THIS WOKLD'H ATT1TUDK Not One of Ketl Good Hut To Villify State Thinks Senator Mease. Hy Staff Correspondent Columbia, Nov. JJU.? Senator (.'ole b. Mouse wa* mi Columbia on hi* way back to Washington/wlgm The New York World reached hdre with it* dispatch from it* staff correspondent "investigating" the Aiken lynching, with the statement tiiat "already Cole Hlease, IJ. S. Senator from South Carolina and revered leader of a rabid army of mill - worker*, hillbillies and negro-haters, ha*' offered to defend such of the lyncher* a* are fiis friend* and U) oppose the constitutional damages for lynching sought by old Sam Cowman," and that "Aiken County is the heart of Hluaxcism, and there has never been an) question in the minds of Horse Creek Valley that the men who march behind Cole Hlea*e to the poll* include the lynchers of the bowman*." The dispatch was shown to Senator Mease. "This contemptuous rof( rence to the majority of the white voter* of South Carolina who elected me to the United States Senate two years ago," said the senator, M* imply vents the spleen that seem* to be actuating this so-called 'investigation' by The New York World, and show* up in bold relief it* real sinister motives?not that the layv may be vindicated, hut that South Carolina may unjustly be held up to the scorn of the nation. It is a pitiable spectacle that some few South Carolinian* ? most of them, I am glad to say, however, not natives of this -state, but who have made their homes here ahd are making a living here?seem to be able to applaud such aspersions as thi* New York newspaper has been guilty of, cast upon the entire state. Maybe now, however, when they have so far overstepped the bounds, even these few will cease to display their unholy joy." It was not known hero, until this man Garrett, of the New York World seems to have found it out?and it is not known yet?that to be a "mill works r" carries with it any opprobrium or dishonor. It is not known here just what Clarrett means by a "hill-billy," though it must be a pretty common animal, if there were 102,000 of them who voted in South Carolina two years ago. As "negro-haters," exactly what proportion of that 102,000 is meant to be Included in that classification, by Garrett, of course is not known, but it is not common that one is observed in South Carolina?not nearly so common as in some other parts of the country beyond the old Mason and Dixon line. Nor is it understood here just exactly how Garrett knows" the political opinions and proclivities of the less than a score, as he fixed it. in one of his articles, of men who participated in the lynching. Certain it is that such reflections upon' the people of South Carolina are neither 'pertinent to an "investigation" of a lynching, nor do they in any wise help the cause of justice, it is pointed out. With reference to the Aiken uffuii. Senator Mease earlier in the day h authorized the following statemcn"I was requested on several una sions for interviews in reference the death of the bowman* in Aiki * 1 stated that I knew absolute', nothing about it, except what 1 ha i seen in the newspapers, and that 1 could not give any intelligent inte1 view with regard to the matter unt I had first-hand information." Therefore 1 declined to comment either w a y. "Hut when 1 saw that certain par tits were endeavoring to increas: their fortunes by using the relativeof the tiead negroes to the detriment of the county of Aiken, I thought if my duty to seek to thwart them in their efforts, as well as to seek : protect the taxpayers of Aiken, large majority of whom have nlwa\hceii my very close personal an political friend.*. "1 think it was a serious error t -end a special judge to hold th::' teim of court, and mole especially Spartanburg lawyer, in view of th i;n'< that the defendants* assistant to negro lawyer was a white man o' >p.utanluirg. It made a had impte n ?.n the mind of the ordinary m r t-poiially sending a man to h > he enurt who had just been defen' !->: the state senate in his counts. "As to the criminal prosecution, will uiVjift developments before 1 shall (x press any opinion, but thi names of parties have been mentioned who 1 do not believe had one thin,; to do with it; and I can't see how an> one can accept the testimony of buc\ M ooney upon which to base a prosecution, even in the most unfair court. The New York World's story goes on to eay that "seyerrtl men of Aiken county, who know ao much about the lynchings of the three Lowma-i negroes that they . insist positively neither Sheriff Robinson nor Governor's Constable Hart was involved, have talked to Edgar A. Brown about retaining him as their counsel against the day when they may be prosecuted for the murders?' and that "Mr. Brown is a lawyer of Barnwell, a Uiwn in the county pf the same name which bears a scarcely more savory repute than has Aiken, county since the lynchings. . . The lawyer said today that the men who have spoken to him about representing them in the event they are prosecuted for the Lowman lynchings are not those whose names he recalls having seen mentioned in the affidavits published by The World," says The Worl 1, through its staff correspondent. ?Jno.

The November meeting of the Lugoff Home Demonstration elub was held at the school house with a number of members present and two associate members, Mrs. Oliver .Jones and Mrs. P. M. Jordan. The elub had as visitors Mrs. Barnwell Clarkson and Mrs. J. H., S. Clarkson und from Camden, Mrs. Eben MeLeod with her little daughter, Frances, who had kindly consented to be used to demonstrate the good points of a well nourished child. After roll call and a short business seftaion Miss Alma Burgess, our county agent, reviewed the work for October and took up that for November, making a good talk on nutrition and pointing out the value of a well balanced diet, containing plenty of milk, fresh vegetables und fruit. Miss Minnie Floyd, nutrition specialist from Winthrop college, who is $ent out to meet club leaders in seven counties, had met with leaders from Charlotte Thompson, Midway, Lugoff and Cantey Hill clubs just before our meeting at Lugoff and her careful preparation and instruction of agent and leaders was shown in Miss Burgess* talk to the Lugoff club. Linwood Ware, 22, at Bridgeton, N. J., on Monday murdered his aur.t and uncle and seriously wounded his i 0 sister. The boy is said to have a feeble mind and his father was preparing to commit him to an asylum. The uncle and aunt were to have left Bridgeton Tuesday to winter in Florida. Dr. Frank Crane Says: Consider The Background Behind every mind is u background. Behind every overt deed and spoken word flow a mass of feelings, impulses, and ideas from which these concrete things are chosen. Men are hanged and otherwise punished for the actual deeds they accomplish; a more just method of judging humanity would be to take into consideration the whole back ground. Nobody can do this but the God who made men, and hence it is said that His thoughts are not as our thoughts. And that is the reason why perfect justice can be meted out only at the judgment seat on the last day. W hat a strange region is this backjgiound of one's self! There flow i .shut strange ghost faces and ini.v-ate deeds! What gusts of feeling, . hat streams of tendency, what lurk. ng, buried seeds of hereditament! A certain part of us is known * : 'he world and we consider that pait ; > be ourst Ives, but behind this there | - another part, out of which the vis. ihle is created. Wild and satyr like lusts, holy long; ings. prickiings of conscience, ^onds j <>f obligation, remorseful faces from j the past, rosy plans for the future all mingle in the strange phantasmagoria behind the soul. Greater than any music that Wagner ever composed is the music that he dreamed, but roll Id not express Greater than any speech that a gifted orator has made are the speeches he thought of, but never made. Greater than any love which a man has expressed is that reservior of love withI, ' m him that has never been nolo to find expression, i If we would know a man througli :;n i through, therefore, we must not only know what he thinks and says ; overtly, but we must bore through the j crust of this H)to thos^P wells of feeling which have never eome to the | surface. Probably the background of any ' saint is as had as that of any sinner, and possibly the background of a murderer might be as pure and holy i as that of any of us. j As Burns has said: "What's done we partly may com| pute, "But know not what's resisted."

LAURENS T. MILLS CWrit. PRISONER# TREATED TOO WELL t *. ? I Ml J UoubmmI Story Oomci Prom North Carolina County. Washington, N. G\, Nov. 25?Prisoners on the county chalngang re ceive such tine treatment while in custody of the officers that they cry with j'egrot when their term of confinement expires. Some of them ae-? tually beg to be allowed to remain on the gang u little while longer. This information was revealed in the report made this morning by the grand jury to Judge R. A. Nunn, who is presiding over the November term of superior court. The jury visited the chain gang and their comment of what they found was as follows: "We have visited the county chaingang as a committee and found everything in good shape. The mules arc well kept and are in good condition. The prisoners are, in mo it cases, sorry to see the expiration of their sentences. Therefore, we be- j lieve, that they are being treated too I good." Probably this is the first time in the history of North Carolina that a i grand jury has brought in suf'h a re- . port. Whether the prisoners enjoy j their penal servitude because of the edict recently enforced with respect to the wearing of nightshirts was not brought out in the report. The fact remains however, that many of the prisoners are genuinely sorry when their time is up and that in some in- j stances they have asked to be allow-1 ed to stay with the gang just a little longer.
