On the Other Side.

We 60 our ways in life TOO much alone;
We hold ourselves too far from all
our kind:
Too often we are dead to sign an"
moan:
Too aften to the weak and helpless
blind:
Too often where distress an" """'
abide "a.
We turn and pass upon the other s''c'
The other side is troddcn smooth aho
worn
By footsteps passing idly all day:
Where lies the bruised ones thaJ laiu'
and mourn
Is seldom more than an mtroddel
way.
Our selfish hearts are for our feet the
guide
They lead Us by upon the other side.
1t should be ours the oil and wine L
pour 10,
Into the bleeding wounds OF sir;cNei
To take the smittcn and the SICK an'
sore -
And bear them where a stream .
blessing runs. :.
Instead we look about-thc way ::
wide
And so we pass upon the other side.
O friend and brothers, gliding dow
the years, ;,
Humanity is calling each and all
In tender accents, born OF grief an'
tears,
l pray you, listen to the thriilin;
cali.
You cannot, in your cold and scltisI
pride,
Pass guiltlessly upon the other side.

Committed Suicide.

A dispatch from New York says
young man who was a passenger on a
Brooklyn bridge car Saturday evening
suddenly left his seat and sprang over
the bridge railing to the river below.
The body has not yet been recovered.
Those who noticed the man before he
had made the jump from the bridge
say he was apparently about p years
old and was well dressed. Policeman
Dorm was the nearest person tc him
when he jumped. Dorm saw him
alight from the car, and divining the
strangers purpose, started after him.
The stranger said: Don't you touch
me-" and then, crying out, good
bye" went over the railing into the
river. His body reappeared only
once after the plunge. A police launch
crew searched for hours without find
inc any trace Of the suicide.

4 SHOCKING CASE.
Young School Girls the Victims Of a
Lecherous Scoundrel.
TAKEN OUT AND WHIPPED WELL
Suspicion Was Aroused Because of
the Constant Visit OF School
Girl, to His Office. The
Wretch F!ecs.

Monday night crowd of white
men went to the house of J. G. Perry,
who lives with his wife and children
on Brawley street. in the Hamberg
section Of the city of Spartanburg and
surrounding the premises. demanded
to see Perry. That individual en-
deavored to escape, slipping through a
window in the rear portion Of his resi-
dence, but in the back premises he
was caught by some of the crowd, and
led off. the entire mob following. He
was led to a deep woodland about
three miles from the square OF the city
and was stripped from his head to his
waist, and men with belts of leather
administered severe castigations on his
body. His groans and cries eventually
aroused q sense of the humane, and a
pause in the punishment was the re-
suit. At this juncture Sheriff Vernon,
Chief of Police Dean and a posse arriY-
ed to the succor Of Perry. They took
him in charge, carrying him by his
home to secure some clothing he deSir
ed. He then beSought them to carry
him to the Southern depot and watch
by him until the south bound train
arrived at .26, when he would leave
Spartanburg. for good. The officers
watched by Perry until be boarded
the midnight train andhe left Vowing
that he would never put this foot in the
city again. The devilment of Perry,
for which he was whipped, was ofSuch
an incredible and enormous nature
that it is hard to conceive Of human
indulging in the same. There is not
the slightest doubt as to his guilt, for
he acknowledged that, and there was
responsible witnesses to testify to it.
The wonder is that he escaped with
his life.
Perry for two or three years past
has been running junk shop in Spar
tanburg. His wareroom is situated
near the Charleston and Western
Carolina depot, but he has an up town
office on East Main street over store OF
Trakas Bros. For some time past
several little white school girls, rang
ing in years from 13 to Is, have been
seen occasionally going up to his Office
and remaining there for some time
The regular attendance Of one of these
children grew notorious, and people
daily transacting business in that
quarter Of the city took it upon them
selves investigate the matter. The
result of their o5seryances and in,
vestigations were to the effect thai
Perry's conduct towards these little
ones was anything but right and pro
per. and his immortality was OF ths
most pronounced type. The man is a
least 40 years Of age, with a wife anc
children, and the actions of crimina
guilt were a shock to many who kne7
him when the statements began tt
spread. From a gossip of the corne
the matter was taken in hand b.
friends of one of the girls parents
and hence the reason Of the tlogging.

RebukinC Roosevelt.

We have read in northern newspa-
pers and from many prominent north
ern men severe criticism of President
Roosevelt's display of narrow Sec
tionalism in his Decoration day speech.
There are many persons in the north
who love the union and glory in the
yalor Of the men who fought for it,
but are not willing to be judged by
the presidents standard Of patriotism
in this day and generation. We have
seen no better rebuke Of the president
for his unfortunate utterances at
Arlington than we find in a leading
editorial of the Portland Oregonian,
one of the most notable newspapers on
the Pacific coast. From it we quote
these noble words:
THE time is past with thoughtful
men when on Memorial day we think
only Of the Union dead in the restrict
ed sense which refers only to those
who fell in defense Of the stars and
stripes. In the enlarged field OF
historical vision that has at last come
into our possession. we cannot Ec!p
thinking Of the dead Of both sides:
the illustrious obscure who by thous-
ands on both sides fought with equal
tenacity and equal valor. Thought
full men have learned long ago to
abstain from bitter, undiscriminatlng
denunciation OF the gerat civic and
military leaders of the Southern Con-
federacy. We know today that moth
inc but the news OF peace prevented
New England from secession in 1914.
We know that Lee and Longstreet
and Joe Johnston bore arms against
the Union not because they were
secessionists. but because blood was
thicker than water. They could not
fire upon their domestic affairs. upon
their neighbours corntieldS and their
kinsmen. We know that Lee as
strongly diSapproyed of slavery as Gid
Washington: we know that the north
was equally responsible with the south
for the planting of slavery within the
constitution and its national protec-
tion. We know that the south. II
capacity for unstinting sacrifice OF It's
best blood and treasure and endurance
of extreme hardship be the test or
earnest patriotism, was as patrlotlc
at least as the north. Many OF the
Confederate soldiers who fell IN the
last assault upon Lees lines before
Petersburg had nothing but 'gooDerS
(pearuts) in their haverSackS. Moth
| inc could excel the valOr with which
the tattered remnant Of Lees famlsh-
cd army fought up to the hour OF sur
render. When we remember ali these
things today, it is impossible not to
think Of the Confederate dead as well
as the Union dead with equal respect
if not equal gratitude"
How far are these sentiments, asks
the Atlanta Journal. from the plane
upon which President Roosevelt stood
as he waved the bloody shirt on the
heights of Arlington. For the first
time since the civil war, and when the
echo of it's last shot has beeu dead
more than thirty-six years, we have
I president Of the United States
speaking in a way that is likely to
revive sectional bitterness. 1t is
creditable to the country that it did
not admire the spectacle.

warned the bankers Of this country
that the money trust was the father
of all the trusts, but they laughed at
him. and passed resolutions endorsing
the Republican party and denounclng
Bryan and his calamity howling, as
they called it. These same bankers
now begin to realize that Bryan knew
what he was talking about. They

A WARN REPLY.

A w AIM hceA1.
To the Editor Columbia Record:
AS you have published some quota
tions from the Greenville News of.
Thursday, editorially commenting
upon the same, l deem it to be proper
to ask you to publish the following
letter which I have sent to the Green
vile News for publication:
1t is with reluctance natural to a
gentleman that I notice, Dy way OF
reply. your scurrilous attack upon
my character in your issue Of Thurs
day and shall claim small space in
your columns for this purpose. lam
content to make general denial OF the
truth Of your various slanders upon
me, believing that just discerning
public will hold in contempt the un-
supported inconsistencies and contra
dictions that you publish and have the
gall to call them charges. You have
failed in your effort to persuade or
coerce Mr.. Sprinkle into giving false
testimony against me, as yen hoped
to do. although he was disappointed
competitor for dispensary business.
Hence you were forced to rest your
case upon hear say" testimony.
When you say editorially that one
of the chief aims which we have ID
life is to break down this corrupt
political machine" you reveal your
motive for your unsupported attacks
upon me and seem to be foolish enough
to assume that your readers Will be-
lieye such transparent lies. In fact,
in your issue of Thursday you admit
that you lied upon me twice in your
issue of April 10Th: and, further, II
you had been willing to do the honor
able thing and had promised to pub
lish the certified copy of the records
of our office which you demanded
through your Columbia correspondent
as to the amount Of our purchases
from Sprinkle, you would have seen
that in confessing that you lied when
you charged that l purchased not
1900 barrels but 500 barrels, that you
were telling new lie, and you would
have been saved the modification Of
having to publish Sprinkle's letter de-
nouncing your charges as false. The
only affidavit that you are able to pro-
duce. signed by cne ''Hoke," shows
the kind OF cattle whose aim in life it
is to destroy the dispensary, as the fol-
lowing extract from same will show:
The subject of the South Carolina
diSpensary law came up, and along
with it the natural inquiry among
ourselves as to the amount OF rebate
which was paid to member of the
board of control by the liquor deal
ers." The natural inquiry" Why
natural?" and why peculiarly pat
ural" to 'ourselyes?" Is it natural
for the public to believe that the e.
adage, evil is he that evil thinkes
applies in this case?
Apologizing to the public for dlg1
nifying you by the attention that
have given, assure your readers thai
they will be troubled by me with no
more newspaper attention to yourself

Why We Don't apleker.D

VI lOHl INC ANtM lOIh lIlbuutsl
! Mr. o Fl. Williams who was the
, last United States consul at Manila,
proposes in The Independent" what
he calls "an imperial dicker." His
plan is for the United States to trade
the Philippines for Newfoundland, the
Bermudas and the British West In
/ dies. In addition Great Britain Is TO
cede Belize TO Mexico. and TO get
/ France and Holland TO give up their
American possessions. so that an in
dependent republic can be organized
out OF the Guinas Thus, with the ex-
ception of Canada, all the American
continent and outlying islands would
be freed from European flags, the
Monroe doctrine forever become a
fixed policy, and peace for all America
be guaranteed" so MIR. Williams asks,
why not swap?"
There are several answers. One Is
that II is more than doubtful II the
other countries concerned would agree
to the scheme We have seen no
ground for supposing that Great Brit
ain would for a moment consider IT,
On the contrary. there are excellent
assurances that she would not do So
II she were willing there Is scarcely a
shadow OF hope that France and Hol-
land would agree 10 II. Both these ma
tions are exceedingly Jealous Of Great
Britain. To ask them 10 surrender al
her request their American posses
sions would be 10 ask the unattainable.
Another reason is that We need the
Philippines. The Pacific ocean Is the
ocean OF the future, and OF the i'm.
mediate future, We must secure and
preserve a paramount place In It's com
merce. To that end we need an ample
footing In the China seas. such as the
Philippines alone can give US. Great
Britain Is now completing an All Brit
ish cable across the Pacific The
United States must have an all Ameri.
can one. Without the Philippines Il
could not do 50. Guam. Wake and the
Batanes would not sufflce II We are
10 have a practicable commercial foot
ing in that part OF the world We must
have a territory there big enough for
our feet 20 rest upon
Stili another answer. and the one
which Is likely 10 rise first In many
minds is that the United States is not
In the swapping business. II accepts
some lands which voluntarily come
20 H. IL takes others which fan 20 Il.
without its seeking, In the shock Of
