The installation or county police
force of four men whose duty it would
be to patrol the country districts,
make arrests and generally suppress
crime, was an important matter dis
cussed Monday morning by represent
atives from the recent grand jury,
who appeared before the county COM
n.issioners in regular session to urge
upon that body the necessity of such
action. This committee consisted Of
John T. Methvin, Will Easterlin, G. R.
Perry and ]. D. Williams.
The subject was discussed exhaus
lively by Messrs. Methvin, Easterlin
and Williams, who, as Mr.. Perry stat
ed in conclusion, had very thoroughly
covered the case. These gentlemen
advocated the employment of four ru-
raj policemen, believing their pres
ence in the county would have deter
rent effect upon crime generally.
It was urged by them that cotton
stealing, whiskey selling at negro
churches and elsewhere, pistol shoot
ing and other disorders prevailed to
an alarming degree u some localities.
At one negro church, one of the COM
n.ittee stated, whiskey was openly sold
Pistol shooting, he also said, was a
constant menace in his neighb orhood
at night while "skinning" and other
forms of gambling was very common.
Such disorder on the public high
ways, it was urged, was a constant
menace to the public and particularly
to school children going to school, 81
to their homes.
Chairman j. L. Johnson, in reply
while admitting the prevalence o
such offenses as enumerated be
lieyed that a force of four men fol
such a large area as Sumter count!
would be wholly inadequate. Fort.
or fifty men, he contended, nigh
fill the need suggested, but four coult
not.
This opinion was voiced by othe
members of the board. In addition, i
was stated that the employment of
force Of even four policemen, mount
eG, would cost approximately $500
per annum. The county was not Fl
nancially able to incur this additions
expense, except at the sacrifice y
road improvement or higher taxa
ton, the latter proposition being con
sidered impracticable.
1t was suggested that the installa
ton of a police force of four me,
during the cotton picking season
from September LIST to November LIST
would prevent the stealing of cottoI
and cotton seed, which crime prevails
here, it is said, the thieves disposin.
of their loot at night. A resolution t.
this effect and also setting forth tht
financial inability of the county t,
frstall the proposed police depart
ment at an earlier date, was adopted
and put upon the minutes.
A rural police system is recognize;
as desirable A7ithal, and the recon-
nendation of the recent grand jur!
may yet result in its accomplishment
