Editor Star: The mounted Rural Po-
lice System that has been adopted by
several counties in South Carolina, is
reducing lawlessness to minimum in
the county districts.
Fines collected from the law break
ers who are run down by these Off
GERS, In many counties far exceed the
salaries paid them.
A few years ago the county Of Lau-
rens, South Carolina, employed two
Rural Policemen acrrylng a salary OF
100000 each per year. The fines col
lected from blind tigers, gamblers,
etc, raided by these officers, during
the year, netted the county $4,000.
The following year two more police
men were added to the force and now
