The Robesonian., 1908-08-20

On the first page Of this issue
will be found a communication
from the members Of the county
board Of audit and finance which
effectively explains just how
much of ''vindication" there was
in that statement published a
short while ago by the commis-
sioners and two members Of the
board of audit and finance about
the settlement Of the account Of
ex-Sheriff Geo. r. Mcleod.
At the time the statement re-
ferred to was published it was
claimed that it was a complete
"vindicati0n" Of Mr.. Mcleod.
We did not see then, even
without the explanation given in
this paper, how that former
statement could be considered
any vindication; and certainly
in the light of the explanation
that appears today it could not
be considered so.

1t is Offering no excuse for the
lynching Of negroes in the South
to say that the actions of the
mob in Springfield, ILL.,, Satur-
day illustrates just the difference
between the North and the
South in handling such things.
When laWless mob gets togeth-
er in the South to punish anegro
for some crime it does not modest
any negro except the one who is
thought to be guilty, but at al
most any place in the North
when a mob starts out to lynch
a negro for crime it is more
than apt to attempt to kill every
negro within reach and to destroy
all negro property. The mob in
Springfield started out to lynch a
negro who had assaulted white
woman and it burned out the ne
gro quarters of the town, killed
several negroes and caused near
| ly every negro in the town to
seek safety elsewhere. This riot
is said to be the result of years
of racial antagonism, the negro
population Increasing every year
and the inG0Iance Of the negroes
growing unbear2ble. Perhaps
the difference lies in tho fact
that the Northern man, as a rule,
thinks Of the negro as a race and
wants to punish all for the crime
Of One-just as, for instance, if
there was a large colony of Chi
nese in a city in this State there
would be a tendency,in the event
an atroclOus crime were commit.
ted by one, to wipe out the entire
colohy. Anyway, so long as {
crime against a white woman il
the North causes a mob to wreal
vengeance on the entire negro
population it comes with mighty
: poor grace for the people of tha
section to lift up their hands il
holy horror and to preach, will
that bolier-than-thou air, whel
: a mob in the South contents it
self with lynching the perpetra
} tor of the crime alone.

Young Men Prepare Your

On account of the new 8-hour law
passed by congress in the interest of
telegraphers, and also on account of so
many new railroads being built and old

tive estimates have placed the number
OF additional Operators that will be re-
quired during the next ten months at
approximately 10000.
Young Men Now Is Your OpDOr-
tun1ty! Enroll in our School Now
and in only four to six months we will
have you qualified for splendid posi-
tons. Telegraph Operators receive
from $4,000 upwards. Our school has
been established twenty years; its
equipment is perfect; instruction thor
ough and practical, positions positively
guaranteed our graduates. Board in
Newman is very cheap; the town il
healthful and the people are cordial.

the suit? That is one of the
things they want you to 'Vindi-
catc"them for; they want you to
endorse that.
Why is it that ex-Sheriff Nc
Leod was allowed 81. 20 for every
sale of land for taxes, while the
commissioners allow Sheriff Nc
Neill only 70 cents for the same
thing? They say to Sheriff Nc
Neill that the law only allows 70
cents and if that is true of course
they should allow him only that
amount. But how could they al
low ex-Sheritf Mcleod ST. 20, and
if they made a mistake does
not ex-Sheriff Mcleod owe the
county the difference?
Sheriff Mcneil collected and
turned over to the treasury for
B and G, or license, taxes for
1907, the sum of $2,69726; ex-
Sheriff Mcleod, for the same
taxes, for 1866, only accounted
for S431. so. Why?
Did the merchants on the board
of county commissioners pay any
B end C taxes for the year 1906,
and if they did not do SO, why
not? Is there any rule OF law or
justice which allows a rich mer-
chant, who happens to be a coun-
ty commissioner, to escape the
payment Of his lawful taxes,
while the farmer has his land
sold, and the man with no land
has his household goods seized,
| if he does not pay his taxes?
These are some Of the reasons
why we think the present boarC
of county commissioners and ex.
Sheriff Mcleod should be defeat
ed. They ask to be nominated as
a "vindication"? Do they de-
serve vindication? Have they
made any effort to correct abuses
that have been called to their at
tention? Have they not antago
nized at every step the investi
cation authorized by law as t.
their conduct in office? No mat
ter what inspired the investiga
ton: that is neither here no
there, though we Of course d.
not believe the tommy-rot tina
has been diligently circulated t,
the effect that it was inspired b.
jealously and personal enmity
but all that aside, an investiga
ton, no matter by what inspired
could not have revealed anythin
to the discredit Of these men
there had been nothing to re
veal.
Is it up to the independent an
intelligent Democrats Of Robeso
to "vindicate" men an invest
cation Of whose conduct in ofiC
reveals such conduct as indicate
: above?
E And only a few things al
= touched on here. There is muc
more along the same line. L
stead Of its being up to the V
>. ters Of the Democratic party
"vindicate," it would seem to
. up to them to rebuke such CO
- duct in Office by retiring the
men.
