Vagrancy.

A movement is sweeping over
the conntry to put the vagrants
to work.
1t is a good movement and
should be pushed along, for if
successful it would force many
who are now making a dishon-
est living to earn one honestly.
The effort would he most graf
flying.
The idle ought not to be per-
mitted to live on the earnings of
the workers.
The crusade should not be
confined to the colored race
alone.
The law is not supposed to be
a respecter of race Or color.
Those who need to work and
can get work should be made to
go to work, whether they be
black or white.
The idle are living though
they are not working.
Where is the living coming
from!
The answer is easy; from
those who do work.
Discussing the vagrancy Ques-
ton, the Florida Times-Union
says:
1t is probable that there are
more negro men than white
men idle here because of the
practice that is so common
among negroes Of having the
women support their husbands
or having the employers of the
negro women support them.
A woman gets a position as
a cook and often carries off
enough from the table Of her
employer to feed her family.
Sometimes the employer knows
this and doesn't care. Even
when this is the case the man
should not be permitted to live
in idleness.
by working he could help
his family to accumulate prop
erty or be prepared in case of
sickness.
The negro women of Jack
sonyille and other cities Of the
South would be benefited more
than any other class by the
enforcement Of the vagraacy
laws, for they would find accu-
mutation as the result Of their
work, instead of having it all
go to the support lazy men in
idleness.
When we consider the in.
dustrial situation in the South
we are forced to the conclusion
that we cannot rely on our pres.
ent supply of labor.
The industrial growth of the
South cannot continue at the
present rapid pace without Sc.
curing labor from other states.
Our rapid development de.
mands immigration, and with.
out immigration it must stop.

The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1911-10-19

Last Friday was the SIXTY
second anniversary of the birth
of Sam Davis, the Boy hero
of the Confederacy,' who lait
down his young life rather thar
betray a friend. The day was
not observed outside of Tennes
see, but it should have been ob
served all over the country
The South has produced nc
braver man.
Though hanged as a Confed.
crate spy, and only a private in
the ranks, the name of Sam
Davis is destined to live in his.
tory so long as we admire moral
and physical valor.
His execution was almost a
matter of current history.
He was commissioned by the
Confederate government as a
member of a scouting party sent
out under the command of Capt.
Fl. B. Shaw to secure informa-
ton regarding the plans of Gen.
Grant.
Captured near Pulaski, maps
and specifications We're found in
his boots and saddle.
Though offered his liberty if
he would betray the name of
the federal soldier who had fur
nished him information regard
ing the federal defense, he res
olutely refused to make the dis
closure, and died with the secret
in his breast.l
At a celebration in Nashville.
Gov. Ben w. Hooper, a Repub-
lican, was the principal speaker.
The tribute which he paid to
Davis was pretty, indeed.
Among other things, he said:
When the tide of war rolled
over these hills of Tennessee,
Sam Davis heard the call Of his
state, and enlisted to fight fo1
the flag that represented his
convictions,
Like other young men who
were mustered into the service,
with uplifted hand he took the
oath Of allegiance to the Con.
federacy.
What did that oath mean tc
a man like Sam Davis!
WAS it the empty words of
a perfunctory ceremony?
No; the day soon came when
he demonstrated to the world
that he was willing to lay down
his life rather than to prove un.
faithful to the sacred words OF
that oath.
What all inspiration that
should be to the men of this
day and generation in the walks
of civil life!
If the time has come, or if it
shah ever come, when the VIC
lation Of the Solemn oath of a
public official in city or county
or state shall become a matter
for private jest and public boast,
the rugged features of this
bronze statue Of brave, clean,
manly Sam Davis will look
down from this enlinence with
scorn for such men.
It is a far cry from a man
who will suffer death rather
than betray a trust, forsake a
friend or desecrate a principle
to a man who will fagantly
violate his official oath, to fur
ther mis- political interests by
paudering to a depraved public
sentiment. Daily Piedmont.

bearing Josh Ashley rolled in

bearing Josh Ashley rolled in
sight. The pursuers had failed
to overtake the party who had
the negro and were evidently
on their way back to Anderson.
Upon learning of the lad who
drove the automobile being in
the city. Ashley instituted a
search for him. The lad was
chased into a rear Of a drug
store where despite the efforts
of police to protect him, Ashley
and his crowd laid hands on
him. The lad was placed in
Ashley's machine and carried
back toward Spartanburg.
According to Sheriff Poole up
on his return from the fight,
Ashley and his crowd forced
this lad to reveal the where
abouts of the deputies and the
negro. When seen tonight by
your correspondent Sheriff Poole
said:
The automobile in which we
left Greenville was making
such poor headway over the
muddy roads that Deputy Sher-
if Martin and I. fearing that
we would be overtaken by the
mob, decided to'get out of the
machine and hide in the
woods. We told the boy to
drive the automobile back to
Greenville by a circuitous route
and tell no one where he had
put us out. Martin and I had
gone about two miles from the
place where we left the ma
chine and were concealed in a
thick body of woods when we
heard the,shouts of the pursu-
ers. Within a few minutes we
were overtaken. Josh Ashley
was the first man I saw, He
grabbed the negro and we had
a sharp tussle over him. With
in a second some rs or 80 men
had collected about Martin and
myself, and we saw there was
no use shedding any blood.
They took the negro from US,
but promised that they would
not harm him. They said they
would carry the negro back to
Honea Path and consult the
"oMer heads Of the town as to
what was best to do.
Anderson, Oct: l1.-''Willis
Jackson came to his death from
/ Igunshot wounds at the hands of
an unknown mob.' was the
verdict reached by the coroner's
jury at Honea Path today.
The horribly mutilated body
was viewed by the jury, and
then cut down from the tele-
phone pole by Coroner Beasley.

LONG STAPLE
COTTON AT FAIR
$1,000 in Prizes Are Offered
Hon. C. H. Carpenter of This
County Interested.

the 18th we Clip the following:
G. H. Carpenter, of Pickens,
was in Columbia yesterday to
make arrangements With the
State Far Association to secure
space for an exhibit Of long sta
pie cotton at the fair. Mr.. Car
penter represented Ira Williams
Of the State demonstration work.
It is planned to offer $1,000 in
prizes for upland long staple cot
ton and every effort is being
made to have an excellent show
ing at the State fair.
The interest in this cotton
that has been awakened in our
farmers said Nh, Carpenter,
and the splendid results that
have followed their experiments
make possible an exhibit Of this
kind.
In order to encoura. e our
farmers to show what they have
accomplished, liberal premiums
have been offered both for the
best plants and also for cotton
in bales. Do not let any one
think that because he can not
have his cotton ginned on a roll
Ter gin it is useless for him to
compete. The cotton of this
class bringing the highest price
last year was g!nned on a saw
gin. However, it must be re-
membered that the greatest care
must be exercised and the gin
run as slowly as possible in or
der to avoid cutting the lint. ~
Mr.. Carpenter is himself most
enthusiastic over the possibilities
to be found in the long staple
product and is very desirous that
every grower in the State shall
take part in this contest. as he is
certain that an exchange Of eX
periences and of results will be
of great benefit to the farmers.
He says also that those desiring
to sell the cotton on exhibition
can dispose of it to advantage
here in Columbia.
The $1,000 in prizes will be
distributed as follows:

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Taft,s recent message
suggesting an amendment to the
Pure Food and Drugs law In It's re-
lation to Prepared Medicines, does
not refer to such standard medicines
as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
and Foley Kidney pills, both of which
are true medicines carefully COM
pounded of ingredients whose medi-
cinal qualities are recognized by the
medical profession itself as the best
known remedial agents for the diseas-
es they are intended to counterfeit.
For over three decades Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound has been a stan
dard remedy for coughs, colds and
affections Of the throat, chest and
lungs for children and for grown per-
Sons, and it retains to day It's pre-
eminence above all other preparations
of it's kind Foley Kidney Pills are
equally effective and meritorious.
