Feed STARTENA ; I I and see tha Difference / Whitaker & Co. Phone 4 Camden, S. C. ( ONE COLORED MAN'S VIEW Senator J. H. Bankhead, of Ala bauia. read to the Senate lust Wednesday n letter which he had received from Kobert Davis, a colored man wtm Is now living In St. Douls. The letter Is of general Interest for the views expressed and of particular interest In South Carolina for the reference to Governor LI. M. Miller, of Alabama, of South Carolina ancestry. Governor Miller Is a graduate of Krakino college. The letter gives the view of l>avis on the proposed Fednral unlilynehing hill. The tlrst two paragraphs follow. Senator Bankhead, Washington, I) C. Honorable Sir: Please submit this letter to he read to the Senate, as I want them to know how I feel toward this ant (lynching bill. I know and care little about politics, yet i cannot escape reading about ibis bill, ami 1 sympathize with a sensible light being waged against this unnecessary legislation. Thirty-seven years ago 1 was horn on Judge B M. Miller's plantation In Alabama He was the first white man I ever knew and was one of the whitest Iff"' Later became Governor of Alabama, at which time I had wan I Bill II II , SaMPWWgBW II I'"' I dered off to Bt. lx>UU. Tho happiest moments of my lift* were* spent lu tho South. 1 received till of the education I have there. The South In the only plousynt memory In my life, u ltd ^ am always ready to defend It. There's nothing there to condemn. 1 am against the antl-lynching bill. It's unnecessary. The white people of the South don't want lynching, and they are capable of handling the situation. All the unpleasant experiences that are accorded the uegro In the South are brought on by himself. About 76 per cent,of the colored population of the South are high-plM*. cultured people. About the same per cent of theee of the North are good for nothing. Why? The white nan of the Soyth caters greatly to and demands resepctful negroes. The white man of the South lores our white teeth, our kinky hair, oar in* telllgence or ignorance, but will not tolerate dlsrespeotfulness. This helps our race. We could use a little respect lu the North. But the white man of the North wants only votes. Dayls, the writer of the letter, Is no longer a resident of Alabama. He bus no axe to grind nor any favor to ask. In fact, he tells Senator Bunkhead further on In the letter that ho votoH the Republican ticket. Ho lives In St. Louis where conditions are different from those of the Deep South. There Ih a postscript to the letter from this colored unlive of Alabama who opposes any Federal anti-lyuch-1 lna law and here it is: IV S.?1 desire no publicity; this letter is only a token of my rospoct and love of the South, and to show those northern vote seekers the relationship of the Hane Negroes of the South with the white people. No ono knows of this letter. No one urged me to write. Nothing whutever Is wanted or will be accepted for it. Remember, the South does not approve lynching. The South Abhors lynching Our legislators, however, should do something more substantial to uphold our Senators In Washington than tho adoption of resolutions. This is a situation which docs not call for child's play. Greenwood Index-Journal. Too Much Curiosity Rotan, Texas.?Finding a small object.

The gentleman's nam* Is deleted for obvious reasons: Dear Publisher: An Itemised report from the State Highway Department covering expenditures for legal advertising notices In connection with construction bids, as submitted to the general assembly last week, discloses that the aum of $31,228.93 was spent for this purpose during the last four yeara. Thla advertising has not been distributed equltsbly to all of the newspapers In tho state, but was confined to a small group of dallies In the larger cities. 1 feel that every newspaper In South Carolina |ls untitled to share in any and all such advertising as may be placed from time to time by the State Highway Department. Certainly all of the newspapers pay taxes, and If any state commission or bureau has money to spend for adver-1 Using purposes, it should be handled on an equltable~T)ABl8. All of the newspapers of the state are coutrtbui-1 lug commendable service to their respective communities and the statu as a whole, and none should be discriminated against or forgotten when any department bus business which might be placed with them. You will be Interested In knowing that I have Introduced a bill in the general assembly which requires the State Highway Department to run Its legal advertisements In every newspaper In South Carolina. By limiting the Hize of tho advertisement for each letting, it will bo possible to Insert these notices in every newspaper in the state at a total cost under the present expenditures, which is desirable and at the same time all of the ' \ publishers will share in the business. If you feel that such legislation is desirable, 1 would be very glad to hear from you. You may want to contact members of your county delegation In behalf of this bill or comment upon it in the columns of your newspaper. I hope to have a hearing on the bill when it reaches committee and will be very glad to have you attend this hearing, or mail me your views on the subject. Yours sincerely, " Columbia, S. C\, February 8, 1938. Come on Let's Lynch 8outh Carolina It is reliably reported that the state senate is going to pass the 40 hour bill. Claiming to be the friend of labor they are going gaily ahead with the measure. It Is certain of being signed by our irrespresslble governor If passed. Who is going to be helped? Labor? It means that the man( or woman) who has a fchance to make a little extra money through "over time" cannot do so any more without violating the law. It means that if the mill where labor works happens to have a big order that must be gotten out on a certain schedule cannot ask (and pay) its operatives for working more than ten hour shifts; it is a violation of the law It means putting the shackles on both the operatives and the mill management, and preventing the one from making extra money and the other from paying its people more for their services Further it means that it puts the mills of this state at a disadvantage with the mills of North Carolina and Georgia which are left free by their laws to work over time if orders necessitate so doing. South Carolina industry is handcuffed by laws and taxes to the limit of Its endurance as matters stand today If the members of the aehate wish to see the mills of the state stand idle and its operatives go on relief, while sister staten reap the benefit, they will pass the 40 hour measure If, in their lust for votes next fall, they are willing to prostitute the greatest industry that their state has. and the one that directly and indirectly pays more than three-quarters of their salaries they will pass this law. And It is to be hoped that in years to come they will see the ruin they have wrought and be made to pay the price of their own selfishness. ?
