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 (? I called to the atten
tion of the law enforcement officers

Homer S Blackwell, of the Eighth

but they would bo rendering the
greatest rervicc to the negroes who
would bo deprived of' their regular
doses of poison, for, undoubtedly, as
great as would be the danger to the
unsifopecting whites in the event
trouble should suddenly occur ab any
point, the greatest danger would be
to the negroes themselves.
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.

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

suit if the circulation of such a pa- I
per among the negroes is not checked
car. only bo imagined. 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

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. When
