LOCAL PASTOR
CONDEMNS LYNCHlNG

Declares Lynclling Of Joe Stewart 81
Blot on Fair Name Of Laurens and
Calls for Justice and Vindication.
Rev. Samuel Fl. Templeman, pastor
Of the First Baptist church, made a
scathing arraignment Of the lynchers
Vt Joe Stewart at the morning ser
vice Sunday in announcing the mass
meeting OF citizens to be held tomor-
row night in the court house, notice
OF which appears in another column
of this paper. Rev. Templeman was
outspoken in his denunciation of the
incident and called on all God-fcaring
and law-abiding citizens to back up
the peace officers in ferreting out and
bringing the guilty parties to justice.
He said that the pastors Of the city
had met in protest over the deed, but
had decided to give the laymen an op-
portunity to make public protest
but in the absence Of any such action
he could not withhold his feelings any
longer. Up to this time, according to
the report OF his remarks to The State,
there had been nothing developed In
the case SO far as he was aware, only
a few lame comments" in depreca-
tion, and there the matter apparently
had ended, in so far as he knew. He
invited any pussyfooters and conceal
ers Of crime, if such were present, to
leave the church for he expected to
say something that would not give
them any comfort.
He characterized the incident as a
midnight assassination and the men
guilty Of it's perpetration as murder
ers IF such lawless acts go unwhip-
ped OF the law, both Of God and man,
who knows the color OF the skin Of the
next victm?" He declared that the
| thing was a blot on the county and
the fair name Of Laurens, and he for
one was calling for justice and vindi-
cation. 1t Is for the law abiding citi-
lens not only to speak out in con-
demnation, but to back up the author
justice the guilty, he said.
referring again Sunday night to
the public meeting Thursday night,
Mr.. Templeman reiterated his cen
sures of the morning, but added that
he wished to qualify his charge that
nothing but a few 'lame comments"
had been heard by Stating that The
Laurcns Advertiser had spoken out"
He said that absence from the meet
ing Thursday night would give en-
dorsement to the crime and that II
was Christians duty to be present
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Temple
man received the following letter from
Prof. William S. Morrison, Of the De-
partment of History and Political
Economy Of Clemson college:

There is a Communist movement N
Mexico represented by the Communist
Party Of Mexico which is as yet a
small organisation but which is stead

fcring bave made the Mexican mas

munism. Socialism or similar philoso-
phies. Systematic propaganda will
bring about some vast changes in this
country in short time and the pro-

pretensions he may have made to
that effect are simply camouflage to
excuse his hideous crimes on the Amer
lean border.

Porfirio Diaz and stands for the same
imperialistic ideals as his czar-like uncle
The other socalled rebel chiefs Of

claim to be in revolt against Carranza

would fight any government unless
they had fat sinecures under it.
AS / have said, none OF these men
are Radicals but it is only just 10
say that the Carranza government is
far more stable and democratic than
u government headed by any Of these
other men would have been. Even If
he had been given free hand, Car.
rama would have done no more than
install a mild system Of state Socialism
in Mexico 1t is not even certain that
he would have done that.
Probably somebody will ask "What
about Socialism in YucatanW This
may be answered briefly and defini-
tely. There never was any Socialism
in Yueatan 30 far as the state govern
ment was concerned. Gen Salvatore
Alvarado, an ambitious politician, rode
into power as governor Of the
state on q semi.Socialist wave and a
whole state administration Of Socialist
officials was elected. Some excellent
reforms were inangurated and condi'
tions greatly improved. One Of the
most important changes was the trans
fer Of henequen growing from the
control Of private capitalists into the
hands Of the state which paid the
workers and sold the crop TO concerns
in New York. However, that was as
far as II went and the Socialist Party
of Yucatan was Immediately utilized
by Alvarado as = political machine
for the advancement Of his ambitions
to be president Of Mexico. There are
some honest Socialist left in Yncatar
but they comprise but a small por
tion Of the much advertised Socialis,
Party Of that state. In the last elec
ton Carranya soldiers were used Il
assist in defeating the Socialist ticket
and electing candidates Of the Libcr
al Party. The contest was simply m
ordinary political scramble In which
the Liberals were probably as social
istic as tho "Socislists". The Al
vsrsdo experiment, like zapata's imag

It was for this reason that Gates
painted Zapataland in such colors and
ascribed to Zapata's little savage ter
ritory significance that it never pos
sessed. 1t was all part of the Amer
lean capitalist conspiracy to inter
vene in Mexico. Gates campaign of
uisinformation was one of the prepa'
ratory steps toward Intervention.
The Carranza government is by no
mean Radical but there is no assur-
ance that if Zapata had ever become
president it would have been any bet
ter under him, and there is little ques-
ton that if Villa had become the ru-
Ter Of the country, he would have in
augurated a series Of brutalities as
bad as those of Porfirio Diaz without
the redeemiug feature of Diaz' genius
for construction.
In a word, Carrapzs is q liberal
with good intentions ard broad sym
pathies who has never been able to car
ry aut the revolutionary promise of re-
storing land to the poems because Of
the danger Of intervention but who
has produced large measure Of or
der in the long suffering Republic. He
is not as says Gen. zoee "a member

There was no Socialist Party at the

The Cleveland Press, running "tr7e

its OK is in danger of being gored
through the sedition bills now pending
in Congress that it suddenly invokes
