Are We Afraid OF the North d?

The war has been over for twenty years, and
1t seems to be time for South Carolina to take
n proud place among the States, the equal OF
my other State. We think the time has pass
ed, II it ever existed. when it Is necessary to
express any fear that the North may find out
the real condition Of affairs down South. we
do not think any one would Intentionally
conceal any facts, but 1t really seems TO us
that there is Il patriotic disposition on the
part Of some journalists In the South TO ma
lign any journal which may seek for a better
enforcement Of the laws, even though our
laws may be rs fcarlcSSly enforced as are the
laws In my State. Why this objection TO a
higher tandard of morals and government?
Is It that popularity may be gained: The
newspapers that would seem to tic excessive
" patriotic arc satisfied If we compare notes
with the Northern States as to the enforce
1nent OF the criminal laws. while the laNity
OF morals in the Northern States seems to be
n matter which they would ut other times
roll as n sweet morsel under their tongues.
Another objection TO the speaking out for Il
better enforcement Of the law is brought out
I'm reference to immigration. 1t Is urged thai
Immigrants will not come, II We speak out
about these matters. For our own part, the
imml.rants ore welcome tostay away, ifthcy
cannot come under a full knowledge OF all the
facts. We would prefer that thetaNablc prop
crty OF South Carolina should remain as 1t Is,
in the hands OF our own people, than to trans
fer 1t to strangers aud have it assessed Mt any
price, 10 matter how high. South Carolina
belongs to us and to our children, and we
have no desire to transfer II to strangers.
We think 1t about time for those who may
he disposed TO conceal crime, or to assert that
the law Is enforced, to give some facts, and
show wherein the law has been enforced for
l,omicides. 4 knowledge Of the fact that
homicides have becu committed is not want
ing. Now, let those who may seek n little
cheap no,orieey by defending murdcrcrs or in
nssaillng the members Of the press who desire
a restoration OF law and order give some facts
OF convictions for murder. These are not
questions of sentiment, but are matters OF
public record, about which there should be no
dispute as to facts. If the law has been Ell.
forced in any county of South Carolina. let us
have the facts, as to the killings and tho hang.
ings. We can give the particulars for Able
Vile county.
