Newspaper Page TextVOLUME 4S - NUMBER 24 District Attorney Dewey Hayes Looks over His New Book District Attorney Dewey Hayes On "You and The Law" A continual rise in crime has prompted one public offi cial to write a recipe book. The “chef” is Dewey Hayes, District Attorney for the Way cros Judicial Circuit, com prising Bacon, Brantley, Charlton, Coffee, Pierce, and Ware counties. This book, written in lay man’s terminology, contains ingredients designed to help citizens of Georgia, especially businessmen, prevent and re port crime. District Attorney Hayes be lieves 50 percent of crime in certain areas could be elimina ted if businessmen had a knowledge of the law and how to function under the law. “I’ve found tiiat many busi nessmen do not understand what constitutes a crime and what to do about it,” he says. “This causes legal problems if and When they decide to prosecute. Because of this, I feel this book entitled, ‘You and the Law’, will help bridge the gap of understand mg. Mr. Hayes has divided the book'into 11 chapters, dealing PASTOR'S PEN THE BIBLE Very few people in this generation remember Billy Sunday. In his day, he was the Billy Graham of today. In his talks he had a style of his own as shown in the way he wrote these words about the Bible. He said, and this is as close as I can get to his words. “Twenty nine years ago, with the Holy Spirit as my guide, I entered at the gates of Genesis, walked down the corridor of the Old Testament art galler ies, wher Pictures of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Issac, Jacob and Daniel hung on the wall. I passed into the music room of the Psalms where the spirit sweeps the keyboard of nature until it seems that every string and pipe in God’s great organ responds to the harp of David, who was the sweet singer of Israel. I entered the Chamber of Eccleseastes where the voice of the preacher is heard, and into the con servatory iof Sharon, and the lily of the Valley where sweet spices filled and perfumed my life. I entered the business office of the Proverbs, and on into the observatory of the prophets, where I saw telescopes of various sizes pointing to far off events, especially concentrating on the bright and morning star of Bethlehem which was to rise above the moonlit hills of Judea for our salvation and redemption. I enter ed the audience room of the King, of Kings, catch ing a vision written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Then into the Correspondence room of Paul, Peter, James and John writing their epistles.. I stepped into the throne roiom of Revelations, where towers the glittering peaks, where sits the King of Kings upon his throne of Glory with the healing of the nations in his hands.” Billy Sunday was a great man and it is a shame I can’t find more about him. BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. with the problems that plague businessmen most: worthless checks, credit card frauds, theft by taking (shoplifting), forgery, burglary, robbery, criminal homicide, arson (fire bomb and molotov cock tail), and commercial fraud practices. There are other chapters en titled, ‘Reporting Crimes’, ‘Law Enforcement Agencies,’ ‘You and the Court.’ Each chapter gives a summary of the law, the penalties, and what type of evidence is need ed to prosecute. “Whether the offense is passing a worthless check, shoplifing, theft, burglary, ar son, fire bombing, or robbery, knowledge of what constitutes an offense and how to notify the proper authorities will help prevent crime,” Mr. Hay es says. “The District Attor ney’s office, which represents the State in all felony criminal cases and some misdeameanor cases, needs the public’s ' full cooperation in the prosecution of offenders. I hope everyone will report each violation known to him and participate Rev. R. S. Round, Pastor of Nahunta Methodist Church in vigorous prosecution. The individual who lets an offen der go free encourages crime.” President of the Georgia District Attorney’s Association, Reid Merritt, of Lawrenceville and the Gwinnett Circuit, says of the book, “Mr. Hayes’ pub lication should be a valuable tool for those puzzled about the law. It’s information the businessman needs every day.” Tom Ridgeway, District At torney for the Western Circuit, resident of Monroe, and Vice President of the Association, commented, “In my opinion it is one of the best books I’ve seen written for lay people. I hope to have it reproduced for the citizens of my circuit.” Marvin B. Pash, who holds a law degree and heads the Criminal Justice Division at South Georgia College in Douglas, says the District At torney’s book is “something that has been needed in Geor gia for a long time.” “Not only is it timely, but it is specific and is prepared from a legal standpoint the layman can understand,” Mr. Pash said. Because it was written as a public service, it is District At torney Hayes’ desire that ev ery businessman and citizen in the Way cross Judicial Cir cuit have a copy of the book at no cost.

How many hogs have been stolen here in Brantley County the last two years? How many miles of pow er line have been stolen? How many cows have been shot down and quartered with a wood axe? How many houses have been broken into and money or other valuables stolen? How many stores have been broken into? How many times has one of the public owned buildings been broken into? How many vending machines have been robbed? How many trucks, cars and license plates have been stolen? How many pulpwood producers have lost tires, gas oline, batteries and tools? How many pulpwood pro ducers have had their trucks or tractors stolen or damaged ? How many cases of thievery has g'one un reported because of the attitude that nothing will be done about it? When the Sheriff’s Department or other law en forcement agencies fail to arrest, then the public will soon stop reporting offenses. If the thief is not arrested, the Grand Jury can not indict. If the Grand Jury is given ironclad evi dence, impeccable testimony where only a true bill could be given, then fails to indict due to politics or other reasons, then the Judge and twelve men and women cannlot sit in judgement of the offender. If the Judge and twelve men and women fail to find the thief guilty or lets the thief off due to a loop h’ole in our modern laws, then the public will tend to not re port offenses.
