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.
