terday following the acquittal of two
men accused of completely in hooded
whippings. and controversy be-
tween Attorney General Charlie c.
Mccall, the State law enforcement de-
partment and the Ku Klux Klan.
Judge A. e. Gamble adjourned court
today after the withdrawing by So
licitor Calvin Poole of the States
cases against 81 men remaining to
be tried for participation in a score
of masked lashings in Crenshaw
County.
Poole, who has aided Mr.. Mccall in
prosecuting the cases, said he was
not willing to quash the cases, but
asked that they be tabled until such
time as there is a. different sentiment
in the county"
The remaining cases, the solicitor
explained. "can be tried at any future
term of court. or they may never be
tried
The collapse of the trials followed
the withdrawal last night of Attorney
General Mccall from active participa-
tion in the prosecution, after he had
charged the Klan with attempting to
"quiet" him in his investigation of
f1oggings. The attorney general had
had charge of the inquiry that led to
the indictments and in statement
accompanying his withdrawal he
charged that "the State law enforce
ment department, as represented by
its chief supervisor and seveNl of his
assistants, has exhibited in my judg-
ment frenzied desire to assist the
defense instead of the State prosecut-
ing officials"

SANDSTONE SLUGGERS
DEFEATED BY ASKOV

Sandstone and Askov played an in
teresting game of baseball on the
Askov diamond Sunday in which
Askov won by a score of 10 to 8.
Sandstone got off to good start with
3 runs in the first inning and in
the second inning while Askov was
blanked in both stanZas. Clegg was
pitching for Askov in the first four
innings but did not appear to be up
to his usual, form and as the locals
were short of several regular players
that day, Phil Anderson of Sturgeon
Lake, was called on to do mound
duty, Clegg then going behind the
bat and relieving Sigvard Sorensen
who caught the first four innings.
Anderson pitched excellent ball, hold
ing the Quarry City sluggers score
less for the balance of the game ex-
cept for the seventh inning when they
secured one tally. Larson and Hal
ley did battery work for Sandstone.
Lynn Anderson and Beccue of Stur-
geon Lake, were also used on the
Askov team Sunday.
In the ninth inning when Askov
went to bat the score stood to in
favor of Sandstone, but then the To-
cal boys went right to work and did
some smuggling, running in 4 scores
and thus ending the game with one
run lead. Attorney Johnson of Sand
stone, who is depended on to do some
heavy hitting right along, secured a
three-bagger and scored three of the
runs, thus keeping up his reputation.
No box score was kept of the game
so a detailed report cannot be given.
The last inning was a thriller for
Askov and brought the crowd to it's
feet.

OBEY TRAFFIC LAW:
PREVENT ACCIDENTS
XIX. Parking on Highways.

The section of the new traffic law
governing parking is clear and def
mite. 1t says:
mo person shall park or leave
standing any vehicle, whether attend
ed or unattended, upon the paved or
improved or main travelled portion
of any highway, outside a munich
pality, when it is practicable to park
or leave such vehicle standing off of
the paved or improved or main
Travelled portion of such highway;
provided, in no event shall any per-
son leave standing any vehicle, upon
any highway unless a clear and I'M
obstructed width of not less than
fifteen feet upon the main travelled
portion of said highway opposite
such standing vehicle shall be left
for free passage of other vehicles
thereon, nor unless a clear view of
such vehicle may be obtained from
a distance of 200 feet in each direc-
ton upon such highway"
Failure to observe this section of
the law not only causes danger and
delay to others, but it may result in
serious damage to yourself or your
car.
XXX. Exceptions to Parking Rule.
Another paragraph in the law pro-
vides that the rule against parking
on the main travelled portion of the
highway shall not apply to any We
hicle which is disabled while on the
highway in such manner and to such
extent that it is impossible to avoid
stopping and temporarily leaving such
vehicle in such position.
This paragraph is as strong in what
is does not say. as in what it says.
1t makes it clear that it is not per-
mitted to stop and make repairs on
the roadway if it is possible to move
the vehicle to the side of the road.
Unless there is broken wheel, most
machines on a level road can be
pushed to the side by one or two per-
sons. For safety sake, it should be
done as soon as possible.
XXI. Parking at Certain Places.
The state law prohibits parking or
permitting a vehicle to stand, wheth-
err attended or not, in front of a pri-
vate driveway or within fifteen feet
of a fire -hydrant or the entrance to
a fire station nor within twenty-five
feet of the intersection of the curb
lines, or if none, then within fifteen
feet of the intersection of property
lines at an intersection of highways.
These rules are both for the safety
of traffic and the safety of the public
in general. Parking too close to a
fire station or a hydrant might cause
serious delay in putting out fire.
Parking too close to an intersection
obstructs the view and may cause
serious traffic accidents.
