HAYNES Ex0NERATEs
AGENT WHO MADE RAID

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
has exonerated Il. B. Hensen, q spe-
cial agent. Of charges OF making q
raid in Savannah upon q residence
without warrant, IT was announced
today at prohibition Headquarters.
Agent Hensen's report, officials said,
disclosed that the raiding party had a
warrant for q house near the resi-
dence of Miss Bessie Garden. The
party, officials said, planned to make
their entrance from an alley, and
through confusion in the back doors
got into Miss Gardens residence by
mistake.
Commissioner Haynes. officials said,
has taken the position that Agent
HeRsen. who intended no violation of
the law, had procured a warrant for
a proper search and that the entrance
to Miss Gardens residence was due
entirely to error and that there was
no reason for action in the case by
headquarters here.
All field prohibition agents have
been instructed by Commissioner
Haynes, officials declared, to exercise
the greatest care in making searches.
1t was added that no malicious raids
upon persons homes would be toler-
ated by the prohibition unit. How
ever. officials asserted. where the
prohibition agent had exercised every
care to comply with the law. but had
been misled by the peculiar situation
OF the houses. as in Savannah, there
could be no blame attached to his
procedure.
The action of Agent Hensen was
made the subject of a protest by May
or Stewart of Savannah to President
Harding and .SSnatorS Harris and
Watson of Georgia.

IN RE: LANES SCHOOL
Why Mr.. Brown Was Appointed and
Mr.. Bass Relieved.
Editor County Record:

Editor County Record:
It has been suggested that / make
public our reason for appointing MIR.
]. q. Brown as school trustee at Lane
in place of Mr.. R. L. Bass.
Mr.. Bass has been one of our most
responsive and useful trustees, and
we have never had trustee that we
appreciated more. About year ago,
however, Mr.. Bass saw me personally
and resigned, giving as his reason,
as I recollect, that he had bought a
home in Florence county and expect
ed to live there. He suggested the
appointment of Mr.. Brown in his
place; also some one else whom can
not recall. Mr.. Bass advised me, and
so did others, that his business would
still be conducted at Lane, and that
he would be there part of every
week. Regreting to lose so useful a
trustee, the resignation was pigeon
holed. The point Of law having been
raised, however, it seemed to me nee
essary to appoint Mr.. Bass successor.
Iii doing this, I considered only two
things: his own nomination and my
personal knowledge of the eminent
fitness of the man he suggested.

Chicks Arrive from Kentucky.

Miss Hattie McMurray, home DEM
onstration agent, yesterday received
by parcels post 275 baby chicks, which
were shipped from a Kentucky bach
cry when they were one day old. In
the lot one chick was dead.
These "biddies" were purchased by
the local banks with a view to arous-
ing interest and a more earnest eff
fort in the raising of pure bred poul-
try in the county. The chicks re-
ceived by Miss McMurray nave been
given out to those who made appl;-
cation for them with the understand
ing that this fall they are to return
to the banks, four of the pullets rails
ed from each lot of twenty-five. The
pullets will them be sold and the mon
ey received by the banks for them
reinvested in other chicks.
Among those received are several
of the most popular breeds Seventy
five Rhode Island reds are yet tn be
received.

d:tions, OF see that conditions are such
that there will be fewer people who
will break the law, to try and convict
him, but your duty is to see that con-
ditions in your county are not breed
ers of crime, but that conditions are
such that it will make crime impossi-
ble-not impossible, because we will
hardly reach that stage II our day
and generation. but the statistics show
that hundreds of thousands of climi-
nails in the world; that the confirm
ed criminal has three distinct charac-
teristics. The first is that he won't
work. It is not often that you Gee
a man working at steady job, COM
init a crime. 1t is usually done by
idlers. Now, Mr.. Foreman and gen
tlemen, we have a law on our statute
books that gives the officers the right
and power to arrest and to convict
and to punish the person who has no
visible means of support-the vag-
rant. And therefore / will call your
attention to the very first duty in this
county, is for your magistrate to put
these people to work. If they won't
work, bring them up and try them;
put them on the chain gang. Now,
we have got all the law we need
plenty of law-nothing the matter
with the law. We want it enforced.
So the first essential element is to get
rid of the vagrant glass of people
put them to work, and as said before
you will find that in nearly every case
the crimes are done by the idler, and
if he does not work, he has got to
steal, sombody has got to feed him.
If he won't work, you can put it
down as certain truth that he is
getting something from somebody
if not honestly, then dishonesty. Not
only that, but 1 think the greatest
thing for the condition of our country
today is for the people to get back to
work. You hear a great deal of hard
times and no money, and some people
don't do a thing but run up and down
the road complaining about their trou-
bles; butFing up gasoline and wear
ing out tires; making themselves mis-
cradle and everybody they meet.
Work, work, that is the panacea that
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1921-03-17

sumo; do not take it for granted.
That is the principal of our law
until the contrary is known, but it
is your duty to know, aid then after
you know them, then it is your duty
to truly condemn them. God Al
mighty has given you eyes and ears
and all the faculties of sense to,
know the outside world. He has
given you a mind to reason with. He
has given you will to execute. Now,
use your eyes and ears an' know
what is going on, in this county,
then use your good common sense
and edterrnine what ought to be done;
then present it; True presentment
make, so help me God". And then
when you have done that, your powe:
does not stop there. You can pre-
sent any man in this county, or wo-,
man either, without its having to go
before a magistrate. I have known
cases where the magistrate refused
to issue warrant. If any such con-
dition in your county prevail, you
don't have to sit helpless. All you
have to do is to get the names of the
witnesses and then present them 70
the court and the solicitor will try
them. That is your power, not only
your power, but is your duty. That
applies to every element in your ceun-
ty. They don't like to go into that
cock. I have heard some people say
that there was no use to try them,
because they would come clear. Mr..
Foreman, they could rot cone clear
if you have got that moral courage
l told you about awhile ago. My
opinion is that the petit jury will
convict them of they have the. stes-
timony, and it is fairly presented to
them. So then, Mr.. Foreman, and
gentlemen, put them on trial. Even
suppose they do get by the petit jury
when they enploy lawyers. l have
been one myself, you know, and they
don't work for nothing ordinarily,
unless they are appointed by the
Judge, and wien they get through
paying the lawyers fec, they have
paid a pretty good fine. So, Mr..
Foreman ard gentlemen, where they
violate the law, put them on trial;
put them to the trouble, and can tell
you that you will soon clean UP. the
mischief.

MRS. E. D. BICHAM
RELEASED FROM JAIL
ARRESTED FRIDAY FOR TRYING
TO SLIP POISON TO HUS.
BAND IN PRISON

Following an attempt late Friday
afternoon to slip a small bottle Of
chloroform to her husband in the
county Jail Mrs. E. D. Bigham was
taken into custoday late Friday night
by Deputy Sheriff NJ. B. Burch. She
occupied a cell in the county prison.
The attempt to convey the poison
tc Bigham failed, Jailor J. E. Cook
having been on the watch out for
some sort of proceeding and having
made arrangements to intercept any
secret communication between the
husband and wife.
Jailor Cook worked through one
of the trusty's, prisoner in the Jail
whose confidence Bigham supposed
he had obtained. When Mrs. Bigham
visited the Jail Friday afternoon TO
see her husband she slipped the bottle
of cloroform to the trusty and request
ed him to convey it to Bigham. The
trusty Immediately turned the phial
containing the drug over to Mr.. Cook.
who informed Deputy Sheriff Burch
and Coroner Smith of what had hap
pened. Physicians were consulted and
it was learned that the bottle con-
tanned sufficient quantity of the
drug to cause death. A warrant was
thereupon sworn out before Magis-
trate wetmore for Mrs. Bigham's
arrest.
1t developes that upon three differ
ent occasions in the past several
weeks Mr.. Bigham has attempted to
communicate with Mrs. Bigham by
means of notes. His plan was to give
the notes to one of the prisoners. who
enjoyed some liberties about the jail.
to be handed to Mrs. Bigham. Tbs
prisoner gave the scheme away to
the jailor. While the notes were al
lowed to go through and be deliver
ed. The contents of these notes have
not been given out for publication
and will probably be withheld until
the case comes to trial.
Deputy Sheriff M. B. Burch arrest
ed Mrs. Bigham at the Atlantic Coast
Line passenger station Friday
night just as she was preparing to
take the train on her return to Green
vile where she has relatives. Mrs.
Righam was accompanied by her
daughters, Misses Louise and Evelyn.
Mrs. Bigham was released from con-
finment Monday.
