The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1907-02-16

The New York Sun throws some light
upon that point. 1t says: "We begin
by secret debauchery in business
methods. We corrupt our common
carriers. We buy, by corruption, in
famous advantages over our competi-
tors in business. We ruin thousands
and, thriving, our lust for lawless
gain grows by what it feeds on. We
retort on the blackmail of legislators
by buying legislatures, so that the in
lection of our morals and our meth
ods taints the. whole body polite
Everywhere the destroying canker
spreads; it invades all ranks, vitiates
the moral sense and oistorts the ma
tional perspective of right and wrong"
No one accuses the Afro-American
OF doing all those bad things and per.
haps he will refrain unless corrupted
by the evil example Of the white man.

The Columbia State, a South Caro-
lima journal, says: "Discreditable as
the record is, there is yet, as we have
said, signs of encoura cement and hope
in it. Our mobs are not
bloodthirsty, not quite so inhuman. A
strong effort for law and order, stern
facing and crushing of the mob spirit,
public condemnation of all men who,
like Senator Tillman, keep aflame the
passions of the mob, and prompter

Another Fire at school building.

Last Wednesday, just as we had
gone to press, the nre alarm was
rung from the Graded School build
ing. 1t was found that the same old
defect In the furnace was the cause of
the trouble having overheated at a
point nearest the woodwork inf the,
northwest recitation room on the first
hoor. The damage done to the build
Ing was comparatively slight, only a
portion of the ends Of the sleepers
having been burned and few pieces
OF flooring charred. Prompt action
on the part Of citizens made the ac-
cident one of little danger to the
building. The flooring was quickly
chopped open and ripped up at the
point of the fire and q few buckets
OF water extinguiEhed the shoulder
ing woodwork.
This same, defective place In the
furnace heating arrangement has
given trouble before, and it Is quite
probable that from now on the fur
mace will be closed and the rooms
fitted up with coal stoves. The heat
ing apparatus has never been salts
factory since very ST. >rtly after it
was installed, and 1t Is considered a
constant menace to the building, as
well as TO the more than $50 pupils
and teachers who occupy the build

Governor AnseI.
(Chester Lantern,)

OF all the Governors that South
Carolina has ever had--and there
have been some fine ones-it is safe
to say that Governor Ansel takes
high rank and is the superior Of the
most Of them. He Is a man of pleas
Ing and engaging manners and
knows how to make a new acquaint-
ance feel at home. One thing that
is very noticeable about him is the
courage to follow his convictions.
He has shown this on several occa-
sions. Governor Ansel's speech was
one Of the best that has ever been
heard here. He talked good common
sense and right to the point. AS a
Governor and as q man he is hard to
beat and the people of South Caro-
lima will undoubtedly re-elect him
unanimously next year. 1t Is easy to
approach the Governor and get ac-
Quainted. Chester people are nigh
ty we'll pleased with their Governor,
and hope that he will visit them Of
tener.
