LawIessness and Decentralization Prevail

LaWleSSneBS ana DECENTRALIZATION SIeFdli
What can be done to check lawless.
ness in South Carolina. Human blood
seems to flow more freely at this time
than during the Christmas holidays or
.'hot supper" season. The advertiser
rather suspects that turning so many
criminals out of the penitentiary is
having an unwholesome effect. These
men themselves may or may not be
among those who are committing
crime but executive clemency having
been shown them, others of the criml-
nal class are led to believe that should
they be convicted of crime they will
likewise fare lightly. If this is not
one of che causes of the great demorali-
zation which is widespread, what then
are the real causes?
Were lhe fact to stare the would-be
criminal in the face that if he is con-
victed of crime he will without 4Ies-
tion be punished according to the de-
gree of the crime, offering no hope for
clemency, the effect in restraining the
criminal would be far reaching. The
idea now prevails that convicts do not
have to serve full sentence and de-
praved men of either race are not hu-
inflated by imprisonment and wearing
stripes. What do they care for a few
months stay behind prison bars. Rel
atives can raise money with which to
pay the professional pardon lawyer
for securing pardon. This being true
why wonder that larceny, murder and
sundry other crimes are committed ad
libitum.
Shut down the pardon mill and tight
en- up the screws on the court machin-
cry, 80 it will not run in loose indiff-
erent manner, and twelve months will
not pass before there will be differ
ent complexion to conditions in South
Carolina. On the contrary, let matters
drift along as they now are and the
worst is yet to come.

ing of the w. G. T. U. was held,

Miss Miriam Norris, who is stu

the beginning of the programme by

and was highly commended for her
altainments in that direction, az
well as for her early willingness to
oblige, giving her youthful service
to a good cause.

always does by her appealing voice
and her charming personality. She
