sections of the country, and so long
as these conditions exist the stabll-
ity of the empire will be menaced.
|, The millions which enter the Unit
ed States from other chimes bring
their language with them, retain 1t
and impart it to their children. Sueh
families feed their minds almost ex-
clusiveay upon foreign literature
Strolls through parks in our larger
cities show that large percent Oh
people read foreign newspapers ana
if is said that in some of the younger
towns in the western section OF our
country English is seldom heard as
the bulk of the population is COM
nosed of immigrants from other coun-
tries.
The Baltimore American III speak
ing of this says:
IT is a well-known fact that as
long as a subject people can Keep
it's own tongue its assimilation IN tne
BODY of the population OF the con
n1erine nation cannot be aftecteo.
Even up in Canada the contention
for French schools has tended to pre-
serve the French-Canadian as a gls-
tinct element in the population. Inc
tongues as used by the various ele-
n,ents of the empire, has always been
regarded as politically critical Tor the
permanence of Auatria~Hungary.
The tie of the tongue is the strong
est known tie of race. The fact mas
been demonstrated in the startllngly,
loose adherence of large section Oh
the population of German derlVity'
After the war shall have closed the
United States will be presented win
the necessity for utterly destroying
the factors that tend to retard Ihe
assimilation of elements OF the Popu-
lation-German, French, English
Austrian or any other. To DO tins
the German school must go. When
an analysis of the situation IN 5ne
country with respect to the SLACK
LOYALTY of so many of the German
element has been calmly made 1t VIII
be disclosed that the tie of the ton,
que has been the controlling tie OF
loyalty to the homeland: The Anerl-
can spirit does not seek to destroy
sentimental attachment to antece-
dent relations of race or nationality
but it does demand honest and COM
rlete loyalty to the land of adoption.
And this it cannot sucure as long as
schools are set apart for the teaching
of children in other than the English
tongue. 1t is we'll to have this IN
mind. as at the close of the war hatr-
ed for things English will create
fanatical demand for the extension OF
public schools where the teaching is
IN the German language. All sacn
schools must be wiped out.

in New York

New York, Sept. 22.-Seven, as re-
ported by the police, have been kill

iously injured, when dynamite ex-
plosion in an excavation Of the new

FAIRFIELD CASES
TO Be TRIED IN YORK
Judge Announces Decision as to
Cases Against IsenhOwer,
Morrison and RawIs.
MUCH INTEREST IN MATTER
Grand Jury Report Was Against
Change of Venue in Trial
of Tragedy.

Winnsboro Special to Charleston
News and Courier, Sept. 22.-At the
opening Of the court this morning
Judge Rice announced that the case
Of the state against Jesse Morrison,
James Rawls and Ernest Isenhower
charging them with the shooting Of
Sheriff A. d. Hood, Rural Policeman
Raleigh Boulware and the negro
prisoner, Jules Smith, on the court
house steps in June. would be trans
ferred for trial at York. During the
day formal order was signed by
the judge directing that the cases be
tried in York county.
The question or granting the
change Of venue has caused consid-
erable discussion since the judge or
dered the cases to be heard by a jury
Of another county, and a great many
citizens have expressed themselves
as desiring the cases disposed of by
a jury composed of Fairfield men, be-
lieving that the county should not
shift the odium Of trying one of the
most deplorable and terrible TRACE
dies that ever occurred in South
Carolina to another county in the
judicial circuit.
Solicitor Henry requested the
grand jury, who were in session, to
make report in the matter and ac-
quaint him with the views of the
people, and in their report, which
was not read yesterday, but which
was made a part OF the record, they
unqualifiedly reported that the cases
should be tried in this county. How
ever, 1t must be stated that few peo-
pie with whom the correspondent has
talked are of the opinion that a jury
free from bias or passion could be
secured without great difficulty, as
almost every citizen seems to have a
conviction either on one side or the
other.
The next term of court Of general
sessions for York county convenes
November %, but whether these
cases are to be tried at this term has
not been determined.
