tc
(Concluded From Last Week)
Now, .Mr. Foreman and gentlemen,' th
I am glad that I find here that condi-: te
lions are in such good shape. This ; pi
e rforcement of the law is the very: ta
foundation of our life. That is why e<
v. e went to war with Germany. We cl

jr* the world except to enforce the law. j G
Germany said to us, "We are going'cto
sink any ships that come into this 1 w
zone of over a thousand miles." We ! <?<
said, "It is a public highway and if j cc
sink our ships and kill our people, j ?*
you will have us to whip." fhey wen' tc
head and sank our ships ??nd killed vi
o ir people and we went to war. There ai
are men in my county and in even-! H
county I have been in, that make it (to
dangerous for a man to ride on a pub- m
lie highway. When they get m their ; he
car on the public highway, they think i to
everybody else must get out of the J di
way, and people are being killed every
day in South Carolina by the reck-1 gi
less driving of automobiles on the pub- j th
lie highway. The spirit of lawless- i \ i
r.ess and disregard for your life and CI
the lives of others. That is what? I _
am talking about. We ha'.e got all
'.he law here that we want, I think. ri.
All that we need is men?men that j Pi
will enforce the law. It is not any I ,(
theory that I am talking about. What c
are you going to do about it? Are
you going to stay off the road because j "
you let these people run rough-shod te
oer everybody? What ar?- you go- tc
Lig to do about it? You built these
good roads and have a public highJfL
way, and the better roads you get. the Ja
faster they run. Isn't it so? Go a
down here on the Concord road and *" z
you had better stay mighty safe 01. (one
side of the road or get out in the >x
field. Now, Mr. Foreman, will you he
* *- ? * st
have the roaas so rouge uuti \ vu ia..-.
not run fast, or will you get out in | it
the field ? You are going to do neith-1 s0
or. If they break the law and you sec lo
it, don't hestitatc to come up and say 1 se
so, and if they won't stop, then make
the punishment more severe. I do not nk
know that there is ?-ery much differ- J tf<
ence between a man killing you with si1
a shot gun and an autotmobile. I th
<lon*t supDose it makes very much dif-1 he
ference to you. Some people thfnk fit
that because they run over you with
an autombile it is an accident. No hi
accident at all. That is a violation I pi
of the law, and if he does it through 01
carelessness, that is manslaughter, and c1.
the chain gang is the place for him. i di
So, now, Mr. Foreman, if you are go- aing
to have good roads in this county. >'<
let's make those people be decent, so {>'<
that you can go there in safety to hs
yourself and your family. As I say, h;
that is not any theory. There is no
use for us to permit any .such condition
as that to continue. Etemal vig-! yf
ilance is the price of liberty and it is I
the price of good government, so is w
the price of everything else that is f hi
worm wniie. , ?
Now, Mr. Foreman and gentlemen, th
I spoke of good roads. That is a par* ! I
of your work too. You are not going 1 th
jLe to interfere with the work of the sup-.ai
ervisor, but if there are any condi-. I*
tions that are so bad, you report it g<
to the court, and if there are such con-1 v?
ditions, then the solicitor will hand d<
out an indictment against him. Now,' in
on the suoject of good roads I will not
not take up your time to discuss ex- tl
cept to say this: Everybody knowns ju
that the value of your property de- w
pends upon its accessibility to mar- sj
lcet. The richest land in the world in
is no good unless you c$n get your n<
products to market I think that is a;
one reason why tliere is such a trend w
of the population from the country ec
to the city; because there is such an hi
unsuitable condition of the roads , and g<
it you will examine, Mr. Foreman, the tl
last report of the United States Cen- n<
sus, you will find that the city popu-1 tc
lation has grown very much faster: in
than the rural population, and thetl
reason is that the people in the coun-1 al
try are leaving the coir. ry and going, a
to town. That is a vary serious prob- s<
lem?the trend of the past thirty ti
years of ihe people from the country j g
to the town, and if that condition con- ft
tinues thirty years more, what will y<
r^. become of our nation. Now, we need le
eo agument to know that when you m
1 turn your property over to a tenant H
l A your property is going down. Sup- it
rh pose your whole land becomes im- k
?R* p^verished that way. So This ques- c;

Now, Mr. Foreman, and gentlemen, js 1
lere is one subject that it is for the p<,s

ant to know the condition of the talc

a into it at any length. I don't know the
iat I can add anything that you do sav

i impress upon you its paramount ers
nportance. You know that is one of cen
le things that is worih thinking tea

y are now teaching are not fit to teach.

So, Mr. Foreman and gentlemen,
>f right at the bottom of our education

' first thing they want to economize

I told the Grand Jury over at
0 Sumter the other day an incident that
I read in the paper. There were three
farmers in Kentucky. They bought
lt a good stallion. Then got a veterinary
surgeon to take care of that
's horse. Well, that is good judgement.
1 They paid this veterinary surgeon
,r $-2700.00 a year to take care of that
1 horse. The next week it became
* necessary for them to hire a school
teacher. They hired a little girl for

y what a horse was worth to l. business

" you say this is an etxreme case, but
" i people in your county, if not in your

10 counties have done the same thing.

body teach the children, they get the
lt cheapest little girl they can. Now,
! .Mr. Foreman and gentlemen, let's
a. get cur .'deas in line. It is all right
1S for us to have good horses, but the
e greatest possession we have in our

TO SOLVE RACE PROBLEM.
Worked Out on a Basis of Cooperation
and Sympathy.
Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tusjkegee
institute, addressing an audience
of white people and negroes recently
at Charlotte, N. C., predicted
that the race problem is going to be
worked out here in the south, and
that on a basis of understanding, cooperation,
sympathy and good will.
"Already a new spirit of good wili
and sympathy between the races has
made its appearance, said the negro
leader.
"There may be some who believe
that the problem can be settled by
each of the two races working separately
and at cross purposes, but I
do not believe that it can be done that
way," said Dr. Moton, and added:
"The south is studying itself in the
mirror of public opinion. Especially
is this true in the matter of race
relations. And a just and satisfying
settlement of this question is not
I far distant when the boutn Degins
to find fault with itself and correct
these faults according to its findings.
This self-criticism is manifested in the
efforts for cooperation between the
races, and it has given birth to a new
spirit of good will and sympathy between
them.
"There may be a better way to
work out this problem than the one
which is founded upon mutual trust,
confidence and good will between the
races, but I have not discovered it."
"We should thank our God every
oay for placing our race alongside
that of the whites," declared Dr. R.
R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute
in an address before an
i audience o*" 2,500 at Greenville Monday
night. He asserted that the negro
is indebted to the white people for his
language, hi? religion and countless
ether things; that the negro race got
1 more out of slavery than the whites.
He appealed to the negroes to rci
lain in the south and work out their
destiny in full cooperation with the
white people.
school, we won't have this disgracetwenty
years from today.
Now, Mr. Foreman and gentlemen,
I have tilked longer than I expected
to, and I don't know that there is an>
use for me to say anything more, but
, we have a great country here and it is
our country?it belongs to us. Wo
! expect to live here the balance of our
| lives and epect most of oim children
to live here. Then, why not have a
11 ood government. Why not let's have
a decent place to live and raise our
I children. When our nation went to
! war?you remember it?every man,
I woman and child turned out and gladly
did whatever was required of them
J to win the war. When they said the}
I didn't have enough wheat to feed our
soldiers over yonder, we ate corn
j I read. Shall we now, Mr. Foreman,
forget our patriotism and allow the
lawless to run the country, wh?f:.
we went and made every sacrifice for
j the enforcement of law three thous;a:id
miles from here. So, then. I urge
I ui on you, let's turn to our duty with
j'.he same love of country that we exi
hibited when we were called upon to
| defend our nation and enforce the laws
| of the world.
Now the duty that you are to peri

It pay yi ur expenses. The work that
you are to do this year is a work
of love for your county. Now, I
mean to congratulate you upon good
government now. I have made some
little investigations, and I am delighted
at the conditions here. They say
that this is a heavy docket That is
not a heavy docket. There is not a
case on the docket for taking a human
L'fe. I held court last fall in a county
in which there were twenty persons
indicted for murder, and I spent
two weeks in the trial of one little
rase. The absolute disregard of hu
man life seems to permeate the atmo>phere.
I hope that you and your people
may continue on this good record
and that you will not stai-i the
records of your county in the sheading
of human blood. It is a good
record. I commend you for it and I
hope you will keep it up.

his gaze toward the judge. He appeared
