Remove the Ceute.
In not one of the newspapers ]
we have seen containing an i
editorial reference to the Rich- ]
mond speech of Governor Blease <
in which he said the militia 1
would not be ordered out in South I
Carolina while he was Governor ]
to protect negro assailants of j
white women, has there been <
? anything but harsh criticism of j
the Governor. Indeed, some of J
the - newspapers and at least
one Governor have gone so far
in condemnation of Governor 1
Blease as to suggest i hat he be t
impeached. The opinion of these i
critics is not apt to be con- "]
sidered seriously by the South t
Carolina Legislature?for the t
reason that the members of the i
Legislature know the Governor j
expressed the sentiment of nine- i
tenths of the people of the State, t
It is one thing to talk of the t
shame and ignominy which the (
Governor has brought upon the j
State by his utterances; it is (
Quite another thing to consider
what he said in connection with
the actual conditions which con- 1
front the people of South Caro- 1
lina 365 days in the year. It is 1
spurious to contend that outside J
the well policed towns and cities
of the State white women aresafe
in South Carolina. The
man who argues affirmatively is <
either ignorant of conditions or .
does not take counsel of the facts, i
Our people hold the honor of one 1
white woman in greater rever- 1
ence and consider it more sacred (
than the existence of a thousand
human gorillas. If Governor
Blease's speech has had or will i
have the t ffect of deterring one, i
black from committing or attempting
to commit the awful
crime for which so many of them
have been lynched, the speech
was not amiss. Let those who
talk of law and order and the
sacrednes3 of the constitution
and who. in this connection, wittingly
or unwittingly defend
these degenerates go into the
highways and byways and preach
against the crime which begets
lynching instead of anathematiz-1
ing the men who try to protect
tie womanhood of our section.
There will be lynchings in South
Carolina as long as white women
are attacked, and whether Blease
or some one else is Governor our
citizens are not going to be shot
down by the militia or convicted
in the courts for avenging the
crime.
It seems that the negro is not
alone in committing the crime
for which so many of his race
have b< en dealt with summarily
in the South. The European
flotsam and jetsam that is arriving
by the tens of thousands
in America yearly furnishes not
a few specimens of Caucasian
degeneracy that quite equal if
indeed they do not outdo the
worst negro that ever dangled
at the noose e id of a rope.
Strange as it may seem to those
who are not informed of the
characteristics of the Greek of
today, it is said that in certain
sections of the West members
of this once cultured and intellectual
race are heartily disliked
for their depraved tendencies.
Some days ago a gentleman
whose home is in the West was
heard to remark that no Southern
black ever committed a crime
that rivaled in beastliness the
crime of a Greek in the community
in which the gentleman
lives. The people of certain
%
sections of the West, according
to this informant, now look upon
the Greeks with such suspicion
and detestation that sooner or
later they will have to move out
The Charlotte Chronicle seemingly
is vexed at the early morning
blowing of the whistles of
Charlotte's manufactories and
has this to say about it: "There
is no earthly use for a factory
whistle blowing for two, three or
five minutes every morning.
When a man or woman* invalid
or a person with 'nerves,'protests
against such noises, they are no
longer considered cranks. It is
a fact recognized by all medical
men and other well informed
people that the death or recovery
of many a patient may depend
upon the degree of quiet about
thorn. For that matter, even
the ordinary, normal individual
finds loud, abrupt and grating
noises annoying." Just why the
whistles of Charlotte and other4
places are blown for several minutes
each morning we do not
know. It my be to awaken the
operatives or it may be to let the
workers know that the mill will
oe in operation during the day.
But, be that as it may, it does
seem that one or two short blasts
of the whistles would serve the
ourpose as well as wasting steam
'or several minutes.
Several of our exchanges have
oobbed up this week containing
Jiat old bewhiskered editorial
'rom the New York Sun, "Is
There a Santa Claus?" The
;hing is old enough to be forgot;en,
and it is a wonder that any
lewspaper should try to palm
t off on the public as something
lew. Furthermore, there is lit;le
merit to it, for, like most of
;he reading books the little chi!iren
study in the public schools,
t contains words they do not unierstand.
After the holidays many a man
probably will conclude that "it
;vere better to have given and
lot received than not to have
jiven at all."
York Stands Seventh in Wealth.
The figures given out from the
iffice of Comptroller General
Jones show that York county
stands seventh in the State in
the matter of valuation of property.
The total taxable value of
erty in the State is $291,531.^00.
of which amount York is
asses ed for $8,944,761.
The statement shows that
Charleston is the wealthiest
county,h i\ iug an assessed valuation
o: $25,6' 1 415. Spartanburg
is ? e ond ui n a valuation of
$19,216,222. It volar.d third with
$i8 352.011, Greenville fourth
wiin $i5.654,540, Anderson fifth
with $13,014,265, Aiken sixth
wiin $11,379,060. Orangeburg
is eighth vv ii h S8,693,140.
The amount of State taxes
charged against the various
counties is $1,676,303.26. The
tax levy last year was 5 3-4 mills,
but it is more than probable that
this will be raised one mill next
year

FRAIL, S1CKLYTH1LJ
Restored to Health by Vinol?
Letter to Mothers.
Anxious mothers often wonder why
tYiolo nr? Kfl Tinlp thill and
nervous and have so little appetite.
Tor the benefit of sucii mothers In
this vicinity we publish the following
letter.
J. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn., says: "My little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been frail and
sickly, and was a constant source of
worriment. Several months ago we
commenced to give her Vinol. I immediately
noted an improvement in
her health and appearance. I gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her I can truly
say it will do all you claim."
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from cods' livers,
?combined with the blood-making
and strength-creating properties of
tonic iron, which are contained In
Vinol.
Vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and the
weak, run-down and debilitated. We
return the money In every case where
it fails.
