the plans Of the League will not be

when it was swept by a cyclone and
was i'm dire distress, it was brought
forcibly to the minds and hearts of
all South ~Carolinians that Charles

Now. that worse evil than earth

should not the law-abiding and de-
cent people Of South Carolina rally
to the support Of that small band of
lighters who are battling for the su-
premacy of law and decency in Cha
lesion? Why not raise a Statewide
fund for the use of the Law and Or
der League Of Charleston so that they
may make good fight, drive out
crime and punish the criminals who
disgrace the city and the State by
their fagrant disregard Of law and
morals? If the fight can be won in
Charleston, the hands of those who
are making lesser, but similar fights
elsewhere will be strengthened and
the task Of enforcing the law and
bringing the law-breakers to an
accounting will be made easier. III
the criminals are permitted to hold
and increase their sway in Charleston,
men of like character will be encour-
aged to follow their example in other
towns. The fight the Law and Order
League is making in Charleston is
not local affair. 1t concerns the
whole State and if the balance of the
State does not come to the aid of the
few Charleston men who have the
backbone to fight the evils that are
rapidly destroying the decency of the
crime, vice and and bra
zen lawlessness will soon dominate
public sentiment and the courts
throughout the State, as they now do
in Charleston.
