ALLEGED ROAD OBSTRUCTION

Editor Of The Yorkville Enquirer:
Although not related to Mr.. j. G.
Wallace, referred to In the grand
jury's report as obstructing the road
opposite his house near Tirzah, am
acquainted with the facts in the case
and will thank you IL you will allow
me space for brief explanation.
The alleged obstruction is no OBJ
struction at all; but merely slightly
raised track across the road, put there
for the purpose Of allowing Mrs. Wal
lace to go to and from the cow barn
in rainy weather without getting in
the mud, and which also serves the
purpose Of protecting Mr.. Wallace's
children from being run over by auto
mobiles which violate the state law by
exceeding the speed limit Of fifteen
miles an hour.
This alleged obstruction Is not near
ly so pronounced as the insignificant
obstruction at the railroad crossings a
half a mile on either side, and a load
ed wagon that could cross the railroad
would not make as heavy a pull at the
place in question.
In my opinion the alleged obstruc-
ton would not Inconvenience any au-
tomobile driver who was within the
speed limits, and 1t would be noticed
only by those VINO insist on YlolatlnB
the law at the rate Of from twenty-five
to thirty miles an hour.
What the county board Of commits
sioners will do in the matter / do not
know; but 1t seems to me that they
should give wives and children at
least as much consideration as the
grand jury seems disposed to give to
reckless violators of the speed laws.
Very respectfully.
G. r. Wallace.

Chester Lantern: Solicitor Henry
has been advised of an appeal In the
cases of Meeks and Tom Griffin, John
Crosby and Nelson Brice, convicted at
the last term Of court and sentenced
to die in the electric chair September
26th. The appeal to the supreme
court acts as a stay Of execution, and
will be heard in Columbia next No
vember. II the appeal is dismissed and
the Judgment of the circuit court af-
firmed, the record will be sent back to
the next term Of court for Chester
county following the hearing Of the
appeal, and the defendants resentenc-
ed at such term. probably the March
term, 1914. If, on the other hand, the
appeal is sustained and the judgment
Of the lower court reversed, a new
trial will be granted the defendants at
the March term. If the judgment is
sustained and the defendants re-sen-
fenced at the March term the date
then set for execution will in all prob
ability be a day In May or June Of
1914. II the judgment Is reversed
and a new trial granted, many oppor-
tunities are available to delay still fur
ther the actual execution of the de-
PENDANTS, and attorneys familiar with
the course Of stubbornly contested
capital cases are Of opinion that II all
the chances of delay are taken advan-
tage In this case, the execution will
probably be deferred from two to
three years from the date originally
set by Judge Ramage.

The Progressive Farmer has inaugu-
rated a propaganda looking to the set
tlement of the race question by haV-
ing negro land owners move out OF
white communities and buy land in
communities of their own. Editor Poe
argues that leaving all other consid-
erations aside, it is out of the question
for negroes and whites to get along
properly together because of the eco
nomic difference in their standards OF
living, the negroes living so much
cheaper than the whites. Then he ar
CUES also, that if a school district were
peopled altogether by negroes, it would
be practicable to have schools twice
as good as otherwise. The plain fact,
SAYS Mr.. Poe in the Progressive Farm
er of June Z. ''is that in thousands OF
communities in the south, the negro
farmers are not only subjecting the
white farmers to more or less disas-
trous economic competition by their
lower standards of living, but in many
sections the growing NUMBER Oh ne
groes is driving the white people to
the towns for social reasons. When
the white population in a communi-
ty becomes too small or too scattered,
when the white farmers wife and
children find more negro neighbors
than white neighbors around them, a
tremendous motive is given for NOV
ing away-and If the farmer moves
some negro will probably buy his land
at a sacrifice because other white
farmers have the same feeling and dc
not care to buy land in predominant
ly negro community. Such is the ne
gro's fagrantly unfair advantage fol
driving white people out of the farms
and taking the rural south for. him.

DISREGARD of the Dick Law.-Th

DISREGARD of the Dick law.-The
Washington Post of last Friday, has
the following:
Secretary Garrison's policy In

conformity with the Dick law gives
promise of a shaking up that will dc

warning to Governor Blease that un-
less the South Carolina militia OBJ
served the provisions of the Dick
law, Federal aid would be withdrawn
and the governors promptness IN
wiring that the law would be obeyed

matter, and led to additional disclos-

the part of many states.
$50 universal is slack obedience
that, only two of the states-Michi-
gan and Wisconsin-have faithfully
adhered to the requirements Of the
statutes. Arkansas has forfeited
Federal aid on account Of failure TO
establish satisfactory conditions, and
Arizona is about to be disciplined for
failing to account for equipment loan
ed by the war department. A con-
siderable quantity has been lost be-
yond recovery, and much more is un-
cared for. Part of the blame rests
with the Arkansas legislature for
failing to make the necessary appro-
priation. One besetting sin OF mill

too many staff and line officers. 1t
is noticible that although the refi-

number of companies that full quota
OF officers is invariably maintained.
