session last Wednesday elected
w. l.. Glaze of Oranpeburg, as
circuit judge of the first circuit.
He succeeds Judge Copes who

cept unless sufficient pressure
can be brought to force him to
take the judgeship. He has
promised his friends that he will
not at once refuse the position
but whether they can persuade

seen.

ARREST MORE SUSPECTS
In BARN -EJRNihG CASE

Will Gregory and Ned Wilson,
young negro men, the former
employed as a wage hand on the
plantation of Mr.. A. B. Nivens
and the latter employed in the
same capacity on the plantation
of Mr.. S. P. Wilson, were ar
rested Monday afternoon in the
Gold Hill section of the township
by a detective, sent to the COM
munity by Governor Blease, and
Police Officer Coltharp, charged
with the burning of a barn on
the estate of Lee S. Nivens, Sun
day night, January 5. There is
said to have been mass of
damaging evidence worked up
against the men and they were
committed to Jail Monday night
to await trial at the next term
of the general sessions court for
York county.
Two negro women, Viola Rog-
ers and Martha Hucks, were ar
rested as witnesses in the case
and the Rogers woman was, on
her own request, lodged in Jail
along with the men. She is said
to have expressed the fear that
If she remained in Fort Mill
township she would be severely
dealt with by friends of Gregory
and Wilson. Several days ago,
the woman was taken out of
town by party of negro men
and terribly flogged for being
suspected of assisting in the con-
vlction of negro blind tiger.
Martha Hucks was released on
her own recognizance.
Not only is Will Gregory held
for burning the Nivens barn,
but he must in addition answer
the equally serious charge of
attempting to poison the family
of Mr.. Burt Nivens. Gregory is
accused of having deposited a
deadly powder in the water
bucket on the back porch of Mr..
Nivens' home last Sunday night
and 1T Is said that he has con-
fessed the crime. Fortunately
none OF the water was used be-
fore the presence of The powder
was discovered.
For the arrest of the men and
the strorg evidence which it is
said viii ue produced in the court
against them, much credit is due
Mr. w. H. Windle, VINO has
worked almost INCREASINGLY on
the case since the barn was
burned about three weeks AGO
1t was as result of Mr.. Windle S
statement to Governor Blease
that q detective was sent to Fort
Mill to work on the case.
Another negro, Burt Knox, an
rested as a suspect in connection
with the burning of the barn
. who was committed to Jail sew
eral days ago, will be released at
once, as there is said to be no
evidence to connect him with the
crime.

| Bismarck. N. D., Dec. Ito The
Forum: The very next generation II
more than one state in this nation il
confronted with an awful penalty
which must surely be paid unless the
conditions of life on the Indian reser-
vations are changed at once.
| "Offcial reports" are relied upon by
the average citizen to show that there
has been improvement during the last
five years. These reports are untrue
The opposite is true. Conditions have
been growing worse all the time, not
ably on the Standing Rock Sioux res
ervation.
Please note startling fact. Fully
one-half Of the Indian children are
created and their childhood is passed
under conditions which must give rise

In such case, humanitarian con-
siderattons alone should arouse citi-
zens to insist on reformation. But the
hardest hearted robber of Indians,
VINO tries to cover facts by inducing
or coerc1ng Indians to put thumb
marks" to false documents. must
know that the next generation Of citi
zenS will have the economic burden of
a detective race Of Indians still beget-
ting other defective children. IT will
cost millions. The cost will be a tax
on each state, not on the federal gov
fNFs mil l.
unfortunate humans will be dropped
by the government and become a bur
den on each state.
For our neglect and lack of interest
in this matter, our children must nav
dearly. No court Of bankruptcy can
release them from the debt.
Some on" may say that one-uuarter
or the Whlte people are not worth pre-
serving. We may say 'the only good
Indian is dead one" but unless we
reed mothers and children, white or
indian, their defective offspring Will
collect heavy penalty from our own
children.
Unscrupulous money makers and
grafters find it easier to prey upon a
conquered race which has no voice in
government affairs, and no opportunf
ty to form unions, than upon white
farmers and tradesmen. AS long as
graft or robbery or malfeasance goes
