ing for Rural Police, and request our
Senator and Legislators to use their
pest endeavors to have a law passed
providing for at least three such DO
licemen.
We, Your Grand Jury desire to
commend the action Of our Super.
visor in putting into peration the
Split Log Drag system on the public
roads Of the county and we recon-
mend that he put as many in use as
possible or as many as can be used
to advantage.
1t has been brought TO our atten-
ton that the Prohibition law is be-
ing violated in almost every section
of the county, but we have not sufa-
cient evidence to make specific pre-
sentiments OF such violation, but we
do earnestly request that all officers.
both State, county and municipal.
whose duty 1t is to look after the en-
forcement OF this law, will be more
diligent in bringing this class OF
violators to justice.
We note the delay in the proceed
ings OF the court caused by the alb
sence Of witnesses. After investiga-
ting this matter to some extent we
find, that the committing magistrates
do not properly bind over the States
witnesses to court and where that
mas been neglected, no witness war
rant for their arrest has been issued.
In our Investigations, we also find
that the sheriff's Office and the mag
istrate's office located in Sumter do
not work together in harmony. We
do not know the cause for this con-
dition Of affairs, nor is it our purpose
to say which Office is at fault. but
the fact remains that on account Of
this lack Of harmony the interest of
the county and State are jeopardized.
| AS an illustration Of this fact, we
| find that no witnesses were bound
over for court in the case of the
State against Priscilla Pinckney. We
ask that the court instruct the officer
whose duty it is to serve such war
rant to perform his duty in this in
| stance and bring the violators to JUS
tice, with the hope that this condi-
ton of affairs will not exist in the
future. Your Grand Jury's attention
has been called to the fact that our
laws haev been violated on the night
of February 1st, 1912, on the PLAN
tation Of DR.. Fl M. Stuckey, in that
a riot occurred at that time We
haven't the names Of the parties en-
gagged in said riot. and we therefore
ask that the sheriff investigate this
report and If the law has been violat-
ed, endeavor TO bring the parties to
court. 1t has also been reported to
your Grand Jury that some time ago
at the house OF Tom Wilson, in the
4
Brogdon neighborhood, one Joe
Randolph was severely shot, he being
wounded to such an extent that he is
now in the Sumter Hospital for treat
ment We ask Your Honor to direct
the sheriff to investigate this shoot-
ing at once and if the law has been
violated, bring the parties to justice.
| Your Grand Jury note with pleas
ure the small number of cases before
the court for consideration at this
term. The county is to be congrat-
| ulated on this evident decrease In
crime.
| Thanking Your Honor and all court
officials for courtesies extended.
All Of which is respectfully submit

Beeks got busy and it was awful easy. At

the gentle tap on the back from the referee
c. w. Robinson after rs seconds of wrest-
ling. Willoughby is a strong. husky young
