Why LaurcnS County Should Retain
It's Rural Police Force

Editor Laurcns Advertisers:
The question as to whether or not
I.aurens County should retain its rural
police force is at present very prom
inent question in the minds Of the
voters. AS one OF the magistrates Of
point out some of the difficulties in en-
forcing the laws against certain crimes
without the assistance of the rural po-
lice. have been asked the question
why the Magistrates and their consta-
bles could not enforce the laws as well
without the rural police.
Section 28 Of Criminal Code pro-
vides that all proceedings before mag
istrates in criminal cases shall bc
commenced on information under oath
plainly and substantially setting forth
the offcnse charged, upon which and
only which, shall warrant of arrest

Section q of the same code pro-
vides that mo magistrate shall per-
nit a constable to swear out war
rant except where the constable has
been personally affected by tho offense
with which the party is charged"

~ We ib"ht VII lOllcp
Editor Laurcns Advertiser:
am glad to see that c.. ID. Nance.
Mr.. Browning and others, candidates
for the legislature, are in favor of tho
rural police. While I live in Coum
bia, ! have relatives and friends who
live in the rural communities of Lau-
rcns county that need police protec-
ton Just as much as the town of Lau-
rcns. In fact, | think they need it
more.
iou have now got some Of the best
police officers in the state in Column
bus Owens, Andy Boyd, Tom Abrams
and Walter Bryson, and | have no
doubt but what the others on the
force are just as good. l am glad to
pay q tax for rural police in Laurcns
county and hope the people in the
county will vote to retain those good
officers which you have now, unless we
can get governor like our present
governor, that has the backbone to
enforce the law. You can't well dis
card the rural police without Grip
ping very badly the enforcement Of
law and order in your community.
The fines that rural police take in
| for their work, pistols, etc, and act
ing as magistrates constables should
be taken in consideration besides, for
the good order that prevails in your
! county. Why, Greenvillc voted out
the rural police and now they hove
seven paid deputy sheriffs. Besides,
they have quite number Of federal
officers to assist them in Grecnville
county. And with this they don't keep
f.; the law as we'll enforced as your Iail-
rens county officers. | have been in
every county in the state for the last
two years and look on I4aurens coun-
ty as the banner county for law en-
forcement. If you will elect men to
the legislature like Nance, Brown ing
and another like them for law enforce
Imcnt, and governor like Harvey, it
wont be many years before you might
cut down your rural police force and
constabulary force But YOU cannot
afford to do it now.
Mr.. Editor, who is it that is hollcr-
ing the loudcst for personal liberty
! can answer that: Why it is the law
breakers, blind tigers and those who
are pat"onizing blind tigers. Oh, the
man that .atroniZcS a blind tiger or
bootlegger; he is aiding the blind
tiger Never talk of fighting for your
flag when you are aiding the blind
tiger and the bootlcggcr. Not only
that, you are trampling your laws un-
der foot that your Legislators make,
or in other words, YOU are aiding the
bootlegger in it. Oh, my friends Of
Laurcns county, think over this, and
beg. if any has been guilty Of this,
please reform and turn your back up
on all such, and help lead the way to
! tho shining mark OF love and patriot
ism for cur country and the blessed
Master, the Great Ruler of our des-
itincs.

ATTITUDE OF THE u. S.
TOWARD RECOGNIZING
MEXICO Is UNCHANGED

Washington, Oct. 13.--lnquiry at
the state department today
brought the statement that the re-
cent purchase by the United States
of an embassy building in Mexico
City had no relation whatever TO
the question of recognition OF the
Mexican government. The pur-
chase was made, 1t was said, under
an allotment OF funds made avail
able by congress n year ago for the
purchase of embassy quarters in
four capitals.
SO far as recognition of the
Obregon government is concerned
it was reiterated today by state
department officials that they
knew of no change recently in the
situation and that the Washington
government was awaiting such
action by the Mexico City authori-
ties as would settle definitely the
question of the rights Of American
citizens holding property in Mex
leo City under the Mexican con-
stitution.

PRICE Of SUGAR
TOO HIGH, SAYS
FEDERAL CHIEF
Company's Plants at Yon-
kers Will Be Shut Down;
Cuba to Begin Grinding
Cane One Month Early.

New York, oct. 13.-Claus A.
Spreckles, president of the Federal
Sugar Refining company. who de-
clRred on his arrival from abroad
three DAYS ago that the price or
sugar was too high. emphasized
his remarks today by announcing
that he would at once shut down
the Federal company's plants at
Yonkers.
Sugar must fall in price" said
Mr. Spreckles. Conditions IN
Cuba, received in reports by cable,
assert that there is so much heavy
cane growing that they expect to
begin grinding the new crop about
one month to six weeks earlier
than usual. that is, they will begin
about December instead of jan
uary I.
Gables from France show that
their crop is unprecedented in the
purity oC the beets and higher
percentage of sugar contained than
has been recorded for many years.
Beet sugar producers in Europe
will have q surplus Of over S00,000
tons and / cauI.ot see that there
will be any exports TO Europe for
the next six months.
sugar has been advanced In
price three quarters of cent in
the last two or three weeks.
This is an advance that bears
the earmarks of pure speculation
and not because Of a legitimate
condition.
II cannot but expect when this
new crop begins TO come in. or in
anticipation of it within the next
thirty days. sugar must take a
drop"

HANF0RD MACNIDER
RECEIVES FLOOD OF
C0C0ANUTS BY MAIL

New Orleans Oct. 13.-For
two days, cocoanuts. not in
crates, but bearing postage
stamps and addressed to Han
ford MacNider, national COM
mander of the American Le-
gion here, for the legion's ma
tional convention, have been
arriving in New orleans. The
cocoanuts. sent by American
Legion Post Number 12 in
West Palm Beach, Fla, ac-
cording to the tags, also bore
the inscription;
This is a cocoanut."
Today postoffice inspectors,
puzzled by the flood of cocoa
nuts--there have been several
hundred Of them-remembered
stories Of ff1gentIioGs booze
smugglers who were reported
to have used the humble CO.
coanut for anti-Volstead pur-
poses. A plot was scented.
Expert sniffers were called in
and were unable to determine
whether the MacNider cocoa
nuts were innocent or guilty,
Then an axe was brought, and
a cocoanut laid open.
To the disappointment of the
vigilant inspectors, it was
found that it was what the
tag said--just q cocoanut.

Jim Scott practically pitched the
San Francisco Seals into the Paci-
fic Coast league pennant race this
afternoon when he allowed only
four hits, shutting out Oakland, 2

hands Of Los Angeles means that
if San Francisco wins one more
game or Vernon loses one the Seals
will become the champions.
1t was expected that today's VIC
tory would finally decide the PEN
nant race, but the decision of the
San Francisco team to play Tues
days postponed contest in a
double-header tomorrow means
that the latter still has four games
to play. The Seals are three and
one-half games in the lead ana
should they lose all four and Ver-
non win its remaining three the

til the vessel arrives at Hamburg.
The bond was double the value of
the liquor. Mr.. Ellis said that he
took action today in order to get
the matter before the United States
supreme court and also to get the
liquor on the Resolute into a for
eign port, to remain there until q
supreme court decision finally set

guidance from the court in decid.
ing how to dispose of this stock.
