A Beam of Light

Williston Way.
Governor Harvey has taken hold
Of the penitentiary and is making a
close study of it. He thinks that
all prisoners serving over two or
years years should be at the state
prison and not on the chain-gangs
where escapes are easy and frequent.
Recently, he took up with some ex-
perts the advisability of making
shirts at the penitentiary, and COM
menting on this proposition is quot
ed as saying that prisoners should
receive a part of their labor to be
kept by the prison official in sort
of savings account until they are
released or, if there are dependent
ones at home, to be sent home to
these. We cannot recall single ut
terance from South Carolinas' gov
ernors of the past that seemed so full
of the new idea of the states duty to
it's unfortunates. Osborne Of New
York worked along these lines. If
Governor Harvey's ideas are carried
out, and they should be by the next
legislature, beam of light will come
to many poor fellow now serving
long sentence with perhaps loved
ones suffering at home for the bar
est necessities of life. This is no i'm
agination. There is family within
few miles of Williston, in an ad-
joining county, where the children
haven't clothing enough to keep them
warm, whose food is not of sufficient
quantity and quality to properly
nourish the several little ones who
are not to blame for their father be-
ing in the penitentiary serving term
for manslaughter. Give this man
some work to do on a piece-work ba-
sis and when he has finished his term
perhaps he will come out with better
views of organized society for hav-
inc made it possible for him to take
care of loved ones while expatiating
his crime.

LEON MOORE ACQUITTED
jury Returns Verdict of Not Guilty
at Barnwen.

! Williston Way.
The fall term of sessions court op-
ened in Barnwell last Monday and
a number of cases were disposed OF
before entering into the trial of Leon
Moore Tuesday.
The father and mother Of young
Weathersbee, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Meyer
weathersbee, were witnesses for the
state and testified, among other
things. that their son did not carry
q pistol with him to Barnwel the
day of the shooting and that the
trouble between Virgil Weathersbee
and Leon Moore was caused by some
alleged liquor transactions.
Joe Ross and Hamp Baxley testi-
fed for the state that they saw
Weathersbee just few minutes be-
fore the shooting and that he was
standing near the corner of the Bank
of Western Carolina talking with
Sheriff Sanders; that he walked on
towards Jeffcoat's Garage and they
heard shot and saw Weathersbee
fall and Ross says he went 1mmed-
lately to where the body fell and
found the pistol which the defence
claims Weathersbee used in attempt
ing to shoot Moore lying near him.
The state put up number OF 9TH
er witnesses whose testimony in the
main bore out that above given.
Dave Jeffcoat, at whose garage the
shooting took place, George Grubbs
and W. G. Brit were eye witnesses
of the killing and all testified for the
defence. Mr.. Brit says that he look
ed up and saw Weathersbee point
ing a pistol at Moore in the act of
firing and he called out Leon, look
OUT or some words to that effect.
The defendant then reached for his
shot gun and shot Weathersbee and
in second or so shot him the second
time. The other eye witnesses testi-
fed along the same genera lines.
When the defendant was put on
the stand in his behalf he stated that
the trouble between him and young
Weathersbee was caused by his hav-
ing phoned for the sheriff, at Wealth
ersbee's' request, in connection with
some trouble at the home Of the de-
ceased. He said that he shot Wealth
ersbee when he saw him in the ap-
parent act of about to shoot him and
that his reason for shooting second
time is that Weathersbee appeared to
be reaching for his pistol.
Able arguments were made by
Messrs. Edgar A. Brown, Solomon
Blatt and j. o. Patterson for the de-
fence and Solicitor Gunter and r. A.
Hallman for the state. The charge
of the court in the Moore case was
able and to the point. J
The jury received the case some
thing after four o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, Oct. II, and reached a
verdict of not guilty in % minutes.
Just prior to taking up the Moore
case, two negroes from Williston,
Will Frederick and Luther Chavis,
were convicted on charge of forgery
in Williston and sentenced each to
two years.

RUSSIAN FOOTBALL

Russia again is taking great interest in outdoor sports, es-
pecially football. This news is in a letter from DR.. Boris
Bogen, New Yorker, with the American famine relief forces
working out of Odessa.
The revival of SPORTS is one of the surest signs yet that
Russia is d definitely on the road back to normal.
Sports are national safety valves.
When people eypend their surplus energy and dissipate
their nervous emotions in sports, there is not much left for
the war spirit to fed on.
When war seethes in the blood, there is little time and at
tention for games except as part of the physical hardening
for battle.
One reason Americans are not warGke is because they
vent their energies and emotions on outdoor sports. An in
surrection in our country could be nipped in the bud by rush
ing a couple of big league baseball teams to the center of the
trouble. How much chance would a general have running
competition with baseball? None.
A peculiar thing observed by DR.. Bogen, about the re-
vival of football in Russia, is the absence Of teamwork. Each
player tries to win the game by himself.
Individual proves is also the main thing with the spec
tators, says Bogen "The people take sides not so much with
one team or the other. but with the individual players"
were "fed up' with team work by the Bolsheviks.
The instinct of individualism still is stronger in man than
the social instinct. That was the chief bet overlooked by the
Red leaders.
On the heels of DR.. Bogen's letter comes announcement
from Bolshevik headquarters that Soviet Russia is planning
to stage its own "Olympic'-football,w wrestling, prizefghting,
tugs of war and field sports.
Russia never was pronouncedly keen on outdoor sports.
That it's reaction to recreation is in sports instead of the ballet
suggests that a new viriity is rising in the national arteries
Of the Russian nation
When Russia comes back, she'll be stronger than ever.

THE HABIT OF IDLENESS

No matter what may be the basic cause Of long periods
of unemployment, one of its most unfortunate developments
is that some of the unemployed get the habit of idleness.
When work re-opens these men ignore their opportunity
and continue to drift. They and their families suffer and
tend to become public charges accordingly.
Charitable organizations have found the calls upon
them greatly increased as a result of the unemployment
situation which prevailed for so long. They look for still
further drains if the strikes continue. This is not only be-
cause families run out of funds while the crisis is on. In
many instances the chance to work will find the bread
winner a confirmed idler or even a deserter from his home.
Deep in the heart of every man, according to one writer
is a rooted aversion to toll. The majority fight this feeling
successfully all the time. Some never fight 1T at all. Ihey
are the professional buns and crooks. Others resist brave
ly until a long period in which they cannot get work throws
the balance to the idle side. Then they are lost, and society
paws the bill in charitable work to be done, and in criminal
ity, the sure accompaniment of deliberate idleness.
When a long period of unemployment is ended, the
tendency is to heave a sigh of relief and say, that's over,
when in truth some of its sublest evils are just beginning.
If ever the far-reaching aftermath of these upheavals was
better understood, we should be less easily gratifed with
their immediate conclusion and more concerned with their
prevention. --~-

FORESTS OF FUEL

The plan of the American Forestry Association to pro-
mote state tree planting to such an extent that a continuous
supply of fuel will be available for future citizens, regardless
Of coal conditions, promises no relief for present coal
troubles. 1t is nevertheless deserving of serious attention
and general support.
Town and state forests are being planted in many parts
of the country. In New England the Movement is particu-
larly strong, and citizens there are beginning to see the
prospects of beneficial results not far in the future.
It is difficult for the human race to be thoroughly opti-
mistic and altruistic and to plant acres of trees solely for
the benefit of posterity. Nevertheless American citizens are
steadily becoming more interested in reforestation both for
for the immediate future of the next decade or two and for
the more remote future when generations yet unborn will be
profoundly grateful for their heritage of renewed forests. If
the comingw winters foreseen coal shortage cannot be helped
bv this movement, it should at least serve to point the need
and value of early and continued reforestation.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-09-12
DEPENDENTS AND PROHIBITION

Seventeen cities have been carefully studied by the
American Association for Organizing Family Social Work
and the Boston Family Welfare Society, for the purpose of
comparing the effect of drink on families helped by welfare
agencies before prohibition and since. The two years COM
pared were 1917 and 1921.
The records of 35 900 families were studied. The fact
discovered was that there had been a decrease in drink,
varying from 40 per cent. in Portland, Ore, to 400 per cent.
in Pawtucket, R. |. The average decrease is nearly 90 per
cent. The big cities, such as st. Louis, Chicago, Boston,
Cleveland and New York, showed just as high a decrease for
these families as did the smaller cities.
From these figures it is easy to see why social workers
maintain that there is not really more hard drinking than
in the old days" Those who are drinking these days are
not those who come under the social workers observation
Even in the groups now given to drinking there is said to be
less of than common talk intimates.
With all the illicit liquor from other countries and with
all the home made stuff, it is estimated that the total
amount available at any time is far less than it was in the
days Of the great commercial distileries and breweries, and
consequently the consumption must be proportionately less.
In spite of numerous notorious instances of infraction
Of prohibition regulations, the simple fact that prohibition
is %beneftting formerly dependent groups is an important
testimonial in its favor.

RELAPSE

The increase in industrial production for the past July,
as compared with that of July, 1924, has been noted with
much satisfaction. In the output of pig iron, a basic factor,
there was a gain of III per cent. Along with this there was
q gain of SO per cent. in automobile production, SO per cent
in motor accessories, rs per cent. in sugar, 20 per cent. in
electric power production and numerous other advances in
dicating a remarkable improvement in the general business
situation.
Satisfaction over these figures, however. wanes in con-
temptation of the present industrial outlook. With Transport
tation and fuel inadequate and uncertain and industry after
industry forced to curtail its output, the country at this mo-
nent is obiously going backward rather than forward.
Government and business will have to resort to drastic REM
edies if this relapse is not to be allowed to wipe out the
gains already made.
