WHY Not Dantzler or Keitt?

Among the hundreds Of brave,
gallant men who laid down their
lives for Southern independence, none
were braver or more gallant than
Col. o. NJ. Dantzler and Col. l.. NJ.
Keitt, both of whom were killed on
the battlefield leading their men
against the enemy. We would sug-

NEWS FROM BRANCHvILLE.
Two Sad Deaths-New Ticket in the
Field for Municipal Offices.

Little Burrei L. Jones, the youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Jones, who
live in the country few miles from
town, was buried yesterday at the
family burying ground. The little
| boy would have been one year old
had he lived one more day, but he
died and was buried on the day that
would have been his birthday, II he
had lived. The little tot had been
i'll for some time past, and while at
times it seemed that the end was
near, it's strong constitution and the
medical aid rendered by DR.. S. P.
Rentz, would often pull it through
until at last the end came. The
child was idolized by its parents and
| admired by many who had known
it. But it was Gods will to call 1t
hence.
MIR. Charlie Kinsey Dead.
Another sad death was that OF
Mr.. Charlie Kinsey, who died in Or
angeburg on Monday afternoon and
| was brought down to his old home
near Smoaks yesterday for inter-
ment. Mr.. Kinsey was in the bloom
of life, having lived to reach the
age of about 80 years. A few years
ago the parents Of this young man
moved to Orangeburg and obtained
employment in the Orangeburg Cot
ton mill, where this young man
worked continuously until he died.
Mr.. Kinsey is survived by his father
and mother and one sister and two
brothers.
New Ticket Announced.
AS has been anticipated for the
past several days, new ticket for
mayor and six aldermen has been
launched. This ticket is called "The
Citizens Ticket" and is further
known as 1.-The Winning Ticket" and
is composed of the following names:
For mayor, L. w. Fairey; for alder
men, w. A. Dukes. S. S. Byrd. T. 0.
Edwards, F.. a. Bruce, j. M. Tucker
and ]. B. Henderson.
The election that will determine
| who the winning parties shall be is
now nearly four weeks off, and II
is most likely that there will be some
warm political maneuvering in this
town until the election is over, as
this ticket is supposed to be in op..
position to any ticket that may come
out with the present mayor at the
head of it. Branchville is in need
of good men to govern her affairs
| and certainly everybody wants t"
see the very best men that there IS
in town elected to govern the munic-
ipal affairs of the town for the next
two years.

CULTIVATE A FRIENDLY RELA-
TION WITH YOUR WHITE
NEIGHBOR.

We appreciate Booker T.
Washington's hobby on the
proposition OF creating a FRIEND
lier relation and a better under
standing between the races. not
only in the south, but every
where. There are persons who
seem to think. or imagine, that
b. cause a person is of an oppo-
site race or creed, his friendship
should not be sought or rather he
believes 1t useless-presuming
that white man is natural en-
emy-this is wrong. White PEG.
pie are our best friends and are
striving to help the race. Guilt
vate friendler spirit. Of
course we do not refer to the ig-
norant rabble of white people,
but to the old Puritan stock. His.
tory will also show that the best
friend the real American white
man has is the Negro-he has
been tried--he has fought and
proved his valor-yea, he "trod
the wine press alone.' So DO
not assume because a man is
white he is an enemy to you or
your race. We are by creation,
equal, if not by environment.

Moralists say that the mind
grows and dies with the body
that the mind is infantile with
the infant body, full grown in the
adult-wasted by disease, debili-
tated by age, and, therefore, it
must be as a natural sequence
annilhilated by death They
maintain that the analogy that
subsists between the body and
the soul, or intimacy between
one and the other is so entire
that we find at each step the
mind and body growing hand
and hand in common equi pro-
gressive destiny so that the mind
is infantile with the infant body
full grown in the adult. wasted
by disease, debilitated by age,
and, therefore, the presumption
is that it dies when the body dies.

We should be very circumspect

some profit. The love of COM
pany of social pleasures is, in
deed, quite natural. and is atten

Justice in Georgia.

Even though it be but an act of
simple justice, the decision of
Railroad strike arbitrators is one
of the most commendable and
courageous decisions ever given
by a Southern board. White
fireman will not be given prefer.
ence over Negro fremen, the
same standard of intelligence
and efficiency will be required
for both and Negroes will get the
same pay as the whites. Under
the Erdman act, this decree is
final and must be accepted by
both sides.
While on the face of the deci.
sion, the white strikers and their
"cra cker'' sympathizers lose
their point, it will in the end be
for the best interests of both
white and black. Justice always
rebounds to the common good.
That Negro employees must
show equal brain and skill, if the
claims of the whites and
their representative on the com
mission Congressman Hardwicd,
are true, will result in the dis.
placement of the Negro But,
judged by equal tests applied
fairly, the relative number of
Negro firemen will increase rath
err than diminish. If the Georgia
Railroad will now demonstrate
that it has employed the Negro
and not because he is better and
not because he is cheaper
workman, the thrifty and ambi-
tious Georgia Negro will rest
content with the outcome of com.
petition with his poor white"
neighbor.
But the courageous decision
affecting the Georgia Railroad
was only small part of the issue
involved. The issue which the
commission tactfuIly omits to
discuss, was race prejudice. It
was the wild cry of the Southern
rabble against Negro seniority
and industrial equality. 1t was
the diabolical demand of the ire
sponsible labor unionists that
Negroes be excluded from the
cabs of this and all other South
ern Railroads. 1t was the first
attempt to the Negro hating
South to keep the Negro in in
dustrial serfdom. Had the strik.
ers won their point for Negro ex-
clusion, it would have been a.
powerful precedent to be invoked
and followed whenever walking
delegate Or demagogue should
raise the race" cry. 1t would
have meant great discourage
ment to the Negro, a great bar
rier to budding Southern pros
perity.
That justice in this crisis in
Georgia has prevailed, is a
splendid compliment to the
Georgians responsible. 1t gives
the Negro race much satisfac.

Even such a keen Judge of men
as Stuyvesant Fish, ruling the Illi-

of the railroad game. Fish's pride
was the Illinois Central. Harri-
man, though personally friendly

MURDER MYSTERY AT

ANACORTES, Sept. 9.-The
officials of this county are today
working on what 1t is believed
will develop into a murder mys-
terry as result of the discovery
last night of the dead body of a
man lying at the bottom of a well
on a deserted ranch eight miles
southwest of this city.
The discovery of the body was
made by boys who were out hunt

place where the body had lain
concealed probably for some
months. The authorities are now
searching the records for the
names of persons who have been
reported missing during the
year.
1t developed today during the
preliminary investigation into the
affair that one of the boys who
made the discovery passed by the
spot some days ago and at that
time saw the body of a man in
