you must act, my friend. Why are you
not at the head of your compatriots
marching toward the East in search of
the mythical Indian czar?
What do you ask of Anatole France ?
Money? Anatole Frances faithful fol-
lowers, the leaders of L'Humanite,
the Populaire, the Journal du Peuple
and the International, have only that
money which has been sent by your
masters to spread throughout our
country the vicious doctrines which
have led you to famine.
What do you ask of Gerhardt Haupt-
mann? Money! This great Teutonic
author would not be able to send YOU
anything because his people have not
yet rebuilt the farmhouses DESTROYED
by the Kaiser's shells.
What do you ask of Blasco Ibanez ?
Money?
No. You ask for grain; you ask that
the hordes marching to the East shall
be fed
We have neither grain nor money.
Maxim Gorky. You appeal to the broad
spirit Of humanity. Who betrayed this
spirit? 1t can exist only when it is
founded on those principles which are
at the basis of civilization. The first
of these is respect for the pledged
word.
Now, the government which Won nm
hold has twice violated its pledged
word; it signed the peace of Brest-
Litovsk, betraying its allies. Tt re-
fuses to pay the interest on the debt
which the whole of Russia guaranteed
should be paid to the small bourgeois of
France.
With what joy we should answer
your appeal; with what joy we would
echo your cry Of anguish if, under
PAIN OF death, you should dare to cry
out that the world will never be at
peace so long as the Slavic people suffer
from the Bolshevik gangrcns.
You write: "The cruelty Of the vic
tors towards the vanquished." We
cannot listen to your appeal. In France.

misery. We are turning all our pow

is awaiting. Give gospel to those

Well, as soon as he lamps Angelotti

Then Tosca drops in fer visit, an

An after they've printed an mugged

But never a squeal does he give 'em,

An then Tosca blows into the office.
She's been chasin' around after

An her an the chief have confab.
Says Scarpia, very polite,
"What wonderful weather we're

They're sweepin' cell out at Sing

I told him he's gotta plead guilty. If

An Tosca says, "sure, kid, get

Then Scarpia goes to the table, an

Then she lays him out swell on the

A Blow for Lyncheru.

While applause is hardly in. order
in the chambers of the Supreme
Court, The Record believes it would
have ,clapped its hands vigorously if
st had been present when Mr.. Asso-
ciate Justice Cothran, representing
the unanimous opinion of the South
Carolina Supreme Court, hit the
special term propaganda of the mob
spirit with a legal blunderbuss, load
ed to scatter. ......
The Court of General Sessions is
plainly told few things by the Su-
preme Court as it reversed its deci-
sion in the Gossett case and remand
' ed it back to the court below, with
instructions to try it the next time
with proceedings conformable to
law" That rebuke is not alone ap-
, plicable to the Abbeville Court of
General Sessions, for participating
in illegal lynching" but to many
: others in South Carolina. y
! Associate Justice Cothran wrote
the opinion and the entire court con.
CURED, the new trial being granted
on the grounds that Gossett was not

criticises the statute under which
special courts are called and cites 8

accused has no showing under the
present policy of special courts.
The court also severely criticise!

REALIZATION OF IMPORTANCE
MAKES SUCCESS ASSURED
More Than 200 Manufacturer Will
Have Exhibits In Made-ln-
Carolinas Show.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 1.-That
the general public, as we'll as the ex-
hibitors, is acquiring q realization
of the full Importance of the Made
in-Carolinas Exposition, giving add
ed assurance Of its being tremen.
dous success in every respect, is the
substance Of reports coming daily to
the executive offices in Charlotte,
according to announcement by j. c.
Patton executive secretary. With the
exposition opening less than two
weeks away, the various committees
are now working GU final details of
their particular tasks, while scores
of exhibitors and their representa-
tives are arriving daily to- give per-
sonal attention to matters preliminary
to installing the exhibits. .
More than 200 manufacturers of
these states, representing every line
of manufacturing endeavor in this
section, will have on display more
than 5000 different articles of
finished merchandise, showing the
wide diversity Of Carolina-made
goods! 1t is estimated by exposition
officials that the capitalization Of
the companies represented will
amount to about $250,0oo,OOO. This
is the first event of its kind ever held
in the Carolinas, and ie regarded as
one of the most important under
takings- of public interest accom-
plished in recent years in the south,
eastern states. g., ,-..
The interior Of the building is now
a scene of constant and intense &C.
tivity. A staff of men under direction
of r. H. Bryant, formerly of Durham
N. c., building manager, is affording
all proper and possible assistance to
the. exhibitors. The principal build
ing, of brick, steel and concrete con-
struction, was finished more than a
week ago. The airdome, enclosing
another area of about $4,000 square
feet, and including 35 booths for
concessionaires, is completed except
for the construction of seats for
about 1000 people. g." \
Work of decorating the interior
was completed today.

EXCHANGE ECHOES
In Hands of People.

The State.
The excuse that the "mob spirit
prevails because the courts do not do
their duty and that the lawyers man
age to circumvent the law to the
advantage of their clients is ancient
and somewhat threadbare.
Whose agents and creatures are
the courts? ..,
If the people have not the capacity
to make the courts do their will,
that is confession that the people can
not rule except by mob violence,
which is another way of saying
that they are not fit for self-gov-
ernment. s.S@,.
Who make the laws? The people
make them->ff they make them so
badly that astute lawyers can set
them at naught at pleasure, they
would better surrender their state
hood and ask the federal govern
ment to give them territorial rule
or call III some princeling to decree
laws and decapitate interfering law
yers and Judges.
Who are the juries? Are they not
Of the people? Do not considers
6le number of the people evade jury
duty? Are not statutes framed to
relieve many good citizens Of jury
duty? In South Carolina numerous
murders have been committed in the
last two years-but how many
white men have been convicted of
murder by juries Of the people?
One suspects that five or ten per
cent Of every gang of lynchers will,
con the quiet" argue that capital
punishment should be abolished.
However, if the courts and the
lawyers are more responsible for
lynching than are the people and for
the people are excuse for tolera-
ton Of the mob spirit, it follows in
evitably that to restore respect for
the law, the judges and the lawyers
should be lynched before persons
accused Of crime have attention.
The people can have law and
order if they want it. How to get
them is perfectly well known. No
new process requires to be pre-
vented.
Men are not lynched in England
or. in New England. a., -. - -. =

WOMAN IN ODD BUSINESS
Makes Fair Income by Deprlving Bees
Of Thek stinas, for Sale to
Druggists.

A correspondent Of the Boston Her
aid tells Of a woman beekeeper In
Auburn, Maine, who for more than u
luarter of a century has derived a
good income, not from marketing the
honey, but from selling the stings.
Manufacturing druggists buy them,
for each sting contains an infinitesi-
NAL quantity of formic acid, which
druggists extract and sell.
When the woman begins the days
work she lights peculiar lamp, which
throws off dense smoke. That stupe-
fies the bees, and she collects in a box
as many as she thinks she will need
for the day. She works in her dining
room with all the curtains drawn OK
cept the one at the. window before
which she SITS. Firmly fixed in front
Of her Is a high-powered magnifying
glass. -.. ....<. ..,
She opens the box, gives 1t shake,
and the bees come out. The light OF
the window in front Of her attracts
them, and they swarm upon it. She
reaches out with her left hand, plucks
q bee from the window and, holding
It under the glass, takes q small pair
Of tweezers in her right hand and
draws the sting. She drops the sting
into a cup of sugar Of milk in order
to preserve 1t. Then she kills the bee
by dropping it into cup Of soapsuds,
for stingless bee is Of no worth In
the world, The stings are shipped
In. glass bottles that hold five hundred
each. ........ ......, -
The woman keeps count Of the stings
that she draws each day. On the
average she daily draws about nine
hundred. The greatest number she
eyer drew In one day is fifteen hun.
dred. Once she took the stings from
one thousand bees In three hours.

Law Losing Majesty.

Newberry Herald, .....
The supreme court is, entirely
correct in granting new trial in the
Gossett' case. These special courts,
as Justice Cothran says in delivering
the opinion of the court, are nothing
more nor less than judicial lynch
ings: We said the same thing when
the act was first passed by the legis-
lature. The special courts are meant
simply to be- compromise with. the
mob. Just saying to the mob if you
do not take the law into your hands
and lynch the party the state will call
special term of the court and 60
through the legal form of trying the
criminal, but the purpose is to lynch
him according to the forms of law.
There can be no compromise with the
mob without the lowering Of the
dignity of the law, and the tendency
is to bring the administration of the
law into disrepute.
Whenever the mob is superior to
the regular channels of the law, then
things are coming to a bad state and
it is getting time for the good law
abiding people Of this country to
stop and think soberly and well, be-
cause the foundation of our very
system Of government is being un-
dermined and there will be no pro-
lection to life or property.
It is not well and does not speak
well for the power and strength of
the law when it becomes necessary for
the regular officers Of the law to be
running over the country trying to
dodge and evade the mob.

Justice Cothran, and published in
this issue an also the article from the
