THE WAVE OF
MORAL REFORM

OF The Times the pastors, on last
Sunday devoted one OF their discours-
es or sermons TO the need of moral
reform and the urgency of the en-
forcement of the city laws In other
words, their sermons were appeals
Tor 4 clean town and civic righteous
ness. 4 synopsis Of these sermons
appear on another page and will be
interesting to all our city readers.
The Times believes that the city
of Greenville IS not as corrupt NOR
ally as mary cities Of the State or
nation, not as corrupt today as It
has been IN the past, but even this is
no great recommendation. Il the citi-

The Times has done more, through,
its Special Edition, to advertise til,

dunn. There is hardly week that

where. This week Mr.. Fischel told
us he saw one in Union City and the
people were loud in their comments
on it and what it represents. Mr..

If negro assaults a white woman,
the negro editors all over the coun-
try. and the black race in tentirety,
clamor for the protection Of the law,
and their favorite plea is Let the
law take its course" But if the ne
gro assaults a negress it is entirely
different. Negroes from fifty miles
around clamor for the culprit's exc
cution by mob law, and resent the
white mans interference You can
draw your own conclusions.
