GEO. J. GRAHAM QUITS OFFICE
On Tuesday Mr. George J. Grahan
stepped down and out of the sheriff',
office at the Court House to give wc;
to his successor, Mr. H. S. Gamble wh?
received his commission as sheriff o
the' County Tuesday.
Mr. Graham was elected to offce ii
1899 and entered upon the duties o:
Sheriff in January 1900. He has there
fore held the office for twenty year
so faithfully and so well that the citi
zens of Williamsburg county are no
only grateful to him for his service
but look upon his tenure of office wit!
pleasureable pride.
Had he ran for reelection he coul<
have continued in office but on accoun
<rf his age he preferred to retire.
In his retirement The County Re
cord wishes him a long lease on lifi
t that he may still enjoy the high es
teem and warm affections of his fl
low citizens.
His successor Mr. H. S. Gamble ii
a young man well and favornbl;
known throughout the County, whoa
citizens have given him their heartj
endorsement. We feel sure that hi
will make the county a good sh'riff.
Upon turning over the office o;
sheriff Tuesday, Sheriff Grahan
transferred five prisoners now con
fined in the County ^ail, vhich wen
receipted for by Sheriff Gcmble.
LEAGUE OF WO*
Asserts Aims and Purposes o
^ lULWiaiivx
Mr. Editor?
The South Carolina League o
Women Voters asserts its purpose o
existence, namely to safegu rd :.n?
advance the legal, industrial and edu
cational rights of women and to rais<
the standard of American citizenshi]
by education and by working for :
more intelligent electorate.
A bill that will be introduced by th*
League of Women Voters will be <
bill to raise the age of consent fron
14 to 16 years. A girl or boy of 1
years is too young to be married ii
South Carolina and is too young t(
bind him or heicclf to any contract
Every thinking man and womai
knows that a boy or girl is also to<
young and has not the experience noi
discretion to decide a question that i:
of much more importance to lJs or he:
whole future. I am sure the mother,
and fathers of little girls and boys o:
14 years realize how much those chil
dren need protection and they wan
~not only to protect their own chiKtret
.but other children that have not beer
^safeguarded as theirs have txm
Owing to the condition broughi
about by the low price of cotton, w<
wish to go on locord as not asking fo!
-'trny appropriaticns this year, althougl
we heartily indorse several bills foi
which appropiiations are being askec
and we hope that the General As
sembly will see fit to #ass those bill:
in 1922 if they are unable to do
this year.
The women of the State are in
terested in the revision of the tax lav
and they also feel that the only solu
tion of the unbuilding of all state in
stitution should come through a bom
issue.
Among the bills which have re
ceived the hearty indorsement of th?
women are: 1. The bill providing fo
the State to take over the property
known as the Fairwold school to pro
vide for wayward negro girls op
portunities of training such as th<
white boys and girls and the nogr<
boys have. 2. The bill to estabhsl
a state prison for women. 3. A bil
for a Dormitory for girls at the Uni
varsity of South Carolina.
