WHITE MANS AGENT?

For the first time in years at least
if not in the history of York county,
according to officers, Il negro bootleg
ger stood up in the court of general
sessions yesterday and declared that
he was the agent of white man in
the liquor business and named the
white man.
The incident created quite a stir in
the court room. The negro, Ed. Shlpp
pleaded guilty to storing ana SellinS
liquor He was sentenced by Judge
Rice to four months on the chainganS
on the storing charge ana elght
months on the selling charge.
Before passing sentence Judge ilce
wanted to know something ABOUT lhe
case.
"I was selling for a white man.
jcdgc," said Shipp. -,
What was the white mans name
inquired the judge ana the reply ca''e'
Mr.. A., a. Lockridge.
Mr.. I.ockridgc is n well known mer-
chant and farmer of Kings Mountain
township living. near the Cleveland
county, n. c., line.
According to Sheriff Fred f. QUINN
the negro Shipp formerly lived on
I.ockrid5e's farm and when he was
arrested in June last charged with
storing and selling Mr.. Lockrldge went
on his bond in the sum OF S1OO.
Then Shipp ran away and was IL
nally located by Lockridge at VIM

as to taxes and the tariff. For one
thing it is commonly understood that
the proposition to eliminate excess
profit taxes above 25 per cent. on an
income of something like 100000 a year
or over is an especial concession to
Wall Street. The excess profit taxes
bear with particular weight on the big
rich of Wall Street, and of course any
concession made to the big rich must
be made good by the country general
", with agriculture bearing the brunt
of it. 1t has always been that way;
but within the past fifteen or twenty
years agricultural interests of the west
and of the south have been developing
leaders who not only understand the
Atuation; but who know how to give
trouble. These agricultural leaders
are now finding intelligent and force
full expression through what is known
as the agricultural bloc" and OLD
liners are finding it more difficult 70
manipulate things just as they would
like to have them manipulated. The
promise now Is that when the old liners
attempt to deliver the goods as
promised to the Wall Street element
on the reconyening of congress the
fun will begin. ......

TRYING RELIGION ON 'EM.

c. n. Alexander, mayor pro tenn Of
the town of Glover, evidently has an
idea that the Sunday school and the
church are a better Keely cure for
booze comedians than the Volstead
act, the Jail, chaingang or anywhere
else. And Alexander is going to give
his theory a try out Magistrate a. j.
Quinn and Constable George Sparrow
OF Kings Mountain township, tell this
story:
Several days ago, young white
youth OF Glover was brought before
Acting Mayor Alexander on charge
OF being drunk and disorderly and re.
sisting an officer. 1t seems that the
youngster, despite his youth, was quite
an old offender and had been giving
Chief of Police John Jackson and 70
liceman Morrow quite a, lot OF trouble.
The boy was brought before the
Glover acting mayor and his guilt was
clearly established. The sentence was
as follows:
Young man you are sentenced TO
serve ninety days on the chalngang or
to pay a fine of $500. However, TINS
fine is suspended provided you agree
to report to the chief of police every
afternoon at o'clock and to go 10
church and Sunday school every sun
day until further notice.
The youth, according to the Glover
officers who told the story. accepted
the terms and Chief Jackson is giving
him the once over each afternoon al
six bells.

Mockery of the Law.

If the procedure in the case of these
people who were arrested in YorkVilie
last Saturday on complaint from Fair
field, charging them with obtaining
money under false pretenses, etc. Is III
accordance with the spirit as well as
the letter Of the law, we are inclined TO
the opinion that the law is sadly In
need of revision, both in letter and
spirit.
It is a violation Of the law to sell
whisky and although it is not a tech
nical violation of the law to buy whis-
XIV, il is violation Of the law to possess
It after 1t is bought and that amounts
to the same thing.
In this Winnsboro case there Is some
room for doubt as to the intent or the
seller Of the whisky, whether he really
intended to deliver and was prevented
from making good by circumstances
beyond his control, or whether 1t was
his deliberate intention to take the
money of the would-be buyer and skip
out as he did do, without any effort to
make good. But Of course, so far as
observance of law is concerned, there
Is no difficulty either way, for in one
case he would be guilty o. obtaining
money under false ,pretenses, while In
the other case he would be guilty OF
selling whisky in violation Of the law.
There is no possible doubt as to the
intent of the would-be buyer of the
whisky. He gave up his forty dollars
in the expectation Of receiving there-
for four gallons Of whisky. Ordinarily
II Is difficult to prove an unconsum-
mated intent; but in this case the In
tent is too Obvious to admit OF argu-
ment. The fellow wanted to possess
the liquor and to that end gave up his
forty dollars. Since mere possession OF
the liquor is violation of the law, 1t Is
not a matter Of concern as to whether
he was trying to buy the liquor for his
own personal use or for hootle sging
purposes.
AS The Yorkville Enquirer sees 1t,
both of these men are outside the law,
the man who bought the liquor as well
as the man who sold it, and what right
the man who got skinned while trying
to violate the law, has to apply to the
law that he had outraged, to help make
him whole again, is difficult to see. He
had no such right, and it ought not to
have been accorded him.
The supreme court of this state mas
several times laid down the principle
that no man must use the criminal
processes for the purpose of collecting
alleged debts, yet this fellow, as guilty
as the man he is after, is allowed to do
this very thing.
The lawful and just way of handling
this case would have been to send the
alleged seller of the liquor to the
chaingang, and leave the, Winnsboro
buyer of the liquor 20 bear the loss or
his forty dollars, as was just and prop
er under the circumstances.

MOTHERS PLEA EFFECTIVE

Was it mothers plea that he was
young and had up to this always been
a good boy" that saved r. A. Conrad,
II, of Rock Hill, from conviction as a
thief by York county jury? And
would Hazel Jordan about the same
age and a record just as good as Con-
RAIDS, have been saved frSm convic-
ton by jury in similar case If his
mother had been in the courthouse to
plead for him as Conrad'S mother had
done?
That was the opinion expressed by
some court attaches and others in the
courthouse late yesterday afternoon
when a jury of which A. 7. Hart was
forerlan found young Jordan guilty of
larceny and his confederate Gilmore
Deas guilty of carbreaking and larceny.
In a similar case jury Of which K:
T. Beamguard was foreman, found
Gilmore Deas guilty Of carbreaking
and larceny and r. A. Conrad not
guilty of either charge. Both young
Jordan and young Conrad had already
pleaded guilty at a hearing before
Magistrate Wingate and both pleas
were introduced in evidence.
Deas with Jordan had stolen auto
mobile tires. Jordan had helped to
were together when they passed a box
car on a side track in Rock Hill. Con-
rad called attention to the fact that it
was open. Deas wanted tol enter 1t.
Conrad wouldn't. Deas did and re-
moved a case Of 10000 cigarettes.
Conrad asked him what he was going
to do with them. The reply was sell
them" Conrad then suggested mer-
chant to whom the swag could be sold
and it was sold, Conrad getting the
money and turning 1t over to Deas who
kept it all.
The jury said not guilty as to Con-
rad.
''Funny," was the comment of Soil
citor Henry after the verdict. II can't
understand it although have known
similar incidents to occur before.
The solicitor called attention to the
fact that young Conrad is native OF
York county while young Jordan Is OF
Chesterfield.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1921-09-13

In every community there is a cur
ious type of individuals of whom it Is
more or less commonly said that they
"can steal while you are looking at
them," and get away with it. The idea
is that such people may regularly and
consistently over step the bounds that
restrain most other people and do
things which, if done by other people
would land the other people in jail
While in a way, there might be GER
tain kind of humor in such situation,
there is also an element Of tragedy
because the influence of such people
cannot be anything else than bad.
From what the constables say there is
such a case down in Fairfield county
the case of that magistrate who has
had a still in operation on his place
for several years and who is permitted
to go on with his contempt Of the law.

What may be developed by investi-
cation remains to be seen; but we are
not inclined to accept the statement
that Prohibition officer Fitzpatrick
really committed suicide after that raid
on the King Alexander the other day
If he was really alone in wash room
on the Brooklyn pier when he was
shot, of course that would look like
suicide; but the statement that TWO
bullets were fired through his heart
seems to overdo the matter. One bull
let would have been all that suicide
would likely have fired. There must
have been somebody else in that wash
room or at some point close enough 10
get in two shots at Fitzpatrick.
