FIRE DESTROYS OLD RESIDENCE

Hartsvillc, Jan. 3.-Smoking ruins
of the home Of the late Major James
Lidc Coker. The fire caught the roof
this morning about II o'clock. James
l.. Coker, eldest son of Major Coker,
owned and occupied the home
1t appears that Mrs. Coker had
left the house for few minutes. Re-
turning she noted the roof of her
home ablaze and Immediately turned
in the alarm. The fire department
responded at once and large crowd
of friends assembled to render aid.
Owing to the poor water pressure due
to long hose connections it was diff
ficult to throw the streams of water
high enough to subduc the flames
which, famed by stiff breeze, made
rapid headway. Possibly spark

PEURIFOY .ALKS ON
ENFORCING THE LAWS

Columbia, Jan. 3.-The fethargic
attitude of the general public toward
the apprehension and conviction of
criminals is the primary cause of law
less conditions in South Carolina, was
the position taken by Judge James E.
Puerifoy in his charge here today
to the Richland county jury at open
ing of the court Of common pleas.
"The greatest weakness in the system
of enforcing the law" he said he
charged "lies in the masses of the
people who are not willing to give
testimony that is true, or who, white
wash things after the commission of
a crime or who intimidate wits"
"Various causes of the prevalence of
crime had been given," he said,
"among them being the failures of
the juries to convict and the freeing
of criminals by astute and skillful
lawyers; when, in fact, the trouble
lies in the attitude of the masses
toward the rights of society and pro-
perty and the repugnance toward re-
porting the crime to the constituted
authorities and the failure to come
into the bar of the court and testify"
More than 100 indictments have been
prepared for the grand jury for the
alleged crimes ranging from murder
to larceny. Of these there are thirty
six indictments for stealing; seven
ty for crimes of violence and six for
violating of the prohibition law.

COOPERATIVE: TOBACCO
MARKETING ASSURED

The Co-operative Marketing Of To-
bacco in the Bright Belt which is
composed of the States of North Caro-
| lina, South Carolina, and Virginia is
now assured from the reports which
have been received from campaign
headquarters. sR3&,l =
It will be remembered that in order
to organize it was necessary for one
half the total production Of the three
states to be in the Association by
January 1, 1922, and for at least
forty per cent of the production of
South Carolina be organized by that
time. We have felt all along that we
were sure of our quota, and now we
are gratified to know that we were
not mistaken.
Clarendon County has gone well
beyond her minimum quota of forty
per cent, and it is believed that she
is slightly over the fifty per cent
mark. Contracts totalling 1,86O,OOO
pounds have passed through this Of
flee: A number of large growers as
well as many smaller ones signed
contracts at meetings in Williams
burg and Florence counties. I do not
have records Of them here and they
have not been counted in the above
figures. They should put our sign
up we'll above the 100000 pound
mark.
l wish again to take this oppor-
tunity to thank everyone who has
helped to put this movement across
by his signature and by his active
work in presenting the idea to others.
Our farmers and business men have
shown wonderful cooperation in this
movement.
I also wish to thank The Manning
Times, for their cooperation in the
liberal space which they have from
time to time given for articles relat-
ing to the organization.
The following is list of the sign
ers of the contract of which / have a
record in this office. If any have been
left out it is my mistake and I will
be glad to correct it. Some few of
the initials may be wrong if so I will
be glad to have my attention called
to this that / may correct them:
