side by side so that the viewer may try his luck at deciding which bill of each set is gen uine and which is counterfeit. When a button corresponding to the number of each note is pressed, a light flashes. The green light means go—you can spend it. The red light means stop—it’s counterfeit. “Many people don’t stop to look at their money,” Raffield said, “and although some bogus bills are very skillfully repro duced, many counterfeit notes are easy to spot.” Mr. Raffield cited several things to look for when trying to detect counter feit money, the portrait in par ticular. The hairline and eyes may be slightly irregular in the portrait of a counterfeit note, and the screening around the portrait may not be as well defined. Other telltale signs are irregular serial numbers, off-color numbers and seals, and omission of silk threads in the paper of the bill. Mr. Raffield added that ex perienced bank personnel be come quite adept at detecting counterfeit money. The overall appearance of a bill will gen erally be enough to alert these employees after just a quick glance. Frequently an exper ienced counter can feel the difference. The counterfeit exhibit is being displayed at the Main Office of SON to give residents of Newberry and Newberry county an opportunity to take a close look at counterfeit cur rency side by side with gen uine currency.
