MAY LYNCH BROKEN BANKER.
HeavlIy-Armed Foreign Depositors
Wild at Losses.

Somerset, Pa.-Weeping pitifully,
Samuel d. Livengood, owner of
the wrecked Farmers bank at
Meyersdale, was brought to Somerset
charged with embezzlement by vii
liam P. Meyers, a depositor, who lost
$4,000.
Livengood gave bond in $500 for
his appearance. When arrested he
had not money enough to pay his fare
on the railroad, and Constable Gill
bert paid the Csc.
The Farmers bank, an old and es-
teemed institution, closed it's doors,
there being not a dollar in the vaults,
About 300 foreign miners had money
ON deposit in the wrecked bank. They
are heavily armed, and say they will
lynch or shoot Livengood on sight,
and heavy depositprs will likely prose
cute him for larceny by bailee. No
good reason for the failure has been
found by the assignee.

A Wholesome Change.

Slavery in it's best aspect implied a
moral obligation. The author of I'm
Gle Toms Cabin softened the terrible
arraignment by the chapters on the
old-style southern s~lave-oWner, with
his ingrained sense of responsibility
to his living chattels. With the de-
struction of slavery this standard
passed. Underlying the upward, eco
nomic struggle of the south is a story
Of savage exploitation of the negro
through his fatal self-indulgence.
Drink, drugs and debt2these three
we're made the chains of a new and
subtle e%nslavement. Narcotics sold
by the very employers of labor
served, on the one hand, to return to
the Golfers of the employer all that
he had paid out in wages; on the
other, to keep his black workman in
s~ubservience. Within a few years CO
caine had been distributed as a regu-
lar ration to the emergency workers
on threatened levees, ito keep them
up to the work" That system has,
happily, passed. The boss" who de.
bauches his men with liquor or drugs
is to-day despised; in many sections
he is not tolerated. The negro may
keep his wage if he will but work hon,
estly and, not less important, consist
emily for it. With the dawning of eco
nomic wisdom has come a recrudes
cence of the nobler spirit of slavery
days, the responsibility of the master
to the servant. The negro who
chooses to be self-supporting and self
respecting has a better chance, says
Golfers, than ever before under the
wise guardianship of the new south.
