Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-05-04

WE reproduce from the Chester
Lantern a fling that the Fort Mil
Times has seen proper to make at Sen
ator Brices appointment as member
of the winding-up commission and the
comment of the Lantern thereon. We
had seen the comment Of the Times be-
fore it was reproduced in the Lantern;
but 1t had not occurred to US that what
the Times had to say was deserving OF
serious consideration. AS the winding
I'D commission will neither buy nor sell
liquor, we do not see how Mr.. Brice's
service on the board will be inconsist-
ent with his former activities. On the
contrary, he having done more than
any other one man to kill the dispen-
sary, it seems to us that it is especial
ly appropriate that he shall assist al
the funeral obsequies. The suggestion
that Mr.. Brice takes the place for the
money that Is in it, is surely joke, for
five dollars a day and expenses for the
few days he will be employed could
hardly be much of a temptation to him
Surely the Times must be laboring
under misapprehensions in regard to
the matter, for a newspaper that feels
responsibility to the people 1t serves
would hardly be led into wilful and
deliberate Misrepresentation of the
facts.

allowing Mr.. Roosevelt the much priced
shots. Details of the actual shooting
were not brought down to Nairobi to-
day from the camp, but it was declared
that in each case single bullet from
the ex-president's rife sufficed to bring
down his lion. From this it is regard
ed that Colonel Roosevelt is living up
to the reputation. which he has gained
here, of being a crack shot. All the
lions were of normal size, and after
the natives had dragged them together
in the grass they executed the usual
dance around the trophies.

Peonaae and the Ashley

Peona9e and the ASn!ey Sdse.-
"Peonage" prosecutions command, as
rule little respect from clearseeing men
in the south. Grimes" rather sudden
Iy invented or discovered and appar-
emily confined to limited localities de-
serve to be examined with caution IL
not with suspicion. In the south are
hard masters, plenty of them, but there
are hard masters in the north and west
as well, and one who has heard OF
sweatshops, the bread lines, white
slaves and the poverty stricken and
herded miners, in other parts OF the
country, questions whether or not the
peonage for which men are brought to
book in South Carolina would not be
overlooked as an evil incidental to In
dustrial conditions elsewhere.
For Joshua w. Ashley Of Anderson
county, the News and Courier has no
paritiality; Ashley Is not an especially
attractive figure and in our opinion, he
has conferred no large benefits upon
the commonwealth during his some-
what noisy career; but We know some
thing of Anderson county, and we doubt
IL any system Of quasi slavery does or
can exist within its limits. II Ashley
has oppressed his laborers, (and we do
not say that he has), he has done no
more than have severe employers not
only IN SOulH CdTOllIld, Uul Ill cNciy
American state. Possibly, too, some Of
them have transgressed the Federal
statutes. When a prosecution Is de-
sired, a statute to fit it may sometimes
be found upon occasion, we suppose,
and there are highly respectable, culti-
waited and influential persons In the
north who would be sadly disappointed
IL no attempts to restore the institu-
tion of slavery In the south should be
uncovered. Something must be done;
it must be revealed that the poor ne
groes are unprotected in their lives and
liberties; otherwise posing in Massa-
chusetts would be at an end and the
damnable notion would spread that the
southern white people are no worse
than other men Of the same blood, hu-
mors and affections.
The mistake Of hard masters in the
south is that they do not go to the
great cities of the north and conduct
sweatshops. The crime Of holding men
in peonage cannot be committed north
of the Mason and Dixon line.-News
and Courier.
