WITHIN THE TOWN

The heaviest frost of the season
made its appearance Wednesday morn
ing, and there was also thin ice in
low places. &
- Yorkville has splendid mail facili-
ties for town of its size. There are
many towns in this state of much
larger population which have no free
delivery, for instancGT But the people
generally are not doing what they can
TO get still better facilities. There
should be 9 mail box at every home.
The letter carriers siIDuld not be eX-
pectcd to knock at d99rrss-and wait un-
til somebody answers. Mail boxes
can be procured and installed at small
cost and people who have not already
done so should install such boxes.

to grant repricves, combinations and
plrdons after conviction Except in
cases of impeachment, in such man
ner. on such terms and under such
restrictions as he shall think proper;
and shall haYe power to remit fines and
forfeiturcs, unless otherwise directed
by law"
Paragraph Of Chapter VIII of the
Code of Criminal Procedure passed in
1872 says:
"The Circuit Judges of this state
shall have power and authority, in
their discretion, to suspend sentences
imposed by them, upon such terms and
upon such conditions as in their judg-
ment may be fit and proper: Provided,
said power and authority shall not en-
tend to cases of felony"
In the row somewhat celebrated
Crookcs case, the supreme court seems
to have nuliified the provision of the
constitution as to suspensions of SEN
tences by the governor, while the stat
ute, of doubtful constitutlonallty still
holds good.
In sentencing some prisoners yester-
day in accordance with his cOnstruc-
ton of the foregoing statute, Judge
Peurifoy said to each Of them in ef-
feet
sentence you to twelve months in
+ro ,+a+o nani+eo+ia,.,, Or on tho nIIblic
works of the county; but hereby sus-
pend six months OF the sentence on
condition that you do not violate this
prohibition law again. Remember that
after six months you are free; but if
at any time later, as long as you live,
it is brought to my attention, or the
attention Of any other circuit judge, by
affidavit or otherwise, in such man.
ner as to satisfy me Of the truth of
the allegation. you go back to the
chaingang without any further trial.
Now while the words of the consti-
tuition and the statute are not exactly
identical it is difficult indeed for any
man to construe the constitution as
meaning other than as Judge Peurifoy
has construed the statute; but of
course, as the supreme court has con-
strued the constitution differently,
there is no other way for it than to
recognize the supreme courts con-
struction as the law.
AT the same time, however; If fifteen
months from now, one of those prison.
ers sentenced yesterday, should be ac-
cused for further violation Of the pro-
hibtion laws, and resisting the en-
forcement of the balance Of his sent
ence, it would be interesting indeed
to see how the supreme court would
get around the claim that he is with
out the jurisdiction Of the court for
the reason that the time for which he
was originally sentenced has expired.

MORE LAW, LESS RED TAPE.
Governor Harvey Makes Statement
About the Crook Case.

Predicting that the people will un-
questionably demand that law en-
forcement be not delayed and nullified
by means of legal machinery or ambig-
uity of TERMS" Governor Harvey on
Wednesday issued a statement declar-
ing that the decision OF the state su-
preme court in the Grover Crooks case
will tend to emphasize the general
opinion that the procedure incident to
our criminal laws is sadly in need of
revision
The decision in question released
Crooks, an Cconee county man, from
the state penitentiary, where he had
been committed upon orders from Gov
ernor Harvey, which purported to re-
yoke a parole granted to Crooks by
former Governor Cooper The court
held that Governor Harvey could not
legally have Crooks incarcerated for
breach of parole conditions, because his
sentence expired in April Of this year.
after which, the court decided, the con-
ditions of the parole were not binding.
The effect Of the court decision, 1t
was pointed out in the opinion, was to
establish the precedent that n convicts
sentence continues to run after he is
paroled.
Governor Harvey's statement fol-
lows:
The highest judicial authority, the
supreme court of the state. has spoken.
The status of the parole system has
law as thus dccYccd is the law and it is
to be obeyed and respected by all. 1t
is well that the issue has been definite
ly determined. II is surprising that a
matter affecting the liberty Of people
and the authority Of the executive has
been so long left unsettled. 1t means
that the parole system as understood
all these years, will practically be
abandoned. The system of paroles as
previously understood seemed to be
wise if properly exercised and rightful-
ly be used by executives in future nets
OF clemency. Those already paroled
will be the only bcncficiariCs Of the de-
cision. My connection with the matter
was wholly impcrsonal I, Of course,
was merely acting for the public, and
as heretofore legally understood. II is
to be regretted that another weapon for
law enforcement is found defective, but
it may serve 10 stir the public to ac-
ton.
The decision of the court will tend
to emphasize the general opinion that
the procedure Of our criminal laws is
sadly in need of revision. The people
will unqucstionably demand that less
loopholos be furnished law vioiators by
means Of tcchnicGlitics and delays, and
that law enforcement he not retarded
delayed and nullliod by means of legal
red tape or court machinery or am
biGuity Of terms"

GENERAL SESSIONS

No time was lost in getting the ma
chinery of the court in working order
when the November term Of general
sessions convened Wednesday morning
with Judge James E. Puerifoy or
Walterboro presiding. A poll or the
grand jury showed that all OF the
members Of that body with two eX-
ceptions were present Judge Puerifoy
told the grand jury that he would
make no general charge to them since
they had been instructed at former
terms during the year relative to their
general duties. The judge informed
the grand jury that he had just found
on his desk a communication signed
by "A Man" informing him that
white man was living with colored
woman in Rock Hill and that the fact
was well known to the police officers
Of Rock Hill who were not inclined to
do anything about it.
Handing the communication to the
foreman, the judge directed him to
have the charge looked into. He said,
however, that he would have felt better
about it if the writer had signed his
name to the complaint.
The grand jury completed its work
late Wednesday afternoon after max
ing its final presentment which includ-

- Football fans of Chester, called up
the sports writer of The Enquirer yes
terday afternoon to say that they were
not satisfied with the action of the
football committee of the State High
school association, which declined to
declare Douglas Minis of Rock Hill
high, ineligible on the ground that he
lad received pay for engaging in base
ball games. According to the Chester
people they presented the. committee
with sworn affidavits to the effect that
Minis was paid SIS week to play with
Fort Mill several weeks in 1921, and
that he was paid 81 for playing a
game in Fort Mill on July 4, of this
year. 1t was stated further that Ches-
ter people were considering the idea of
requesting the committee to reopen
the case relative to Minis.

lament on unemployment and other
questions of interest to the party. on
which it IS supposed Mr.. Clynes would
have courselled going more slowly.
There is little doubt that the labor
party as a whole favored Ramsay Nc
Donald, owing to his superior parlia-
mentary skill. his gift as n speaker
and his extensive knowledge Of foreign
affairs. but there was a strong ele-
ment in favor of re-elccting Mr..
Clynes, at least for the first session,
out of gratitude for his services to the

In sentencing number of negroes

Judge Peurifoy gave them his ideas as

Among other things he told them that
whisky is the cause of more degrada-
ton, more destitution, more poverty,
more crime, more disease, more in
sanity, more death, than any other one
thing which afficts- humanity. The
man who will sell whisky he said is
responsible for all the crimes that
arise out of the traffic. The only
thing that makes men do this is greed
for gain, and the man who is willing
to coin the blood and tears Of women
and children into money through the
sale of whisky is lost to every human
instinct. Further, he went on to say
that the people Of this county have
determined that this traffic must stop,
and am here 10 do what I can to help
in the carrying out Of their righteous
purpose.

Careless dressing offers an open Gvenue
through which the disease Of this season
colds, influenza and pneumonia-may
attack you.
Use care in picking yow clothing this
spring!
Overlooking yourself renders The skin
oversensitive, so that when it Is subjected
to sudden exposure it is unable to stand
1t and you catch cold"
The popular theory is that clothing be-
slows heat to the body by keeping the
cold out.
The fact is that the clothing fs sort OF
safety valve which regulates the amount
Of heat allowed to escape from the body,
Naturally. also. the clothes do defend
the body to q certain extent against the
external influences OF wind and weather.
KEEP HEAT INSIDE.
Clothing. no matter Of what material,
possesses the power Of retaining e Layer
Of air kept warm by our bodies. This
layer of air varies according to the fine
ness and closeness Of the weave Of ma
terial used.
Thick garments are warmer than thin
garments Of the same material merely be-
cause they retain in their meshes a great
er quantity Of heated air.
Loose clothing is warmer than tight
clothing, SO also with shoes and gloves.
With loose clothing, shoes OF gloves there
is a larger layer OF heated air between
the Skin and the material. The circu-
Iation Of the blood is freer. too.
PERMIT PERSPIRATION.
The material of the clothing should
be such as to allow free perspiration from
the skin. We sweat in winter "a we'll as
summer, but the sweat is in the form Of
vapor and is invisible.
To help make the body strong only the
minimum amount Of clothing that viii
secure warmth should be worn Woolens
protect most, but they require the least
exercise OF the temperature-reguIating
apparatus Of the body.
The wool becomes saturated with the
perspiration. which it holds, to the dis
advantage Of the skin. Therefore, wooden
clothing should be confined to outer gar
ments, as overcoats, designed especially
for colder weather.
Fur coats make the skin oversensitive

we cannot understand why any orgaui-

twenty armed followers. and we rode al
together back TO the city. Don Manrique
reported something resembling a stable
government set up at Mexico City. and
said that he supposed that Prothro had
renewed his mining concession. since they
were already beginning TO install the ma
chinery at the mine, and that he himself
had furnished him with fifty workers,
who already knew all the upper IeyeIb Of
the mine.
On reaching Guana1uato we found this
to be true. How much money 1t had cost
I never leaned. but my cousin had Sc
cured a guarantee OF protection from the

pa all just claims to heirs of the mining
property, whether said claims were
recognized by the de facto government or
not.
