THURSDAY.. JULY. 24TH.,. 1919. Is the Poison at Work? The deplorable tragedy at Denmark Thursday evening may be the direct result of the insidious poison con tained in the inflammatory articles published in the Baltimore negro newspaper (?

A great deal has been said recently of Bolshevist and anarchist propagan da among the Southern negroes, and some over-confident persons have scoffed at the idea. But here we have it in its very worst form. It is un doubtedly a fact, a fact that calls for prompt and intelligent action by good citizens everywhere. If there is no way to stop the spread of such pro paganda, something must be done to offset and overcome the poison it is infusing wherever the inflammatory sheet circulates. The leaders among the negroes, those with reason enough to sense and appreciate the danger that lurks in waiting for their race if converts are made to the vicious teach ing of the paper they are reading, can use their good offices to advise their people against playing with fire, and their aid r.tid co-operation should be enlisted. But that is not of itself suf- fiicient. * The negroes in every com munity who receive and read the Bal- | timore paper, and are doubtless < preaching its doctrine to those about them, should be known to their White neighbors, and watched. There arc ample ways to ascertain who they are, and vigilance may be the price of law and order as it it the price of free- I dom. > — ( rime Rerooilng Alarming. TV wave of crime that has been j sweeping over Soath Carolina for tb-* dale County Citizen, says that comment will be made as to the quan tity and quality of work produced by' the gimg.** Possibly the condition of the roads in Allendale County, like those in Barnwell County, make any comment seem superfluous.' “The Barnwell People and The Al lendale County Citizen have agreed to publish a comic supplement on the next Barnwell-Allendale baseball game.”—Allendale County Citizen. But, Cliff, have you enough green ink to do full justice to the pink shirt worn by Allendale's star “rooter”? About 50 Allendale sportsmen have organized r. gun club. Remember the pleasant afternoons and keen friend ly rivalry during the existence of the Barnwell gun club? Attomey General Palmmer says that prohibition is being enforced ef fectively -throughout the country. Mebbe so, mebbe so. Life last week was just one shower after another.

The danger thaty lies in the spread of such poison is assuredly cbvious to all law-abiding citizens, and should be equally as ob vious to the negroes as to the white people of the State. It is propaganda of the very worst sort, and since it has become known that such a paper is being received, and doubtless eag erly read, by negroes in this part of the country, some intelligent action should be taken to prevent trouble be fore it comes. The Record has not seen a copy of. the paper and cannot, therefore, judge of its contents, that is to say whether the matter it contains is of such a nature as might debar the publi cation from the mails. Technically, we suppose, the editor keeps within the law’. But we can take Solicitor Blackwell's word for it that the arti cles to whic h he has called attention are of such a nature as to breed dis content among the negroes who read ; it and to inflame them against the , whites. That being the case, the pos tal authorities should not permit the paper in the mails, and they could j possibly And sufficient grounds in the postal regulations to debar it if they j were inclined to take precautionary , measures against the mischief that wiR be made if week after week this !

The Allendale County Citizen is patting itself on the back because of the many well-deserved compliments being handed to that neftsy publica tion. If all the weekly newspapers in the State were accorded the same ex cellent “backing” that the Citizen en joys their publishers would have great er incentives to work. “A chain is no stronger than its weakest link” and by the same token a newspaper- is no better than the town in which it is published. Unfortunately for many papers they are published in towns where the merchants view advertis ing much as the Arkansan did a roof for his home—when it rained ht couldn't repair it and when it wasn't raining the roof didst need it.
