B The Anderson Daily Mail publishes an editorial on the killing of Mark Smith here last Saturday which ia il- ^ luminating to the extent that it n shows us what people in other sec- 81 tions think of this county and its n citizens. One paragraph reads, "Ab- ? beville County has mkny good 'citi- 0 zens, and now they are confronted b with this cold, blunt question, Have e they sufficient moral courage to enforce the law against murder?" Again, "There have been no arrests 0 and nobody seehis to be very greatly 11 concerned about it." The article in the Mail follows: "According to reports printed in 1 the newspapers, a negro was going along a public road three miles from ^ the town of Abbeville last Saturday ^ night, in company with his wife and j mother, when a party of men drove up in an automobile, shot him to death, took his body into the automobile and drove off with it. p "There have been no arrests and s< nobody seems to be very greatly ^ concerned about it. . "It is said that the negro who was ^ killed was tried and acquitted some j c weeks ago for shooting the deputy j t snentf of Abbevilie county and in-1 ^ flicting a slight wound, but it is not ^ known that this had anything to do a with his own murder. "What are the people of Abbeville ? county going to do about this affair? They failed to punish the white men who killed another negro in that county several years ago, in cold! blood. "^.bbeville count has many good citizens, and now they are confront ed with this cold, blunt question, V Have they sufficient moral courage to enforce the law against murder? "In the days of negro rule in this state, negroes shot and killed white men and no attempt was made to punish them. Now we have white F nilp. and whifp mpn atinf. and till no. groes and no attempt is made to punish them. "The plea was made for the negroes that they were ignorant and vicious and did not know any better. Is this plea to be offered for the white men? "We all know better than that. The white people of Abbeville are not ignorant. But it does seem that they are woefully lacking in moral courage.'" v. ' 1 ' GIRLS!
