The Sheriff Upholds the Law,

The Sheriff Upholds the Law.
The Light.
The negroes Of Newberry county,
and in fact of the State, feel CRATE
full indeed to Sheriff Blease for his
manly stand in upholding the law
in Newberry last week, where
worthless negro would have been
lynched had not the sheriff been de-
termined to uphold the law. No
doubt. Governor Cooper's counsel
gave strength to the peace officials.
Of course it was hte duty of the
sheriff to get his prisoner out of the
way of the indignant citizens, but
! even duty performed in such cases
! is a burden to be dreaded, and car
ries with it the risk of ones own
life without conscientious approval.
Its disgusting and harmful to the
good thinking negroes, that so soon
after the Denmark and Pomaria trag-
edies, and with the embers of race
riots in Washington and Norfolk
barely smouldering, and with lynch
ings recorded every day or so from
Georgia, Mississippi or Texas, to see
that young negro soldier, reared
in a Christian home and educated,
should so far forget his own good
family name-mothers and sisters
his santifed, gray haired father,
as to offer "insult to any woman" :"
What an era of bad feelings and
general troubles his foolish actions
would have caused, and in fact have
; already engendered in the minds OF
many white people in Newberry
against the negroes there. Better
that Elisha Harper, with his pro-
phetic name, had fallen hero on
the field of Flanders, passed with
the flu in French barracks or gasp
ed his last in an American camp,
than to come home and disgrace his
family, race and uniform in the
State penitentiary by insulting any
woman. The same remark holds
true of all or either of our four sons
who were in the army.
It's a shameful SANDER on the wo-
men of the negro race, that any
negro man would go around with
his pockets stuffed with white wo-
mems pictures. That of itself show
ed the foolish young Harper to be
mournfully inclined in respect to
the women of the race. AS preach
RS and teachers, negro leaders just
a; well speak out against this in
! nation of some Of our negro boys,
-om the pulpit and class room.
We advise the negro boys to
throw to the flames the pictures OF
French girls or any other white wo-
men. How loud we negro men
would curse, even old Harper, if our
wives and daughters would gallop
around with pocket full of white
mems pictures? The same is true of
any negro that stalks around with
white girls pictures in his pockets.
We advise the negroes to not send
one word of sympathy nor one cent
of aid to any negro that falls in
Harper's class, insulting women and
being fascinated and lured to crime
by French girls pictures. Young
Harper was told, like other soldiers,

to leave those pictures in France,
but he failed to obey.
Young negroes who have black
mothers and kindred, can cast no
further aspersion on the true wo-
men of the race, and no greater
harm to forestall the uplift of the
race, than the ever lurking desire to
mess up with white neople. No wo-
men in the world are better and

men, and to hades by the electric

married TO the other. But after going
about with him for two weeks they
parted.
Now Miss Fairfax. what I want to
know Is this really care for her
and I know she cares for me Should

friends again?

Since you are sure that real love
exists at bottom between you and
this young girl. why not seriously
talk things over with her. At least
Not many young men would for
give such an act Of fiCkleness. but
il rs true that she Is very young,
and the fact that she was tempo
