WALHALLA, S. C. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 11)10. JUST ANOTHER WARNING. Yes, we are ready to admit that we aro somewhat "old logy iah" and probably a hit over-careful about the rights of others, but we want to give at least one more warning against careless or thoughtless driv ing of automobiles. We have been warning against carelessness and thoughtlessness for a long time. So far no one lias been killed in our town or in the immediate vicinity, but Hie fatal accident is going lo happen yet If auto (?Vivers are not more careful in their driving und thoughtful in the matter of giving warning of their approach. An accident with a horse or mule may bo avoided by giving tho driver of tho animal warning of your car's approach by uso of horn or other signal. There are hundreds of short turns and sharp curves in the roads of this vicinity where an ac cident may happen at any moment, yet there is no need of accidents hap pening at these places if automobile drivers will give warning of their aproach and bring their cars down to a reasonable speed. Not one auto II. ibiie driver out of len in this sec tion ever uses a warning signal. And il is line that nine times out. of len ibo signal is not needed. Hui what uboul (be fatal louth time that is .ipi io come, when the use of Ibo signal might prevent a serious, even fatal, accident? Metter to be safe than sorry- Sor row, regret, remorse, have never mended a broken limb or restored n UL . ! novel vyUt. A l IONA H ''INCIDENT." Prc diapaichuii front Austin, Texas, inform us thal a mau named Shillady was recently taken from his hotel in that city and rather rough ly handled, being given a severe bealing, and being told to make himself scarce, and quickly, in the Stale of Texas. Shlllady's offense was that he wan mooting with, organizing and preach ing to the negroes of Texas the doc trine of social equality, and he made himself very abnoxious to the com munity, with the result that he was given "an urgent invitation" to ab sent himself from Texas soil, with the further injunction that it would bo well for him to make bis abs ?nee permanent. Such eases are, of course, regret table, but they aro also natural con sequencer, of the folly of a few mis guided jorsons who misunderstand conditio)is and do not realize the peril contained in the advocacy ot "social equality" between tho races In this country. At the moment all such gain the hatred of the white people, and within a short, time, af ter negroes have had time to think over the minter, tho contempt of the neg! oe? themselv?:. ls no less stroiiR than tue hatred ol' the whites. And Ibo misguided fools who preach ".-.ocial equality" bo'weon tho races gel tho worst of ho bargain every time. Shillady wis. a .d is, (he secre tary of the "Nntion.il .-.:...> c.ation :.tr tho Advancement of Hm Colored People," and Ibo president, of that iirg.uu?.ition.

We have gullen along icry well without Interference from (lie people of oilier sections, the few race conflicts almost invariably being brought about by reason of some foolish attempts nt "r?gula tion" and "settlement" of conditions by outsiders who know nothing what ever of the South's great problem. If Mr. Shillady, as Mary Ovlngtor states, is "a mau of great import ance in New York," (hon it is ovi dent that bo can best serve his own and others' Interests by staying in i that section of tho country. The re cent occurrence in Austin furnishes ample ovidenco of the fact that. Mr. Shillady is of no Importance In Texas, and that bo ts not wanted in that State. Nor aro Mr. Shillady, Mary Ovlng ton or others who think and act as they do, wanted lu Texas or else where In tho South." Let them confino their labors to their own sections. If they want "social equality, "amal gamation of the races," otc. they are welcomo to it In their own homes, but not In the South. Ryon ts of a not very distant dato in Chicago, In New York and in other sections where negroes have come (ogelhor In largo numbers from tho South have proven that "tho South's problem" becomes "the North's pro blem" In a limited way. Tho North at times, in various sections, at tempts "social equality" and gener ally ends tho attempt with a liberal use of tho bludgeon and hot bullets. Tho South abhors "social equality," refuses to accept lt or Its advocates, but gives the negro a square deal, each raco working lu Its own way to the common end of living poaceably together, yet separate and distinct, as Cod intended lt should be. If the Shllladys and Ovlngtons will but get busy with their own affairs and not Interfore with "the South's problem," tho South and tho other sections of our great country will be bettor for tho transfer of their ener gies. _ of? ?J* ?J?

T. Darby, occurred when a mule standing hitched to a wagon ! nour the sidewalk became frightened at a passing automobile. L. T. Dell, 1 the owner of the mule and wagon, was in the wagon at the time, and ; in the act of making change for some parties to whom ho had sold sonic melons. When the mule became ( frightened it swerved quickly to one i sido, throwing the wagon body on top of the wheels and pitching Mr Hell from the wagon. The mule then 1 started to run, Climbing the bank ol tho high sidewalk, starking thc wagon against a telephone pole jerking tho animal back into thc gulley between tho street and side walk, lt so happened that Mrs. Idu Diirby was nt tho time emlen vor inf to Kain the sidewalk, and fell ii making tho attempt.
