LTnv,nmu. s Al ' Correspondent Thinks Participants in Mob Law Should be Disfranchised. ha News and Courier. >a To the Editor of The News and Cou- ve L her: Another lynching of a negro in la; this state brings again to the lore the oft recurring question of law en* forcement. The laws of the state are ca now unfavorable to lynching. I'nder (h the law a person who actively partici- a| pates in a lynching bee commits murder. Frequently it is murder in . its ^ most cowardly and brutal form, for u the reason that one defenseless man ^ J is attacked by an armed mob. The C(| poor negro does not have even a sporting chance lor his life. The fact that the person lynched is considered as deserving death is be? h? side the question. It is entirely irrele- ( t' vant. In former times in thickly set- ^ tied communities ot the west vigilance committees found it necessary, in their judgment, to administer what they m) termed swift justice to objectionable ',a citizens. In most of such cases, how- of ever, the accused was at least given ''l I a reasonable chance to show his innocence. in case he fuiled to do so he was executed in an orderly manner, fo I There was 110 molt. Only grave of- Ft lenses received the attention of vigi- wl lance committees. It was not exactly tic lynching, but a sort of rough and in ready justice administered tinder cer- ch tain restrictions. The so-called lynch law of the south ar is entirely different. It is the fury of Ui I an irresponsible mob, often visited u|>- ac on a wretched, defenseless negro for a |>u trivial offense, sometimes, no doubt. cr u|ion the innocent. 15 There is nothing wrong with the 1 law. The difficulty is with law en- uf forceinent. Through cowardice or im- ?i ' proper influences juries, with one ac- 00( , cord, refuse to convict a man accused t>a of lynching or mob murder. This nt. spirit ot lawlessness among juries na is so great that it is often im, possible to get a conviction in a common ordinary case of plain murder. Thus the spirit of lawlessness is made to increase. No doubt then- are now fewer homicides in r?r this state than there were twenty W( years ago. However, the abatement of the li((tior evil is more responsible for this condition thun respect for the of law. In fact, in murder cases, at st< ' least, mob and jury continue to have ru a profound ami far-reaching disrespect po for the law. ' The statute providing that the widow 'n | or heirs at law of t he person murdered ' by mob violence shall have the right de _ to.sue for, damages the caunty-la which- &? ; the lynching occurs has apparently had P? no effect in discouraging mob violence. w< Among ignorant, piejudiced and vicious po people lynching has lost none of Its lie popularity. th< What are we going to do about it? 1 Something should nc aonp, ano inai re quickly. foi Many years ago dueling was a grow- toi | ing evil in this state. It was effect- pl< ively stopped by a law providing that to any person who participates in a duel fui shall be disqualified from voting and wi from holding public oftlce in this state. Why not apply this proved efeffective the oath of office and the oath There is no constitutional or other rcason why the law should not declare ' that any person who takes part in. or aids or abets, a lynching shall be dis- ' franchlsed. In order to make the law ap effetcive the oath of office and the oath rei of the voter required in primary and se^ general elections should be amended Te so as to require the officeholder and ha voter to swear that he has never taken a part in a lynching and was never pres- ha ent when one occurred. This would flc< disqualify a great, many people in lin South Carolina from holding office or an voting. However, the statute could be An so worded as to apply to the future pel only. ' It will lie argued that a person so Br lawless as to participate in mob inur- Th der would not hesiiate to swear false- W< ly. Such a person would not dare Da to swear falsely, for the reason that W< his political opponent or a partisan cai neighbor would not hesitate to show Br his disqualification for office or chal- titl lenge his vote, or prosecute him for jol perjury in case he swore falsely. The yoi parti.san In politics would remain si- WW lent in a prosecution for mob murder. th? The jury would fall to convict of the Br heinous crime of lynching. But the J partisan neighbor would rejoice to hit have his opponent disfranchised or in- sti dicated for perjury. The jury might hei have backbone enough to convict of so ur< inconsequential an offense as perjury, mi These conclusions would lie well within pai the range of probabilities. The risk ma would be too great. The lyncher of eld the future would hesitate long before ly running the risk of losing his right to 1 vote or hold office. Under present 38 conditions the very enormity ^pf the act offense of mob murder protects him. Th The divided responsibility,, the improb- ha1 ability of a score or more of white An people being convicted of killing one rec negro all encourage the lyncher in the the belief that he will not be punished. oui On the other hand, under the pro- wh posed law conditions would be re- ha1 versed. The duty to vote is prized Foi as a right and a privilege. Hankering the for public office is a human frailty " few have the power or courage to cai overcome. Most people hanker in vain, yoi but nearly every one of them would be gre willing to give up lynching rather than Th gi*e up hankering. With many the she right to vote, not the duty to vote, is all highly valued. A man without this the privilege is a sort of political outcast, vie He loses influence In the community, spe The average voter wishes to continue dri to be regarded by his office-seeking Th friends as a possible asset fen the day eat of the election. He would not lightiy in ruti the risk of losing the right to coi vote. e thf Permit me to suggest through your pai valued paper that the proposed law be the considered and discussed. Let us work of up public sentiment in its favor and cat w I It" II 11IC gtuciai OOOCIUUIJ IUCCM W??- V..O uarv next perhaps some leglaUtlon on of the subject can be provided. 1 Hunter A.

On October 25 last, Mrs. Tiffany arrived at the railroad center "somewhere" behind the French front, to Four railronds converged there, she found, und more than 3,000 men a .a) day stopped over ut the station for as refreshments, which were procurable in in liquid form only. There were nu in other facilities for their comfort. T8 "I wish you could see our little village, so tiny and primitive?one at long street winding up a hill with the f. big junction railroad station at the ,t_ bottom and the church at the top: e(j and a stream winding under a bridge half way up, a stream which allows x_ the inevitable laundry to go on," Mrs. Tiffany wrote. "It is picturesque as llc all French villages go but rather too t(1 poor for beauty and there are no rt gardens at all, which is strange." ,0 Less than a month later, November rt 13. to be exact, Mrs. Tiffany told of j, the progress achieved in establishing ay the canteen. A rough addition had e_ been added to the station and dormitory and a recreation room had 0f been completed while a reception e(j room to accommodate 1,1000 men was lg in course Of construction, of "VVc have red and white oilcloth on the tables, red glass carafes, and turo key-red window curtains, and always of flowers on the counter of the recrea,lr tlon room." Mrs. Tiffany wrote. It is the gayest, brightiest room you ever he saw. However, it only holds 120 j. men. Our big room is to have a huge nt kitchen and seats for over a thouc. sand men. g. "The dormitories are wonderful. I never was so proud of anything be0f tore. Two hundred canvas stretch?e ers for beds! We have a splendid y, fumigating plant and an incinerator h, and the place is a model of cleanlihe nesa. ty "All the men take off their wet Is and dirty boots, and we have good u_ felt slippers for them. There are two of big stoves in the room, two woolen hs blankets for each, an orderly who at wakes the men for their trains, good in shower baths and wash rooms. Altogether, when the big room is finished, p. I honestly think it will be a model of a what it should be. he "Last year the men slept In the ?t. road!" ?n However, the speedy transformation in was not effected without the expendl rk ture of great effort, Mrs. Tiffany r- summed It up by saying: i-s "Everything Is going awfully well in and the whole unit has been fine. No g. one should come for this work who is tlr not as strong as a horse and Indiffer?n ent to cold and fatigue. It is terribly es hard. The good it doee is enormous. Is. however, and more than repays one. a Tou never saw anything like the apis preciatlon and gratitude for the good ut we give the men and the price we er charge. We give them a whole meal ot for 15 cents, soup, meat, and vegets tables, or meat and salad, bread and compote. It is really good, too. I id thought I had a good many oceupaid tions, as I wrote you before, but since id then I have been particularly proud s of being a good cook." Mrs. Tiffany in another letter de1 scribes in interesting detail the rou? tine of the canteen's "night shift," i which she regards as more strenuous f than the day relief. "The station is always empty when 1 we arrive, but 15 minutes later it tills up as if by magic," Mrs. Tiffany says, t "This crowd keeps on pretty coni tinuously. It is never an overpower. ing rush, but a steady stream until - about 2.2o and sometimes until 4.30. The men buy their tickets at ttie tlrst 1 window and then pass on to the * counter where the food is served. Of - wurec inej art aiwu>? 111 a ururniA I hurry and push and shove each other as if they were going to get left If i they didn't But there is no reason i for it, because they don't come In for ? meals unless they have at least an 1 hour and usually they have a wait of > three hours. But that makes no dif ference. They act as if they had one minute in which to get and eat-their food. But all are good natured, and if the regular food gives out, they will cheerfully accept any substitute. "At 11.55 comes the big platform service which lasts about an hour. It was the one thing 1 dreaded before coming, but far from minding it now I enjoy it. It certainly is amusing and though on a cold or windy night it is rather trying, you feel that you are of so much more use, just because it is so cold and disagreeable. "Well, this crowd keeps on till after two, when we have our second plat' form service, but if the first train in thiu 1'iiiui i<i Info the nnnteen is fllll until 4.30 as the men won't trust " themselves to sleep in the dormitory r when they have only an hour or two to wait. "Then we get the dishes washed. ' the tables wiped off and the marmites r scoured and at three or four our 1 French volunteers leave us. The cook stays until six when the day ' cook comes on duty. At that time the day scrub woman conies and also one or two French volunteers, who 1 stay until eight and help with the 4 breakfast rush and cleaning up. We ' have to have the soup and the rug' out started and fresh coffee and cocoa ready to serve at six-thirty or seven but the scrubbing of doors comes in the day shift?the one that works from seven to three. And for us, at ' seven the night is over." ' "It has been very hard up to now; 1 but we are all very fit and well. 1 Fourteen or sixteen hours a't a shift have not been at all unusual, and 1 13 hours are habitual to me, but It f him lu-en so verv well worth while. ' Can you imagine feeding an average r of 3,000 men a day, a shifting population, Infantry, cavalry, artillery. "ia' rine?, chasseurs Alpines, engineers, 1 Turcos, Egyptians, Senegalese, and 1 today about 500 Annamites?" ' Mrs. Tiffany writing one letter is ' interrupted by the arrival of a train 1 loud of wounded. At the conclusion r of her duties she resumed her letter: ? "Four hours I have Just come back ' from the canteen. Such an afternoon! A great train of seriously wounded, which is tiring, as one hus to climb in all the carriages. The men adore cocoa. We get into the sanitary trains 1 and begin with the men who are well enough to sit up and handle tin 1 cups, and afterwards those who are \ AooJll to UIL-tfaeir heads .or ua* Ihelr f hands. Those, of course, we have to f lift and feed ourselves; as there are r usually between two and three hun dred men in a train you can see one > has to work quickly to get through. "The work is hard and takes a real vision and inspiration to keep on day after day. "1 have personally dressed und bandaged the frozen feet of 23 Senagalese in the last ten days; great ' huge blacks, they were, whose feet " were swollen three times the usual size. The station doctor brought us certain simple remedies for common hurts, und four of us took bandaging lessons at Neuilly. There Is a lot of) ' dressing. Sixty have been done this . week. The other day we had a sanl' tary train with two wagons full of i nothing but chest wounds?twentyi four men whose coughing disturbed others, so they were put together. "The dressings I find the hardest i part. I can stand the wounds and the blood, but the face wounds are so much the worst for me. "As long as I live I shall be grateful that I have had the chance to i do this work. It is far bigger and more important than I had any idea i of." Sells fat work Mr. L. E.

The wonderful development of coaltar products within a few years has stimulated interest in other lines, particularly in the lumber trade, and the waste products of the mills and the forest litter are now made into |?aper. or distilled for the alcohol content -and for the sugar, acetate and charcoal, which can l?e economically extracted and turned into protit uu iler tne magic wanu ?>i me ii'imutii i chemist. Cotton seed has been made to yield food values and oils, and the south liar established mills to crush the former waste which tilled the rivers and was swept to the sea. The peanut, too. is now doubled in value beiaus> of the oil extracted. The packing Industry Is making adrenaline from the suprari nal glands of sheep; still another source of wealth in spite of the declaration of a Chicagoan that his company utilized every part of the sheep but the bleat and all of the pig but the squeal. It has recently been discovered '.hat the materials used in dry batteries are not entirely consumed and can be recovered in the form of zinc and manganese salts, and a nianuf icturer figures that he can allow two ctnts apiece for exhausted batteries and make money. Potash is being recovered from molasses and from cement, tanning from the bark of the western hemlock, oil for making rubber substitutes is taken from tish offal, and the saline deposits of the western plains are made to yield magnesium sulphate and sal soda. ?Drug and Chemical Markets.
