That BennettMville Outrage.
A young man of Bennettsville, who
had connection with an eccipade in
that town last Saturday night that
brought him into notoiiety, has
himself in a yet more unfortunate
predicament On that occasion the
newly erected Confederate monument
was struck with a pistol ball. In
reporting the affair, The State’s cor
respandent said:
It siems that young Eason, with
two chains, Robert Ricand and Ken
neth Matbeson, was having a “good
time, late Saturday night and while
on the public square fired his pistol
and the ball hit the crown of the
•tatne of the Confederate moon met.
Thu young men were 30 feet from
the monument and the pistol was
fired at random, so the story goes,
and the > ball accidentally,
so the story goes, struck the mono-
muot
Under the present law the maxi
mum floe for this offense is f 100, and
a* Eason pleaded guilty, _ (he m lyor
fixed the penalty at $7X
According to Sieu's statement he
went to our correspondent, Jennings
K. Owens, andoomplaltied that be
and Matbeson had been done an in
justice and asked him to correct it.
. »
Mr Ownes requested the incorrect
part of the report to be pointed out
offering to make the correction, or to
send this paper any statement. Ricaud
replied that it was not so much the
errors bat the insinuations, and if
they were not lonnd and corrected by
Owens be would be thrashed. When,
tbe following day, participants in the
rowdyism were “roasted” in tbe
editorial oolomns of The Ftate,
Ricaud. accompanied by Mathesoo.
sought Owens, met him on tbe street
told him he was going to thrash him
and, according to Ricaud’s statement,
was thereupon struck iu the fac) by
Mr. Owens. Perhaps in the fisticuff
that followed, Mr Owens got tbe
worst of tbe physical encounter—but
certainly not the worst of the moral
decision. Thereupon J K Matbeson
went to tbe telephonoe effioe and
telephoned a statement to be inserted
over his signature in tbe advertising
columns of this paper, saying that
Owens “was publicly whipped in
the streets today by Robert Ricand;”
Owens was approached in a fair
and open manner and whipped until
he begged to be spared The act of >1 r
Ricand is commended by tbe people
at large ”
That statement was not published;
out of Rioaud’s owa mouth it was
proved absolutely misleading and
grossly incorrect ‘ 4 Publicly whipped”
means, all over the world, whipped
with a lash or instnment of some sort
Was it “fair and open” for Mr Ownes
to be assaulted becans* these young
men were incensed about an editorial
in The State, with which Owens
had nc. thing to do? Was it “fair and
open” for two men to go after one,
when either of the two was probably
the physical snperior of tbe of the
one? We leave it to the people of
Bennettsville to determine whether
Ricaud’s act is “commended by the
people at large.”
The State devotes conspicuous at
tention to what, in itself, is a com
paratively trivial incideut, because
just beneath the surface there is an
important question involved, and
because this assault upon oar oon-
respondent is not even a veiled at
tempt to muzzle' * 1 * * * V the prea?. There
is absolutely no denial that these
young men were connected, at least by
association, in a case of rowdyism that
resalted in legaloensure The shoot*
ing of the monnment was an afftlr
of snch an extraordinary character as
to make it “news” of importance. So
the names of those in the party were
furnished The State and published
Tbe real offense in the correspondent
wss iu giving the names of the young
jnen, who considered that they
Should have immunity from exposure
What has either of them done to. de
serve immunity? Why shonld any
social or financial “pall” entitle them
to immanity from the panishment of
pablieity, when that punishment it
meted to others?
The tact that The State prints the
record of the Colombia police court
is an effective and wholesome restric
tion to many persons. Jf the system
of giving publicity to oases of minor
infractions of law by the more or lem
“respectable” element was rdopted by
every county newspaper and every
correspondent in Sooth CarMlns
there would be much less lawlessness.
The young bocks who get to “own
tbe town, ’ usually end by commit
ting mnrder. Moral cowardice is
responsible for a terrible harden
resting npon the pablic.
Both Ricand and Matbeson, laying
no stress npon the justice of their
caiise, did stress, as ii a commendable
victory for Ricand, the physical in
feriority of Owena. Will those
young men pause to consider that
there are enough hoed la ms in the
city of New York to beat to death a
much greater number of scientists,
statesmen, authors, preachers, doctors,
and lawyers? Would either of them
like to have the story ot his life’s bat
tles and achievements told in a
column parallel to that in which was
a recital of Jennings C Owens’ strug
gl« against the “slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune,” and his victory?
Bravery of spirit, strength of moral
character, and achievement over
great obstacles are credited to Mr
Owens by those that know the story
of his life since early boyhood.
