SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year ft 50 Six Months - *90 Sferee Months — r50 (Strictly in AdTaaee.) THURSDAY, JUNE 27TH, 1929. Introducing Gee McGee. The People-Sentinel takes pleasure in announcing this week the addition of a new feature, which appears unw. der the caption, “Nobody’s Business.” It is written by a native &outh Caro linian, W. Frank .McGee, whose pen name is “Gee McGee.” In spite of physical handicaps suffered, while only 11 years of age, in a cottoiv gin fire, Mr. McGee has risen slowly but surely to a commanding position in the busi ness life of his home town—Anderson —and he writes his newspaper articles for the fun that he gets out of it. Endowed with a keen sense of humor and a wholesome philosophy, his comment on current events is spicy and entertaining and we feel sure that our readers will look forward with keen anticipation to his weekly column irv this paper. but apotogiiad for giving them six months each, and then* turned to the case of a poor half-etarving wretch who had stolen a small sack of flour, sending him to the penitentiary for 14 months. We have become so inured to this BQit of justice (?), that we were only mildly shocked when court sent to the penitentiary for 18 months two lads who admitted the theft of two second-hard Ford tires. How un certain is justice! “We have been so busy with our in dividual problems arid interests, we have lost the feeling of brotherhood, and have become immune to individual wrongs or itdlividuali needs. Only mass injustice or mass suffering arouses us to action. “I am not an alarmist, and certain ly no Bolshevist, but I am convinced that unless thinking men and women begin to disregard their personal financial interests and speak out against injustice in whats'er form it appears, we might es well join the ranks of those wh > win uncertain justice with fists, brie* bat* ard saw ed-off shotguns.” Strong language, to be sure, but there is no denying its truth. The many miscarriages of justice in South Carolina and ebjwhere have led to a woeful lack of resptfor the coui ts. • r.. The Last Fern Wrinkles SUMMONS FOB RELIEF^ r/h First Melons Shipped. A Whale of a Difference. In a postscript to his daily epistle to the newspapers, Will Rogers, al leged humorist, wrote as follows Wed nesday of last week: “Who I entertain is my business. Who Mrs. Hoover entertains is her business.” Of course, Roger* knows, or should know, that there is all the difference in the world as to who he (Rogers) entertains in his capacity as a private citisen and who Mrs. Hooter enter tains as the wife of the President of the United States. Personally, we don't care a tinker's dam if Rogers gives a houae party for every “nigger” in Chicago's black belt, but we take it as a gratuitous insult to every be liever in white supremacy, North and South, East and West, when the President's wife has a negr^ woman aa a guest of honor at a White Houae function. When she retires to pri vate life (may God s|eed th < * day!) she may irdulge to her heart’s con tent whatever inclination she may have to be a negrophile and so far as we are concerned her beautiful Cali- forria home can become a Mecca for the descendant of Ham. And the clear thinking of Bishop Cannon of the Methodist Church of Virginia, seems to be as befuddled to day as it was when he led fellow Southerners away from the faith of their fathers and into the Republican fold last November. Last week, dis patches from New York disclosed the fact that the revernd Bishop had been buying and selling stocks through what is commonly known hereabouts as a “bucket shop.” Bishop Canncn is right when he says that his “private stock transactions have nothing to do with the queston of the defeat or elec tion of Alfred E. Smiih, or with the issues of Raskobism and Southern Democracy, or prohibition and lawless ness.” We will go further and agree with him that (* n the eyes of the law) it is rot “criminal, disreputable or dishonorable to buy and sell rtocks,” but many good people (prudes through they may be) regard such transac tions as a form of gambling and the spectacle of a Bishop indulgirg there in* amazes one much as does the Hoover-DePriest incident. Somehow, they just don’t seem to be quite the proper things to do when measured by good old-fashiored American stand ards, and even the Bishop’s bitterest |K>litical enemies will refuse to be lieve that he would recommend the iraying and selling of stocks to the youth of America, or the entertaining of negro women by the white hostesses of sthe nation! \ Allendale, June 20.—E.
