IT'S ALL VERY WELL. BUT

AIoderations are already harping on the old
string that we must not create race hatred or
class prejudice even President Wilson has asked
the American people TO avoid and guard against
such &C Is. AS q general rule more wisdom could
not be uttered, because there are millions of citi-
zens in the United States who are of foreign an
ces;ry and we are thrown together in the great
American melting pot; most of whom are loyal
For that reason we are told to be generous and
guard against race hatred. We are told that
German-Am orleans love this country above any
other: but that they object to the belittling of
their race, the memory of their parents as if
they were inferior, and therefore, should
overlook great deal.
This principle is too lofty for mere mortals,
and we are inclined to think that those who
preach it are not those whose sisters, wives or
mothers have been defiled by the boches. Are
not those whose sons brothers or fathers have
been butchered. Are not those whose property
has been destroyed; homes broken and have en-
dured all the miseries that vicious nation has
inflicted on them. Only those who have not been
affected directly by this horrible war will preach
this has not only been an economic war but a
war of persecution. The boches have prosecuted
the world, including non-combatants, women and
children They have set no limits to their atroc-
tiles and those directly affected cannot easily
control that feeling of hatred for that nation and
they shall never be able to overcome it. notwith-
standing these great sermons of moderation
The German nation sowed the seed of race hatred
and if that seed takes root. that nation shall
harvest.

Durham, ~ c., Feb. 25.-Durham
merchants are discouraging the car

ed that a number of shoplifters are

Gently one prominent merchant

cutglass tumblers in one of these
knitting bags, this incident, report
ed to the president of the Merchants
association, brought statement
from President r. l.. Baldwin ask
ing women to stop using the knit
ting bags when they come up street.
One of the clerks in the store
where the tumblers were stolen re-
ported suspicious actions OF a lady
shopper to the manager of the store.
He went back to the counter where
the lady was pretending to inspect
wished to make purchase. She
replied that she was waiting for a
clerk. Asked about the cutglass,
she said she wanted to find out
about the price. The manager
talked so plainly when he asked
about the articles in the knitting
bag the woman let him have the
bag, but declared tina she intended
paying for the tumblers. Caught
with the goods. she readily
paid the money for the articles and
saved prosecution.
The shoplifter said that she lived
in Salisbury and was leaving town
on one OF the afternoon trains. The
merchant, however, knew that she

kish detachments." That our mill
tary men expect this process to con-
tinue is indicated by Mr.. Bakers
statement that Trebizond will prob
ably soon fall into Turkish ,hands.
There is something especially re-
grettable about this because it marks
the final passing Of the hope that
most of Armenia had been delivered
once and for all from the cruel
sway of the Turk. The Armenian
territories from which the Grand
Duke Nicholas swept the Ottoman
are now being given back into Tur-
keys bloody clutches and such Ar
menians as have survived in those
regions will doubtless share the
dreadful fate already meted out to
so many thousands of their kindred.
Deliverance will come to Armen-
ia in the end but the time is not yet
1t is striking commentary upon
the so-called idealism of the Russian
radicals that they are responsible
for the giving back OF Armenia into
the dread power of the Turk.

STANDARDS TO LIVE BY.

He was a success and yet he

dian thus lays down standard
worthy to be made guidepost In
the modern world, we are too quick
to judge success in dollars and cents
and many man has died rich who
was proclaimed a great success. but
who never did anything really worth
while. The Christian Guardian
looks upon history with pessimism.
upon fame with misgivings. 1t
says:
He was a success. And yet he
died poor. unhonored and unrecog-
nized, and he rests in a forgotten
grave. But he loved God and he
loved his fellows and he did his best
to transfer that love into service.
and that is success. We misjudge
men. We measure them by tho
false standard. The dollar standard
is useless, for Christ died poor, and
Commodore Vanderbilt left mil
lions. Fame is not an accurate
measure, for sometimes il rests IN.
on falsehood History is not ALWAYS
! true, and some little men have great
regulations. and some great men are

Factionalism Asleep.
Greenwood Journal }

1t really seems that factionalism
which has been so wide awake in
politics in this State for number
Of years is hard and fast asleep. 1t
may not be dead, but il is resting
quietly and so far the efforts of sew
eral politicians have failed to arouse
1t from its nap. John l.. McLaurin
has given the thing some very vigor-
Gus shakes. but 1t seems not to have
even turned over. If it opened it's
eyes no one saw 1t. And then came
along another fellow from some
place in the State. and tried to twist
its tail, but there was nothing do
ing. 1t really seems that this man
was heard from a year or two ago,
but the memory OF him has about
faded from the mind OF the average
voter. Let us see was he ever a
candidate? Well, yes. What for?
Give it up, do not know.
There now. Nothing done so far
and we believe that the combined eff
forts of the fellows who have been
raising cain in South Carolina each
election year are going to fall fiat
There is a reson. The people al
ready. tired of this factionalism have
their minds and their hearts OF
other questions. And while it may be
cruel to make the suggestions. 1t oc
ours to us that they are sick ant
tired OF the cheap one-horse politi
clans who have been responsible fol
all this turmoil. They are dead
cocks in the pit. whatever this ma!
mean.

MORE ABOUT THE MAIL
SERVICE.

| Postmaster Hunter informs TIL,
News that it is necessary to rout,

papers reaching subscribers in the
northern part of Lancaster county
who get their mail by II. F.. ID. car.
riers from WaXhaw. There is nc
transfer of mail at Catawba June
ton from the Southern's afternoon
| train leaving here at Cos to the
| Seaboard. Tuesdays paper, conse,
Quently, is sent to Charlotte We'd
nesday morning and down to Mon
roe and WaXhaw and the following
morning is sent out from the latter
place on the rural routes. The pa
per, however, should reach the sub
scribers on Thursday and Monday
morning under this routing.
There are other sections equally
as difficult to reach by mail. Sub
scribers to The News in the Stone

y complaining of delays in getting
the paper. but the service is the best
that can be had under the present
arrangement. The papers 30 to

Stoneboro is no more than fifteen
miles from Lancaster.
The News hopes the postoffce au-

ture to remedy as far as practical
these defects in the service. A
transfer of mail to the Seaboard at
Catawba Junction would put the pa
per in the hands of it's subscribers

SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

Lynching is never justified. 1t
may be no more than is deserved by
certain types Of criminals; it may be
punishment none too severe. but
there is no justification for an act
in direct defiance of law. The per
petrators of the crime against the
community Saturday when a negro
murderer was summarily despatched
should be punished. The lynching
took place near Fairfax in Barn
we'll county, and while the victim
was guilty of very atrocious mur-
der, having shot to death with no
rroVocation white man of that
town, there is nothing to ind cate
that he would not have been dealt
with properly by the courts. Well
meaning men in excitement are Of

thought that the courts will mete
out to the accused the punishment
he justly deserves. Mobs are with
out sense or reason and while the
good people of Barnwell county were
rightfully indignant at the murder
OF a young man who stepped be-
tween his father and drunken
negro, that cannot be said to justi-
fy the taking of the law into their
own hands and thereby committinp
a crime against themselves, their
community and their State.

There are some people who ride
all through the journey of life with
their backs to the horses They are
always looking into the past All
the worth of things is there. They
are forever talking about the good
old times, and how different things
were when they were young. There
is no romance in the world now. and
no heroism. The very winters and
summers are nothing to what they
used to be; in fact, life is altogether
on small, commonplace scale
