An Easy Task.

1t is easy to praise our friends when
they do right or to defend them when.
they have injustice perpetrated against
them. The story is told that many
years ago the officers of the army of
the king of Hanover refused to have
ANYTHING to do with young lieutenant
who had been promoted on the field of
battle for gallantry. They claimed
that he was not their social equal even
though the shoulder straps of a COM
missioned officer were his. The king
heard about the boycott. The next
day at parade he called the young man
to his side. Then, arm ia arm with the
lieutenant, he walked before the whole
army assembled on dress parade. Then
that night, as his special guest, the
king took the young officer with him
to a banquet. OF course when the king
went arm in arm with the young man
the other officers at once felt he was
not only their social equal, but friend
we'll worth cultivating. Yes" | said
to myself as / read that story. how
easy it is for some of US to walk arm
in. arm with our friends when they are
doing right, but how hard it is for
some of us TO take the hands of our
| friends when they do wrong and 10
speak TO them kindly and firmly and
yet lovingly. as Joab told King David
about his faults"

these days is to be distinctly Chautau-
quan in it's character.
The striking feature Of the coming
gathering is that it is aimed to be
convention for the circles primarily.
This idea has been taken up enthusiastic
cally from end Of the circuit to the 9th
er, and nearly thirty of the circles, from
Maine to Missouri, have volunteered to
send one, two and even three delegates
In consequence Of this extraordinary en-
thusiasm, the programs are to consist
Of series of round table discussions
and conferences Of the various depart
ments Of the Chautauqua work. Each
of these conferences is to be led by
scholar Of eminence, but the discussion
is to be open, more than ever heretofore
to the general body Of those attending.
The basis for the interest that is being
shown in the coming convention, may be
found in the summary of extraordinary
results that have been accomplished by
the society in the last four months. In
that time thirty-eight (3S) new circles
have been organized by the Field Secre-
tary, Miss Jeanette M. Goldberg. These
comprise a membership of 1895, all in
active operation. Delegates are expected
from majority of the circles.
Miss Goldberg closed her organization
work for the spring season by forming
splendid circle in Pittsburg during the
first week in June.
Besides this, indications point to a
large attendance of individual members,
students and teachers

EDITORIAL

The Word Within the past few Gays
a market street murder in
"Jew" which one "Jew" killed
another was exploited for columns in the
daily newspapers. AS news item it un-
doubtedly had it's value for the seeker
after the morbid In fact, most of the
individuals involved were Of the degen-
crate type, and the cause Of the quarrel,
the outcome, and every detail that made
the story were simply and solely OF the
genus criminal
It did not in the slightest involve the
question of oppression or prejudice. 1t
had not in it a solitary element that
would arouse either the sympathy or the
antipathy Of one class more than OF an
other. Jew and Christian alike read OF
it with the chagrin and shame that come
to every finer nature when vice wallow>
it's fearful proportions before the eyes
of the innocent. Its only possible ele-
ment of distinctive interest was that it
was unusual for Jew to be a pandar
and still more unusual for Jewish wo-
man to live life Of shame.
So much to the credit of the Jew
though to pronounce it one must shut
ones eyes to the East Side brothels OF
the New York Of to-day.
Hence I ask, why the words "Jew'
and "Jewish' in connection with the
Market street murder.
The Jewish outlook., 1906-06-29

By what right does the newspaper
drag into it's nauseating details the re-
lgion which the criminals at some time
in the past, or their ancestors, may have
professed.
That may have an interest for the
statistician, but the newspaper is not in
that business, does not care rap as to
the proportion Of murders to the proper
ton Of Jewish population, and abhors
anything as dry as sociological problem
even as nature abhors vacuum.
1t wants news. 1t wants sensations.
1t wants stories that throb with heart
interest. Perhaps a murder has elements
that fill all these ends and perhaps the
newspaper very properly gives it space
in the ratio Of its nearness and its inter-
est to the home community.
But that in no way presupposes the
right to seek for criminal designations in
a house Of worship, to attempt to drag
to the level Of the criminal his co-be-
levers.
By what right is the criminal classed
as Of prominent or Of ''well known
JEWISH family? What connection is
there between profession Of faith and
the crime? Have you seen in the col
umns upon columns printed to cover the
Thaw-White murder single reference
to the religion Of either murderer or vic
tim? Why, it would be ridiculous to
call criminal a Presbyterian or
"Unitarian' or a Methodist. We
have right, therefore, to conclude that
the use of the word Jew is but the out
cropping Of what in all generosity we
will term a latent prejudice.
The word "Jew," my newspaper
friends, is sanctuary. 1t is as sacred to
us as the word "Christ" is to YOU When
you profane it you profane every human
religious instinct, be it Of Jew, Of Chris
tian, or of Mohammedan. When you
apply it in contempt you blaspheme the
soul that seeks it's maker at it's holiest Of
holes. When you use it heartlessly you
are but sowing the seed Of cruel bigotry.
When you use ii needlessly you but
widen the breach that the universal faith
erhood Of God is closing for the univer-
sal brotherhood Of man.

Too Many Papers.

We see from the Florence Times
that the Sumter Evening News has
suspended publication:
We have never seen a copy Of the
News, after it was sold out to Knight
Bros, and thought perhaps it would
succeed, if it practiced economy in all
branches as it did in cutting off its
exchanges.
Sumter has always had a good even
ing paper in the Item and if the same
money, energy and patronage that
was spent in starting and maintaining
the News for short period had been
given to the Item, Sumter would have
had an evening paper the equal of
any in the sta@.
At Johnston, S. c., a newspaper
also called the News was started by
Mr.. A. E. Perkins to break down the
Monitor, edited by Mr. c.. J. Terrell.
The consequence was the News Grip
pied the Monitor to such an extent
that it had to sell out, and in turn
was so badly crippled itself that Per-
kins had to sell out first and a new
man took charge Of both panars as
one It is very easy matter to start
paper, but keep it going is another.
Few people realize that 1t takes an
actual cash outlay Of s1S5 to 5000 per
month to run anything like we'll reg
ulated weekly paper. If they did,
they would not be so slow to pay, their
subscription.-Bish Vindicator.

FIRE IN TIAIAIONSVILLE.

Timmonsville, March 15.-At II
o'clock today the alarm of fire was
sounded from the large three-story
wooden tobacco stemmery belonging
to John McSween. a strong wind was
blowing at the time and this building,
being large and in close proximity to
the large tobacco warehouse Of j. w.
Berger & Co., and the large livery sta
bles of NJ II. Purvis, in less than one
hour all three of these plants We're
burned to the ground and total loss.
The losses are as follows: John Nc

Don't Overcrowd.

The suspension of the Sumter
News, newspaper that was started in
a field already ably filed, has caused
the Florence Times to make some re-
marks that apply with force to other
lines than newspapers.
The Florence paper says:
1--WE know something about that
sort Of thing. People frequently crit
icise the Times for not putting up a
new building, but they cannot under
stand when we tell them that the
same resources that we might have
used in putting up that much desired
building had to be absorbed in the
purchase of the paper which recently
gave US rustic for the field, small
mercantile enterprises as Of newspa-
pers or anything else. Why cannot
you do something that is not being
done by some one else? It would
save heap of trouble in the COM
rnercial world There are plenty of ave-
nues for the investment of talents and
money without trying to crowd any
one or two already more or less we'll
filed. The worst element that could
possibly enter into business is spite
work, no matter what else you un-
dertake cut the spite work, it is
mighty apt to come back to YOU"
1t is fact that in some communi-
ties, there are those who make it a
business to "dabble" into everything
that seems to be succeeding. If a
man comes to the town and seems to
be doing we'll, these marlpots butt in
and think because he is succeeding,
that they will just take little Of
the same. The man who got first on
the ground, if he is conducting his
business along correct lines, is not
going to be run out. If the field is
limited and the competition is really
strong it may be survival Of the fit
test, but it rarely happens that one
competitor ever runs another out Of
business. Generally in over-crowded
lines, ali drag, while if a little judg-
ment had been exercised and the nee
essary brains, energy and capital had
been directed along a line not suffic-
iently developed, the parties involved
as we'll as the entire community would
be benefited.
Overcrowding is not necessary.
There are hundreds Of openings for
business ventures in every live town.
The field is limitless if common sense
and judgment are brought to bear

From the Daily Item March 20


PASSENGERS on the morning train
from Bishopville brought a report to
the city that Jim DeSaussure, the ne
gro who attempted to assassinate Mr..
II. r. Barnes few weeks ago by
shooting him in the back with a shot
gun loaded with buck sho.-, lnficting a
terrible wound through .li.. light lung,
from V tich he was lpectcd to die for
days. lad killed the jalier With an iron
rod, but was overpowered before he
could effect his escape from the Jail.
Later it was rumored, but whence
the rumor originated could not be as
certained, that mob had assembled.
seized the Jail and preparations were
being made to lynch DeSaussure.
A telegram to Bishopvnlle asking
for particulars brought the subjoined
reply, which is so lacking in details
that it throws but little light on the
matter. It indicates, however, that the
current runors have, as usual, exag-
gerated the gravity Of the situation:
Bishopville, S. c., March 20.-Jim
DeSaussure attempted to escape this
morning. He fought the ja:ler with
.sn iron bar. The jailer, however,
overpowered him without shooting.
The jailer was not hurt, but prisoner
was severely used.
The following statement relative to
the above was obtained from another
source: Jim DeSaussure communi-
Gated with friends and late yesterday
afternoon lowered a cord which he
had in his cell to the ground, where
some one attached rod of iron to it,
and ne drew it up through the bars.
When the. jailer entered the cell this
morning to give the prisoners break
fast he was hit on the head and
knocked to the floor by a blow with
the iron rod in the hands Of DeSaus-
sure. The jailer recovered himself at
once, snatched the rod from the ne
gro's hands and beat him with it Sc
verely. The jailer received no serious
injury. The people Of Bishopvi}le are
greatly aroused over the incident.
