As announced in a communicatit published in The Record last we< )ver the signature of Hon J J 3raham, a meeting of the couni ielegation was held at the cou louse last Saturday at noon. ] addition to the delegation the: vere present Hon W D Bryan, for nan, and members the grar jury, rural policemen and other senator Epps acted as chairman ar sailed the meeting to order. The object of the meeting, i itated by Representative J J M Gr: lam, was to get the sentiment < he people on the rural police que ion?as to whether the presei !orce should be retained and add ional appointments made as recon nended by the grand jury or whetl ir the office should be abolishe 'ntirely. Mr Stancill, rural policeman, wi isked by Mr Epps to give his viev in the blind tiger situation in h ection of the county and replie hat the illicit traffic in liquor wt ess than it was a year ago, althoug t was still going on, but that h ould not get hold of violators b< ause parties who patronize blin igers would not swear against then tesidents in different communitiei le stated, were of the opinion the he presence of rural police detei iolators of law and reduces crime Mr Allen,rural policeman at Gre< yville, stated that "there are blin igers in my section and will be a Dng as there is anyone there." H aid the blind tiger was hard to catch s he kept a careful watch upon th mcers; he thought the gallons nonth law was abused in many in tances, as a man could order tha mount for every adult member o is family. Representative Wallace placed no o much stress upon the liquor ques ion in connection with the rurs olice, because it was the duty o he police to look out for and sup ress lawlessness of any kind. No hould the qualifications of a rurs oliceman be based upon the amoun f dollars and cents collected b; im as penalties for law violations ut that the keeping of order am trict observance of the law withou aving to haul men into court shoul e significant of a competent polic fficer. He believed the gram ury's recommedation should b upported. Representative S A Graham sai : was his opinion "that if you cui ail the sale of liquor in the count y blind tigers you will reduce th umber of criminal cases coming int his court house." It was obviou roin the outset that the majorit resent were in favor of retaininj he rural police. There being no further discussio lembers of the delegation went ir o executive session and recommend d the following gentlemen for ay ointment: W E Allen. Greelyville, G H Stancill, Hemingway, W L Altman, Trio, T S Kelly, Cades. In making the recommendatio he delegation expressed its appre iation of the interest manifested i his matter by the grand jury, bi lad hoped the services of rural p( icemen in tne county might De an lensed with in view of the provii ons of the recent act of the Gei ral Assembly appropriating $50,00 o be used by the Governor for la' nforcement. The delegation also took up th natter of recommending four cit ens of the county to the Governc or appointment on the new boar if commissioners as provided und? he recently enacted law relative t Williamsburg county.
