Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-10-07

+ Authorized investigation of the
Phillips county, Arkansas race trouble
has established beyond question the
existance of a local conspiracy of
surprising intent and purpose. Negroes
taken prisoner in connection with the
affair have given the whole thing
away. Their revelations, are of. a
most startling and sensational nature,
and the truth of what they have told
has been fully confirmed by various
circumstances that seem to admit OF
no. question. 1t appears that white
men were in charge of the whole thing,
and were having the negroes to put up
the money not only for their benefit;
but for arms, ammunition, literature
and the like for the accomplishment OF
the whole hellish scheme. The negroes
told that q general massacre had been
planned for October G. Some twenty
one white men were to be killed by
negroes assigned for the purpose, and
with these killings, which were to be
done by assassination, there was to be
u general massacre. In preparation
for their work the negroes had COL
lected $4,000 rounds of ammunition at
tho Branch Normal school at Pine
Bluff, and this has been seized. The
negroes were being made to believe
that part of the government ut
Washington was giving them assist
ance III securing their rights" and
that among other benefits to he pro-
vided were congress building in
which the negroes were to regulate
their affairs with an army of 5000 men
at their disposal.

Last Sunday is. declared to have
been the hottest October day of which
the weather bureau at Washington
fhas any record. The high mark
reached by the mercury was ss9a
degrees, against 92.5 on october 8,
1885 the previous high record. AT
Yorkville the highest mark reached
Sunday was. 81 degrees, as recorded
by an ordinary unofficial thermometer.
The record of October weather for
this section is held by october Z, 1880,
when the mercury registered between
81 and SO degrees. -. e'
. Although it had been generally
recognized for several weeks that the
illness of Mr.. r. C.. Allen could hard
ly turn out otherwise than the worst
and that with but little respite, the
death Of this gentleman, came as a
distinct shock to the entire communi-
ty. A man of high ideals and fine
principles which included broad and
generous charity with, a most whole
some interest in the well-being Of his
fellows, Mr.. Allein enjoyed the res
pect and esteem Of an unusually large
circle of acquaintancesS in the town of
Yorkville and throughout the sur
rounding country, and In his death
many OF. these feel a sense of loss that
is exceeded only by the members of
his devoted family. A host excellent
citizen was Mr. Allen.

from Mrss;G. c.sbeese Or Rock; Hill,
stating that the statement In this pa
per slast, Friday 10 the effect that he
is; chargea With fsellhgY Japatca fgint
ger was incorrect. The charge made
against him is alleged to be the sale
of extracts and medical compounds
only. He states that while he has sold
such commodities he has never sold
them except for legitimate purposes,
and the, charge nagainst him isfnot
based on fact. He is not lawbreak-
cr, he says, and he requests a suspen-
sion of Judgment one way or the 9TH
er until there has been full disclo-
sure Of the facts. The statement In
The Enquirer was made by repre-
sentative Of the paper who obtained
his information in Rock Hill; but who
did not see the warrant. There Is no
intention or desire to do Mr.. DeeseIn-
justice so far as The Enquirer Is con-
cerned, and his request for suspen-
sion of Judgment pending develop
ment Of the facts is manifestly rea-
sonable and proper.

Tia movement for .lG1k Fund for France,
uhich has gained : largs follcwing n many clties

lions have been made BY bi9-hsarted AmericHnn.
Who believe that the Life Of little child r worth
saving, no matter how far away. how obscure or
how unknown that child may Be.
But while we look beyond our own horizons
. the little children Of devastated Belgium and
France; while we respond generously to the
promptings Of our hearts, let a. not forget those
little ones who are closest to our own hearts.
Only within recent years have tho people Of
the United States fully realized the importance
OF pure milk to the welfare Of the child and more
recently still has It been impressed upon the pub
&c mind that the lack Of cleanliness in the dairy
may mean not the death 81 one child only, but
the death of hundreds Of little ones nj any COM
munity the size Of Pensacola.
If the mothers could make trip throughout
the city, could visit the dairies in the various
sections, could inspect the places from which hte
milk comes which their little children drink, the
public officials would not need to spend any fur
Their time in an agitation for pure milk, but they
would see that the dairies which are not conduct
ed according to the ordinances which should
govern their conduct, are closed. The statutes
now on the books Of the city, and the state laws,
are adequate to insure pure milk supply. but
unless these laws are enforced, of what avail viii
they prove In the future. OF what definite value
have they been in the past?
Public opinion must get behind the movement
for pure milk in Pensacola. Until the movement
is backed by the mothers and fathers Of the
community, until they insist that the laws gov
erning the milk supply be obeyed, then and not
until then will the child life of the city be pro-
tected.
