SHERIFF HUNTERS IDEA.

Sheriff John p. Hunter, who has
been sheriff of Lancaster county for
20 years. and was United States mar
shal for the district of South Caro-,
lima for four years, appointed by
President Cleveland, says that ii is
his opinion if our United States mar,
shals in this State were permitted
to appoint good deputy in each
county 1T would certainly check and
deter the, violators of the prohib,-
tion law to very great and whole
some extent. All violators OF the
law, he says, dread the u. S. courts
much more than any other. on ac.
count of taking them away from
their homes and trying them before
unknown jurors; also incarceratine
them in jails out OF their respective
counties, where they cannot conven,
iently see their folks for months.
