KILLED BY CONVICTS IN PRISON RIOT
Captain Olin Sanders, fatally wounded, is shown on a stretcher as he was tasien out of the office of the South
Carolina State Penitentiary At Columbia, S. C., where he was stabbed to death by six despeiate convicts who at
tempted to force their way from the prison, Sanders died in a hospital a few minutes after this picture was taken.
All the prisoners were forced out of their barricaded refuge when Gov. Olin Johnston ordered National Guardsmen
to release tear-gas bombs.
Bootleggers Buy
Direct From Big
Distilleries Now
In Tl»p Sir AVnlter Hotel.
To the Sir W-'ilter Hotel.
Raleigh, Dec. 14.—North Carolina
'ootleggers now buy about ninety per
cent of their illicit liquor direct from
distillers in Ohio and Kentucky, in
the opinion of Cutlar Moore, chair
man of the State Alcoholic Beverage
Control board.
This is a change in tactics which
has occurred within the last few
months. Up to then most of the liquor
-old in so-called dry counties of North
Carolina was cither stilled locally or
was shipped in by jobbers and whole
-alo houses in Maryland.
The present technique calls for
'hipment by the truckload direct from
distillery to bootleg joint—usually a
Uling station or “night spot” along
'-■ a a prominent highwav.
The liquor is wav-billed to some
->oint in South Carolina, making it a
practical impossibility for enforce
ment officers to interfere with its
'ransportation, their only hope being
to catch the truck in the act of un
loading or to locate large cases of the
h’quor after it has been unloaded and
is awaiting sale.
In dry counties the bootlegger must
still face fierce competition from
dealers in fortified wines, the accent
being on fortification instead of wine.
Even in ABC counties, however, the
bootlegger doesn’t always get his
wares from the county stores. They
have discovered that by buying large
lots at the distilleries they can get
their wares cheaper. So in these coun
ties there is a three-way bid for the
trade—the legal stores, the bootlegger
and the “wine” seller being all inter
ested in the chap who likes his drink.
States Greedy In
Asking U. S. Funds
(Continued from Page One.)
.business men’s convention in a local

States Inconsistent.
The states are extremely inconsis
tent in this matter.
Each is very jealous of its indivi
dual independence— some especially
so, hut none is unresentful of any
hint .of dictation, in its home affairs,
by District of Columbia officialdom.
Yet all of them constantly invite it
by demands for cash from Uncle
Samis treasury.
And if it isn’t forthcoming, the most
vociferous of states’ rights solons are
loudest in expressions of their indig
nation.
When Uncle Sam Cuts—!
Occasionally Uncle Sam feels an
urge to curtail his donations to state
funds for their various own reliefs, ac
tivities and improvements.
Whenever he has one of these
spasms of economy,, the states “yell
their heads off.”
Illustratively, not long ago Presi
dent Roosevelt suggested to Congress
the desirability of cutting down on ap- !
propriations for state road building.
The states’ protest against such a po
licy has been terrific.
Os course, the automotive industry
has joined in it.
A NECESSITY
Now, road building, in moderation,
undoubtedly is a Strong thing.
I can remember when our rural
highways were practically impossible j
to travel in bad weather. Their con

dition handicapped marketing; it was
a national liability. With the auto’s
advent there simply HAD to be an
improvement. And it had to be gen
eral. An autoist was not much bene
fited if, after a few miles’ journeying
along a good pike through an up-to
date community, he bogged down on a
mud road in some less public-spirited
area just adjoining.
Unquestionably some co-ordination
of highways became cryingly neces-
sary.
HOW IT WORKED
The federal government justifiably
took the situation in hand. j
Accordingly, Uncle Sam undertook ’
to spend $1 in United States money to
supplement each state’s $1 in the con- I
stiuction of first class roads within
said state’s boundaries.
That started the states’ road build
ing programs a-going.
Each state wanted to get all it could !
of that federal money. It “hocked” it- j
self to the limit to match Uricle Sam’s i
money.
It was all right up to a Certain point, !
but there were states which overdid
themselves.
They bonded themselves for more
than they could afford in order to
avail themselves of federal benefits
that they did not need. They have
better roads than they require, involv
ing higher taxation rates than they
w e!l can pay—just because, by greed,
they grabbed at near-bankruptcy.
AN ECONOMICAL PROBLEM
Incidentally they raised Cain with
the national transportation industry.
The railways are “in the soup” large
ly because of the growth of bus and
truck competition with rail passenger
and freight carrying.
Prcbably it served the rail lines
right to have their selfish monopoly
cracked in the back by this new rival
ry. Still, it HAS created a new econo
mic problem. It is a national problem,
too. Yet. the states do not want to
consider it so. “States’ rights” is their
motto.
AN OLD QUOTATION
The states’ righters, in short, want
all the privileges of local government,
, with all the advantages (if any) of
nationalization.
As Senator King remarks, they can
not have and eat their cake simultan
eously .
That is a chestnutty quotation, but
it is applicable.
