FRIDAY, JULY II, 1919.
LAW AND ORDER.

SQGIlU ". III ouItS 1ho oeSA ~
Morse, foreman of the Grand Jury,
will attend the meeting July 16 in
Columbia, called by Governor Cooper
for the purpose of discussing plans
for the suppression of crime and the
maintenance of order in the State.
Sheriffs and foremen Of grand juries
from every county have been urged
10 attend. There has been a marked
wave of homicide in South Carolina
during the past few months. Other
crimes have also been on the in
crease.
In Abbeville County there has
been an average Of more than two
killings a week for the past two
mouths. A few counties have worse
records, while some have better rec
ords.
A contempt for law and feeling
of security as far as punishment is
concerned may be cited as the two
main reasons for the conditions that
confront US. This especially applies
to the cases where white men have
ruthlessly killed negroes. 1t has
been suggested that the spirit of un-
rest engendered by the war is a
cause for so much killing. We doubt
this, because so few ex-soldiers are
involved. If there is one thing that
our citizen-soldiers have learned in
the Great War it is the value and alb
solute necessity of law and order.
The real reasons, we believe, are
cumulative and can be given in Sc
quence as follows: first of all, is
ignorance, which breeds prejudice;
then comes contempt for the law and
finally belief, not altogether unjus-
titled, of immunity from punishment.
It is an ugly conditions of affairs
which confronts the Chief Execu-
tive and the officials which he has
called together. We earnestly hope
that some good will come out of the
meeting. But we believe the chief
good will follow from the publicity
which will attend the gathering.
Plans and devisings will do little to
stop crime unless back of it is pub
lie opinion, aroused and "meaning
business"
The people must be educated and
the lawless must be punished, and
there must be a healthy, compelling,
overwhelming sentiment against
crime. .ln. ..' .. -.
Sheriffs and other public officials
whose duty it is to maintain the
law do just about what the public
demands of them-no more, no less.
The truth of this statement is borne
out in too many instances to be
doubted. Here and there can be
found a fearless public official who
dares to do his duty regardless of
the fact that an easier way out is
allowed by an indulgent public. The
path of least resistance is the usual
way. ,'..- s,~;ias d.: -.r'~..
! 1t IS up to the people. We do not
mean to belittle the meeting of Of
ficials called by Governor Cooper,
in fact, we believe much good will
be accomplished. But crime will be
lessened in South Carolina in direct
proportion as public opinion is arous-

LIKE GERMAN STYLE
Brazilians Suggest Hints To L. =.
Business Men.

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, July Is
Whatever else the Brazilians may
think of the German, they have a
strong liking for the business meth
DDS of the German representatives
formerly in Brazil. Pattern after
the German IL you would be success
/ full in dealing with the Brazilian
merchants, is the advice Brazilans
give to North Americans seeking to
establish commercial connections held
by European business houses before
the war.
| 1t is not from a desire to criticize,
but more from spirit of sympathy
and helpfulness that Brazilians Of
fer this advice.
One local merchant says the Ger
man devoted all his efforts to pleasing
the customer. He learned the native
language, catered to the likes, whims
and eccentricities of the buyer. He
did not try to convince the customer
that he did not know his business or
that the people did not know the
styles. Instead he ordered from Eu-
rope exactly what the merchant re-
quested, and when the shipment ar
rived he was on hand to see that it
was right or to make it satisfactory.
In contrast to this the Brazilian
merchants tell of many North Ameri-
cans trying to sell them something
they do not want, trying to convince
the Brazilian that he does not know
his own market, or even taking his
order and then sending something en-
tirely different. The story is told OF
one Brazilian ordering a number of
black horses from North America and
receiving all white.
Generally the Brazilians are SYM
pathetic toward the incoming North
Americans. But if they are coming
into the field to stay it is felt they
should learn to play the game accord
ing to local rules-please the man
who is doing the buying and who in
turn must please the people in order
to dispose of his goods.
