Persecution of the Jews.

The Dreyfus case unconsciously
draws attention to the great anti
Semetic crusade that is in progress IN
continental Europe. Dreyfus is a jew
and the accident of birth has been q
deep misfortune to him. Had he been
pure French blood. il is entirely safe
to say that he would have escaped the
horrors Of the past five years. and the
future would look less dark to him.
He is victim of one of the deepest OF
race prejudices.
In this country, we know little OF
nothing of the Jewish problem We
have troubles enough with the negro
question, heaven knows, but thus far
the jew has engaged our attention and
our animosity but little. In some large
cities, particularly New York, the jew
has become a powerful factor. I'm
portant branches of business are al
most monopolized by him. The whole
sale dry goods section on Broadway
knows few signs but those Of Jews.
But taking the country all over, the
''children Of Israel form so small a
proportion fthe whole population that
their influence for good or evil is
scarcely noted There are less than
half million in the United States out
Of total Of 100000 600. In Austria
Hungary the Jews number 1000, 900 in
a population OF less than 10000. 600.
This alone will suffice to show why the
matter engages so little notice here,
comparatively. Other reasons, too.
will appear as we continue.
There are many characteristics in
the jew that invite ill-usage from peo-
pie OF other blood and race. They are
certainly a peculiar people They
pride themselves on il and that makes
il worse. Jews. wherever located, are
elannish. They hold themselves alOof.
socially, from the rest Of the world.
They seldom intermarry and the result
Is a sharpening Of their peculiarities
which would be rounded. enlarged and,
IN time. might wholly disappear under
ldmixture with other races. In relig-
on, they are orthodox and bigoted. |

OF course the jew understands that
the Christian world has little respect
for history and religion-both of which
he is very proud Of Christianity has
viewed the persecution of the jew
with unusual complacency, deeming it
retribution for the Jewish persecution
and martyrdom OF the Savior and the
apostles. We believe that this has
very little TO do, however, with anti
Semetism. Those who persecute the
Jews are not moved with a desire to
visit upon them the sins of their fa-
theirs, but to punish them for outstrip-
ping themselves in the race
If, as time goes on, we in this coun-
try should see the bulk of the wealth
and the power gathered in by what we
look upon as an alien people, whom
we respect no more than we do the
Jews, il is possible that our sense of
liberty and right might be overpowered
by our feelings of desperation and
jealousy and the same scenes be en-
acted here that we witness constantly
in European countries, but after all |
this is hardly probable. The Yankee
is considerable Of a fellow himself at a
trade and he has not yet found his
match in the jew. If he does. we

RchIaud Denies the wild Reports About
Smallpox.
On last Friday, just after we had
mailed the last issue of the Banner, we
heard that many false rumors we're
being circulated in the surrounding
country about the existence of smallpox
that there we're as many as three hun
dred cases here, and that five or six
deaths day occurred from the disease.
Also that if person came here from
some other place he would not be allow
ed to leave town.
We are at loss to know how such
malicious falsehoods originated, but to
learn that they are falsehooods you hay Q
only to write to any citizen of the town.
While it is fact that many country
people have not at all hesitated to come
here at all times, such tales are calcu>
lated to frighteu those who do not knC W
the true situation.
If some doctors have pronounced the
disease here smallpox it has not made 1t
any worse than in many other sections
where it was pronounced not smallpox.
No one here has died with the disease,
but few have had to call in doctor, and
a great many never quit their regular
labor.
The town authorities have had all
cases in the tOwp isolated and the
whole town Yaccinated, and do not allow
those who are ex posed 10 it in their fam
lilies to circulate over town. Thus the
spread of the disease has been stopped,
only two cases having been reported in
about week. -Rlchland Banner.

NO COMPULSORY VACCINATION
DAWSONIANS NEED NOT BARE
THEIR ARMS TO DOCTORS.
CITY Council Does Not Apprehend ANY
Danger from Smallpox. Only
One Case in the County.

One Case in the County.
TIE city council met Monday morning,
pursuant to adjournment, to consider
the OF dinapce introduced at previous
meeting to compel compulsory vaccina-
ton.
The ordinance was read and by vote
of four to three was tabled, Aldermen
Deubler, Jennings, McNulty and Low
rey voting for the motion to table and
Mayor Cheatham and Aldermen Dean
and Nasworthy against it,. This leaves
the citizens of Dawson free to be vacci-
mated or not, as they may choose.
The couacil did not seem to appre~
bend any danger from the disease, and
there was some talk during the meeting
of lifting the quarantine now in force
against infected districts.
The only case of the disease in the
county, that of Mr.. W. S. Jordan, who
recently moved from Richland to Bron-
wood, is isolated, and there is but little
if any chance for the disease to spread
All of the Jordan family except the pa
tient has been sent away, ana he is now
rapidly recovering aud promises to be
well again in few days.
Ordinary Roberts, in response to let
ter, has received two hundred vaccine
points from the governor and distribute
ed them among the physicians of the
county.
The council of Parrott has passed a
compulsory vaccination ordinance, and
everybody in that town has been vacci.
mated.
The excitement has abated, and there
is now but little if any apprehension on
the part of the people of any section OF
the county.
