THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1921.
Our Dumb Animals, monthly
magazine published at Norwood,
Mass., has earned the respect of
the entire country for the good
work it has done in behalf of the
prevention of cruelty to animals;
but it is apt to lose a considera-<
ble part of this respect if it makes
u jjiiiuime 01 muorsing inane indictments
of the Southern people
as in the case of the alleged
mistreatment of a negro preacher
who claims to have been struck
without cause by a white man in
a Southern city. "This is a cruel
South in which we live," says
the preacher, whose charge is
rolled *as a sweet morsel under the
tongue of Our Dumb Animals.
There is no Wotan line to be
breached by negro preachers or
others who thiuk they would receive
better treatment in the
North than they are receiving in
the South, and the trains are
running on good time between
the sections. Fort Mill is a representative
Southern community
.in which the races are about
evenly divided. To our certain
knowledge there lias not been in
years a violent physical encounter
here between a white man
and a negro man. Of course
there are brutal white men in the
South who. abuse negro men, just
as there are brutal white men in
every State of the North who
abuse one another; but because
this I* All lilt Iftll oviufll ill flin M/i?lli

furnishes no reason for Southern
newspapers or magazines to accuse
the entire citizenship of the
North of brutality. There is an
old adage about the shoemaker
sticking to his last?Our Dumb
Animals would tetter confine its
efforts to helping "those that
cannot speak for themselves."
People who are interested only
in those things happening within
tlie ken of their <Swn doorstoop
probably have not thought it
worth while to observe the struggle
that has been going 011 in Ireland
for the last two or three
years, where the state of affairs
has progressively gone from bad
to worse with the passing of the
davs an ft vf?jir? rn>?

human beings is now become so
common in Ireland that scarcely
a day passes without the daily
press carrying reports of from
one to half a dozen men, frequently
a greater number, meeting
violent deaths, either at the
hands of the Sinn Feiners or the
British soldiery in reprisal for
slaying of their comrades by the
the Sinn Feiners. Possibly the
Englishman has no love for the
Irishman and to that extent at
least there is a common understanding
between them; but however
that may /be, it is certain
that the average Irishman who
comes to this country hates the
Englisman and everything English
with all his being. Religion is
playing a part in the trouble.
The south and west Irishman is
intensely Roman Catholic and abhors
the idea of a Protestant
government set up in another
country controlling the affairs of
his country. But not all of Irelaud
is Roman Catholic and has
v the same feeling against the Brit\
ish _ government- The northern
tier of Irish counties, Ulster, is
as intensely Protestant as the
other sections of the country are
Roman Catholic. The people of
Ulster do not want home rule for
all of Ireland, basing their objection
upon the fear that with an
Irish parliament in Dublin legislating
for the whole country they
would have no rights which the
majority element of Roman Catholics
would - respect. "Whatever
the merit of the contention, of the
opposing sides, things have taken
an odd turn for the Ulsterites.
There1 is no question of their loyalty
to the British government
and they have been implacable
toes ot home rule; but now they
are about to be given for their
own section of the country what
they have opposed for the balance
of the country?home rule?
with this difference, however,
they are hot to be outside the
supervision of the London government,
whereas the home-rulers
for all Ireland contend for absolute
independence.

news of your home community.
The Times today prints from the
Yorkville Enquirer a statement
to the effect that plans arc on
foot in Fort Mill to build a concrete
road from the main square
of the town to the Catawba river
2 J mi. 1 - *
uuugi-. me repori may ue true;
but money is one of the essential
things to the building of concrete
roads, and whence is the money
to come for Fort Mill to undertake
this enterprise? Furthermore,
the people of Fort Mill are
under no obligation to build a
concrete road or any other sort
of road between the town and the
liver. The present road is the
property of York county and
when it is repaired or rebuilt the
expense of the work should be
borne by the entire county. Fort
Mill, uncomplainingly, has for
years borne her part of the taxation
necessary for the improvement
of the public roads in other
sections of the county and it
seems, in all fairness, that the
time is here for^the county to
give the roads of this township
some attention. The two miles of
public road between Fort Mill
] n.x i ? "
iinu v uiawoa river is, as 1 lie inquirer
says, in very bad condition.
there any reason why
the county chaingang should not
he brought to Fort Mill township
within the next month or two to
rebuild this road? A negative
answer by the coftnty authorities
would be pleasing to the-people
of this section.
