The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-07-22

IL is not easy TO see how he can eS-
cape the death penalty or how under
the laws governing Christian lands
today he could be allowed to go free.
On the face of it, he has simply
d-bloodedly killed two of his fell
low men. That is the view the law
and the courts must deal with him on.
But listen to some of his sentences
while in the dock:
Il do not wish to say anything in
defense of myself, but simply to prove
the justice of my deed. AS for my
self, I do not think that an English
law court has any authority to arrest
and detain me in prison, or to pass on
me sentence of death. That is the
reason have not employed counsel.
II maintain that if it is patriotic
for Englishmen to fight against the
Germans if they occupy this country,
then it is much more patriotic in my
case to fight against the English.
II hold that the English people are
responsible for the murder of 8O,000,-
600 Of my countrymen during the last
fifty years, and that they are also re-
sponsible for the taking from India
of one hundred million pounds every
year from India to this country.
also hold that they are responsible
for the hanging and deportation of
my patriotic countrymen, who do just
what the English here are advising
their countrymen to do. If the Ger
mans have got no right to occupy
this country, then the English have
no right to occupy India, and it is
perfectly justifable on our part to kill
any Englishman who is polluting our
sacred land"
II make this statement, not for the
pupOse of mercy or anything of the
kind. l wish the English would sem
tence me to death, for in that case
the vengeance of my country will be
all the keener l put forward this
statement to show the justice of my
cause to the outside world, especially
to our sympathizers in America and
Germany"
This simple language, coming from
the abundance of his heart, has q
parallel in English history. The SEN
timents and even the verbiage smack
of the famous speech from the dock
of the Irish patriot-martyr Robert
Emmett, who more than hundred
years ago went to his death for rails
ing his hand against the might of
England's oppressors in his country.
Emmett was no murderer, but the
same spirit that drove him to open
rebellion animates Dhinagri-love of
ones native land.
The Parsee committed a dreadful
wrong when he killed two of his
country's enemies, but he has sound
ed loud alarm that foretells the
downfall of British power in India.

DEATH OF =. G. SMITH.
After Long Illness Christian and
Good Citizen PASSES to Reward.

(Unavoidably Omitted Last Week.
Toxaway, Aug. Especial: On
July 2S the death angel called the
spirit of S. Columbus Smith to come
to his home of rest. He had been
suffering from a cancer, caused by
a burn which he received when he
was only nine months old, and had
been seriously i'll for the past four
teen months. Last November he was
taken to Atlanta to the hospital,
where his right leg was amputated,
but it seemed to relieve him for only
short time.
Mr.. Smith was born in Georgia
on February IT, 1S49. He united
with the Peters Greek Baptist
church, in Pickens county, when he
was Is years of age and lived
Christian life. He was married on
January 10, 1864, to Miss Mary e.
Langston, of Pickens, daughter of
Isaac Langston. They moved from
there to Oconee in 1875. and had
made their home in this county
since.
He was a noble citizen and leader
in the church and Sunday school. A
short time after he came to this
community he was elected superin-
tendent of the Sunday school, which
was held in what was known as the
old Hurricane school house, and he
served number of years in this
capacity. Later his membership
was transferred to Toxaway, and he
organized Sunday school and serv-
ed as superintendent until 1908. On
account of his illness he was unable
| to- attend. He had taught a number
| Of singing schools in Pickens and
OcOnee counties, and made hosts of
|friends.
He is survived by wife and eight
children, seven sons and one daugh-
ter. They are: John Smith, of Tox-
away; James Smith, of the Holly
Springs section; Arthur and Mark,
OF ToXaway; Luther, night watch
man for the Three-State Lumber
Co.; Mrs. A. l.. Spencer. of Madison :;
Willie and Henley, of the Southern
Railway. He also leaves two bro
theirs and one sister, Thomas and
Iack Smith and Mrs. NJ. l.. Jones,
all of Pickens county. His remains
were laid to rest Thursday evening.
His body was the first buried in the
cemetery purchased this spring for
the ToXaway church. Burial SER
vices We're conducted by Leander
Tannery, of Westminster. Rev. J.
IL. Stone, the pastor, was called to
conduct the services, but on account
OF is absence from home he was
delayed. There are numbers OF
friends who greatly mourn his death
and extend their sympathy to the
bereared family. L.JL.

The South is gaining powerful,
friends. And perhaps not so much
friends, whose motive is avowed
sympathy, as merely clear-eyed oh
servers who are just and have cour-
age. BY the multiplication of these
will her way be made smooth. Wm.
Archer completed last winter a long
journey of observation throught the
Southern States. From his conclu-
sions printed in the July McClurc's,
we detach two sentences:
d" the South is in the main
actl ated by just and far-reaching,
If not far-seeing, instinct. | believe
that the problem, far from being un
real, is so real and so dishearteningly !
difficult that nothing but an almost
superhuman wisdom, energy and
courage will ever effectually deal with
it."

and Ambassador Bryce about /the
South's ultimate problem. TO these
names may be added that of Thomas
Wentworth Higginson, survivor of
the generation of abolition Headers

ment during the Civil War. In de-
clining an invitation to attend con
J ference on the status OF the negro,
he deplored all such agitation which

yield an inch of IFS stand in the mat
ter of the relations of the races was
an epochal contribution to the white
race in AMERICA, which, under the
outrageous difficulties which the
North pressed down upon the South,
could not have been done differently.
Probably is would be impossible to
prophesy Il day more unhappy for
this continent than the one on which
| the Southern white should abate one

This morning after the vote CT

%11i, Senator Smith, of South Caro-
lima, said: "After the promises made
by the Republican party, or at least
that element of it supposed to be
represented by Mr.. Taft, that the
new administration had entered
upon a period of reform and that
there would be no sectional differ
ences, and In all legislation and ad-
ministration so far as was possible
there would be absolutely no sec
tiOnal differences, yet when the ques-
tion Of granting favors to the differ
ent sections arose, the Western far
mer-wherc there was Republican
sentiment-was given free binding
twine, while the Southern farmer
was denied free bagging. 1t must
be borne in mind that this twine and
this bagging are made out Of identi-
cally the same material. The argu-
ment had been made that in case the
duty was removed from bagging the
American factories would be destroy
ed and that the foreign manufGctu-
rer would so raise the ptice tha the
American consumer would pay more
for his bagging than he was doing
at present. If that were true. then
the question would have to be an

got his binding. after it Nas placed
