Editor keOwce Courier:
read with regret the report,
carried in The Courier, of the pro-
cecdings Of the recent Court held
IN Walhalla. My regret was caused
by the light sentences that were
passed up'N the people who were
guilty Of violating the liquor laws.
could not keep from feeling that
|, was not worth the trouble to bring
these criminals into Court unless
they were to receive punishment
"hlch was in some measure ade-
Guate to the crimes Of which they
were convicted. The sentences
seemed to me mere child's play, and
more of an invitation to continue in
their dirty, low-down business than
tor the purpose Of making them law
abiding citizens.
was greatly relieved when
turned over to the editorial column
of The Courier and read your brave
words under the caption, "Unwisc
l.eniency.' Please permit me to re-
peat what you had to say:
/ We can but view with deep regret
the extreme leniency with which the
! Court Is dealing with violators CT
the State liquor laws. Sentences
ranging in length Of service from 80
to 60 days. with alternative fines
Of from 800 to $50 are but premi-
Inns on law violations.
what does the vendor Of liquors
care for fine Of $50 for violation
# the law when he can go out and
sell two gallons Of liquor and come
into Court and pay his fine? Such
extreme leniency amounts to but a
frrce. and the law violators are de-
lighted with this mode Of law viola
ton and practical freedom from pun
Ishment. When our Courts learn to
Geal with severity with the liquor
law yiolators we may have what the
people have endorsed and voted FOR
IA dry county. So long as yio-
lators can go their way rejoicing
over ludicrously light sentences, so
long are we going to have liquor
dealing in our midst.
THAT is our opinion in the matter.
And it is also our opinion that !f
fines ranging from $500 to $500 had
Eeen imposed, the violators would
at least think twice before resuming
their nefarious business"
wish to congratulate the good
people Of Oconee county upon having
a paper with the courage and thu:
backbone that The Courier has.
There is no telling the good that it
has done, and that it will continue
to- do in pursuing such a policy. I
am sure that the best people arc
with you. and that backed by t:lAm,
you will do what the Court may fail
to DO by its lenicncy in dealing with
iow-violators. by making public
sentiment SO strong against liquor

SCHOOL BUILDING INSUIsA NCE.

SCHOOL BUILDING INSUIsA NCE.
In OConcc recently there has been
part OF Interested ones on the QucS-
ton Of insurance for public school
buildings in Our county. Recently
it was announced by the Oconcc
Mutual Fire Insurance Association
that they could now insure rural
school buildings throughout the
county, but it was shortly aScer-
tanned that by the ruling OF the At
lorncy General, this was not the
c:Sc. and this splendid local com
pany, which is doing Il large insur-
ancc business all over OcOnee county
and saving its policy holders many
dollars each year in premiums, is
narrcd from mSuring the public
school buildings. as are other mutual
insurance companies in other sec
ti0nS Of the State barred from iusur-
ing school buildings in their rcspcc-
tive territories.
In view Of these facts the follow
ing resume OF some insurance mcn-
surcs taken up in the recent General
Assembly seems to have particular
i'.tcrcst for the school trustees of
Cconcc. We clip the matter quoted
below from the review Of tn. AS
scmbly's work made by August
Kohn, Of Columbia, in his letter to
tae Charleston News and Courier:
"A very interesting development
Of the Legislative session revolved
around State fire Insurance. Under
the Banks bill, which was vetoed by
Governor Manning. provision was
made for the insurance OF cotton in
State warehouses through the sink
ing fund commission. Governor
Manning vetoed tho bill largely be-
cause the insurance might have in
volved the general funds Of the
sinking fund commission. that were
held in part for the redemption of
State bonds. and the veto was sus-
tanned. Then Seator Banks had the
Senate pass a bill providing for the
insurance Of cotton in State ware
houses through the sinking fund
commission, restricting the hazard
to $4,000 on any one location and
providing that only the insurance
money held by The sinking fund com
mission should be liable. This bill
PASSED the Senate and went to the
House and passed there ami was
ordered ratified tn the last momcr:s
OF the session. and will go to the
Governor for his approval.
THE sinking fund commission
has done a conspicuously successful
business in the matter Of insuring
public buildings. such as State col
lcgcS Court Houses and other State
and county institutions. At recent
session Of the General Assembly this
insurance was extended to brick and
concrete public school buildings. and
at the present session il was fur
thcr extended to protect wooden
school buildings throughout the
State
The situation heretofore has been.
we believe. that the state Insurance
department requires that the public
"chool buildings OF the various coun-
lies shall be insured either with thc |
state insurance Department or i'm an

Pope's Request To Wilson.

Rome, May 19.-Cardinal Gasparri
the Papal Secretary of State, has
written in the name of the Pope an
official note to Col. E. M. House,
of the American Peace Delegation,
transmitting the arguments sent to
the Pontiff by the German bishops
to demonstrate the absolute impossi-
bility of their country fulfilling the
peace conditions imposed by the
Allies.
In his note Cardinal Gasparri ex-
plains that the Pope takes this step
in favor of Germany as he would do
for any other country requesting his
assistance, as he is only animated by
humanitarian feelings.

Prices To Stay High.

Washington, May 19.-Prices may
not be expected to drop much in the
future according to indications of re-
ports reaching the Federal Reserve
Board. The reserve boards bulletin
for May says that apparently the
business community has given up the
thought that it may profitably await
a further considerable reduction in
prices and is now contenting itself
with the development of trade along
lines dependent upon at least the
temporary maintenance OF existing
levels"
Though prices of a few basic COM
modities have fallen slightly, these
declines have not yet been effective
in retail prices says the review.
'What is now happening" it adds
seems to indicate that business will
after a period of initial readjustment
in prices, proceed upon a level not
far removed from that established
during the war;"

U-117 Recruiting For The Navy.

The captured German submarine
U-1I7 is in Baltim ore assisting the
Navy Recruiting Station in obtaining
men for the Navy.
This is the boat that did so much
damage off the Atlantic Coast in July
and August, 1918, destroying fishing
vessels, and laying mines in the paths
of transatlantic steamers. 1t is
thought that this boat laid the mine
which sank the U. S. S. San Diego
off Long Island.
U-117 was one of Germany's largest
submarines, and was especially fitted
for laying mines. Besides this, it
carried the largest guns of any sub
marine afloat. She was brought over
from England by crew of American
sailors, under the command of Lieut.
enant- Commander Dibrell.
Commander Leahy, in charge OF
Navy Recruiting is anxious for the
people of Maryland to see this ship,
because it shows what the Navy has
been working against during the
great war. At the present time he
is enlisting men for Seamen, Machin-
lists, Hospital Corpsmen and colorcd
mess attendants.
For further information, apply at
the Navy Recruiting Station, Calvert
& Lexington Sts., Baltimore, Md,
or to local postmaster, and, if physi-
cally qualified, transportation from
your home to Baltimore will be fur
nished you.
