SHERIFF. HUNTERS VIEWS.
Gives His Version of the Blind Tiger
Problem

To the Editor of The News:
The article which appeared in
your paper, publ shed November 10,
1914. under the caption of Uncle
Hardy Knows" says: There are
blind tigers in Lancaster" / wish
to state that l have no doubt but
that we have many blind tigers in
the town of Lancaster, and in Ian
caster county, and all over the state
of South Carolina, which thrive by
reason of whiskey drinkers. This,
of course, Is very bad state of af-
fairs. But what sensible, reason
able and fair-msnded person could
wonder at such a condition Of things
when the laws of these United States
give everybody the right to order
whiskey and to literally flood the
whole country with it, and to drink
1t at their will?
This law suits blind tigers; and
their patroniZers scarcely ever get
drunk enough to tell on them, It mat
ters not how timber and simple they
may seem. So evidence sufficient to
convict is hard to get hold of. The
court does not consider what we
BELIEVE; it takes EVIDENCE to
convict. But, however, if I had il
in my power / would revoke the
business license of everybody doing
business in Lancaster that is sus-
pected of selling wins key. While
my faults may worry some people,
as well as myself, and cause them to
say unkind things of me, at the same
tine no living man can truthfully
assert that / am blind to my officia.
duties" Notwithstanding /, no
doubt, sometimes make mistakes. Ii
anybody can give me information in
regard to violations of law, and for
any good reason does not care to
swear out warrants. give II to me,
and not a stab in the back, and pros
ecutions and arrests will promptly
follow.

Sheriff Lancaster County.

"CLEAN-UP DAY"

Friday, November 20, is Clean
Up Day" for the schools and we
hope it will be observed all over the
county. The School Improvement
Association is to be congratulated
upon setting apart such q day, for
the surroundings have much to do
with the kind of work done by the
scholars. II the school house and
grounds are neat and attractive, the
children will be furnished an in
centive for keeping them so, while
amid untidy and unattractive en-
vironments, an indifferent spirit
grows upon them. If they are made
to see and feel the Improvement, the
battle is already won, for their in
terest is aroused and it will be their
pleasure to help N keeping the
school clean. The training afford
ed by the observance is really les
son in good citizenship, affording
the men and women of tomorrow a
practical example of their respen-
sib,lity as citizens. This civic work
will inculcate in the children a love
of cleanliness and order which will
in many cases become fixed habit.
If more attention had been given
heretofore to this important work,
the carelessness and Indifference of
many children, now men and wo-
men, would have been early changed
to interest and a love OF order and
neatness, and they would have
grown up into citizens who demand
clean town and do their part in
making it so. This "Clean-Up Day"
IL observed generally and made to
serve its intended purpose, cannot
but be reflected, not only in the
school improved and beautifed. but
in the home as we'll while in the at
titude OF the children towards their
town and community will be seen
one of the further-reaching results.

LITIGATION WILL NOT

WASHINGTON. September 22.-Sec-
rotary Of the Navy Daniels made IT
clear tonight that he does not pro-
pose to allow court litigation TO inter
free with the enforcement OF neutral
ity at all wireless stations
Robert Ford, local representative OF
the Marconi Company, called on Mr.
Daniels and was shown a copy OF At
torneyGeneral Gregory's opinion set
ting forth that the President has abso-
stations whenever he deemed il ncc.s-
sary to preserve the country's neutral
ity.
Mr.. Daniels had before him tele-
gram from the Marconi Company ask :
ing that action on the alleged viola
tion by the S!asconsct station in re-
ceiv;ng message from the British Suf-
folk be postponed until the govern
ments rights could be determined in a
suit being prepared for the Federal
courts. The secretary said he would
make formal reply TO the telegram
tomorrow after he had conferred with
officials Of the Departments OF State
and Justice
To callers Mr.. Daniels explain ed,
however that the Attorney General
had said that the President had vir-
tually unlimited power "in time of pub
lie peril" The present is held to be
such a case, rs failure TO enforce strict
IiculIdiilS the OnlI
States in war.
Administration officials are. confident
OF their rights in the matter. and will
forcibly close the Siasconsct Station
|if its continued operation Is consid-
cred a menace TO the government S
position OF neutrality.
Before receiving the Marconi Com
panys message, Secretary Daniels
stated he would give the Marconi COM
pany until tomorrow to agree to com
ply with neutrality regulations. He is
unwilling to let the matter be thrcshed
out In the courts because of its i'm
mediate Importance. To wait for COM
pletion of litigation. he believes, might
delay All adjustment indefinitely, dur
ing which period, he believes, serious
embarrassment with foreign countries
might he caused.
Rumors that the Navy Department
contemplated taking over the wireless
station at Sayvillc. L. l.. pending the
repair Of the Tuckert6n Station,
brought Paul G. Schnitzler and II. q.
Boehme. representing the Atlantic
Communication Company. on Il hasty
visit to Washington to-day. After IL
conference with tho state and Navy
Department officials they said they had
been Informed that no such move was
contemplated.
