REPORT ON LURAY LYNCHING.
Hampton Sheriff Says He is Unable
to Find Out Anything.
Columbia, Nov. 27.-Gov. Ansel to
day received the written report of
Sheriff Lightsey, of Hampton, on the
Luray lynching in response to the
governor's order to go to Luray and
investigate. The sheriff was unable
to give a single fact in addition to
that reported in the newspapers.
He says that he was unable to find
out anything. The only witness he
reports from is the father of the
young woman on whom the attempt
is alleged to have been made.
The sheriff says that he knew noth.
ing of the lynching until twenty-four
hours after it was committed. He was
in telephone communication with Lu.
ray, but nobody there asked for his
services.
He says that he would have done
all in his power to put down the
lynching.
"A Philanthropist Is a Man
With More Money Than Sense"I
-Andrew Carnegie.
New York.-We must all learn the
great truth that oly competence is
dirable, - almost necessary, wealth
non-essential, and when it does come,
it is only a sacred trust to be
administered for the general good."
Resolved to a single sentence, this
is the ground text of the chapter on
"Wealth" that holds the initial posi
tion of honor in a new book of which
Andrew Carnegie is the author and
which, under the title of "Problems
of Today," has just been published.
"Wealth,'" "Labor,'" and "So
eialism,'" are the specific subjects to
which Mr. Carnegie Tas devoted his
pen this iline, though there are chap
ters dealing with "Thrift,"''"Wag
es," "Individualism vs. Socialism,"
"Pamily Relations," "My Experi
ence- With Railroad Rates and Re
bates," and other problems of the
present.
The book is dedicated to Theodore
Roosevelt, "a good and great presi
dent who has elevated the standard
of duty in both public and private
life, apostle of the "Square Deal''
for all classes of men, a true man of
the people, and a model citizen in ex
ample and precept."
H ere are a few of Mr. Carnegie's
thoughts in tabloid form:
"Beyond a competence for old age,
whieh need not be great and may be
very small, wealth lessens rather than
increases human happiness.''
"Millionaires who laugh are rare.
"To keep a fortune is scarcely less
difficult than to acquire it.''
"A philanthropist generally means
a man with more money than sense."
"There can be no hereditary aristo
cracy of wealth. Where it is left free,
as a rule, it passes in three genera
tions from shirt sleeves to shirt
sleeves in all English-speaking lands
except the United Kingdom, where
the law of primogeniture and legal
settlements guard a hereditary class
and defeat the operation of the na
tural law.''
"Wealth confers no fame, al
though it may buy titles where such -
prevails."
"One of the chief objections to
present day socialism is that while it
lends itself to endless talk, it is yet I
doomed to inaction as a system until
and unless human nature itself isj
changed in the countless ages to come.I
Earnes~t and good men, touched to
.fine issues, should not occupy them
selves grasping at listant shad- vs
while the substance, improvement of
the present, lies at their feet ready
for treatment.''
AFTER FEW DAYS
GET A DIVORCE
Enid, Okla.-After a trial marriage
which lasted eight days and had
crowded into it all the material eJle
mnents of a cyclone, Merritt Mason, 80
years old, and Lucinda Mason, 76, ap
peared in court and asked for a di
vorce.
Judge Cullison, who had married
them, granted it in self defense.
Disregarding t.he pounding of the
* judge's gavel, the old man and the
old woman ran a race telling what
each thought of the other. Never,
perhaps, in the history of Oklahoma
courts were so much vituperative
crimination and recrimination crowd
ed into the same space of time.
After the court stenographer had
despaired of keeping the testimony
of Mason and his wife. separate and
the judge had mushroomed the end
of his gavel, the court silenced the
couple long enough to say:
"The divorce is granted. Now, will
you shut up" I'
