ed that If Rafe King Is not convict
ed of murder, the Jury could return
a verdict of guilty of murder in the
second degree or even of guilty of
murder in the third degree. This
would not bp possible as In South
Carolina court, there is only one de
gree of murder. The South Carolina
Jury eould return a verdict of guil
ty of murder, which automatically
carries a sentence of death in the
electric chair; It, could return a
verdict of guilty of murder with a
recommendation to the mercy of
the court, In which event it would
be mandatory that, the presiding
Judge .1, K. Henry, would pronounce
sentence of imprisonment in the
South Carolina penitentiary at Co
lumbia for life; it could return a
verdict of guilty of manslaughter,
which In South Carolina requires
that the judge Impose sentence of
from two to thirty years imprison
nent. either In the State peniten
tiary or on the public roads of
Stork county; or the Jury could re
turn a verdict of acquittal. These
air wit uiuy veraicus, unoer sou in
Carolina law, permissable in any
murder case. There is no discre
tion left, with the judge under South
Carolina law' as applying to the first
two verdicts mentioned If the de
fendant is found guilty of murder,
the Jurist is forced to impose the
death sentence; if the defendant is
found gutjty of murder with a rec
ommendation to mercy, the Judge
has no choice except to sentence
the defendant to the penitentiary
for life and of course if acquitted
the defendant is immediately freed.
Robes Required.
North Carolinians who have been
attending the trial commented with
some amusement that Judge Kill
ough Henry, presiding at Chester,
had “donned a flowing black robe"
on account of the special occasion.
Judge Henry may have regarded
the trial as a special occasion, but
under South Carolina iaw, all jurists
presiding In the Palmetto state are
required to wear these black robes
while any eourt Is In session; this
applies to civil court as well as
criminal court
Another provision of South Caro
lina law, which is not always re
quired by all judges but which could
be enforced if the jurists saw fit.
is that, all attorneys practicing in
the court: must appear in the
court "room attired In a white shirt
uid a black suit In tonnrr d.ivs
[rigid adherence to this rule too*
[place but is not always done in !a'
ter days and is not being done ui
tlie Chester court.
South Carolina law requires that
the sheriff if the county in wh’.li
court is sitting shall personally
escort the presiding judge from • u
domicile to the court chambers and
shall escort the jurist back frni
the court house to his stopping
place
No "High Sheriff."
One North Carolina newspaper
representative a few days ago re
ferred to Sheriff Fred E. Quinn of
York county, where the alleged
crime is charged to have been com
mitted, as t.iie “high sheriff" _»f
York county; in South Carolina
there is no high sheriff. The official
designation Is sheriff and his as
sistants, as many as he may have,
are termed deputy sheriffs.
In short, there Is about as muc 1
stmiliarity between North and South
Carolina courts, procedures and
practices, as there Is between night
and day.
Editor Martin Gets
On Brother Hoover
Editor Santford Martin, of the
Winston-Salem Journal, tells Pros’
dent Hoover the South didn't vote
for him. but against “something," In
the editorial appended hereto:
"Hoover Makes His Choice.’*
"A vear ago President Coolidge
was railed upon to make a choice.
It was then that he issued his fam
ous statement: "I do not choose to
run." That was a vital choice. It was
a decisive moment in the career of
Mr. Coolidge when he came to the
point where h«v had to make this
choice. It was the parting of the
ways for him He had to take one
road or the other. There was no
middle route
"Lately President Hoover has al
so been called upon to make a vital
choice. And in effect he has said:
"I do not choose the South." In
dealing with the delicate race ques
tion he came to the parting of the
ways. He was forced to take one of
two courses. There was no middle
road. One led South and the other
North and West. The president de
liberately chose the Northern and
Western route.
‘This explains, in a nutshell, we
think, the appearance of the wife of
a negro congressman for tea at the
White House. This negro woman w-as
the guest of Mrs. Hoover for .he
same reason that Booker T. Wash
ington many years ago was the
luncheon guest of President Roose
velt. That reason was and is politics.
"White House teas for wives of
congressmen are primarily politi
cal, rather than social. But the peo
ple cut through politics and see only
the social side.
"The president could have drop
ped her name and won tremendous
applause in the South, but he would
have brought down upon his nead
a stor mof criticism from the North
and West, and in his next campaign
would have lost count.ess thousands
of votes among the negroes and
foreign element in those sections.
Hoover knows today what Roose
velt knew in his day. namely, that
negroes hold the balance of power
in certain Northern states which
the Republican party normally must

1 elect ion.
f' So it tomes down to this: As i o
!wpen political turmoil in the Nor’li
j and West and political turmoil in
j the Smith. President Hoover deliber
ately clio.se turmoil in the South.
And this all comes back to n
premise The Journal and Scn' ccl
ilaid down several months ago
I namely, that. Mr Hoover .knows the
[Sou*,i; lie knows that the South
politically, is not. for him. He knows
"that the people of the South did not
| vote for him last fall, that they d d
not vole for anybody or anything,
but that they did vote against some
bod v and something, and that as a
result of this vote of protest he re
ceived certain electoral votes in this
section of the country.
"When he appointed his cabinet.
President Hoover demonstrated that
he was making no bid for Southern
political support in future cam
paigns. He has now given a further
land more emphatic and conclusive
demonstration of that fact by Ills
handling of the delicate rare ques
tion confronting him in Washing
ton.
"Mr. Hoover knows the South well
enough to understand thoroughly
that no man ran receive the politi
cal support of the South who ever
remotely indicates a leaning toward
social equality even for political
purpose of the white and colored
races. He knows that fundamental
ly, when the test really conies, the
race Issue in the South transcends
all other Issues. It is a biological
fact that once the race issue is seri
ously raised in any Southern state
all other issues are forgotten. That
is why sane leaders of both races
here strive manfully, in season and
out. to keep the race issue out of
politics. That is why the South'*
greatest reader of the negro race.
Dr. Robert R Moton, head Of Tus
kegee Institute, declares that the
best negroes in the South do not
want social equality of the races,
because they know it would be dis
astrous to both races.
"Having taken his stand on this
issue—having made his choice, which
is the historic choice of the Repub
lican party at the North in dealing
with the race problem—President.
Hoover, of course, will not make
another bid for electoral votes In
the South. He probably would n t
have won the electoral vote of ti ls
section again in any event, but in
the light, of what occurred at the
White House the past week, it. Is
impossible to conceive of his carry
ing a Southern state in future. From
the viewpoint of the South; Mr.
Hoover has made a fatal and an un
pardonable political blunder by
playing politics with the race is
sue."

The Whole Story Is This...
MOST well-known tire manufac
turers in America 8e.ll at least
thrae dlfcerent qualities of tires.
So does Montgomery Ward & Co.
Most well-known tire manufactur
ers in America charge three differ
ent- prices for the three different
qualities of tires.
So does Montgomery Ward & Co.
Most manufacturers or dealers do
not admit that they sell three dif
ferent qualities of tires.
But Montgomery Ward & Co. does!
> Our Super Service RIVERSIDE,
unconditionally guaranteed for
30,000 miles, is our VERY BEST or
Super Quality, and, in our opinion,
the finest tire ever built. Compare it
with any super quality tire made
no matter how high the price.
Our Standard RIVERSIDE, guar
anteed for 16,000 miles, is our FIRST
QUALITY tire,and iscqualinquality
of materials, workmanship, appear
ance and service to other first qual
ity tires made by leading manu
facturers. It should never be com
pared with any "second line” brand
-no matter what name the tire bears.
Orr WARD WEAR tire, guaranteed
for 10,000 miles, is our SECOND
QUALITY tire, and equals any other
second quality tire. It sells at an ex
tremely low price and is only to be
compared with low-priced "second
line” tires produced oy leading man
ufacturers—regardless of any claims
to the contrary.
Montgomery Ward & Co. believes
in "calling a spade a spade” and let
ting the purchaserknowexactly what
we are selling him. It is distinctly
against our policy to create the im
pression that our WARD WEAR qual
ity is to be compared with first qual
ity tires of leading manufacturers.
Common sense should tell you that
when any company produces three
different articles to sell at three dif
ferent prices, there must be a differ
ence in the quality.
All Riverside and Wardwear
tires are made by manufacturers
who are noted for the excellence of
their products. Ward’s economical
distribution methods create short
cuts and economies which are di
rectly reflected in the prices of our
tires and, regardless of whether you
purchase RIVERSIDES or WARD
WEARS, we guarantee that you will
save money as compared with the
prices charged by others for the
same identical qualities. In addition,
at Ward’s you pay for Guaranteed
Mileage, which in itself is a definite
measure of value.
