The hoy, in the fii'jjt. place, really confessed 'the ciim . ' It is rather disappointinjr he" ever that the jury did not rOcolnniend mercy and thereby save the younj; fellow-from the chair. Robert Ashley is just ooe -v of many in the state that hasn't' had a chance. We believe with _ ' . , one of his Attorney's who in his argument to "the jury pleading for a life sentence, said that South South Carolina was to blame for A*hlvhr's r^ghf.?and?Corporal Byrd's death. We do not think however the blame of the State is simply because of a lack of an intelllgCfit penal system, but rather the failure, to employ the one . it ,has. What right, in the first | place, was Ashley in the penitentiary? He was first placed there fur a crime not extremely vicious. At the time he was only 14 years of age. And yet the law provides that Negro boys of that age should be ,cd?ifined or placed in the Re iormatoiy maintained in Lexing. ton County. .Had Ashley been dealt with according to the law made .and provided he would ill "Be in that Reformatory receiving such training as is there given. Instead of that, South Carolina disregarded her own law and put that little boy in the penitentiary for a definite term and when that term expired, he was discharged, the same as matured prisoners. The State failed him?did not do i*s duty, disregarded its own provisons, and now will take his life. The youth was_subjected to -a irrentah exttfYiihaTion ~by f>r. Kershaw Wal^h, noi1 of Psychol" ogy at the University of South Carolina. He testified that the bdv had the mentality and judgment of a Vhild- of 10 years, nor could he discriminate betwfeen r ight and wrongs to a normal degree. But none of these things n. i 1 T?

One big thing th&t blinds the eyes of so j many of our would-be leaders is they seem to dwell on theories, j .let ns deal with, facta foi awhile nothing but unvarnished facts. \ -Bet's go back a bit and then come ~ forward carefully, noteing t Jj- e j facts as we come. Around 75 years j -day?in state and church L\vas slavery. This.question finally ? spilt state and church wide open. The | Methodist Episcopal Church then i covered the country. The northern part of the memborahip took the?i side against slavery?the southern ; a stronghold for it. A great war came to settle the question. The south?church and state left the north. Millions of dollars Were spent, gallons of blood were spilt. ' Thousands of lives. were given.. During this struggle the Methodist Episcopal " Church took the lead | on the side of the eolored man. It is said that more Union soldiers were enlisted and fought and died for the liberty of the colored man than from any other denomination After the war, the northern church | fell in, begsyi to send labors and money down south to civilize and Christianize. Strange but true the Southern M&hodist lived side by -ide with tnfe ex-slave did many things to give them astart, but took but veijy little interest i n the developing' bf the mind and - -soul a:i a denomination. ' But the Methodist Church north from the end of slavery up through 'the years, as played a wonderful part towards the colored brother. Not one time has she shown a disposition to betray him. Now the colored brother as shown many times that he is full of race prejudice. Some try to show the white part of the Church as having race pre I judice. But when you think of what a small minority the colored membership is?and then think of how liberal the great big. white majority has been from every an- i gle?you must concede surely love for the cause must have been the < guiding star. Now the only -grounds that "Hie colored man could ask for anything outstand- I ing in the church was based on i race prejudice arid segregation plans and simple. It was not race i prejudice that promoted the colored members to want colored P. K's., colored pastors for those districts and congregations where the colore^ were far and sometitle wiholely in the majority? < then on to the schools supported ' _ Jiy_lhe-church; then to general-offi ceils and then to Bishop. I say if race prejudice and segregation wcrti not at the bottom of all of these demands in the name of heaven what was it. | In fact that is all the Negro has ever had in the church or out as far Us that matters. Take the "contention when first made at the Gemmrt Conference for a-colored bishop. There the colored represented a small fraction of the great church and a smaller faction of the" brain and wealth?and < yet they were asking that one of their number be promoted over the heads of hundreds who were present, an(j just as deserving, just as competent, just as loyal, whose i records for church service render i ed was just as brilliant; who in ev- . cry way would have been an horn- i or to the cause?to one of t h e 1 highest places held by churchmen 1 for it is conceded that no church- i man of any kind in this country 1 stands higher than a Methodist E- : piseopal Bishop. The fight was1 ...made,.race prejudice-and ncgrega" -! tion on the part of the colored delegates won out. Now some may J try to defend the demand on the < grounds of race pride; but wait ? a minute. Wlty should we expect the white members to fan race I pride as!etrp==and~forget about it v/hen it comes to their own race? J i If we boil it down to Negro for I Negro or Negro for the sake of Negro then why not write for whites and let the majority vote < to carry the thing? Ah! Race TiFe 1 judice and segregation are holy, < when Negroes are segregating whites out of jobs that pay well, but it becomes so horrid wheni it 1 appears that whites are trying to 1 segregate colored.
