Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1914-07-22
HERE AND THERE.

John L. Dyar, who lives near Sem
cca, IS II Of the best farmers in Geo
nee. He has made a success of his
business; he has worked for and
earned every dollar Of property he
owns. He is what is known as a self
made man, and he has every reason
to be proud of the job. Governor
Blease's taunts and jabs at him last
Thursday at Walhalla were unjust
and uncallcd for. The Governor asked
a simple question and Mr.. Dyar gave
a civil reply. What more could a
gentleman want? Yet Mr.. Dyar got
unkind jabs and taunts that were
unjust to him and to an Oconee audi
encc. There are hundreds Of farm
ers in Oconee deserving the highest
praise for their attainmentS, but we
doubt If there be any more dcserv-
ing than Mr.. Dyar.
Mayor Brown has an article in this
issue OF The Courier to which we
wish 10 call attention. II is well
known that the editor OF this paper
and Mayor Brown do not always
agree, but in this instance we most
heartily endorse what he has to say.
and especially what he says with re-
S"i' W lldN pour, unloEIunatc
darkey, "Crazy Henry" Not only are
the boys of the town often thought
lessly guilty Of tantalizing this un-
fortunate old fellow, but (and it is
said to their Shame) frequently
grown men Engage in the practice.
Not long since we witnessed the sad
spectacle Of this witleSS old fellow
going to his home Keeling drunk. not
taking up a whole sidewalk, but lit
orally, in his drunken. witless gira-
tons and contortiOnS, staggering
from side TO side Of Il tifty-fOOt street.
And as he staggered and stumbled
about he sang the praises Of MIR. -:
lie give me a rink. WitleSS and
harmless as this unfortunate, de-
crcpit piece OF black humanity is, who
knows what furIeS. what dcvilment
a drink Of whiSkcy may arouse in
that wandering mind? Mayor Brown
admOniShcs well when he advises pity
for This unfortunate II in place Of
a~ggraVations. Let "CraZy Henry"
alone and he is harmless; a~ggravate
him and give him liquor and the con-
sequences are unknown.

Clerk of Court John f. Craig has
received the picture which Senator
b. r. Tillman is having sent to each
Clerk OF Court in South Carolina.
This is a photograph of the "ringed.
streakcd and striped" LEGISLATURE OF
Republican days in this State. Mr..
Craig will be glad 10 show this pic
fur" to all who wish to see it. Il is
quite "ilIuminating."
It would have been we'll. we think,
a Governor BlcaSc explained fully
as to who the white women teachers
al Benedict College are and where
they come from. f there be any
who went from the meeting Thurs
day with the idea tina these women
are natives OF South Carolina. they
should be disillusioncd. Not only are
they not South CarolinianS or South
crncrS, hut they are not true repre-
$CnldtlVcS OF the Northern sections
from which they hail. 1t seems to us
'hHi TN" bare statement as made by
inc Governor was both unjust 10 all
II women Of the South and 10 the
great BODY OF the women North.
ihcrc are fanatics everywhere
North, South. East and WCst-and
thcSe Whltc women teachers at Bcne-
dict College to whom reference was
maze are hanght but misguided ia
understanding in sclf-rnspert, not
highly esteemed by other white pco-
pie, and respected least Of all bv the
negroes themselves. A residence
South for a period will doubtless
r to open their eyes and emf
ally cure" them OF their maIady.
