The negroes of the South or at
least the leaders of the race are con-
tinually protesting to the white peo-
PIE that they do not want social
equality, and yet there is no instance
on record that We know of where the
negro has not demanded social
equality where he thought it was
possible, nor have we ever. heard OF
any negro refusing social equality
with the white race when it was
offered him. 1t is all very well to
indulge in this kind of talk to fool
the white people of the South, but
the negro will demand social equality
just where and when he thinks he can
get it.

Negro Will Sue for Damages.

Greenville, Jan. 31.-An amusing
incident occurred in the operating
room at local hospital the other
night when Tom Pool, who had in a
row in the suburbs been slashed three
times across the abdomen. with a
carving knife, was under the hands
of two physicians.
In the mix-up in which Poole had
been involved, the other party to the
controversy having been found dead
in a nearby ditch, bullet had lodged
somewhere in Poole's chest. The
physician found it necessary to re-
move a certain portion of the skin.
On this part of Poole's body there
had been drawn by an old sea dog
many years ago, a miniature Amerl-
can flag, in all it's brilliant colors, the
work having been done aboard a
man-o-war when Poole was enlisted
in the navy. Poole refused to take
an anesthetic and appeared much in
terested in the operations. Present
ly one of the physicians ran a knife
through Old Glory, marring the pic
ture forever. Poole made a pass
at him but the doctor warded off the
blow. In his convalescence Poole
swears he will seek damages in the
courts even if he finds it necessary
to take his case to congress, and haul
up the doctor for desecrating the
American flag. .., -......

Charleston to Get Sugar Refinery


A commission has been granted by
the secretary of state of Delaware for
the charter of the Southern Sugar
Refinery, the company to be organiz-
ed with a capital stock of $6,00O,OOO
common stock and s3,000,000 pre-
ferred stock. The incorporators are
James S. Grant, Harry A. Pierce and
George S. Steigler, of Wilmington,
Del.
The parties who have secured the
charter are working with local inter-
ests, in accordance with announce
ment made some time ago that the
big sugar plant will be established
here. The company has yet to be Or
ganized and the application for a
charter with the issue of a commits
sion, as announced from Wilmington,
is merely formality which has to
be gone through with preliminary to
the actual organization.
Local interests are not yet pre-
pared or willing to make any state
ment of the matter. The big transac-
ton pending is about all they will
admit, but it is expected that it will
not be long before the promoters of
the company to import raw sugar for
refining here and distribution through
this section of the country will be a
reality.-Charleston Evening Post.

The general assembly is

The general assembly is very in
consistent it seems to us. At the
last session the lien law was re-
pealed, and at the present session a
bill which provided that crops should
not be mortgaged before they are up
and growing was killed. In the
name of common sense, what good
did it do to repeal the lien law If
crops can be mortgaged instead of a
lien being given? There is no differ
ence in the matter, except that 1t
created whole lot of business for
the lawyers in drawing new forms
for crop mortgages.

Whatever the outcome of the Till

at once repeal the law under which

SHOTS BREAK UP PARTY.
Lexington Farmers House Fired OH
During Jollification.

Lexington, Jan. 30.-Ben Roland,
a white man about IS years old, is
in Jail here, having been arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Miller last night, after
bloodhounds had trailed him from
the home of John Head, farmer,
residing near Saxe-Gotha Cotton Mill,
about two miles from Lexington, be-
ing suspected as the person who fired
into the house of Mr.. Head at 10
O'Clock last night while a party was
being held by the young people.
Mrs. Head was wounded in the
head; Henry Hook was shot in the
back, and Misses Artie Hook and
Bertha Rish were also hit. The shots
were fred at about thirty or forty
yards, and none of the parties are
seriously injured. Two shots were
fired through the rear door with a
shotgun. The lamp in the room was
smashed and pandemonium prevailed
among the occupants of the room.
The sheriff's Office was notified at
once. Deputy Sheriff Miller arranged
for the penitentiary authorities to
send the bloodhounds over in an au-
tomobile, and they were at once dis
patched to the scene. The dogs
struck the trail and carried it to a
house, where Roland was staying.
Admittance was at first refused, but
the deputy was determined. and af-
ter so long a time admittance was
granted. Roland was found in the
house. A second arrest was made to-
day in connection with the shooting.
John Miller, another white man, was
the man arrested. The dogs carried
the trail to Miller's house last night,
but when the deputy sheriff went in
he was found to be in an intoxicated
condition. A double-barrel gun hav-
ing the appearance Of having been
recently fired was found. While the
officer was examining the gun the
dogs struck fresh trail, carrying it
to the house of a Mrs. Frye, where
Ben Roland was found in his socls-
feet and his shoes under the door
steps on the outside. ..a.'
It is said that Miller's shoes cor
respond exactly to the tracks made
by the man who fired the gun. Ro-
and's shoes, on the other hand, would
not fit the tracks, but he will
be held for a. preliminary hearing
The people in the neighborhood are
said to be strong in the belief that
Miller is the guilty party, the motive
assigned being that Miller became Of
Tended because his childre were not
among those invited to attend the
party at Mr.. Heads.
Miller is about 40 years of age.
He said this Afternoon that he would
be able to prove his innocence at the
proper time, intimating that he would
prove an alibi.

KNELL OF THE FIRECRACKER,

Apropos the sane Fourth campaign
appears an illustrated article in the
May Popular Mechanics, discussing
the dangers of the common method
of celebrating and proposing new
features for future and safer observ-
ance of the holidays. Several mayors
of prominent cities express their op-
inion and offer suggestions. All
agree some suitable substitute for
the dangerous toys should be pro-
vided. and pageantry seems to be the
favorite plan. Mayor John F. Fitz-
gerald of Boston. is quoted as fol-
lows:
1T is hardly practicable to take
away from the children one form of
pleasure without giving them some
thing in its place which they will re-
gard as an equivalent. In many cit
les, especially in foreign countries.
pageantry is becoming fine art. and
it seems to me that nothing would
