Whitefoot the Wood Mouse.


Jimmy Skunk had advised White

home and told him to stay away. lie
had advised Whitefoot 10 forget his
troubles and 20 have a good time

happy ss | had been unhappy. and
that is just what is going 70 happen
20 you. All ! am going 10 tell you is
that Mrs. Whitefoot has a secret, and
that when the time comes she will
share that secret with you. Then
you will be the happiest Wood Mouse
that ever lived. SO stop your worry
ing and just have good time"
With this Jimmy Skunk turned and
ambled away. Whitcfoot begged and
begged Jimmy 20 tell him more, but
Jimmy simply shook his head and
kept night on. Presently ali that
Whitefoot could see Of him was the
two white spots in the Black Shadows
made by the white stripe on Jimmy's
back and the white tip Of his big
tail. Then even these disappeared
and once more Whitefoot was quite
alone
No more puzzled Wood Mouse ever
lived than was Whitefoot as he sat
thinking over what Jimmy skunk had
said. Somehow he felt better. Jimmy
had seemed 20 know just that he was
talking about. Jimmy said he had
been through the same thing and in
the end il had all come out right.

with an age and state where with
less than 100000 of souls within
O year there are 247 human lives
snuffed out and sent into eternity
on a moments notice by another
human being, usually under a high
emotional tension.
"This was the situation in South
Carolina in 1921. The records Of the
bureau of vital statistics of the state
board of health are authority for the
statement that last year there were
247 people who died in South Caro-
lima with homicide as the assigned
cause of death. The situation in
1920 reveals 24S as the number of
tomicides within our border.
"These figures mean that practical
ly two days out of every three with
in the borders of our fair state some
human being takes the life Of an
other human being, and the voice OF
Abel cries aloud from the ground
before the Almighty to condemn his
brother, Cain. Almost every day the
press carries the details of some hor-
rible tragedy enacted within our bor-
ders and we wonder that human be-
ings can so degrade themselves and
mark the perspective in which they
should view life.
"In only one county in the state
was there no homicide in 1921. We
ere glad that there was this one, and
may Dorchester county stand out as
an example to its sister counties in
spring them to likewise keep their
hands free of blood of their fellow
man.
"The county with the largest num-
Der of homicides last year, is Flor
ence with 16 such tragedies enacted
in it's midst. 1t is closely followed
by Spartanburg with Is homicides,
and Charleston and Bamberg with 13
each.
"But it would be somewhat unfair
to put the rating upon this basis, for
some counties have much larger pop
ulations than others. Ranking the
counties by the number Of hcmicides
rer 100000 population, Bamberg
county makes decidedly the worst
showing with 62 homicides per 100,-
coo population. Mccormick is next
with 36.5 and Florence 44th with
s1.7 homicides per 100000 popula-
ton. The relative position Of the
counties of the state in this hall of
infamy may be seen by reference to
the accompanying table.

situation as this? Is it defective

KILLING IN THE STATE
EVERY OTHER DAY.
Two Hundred and Forty-Seven Hon.
icides in South Carolina, Accord
ing to University Professor.

South Carolina averaged G. homi-
eide every other day last year, ac-
coroling to figures compiled by Prof.
Wilson Gee, of the department Of
rural social science at the University
of South Carolina. These figures,
based upon the records of the bureau
Of vital statistics, show that during
the year 247 people lost their lives
through violence in the state, an
average of lat homicides for every
100000 people in the state.
OF the 46 counties in the state,
Dorchester has the only spotless
record, while Banberg, with 13 hom-
icides, has the worst record of 81
violent deaths fer each 100000 pop
ujation. Florence, ranking 44th in
the least, had total of 16 homicides,
but only showed a record Of BIT
homicides per 100000 population.
Richland county is seventh in the list
with a total of seven, or of only 9
for every 100,09c people.
"rhere is nothing more priceless or
precious in the world than human
life," Professor Gee says, "The val
ue of single soul is incapable of
being estimated in terms of material
consideration. All such attempts in
the history of mankind have met
with disaster.
"Some nameless crimes that are
worse than depr;ving the human in
dividual of the light to live, because
they take the motive and joy out of
living, but these are few in number.
One of the first principles engraved
into the makeup of the young life
should be the consideration of the
rights and privileges OF his fellow

one of the most famous documents in

Can it be a partial version to barbar-
ism inspired by the scenes of the
recent world war? Are our churches
failing to live up to their high mis-
sion in the state? Is it that our mod
ern methods of fast living have dis
turbed our poise and sense of regard
for human life? Perhaps slack pro-
hibition enforcement and bad liquor
are partially responsible.
"Whatever may be the cause or
causes ore thing is plain in this re-
gard. Our people must be awakened
to a real consciousness OF the awful
situation-247 honicides in South
Carolina in 1921! And every restrain
ing agency within the state must
exert to the fullest extent it's in
fiuence to prevent a recurrence of this
terrible orgy of crime in 1922 and
subsequent years.
