Showing How Easy 1t Is
To Smuggle Drugs Into Country

When you consider that one man can
sneak across the Canadian border across
the Rio Grande and without altering his
appearance in any manner, return with sew
eral thousand dollars worth of cocaine, NOR
phine or heroin, or even straight opium con-
cealed about him you begin to realize the
magnitude of the thing the national and
municipal authorities fighting. Further
more, when you know how ludcrously easy
it is for sailor to fetch the stuff in
through any port you must be impressed
all the more.
Add to this background of the general
situation, the fact that the illegitimate use
Of habit forming drugs has increased in the
large American cities anywhere from TWEEN
ty-five to fifty per cent since the Eighteenth
Amendment became an appendix to the
Federal Constitution. Then take it for the
fact that it is that despite the effort made
at the latest meeting of The Hague Tribunal,
there is no international agreement between
America, Europe Asia, South America and
Africa limiting or even supervising the traf-
fic. Even If there were such agreements
the dope trade would go merrily on and in
only a somewhat smaller volume Before
citing statistics, quoting authorities and set
ting forth what is being done to fight back
the rising tide, the following instances Of
morphine smuggling are offered for the

TN analyzing the difficulty American
League baseball sluggers experienced

Ty Cobb said that it was most difficult to
hit what you couldn't see. And while it is
somewhat less difficult to trap a Govern
ment or municipal health or police author
ity into admitting that he is less than ade-
quate to the maximum discharge of the
requirements of his job, the same philoso-
ply, or "alibi," if you choose, applies to
them in their battle with the traffic in habit
forming drugs.
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston
and San Francisco admit that more NOR
phine heron, cocaine and straight opium
is used illegitimately by persons transiently
or permanently living in those cities than
ever before. In fact the police and health
authorities of these municipalities admit
that 1t is so much more that they're scared
They have the laws necessary to deal with
the situation There is no proof that they
are men incapable of enforcing those laws.

License Money Helps Counties

Counties in the state have so far
received a little over a half million
dollars from the 80 per cent, motor
vehicle license fund, this sum being
returned to the various county treas
uries as provided by law, according
to figures compiled through August
by L. H. Thomas, secretary of the
state highway commission. Mr..
Thomas announced yesterday that the
total collection to date for 1921 had
reached S727, 5O7.06 and of the
amount $576,631.29 was accruable
to the counties.
Greenville county leads the en-
tire state with $48,683.91 returned
from the sale of licenses, while Rich
land is second with $45,231.O6 and
Spartanburg is third with $~38,312.ll.
Charleston comes fourth with $37-
437.99 and Anderson is fifth with
s~S5,611.2S.
In the total registration of motor
vehicles over the state Mr.. Thomas
finds that the counties where the reg
istration has fallen off this year as
compared with 1920 are where liking
cotton" is grown more than any other
crop. The price of cotton all year has
kept many machines under the shell
ter and the figures on the sales Of IL
censes show that the cotton and agri-
cultural counties have fallen behind
all year.
Greenville again is in the lead with
the total number of machines regis
tered with 1884 automobiles and
662 trucks as compared with a regis
tration of 6,726 automobiles and
trucks for 1920. Richland also has
gone above last years figures with
$3.50 autos and 1893 trucks. Spar
tanburg with 5,316 autos and 524
