THE UNBUSINESSLKE SYSTEM OF BORROWING

thouEh I am not eonceited enough to suppose that the wallopinS old Goliah of a PhiIistine win care much whetneg I aIIn at him or not. Or even whether hit him or not.

 You ana I are not respons56le for the prevBience ot the borrowing habit. We have neither the privilege nor the power 10 coeTce our neiEhbors. But We should be responsible if we aided and abetted 1t, or If, on fit occasion; we failed to cp- posa it
 Just at present there Is a tremendous lot Of talk about the governments help ing'' farmers by afforaing them easier Fav Of thinking, is much as f the gov ernnent should undertake to conserve the public health by making 1t easier to catch sna.l-pox!
 Wat the far1ners of America need is not the chance to borrow somebody e5se'a

PAINTER NOT AN ARTIST

Washington, Aug. 20.-Every-
body in the country probably knows
by this time that Warren G. Harding
before he became President, was an
editor.
But few can remember when he
was a painter, and a good one. He
proved his craftsmanship Friday. On
his way home from the executive
mansion, across to his Office, he stop
ped to watch some of the painters
engaged in the business of making
the White House white.
Here, you don't know how to do
that" the President jokingly re-
marked to one Of the astounded
workmen. :'Let me show you"

"Why, on the day President Gar
field was shot got my first contract.
It was for painting a Baptist church
near Marion. I did it too," said the
President.

Governor
Newberry, Aug. 20.-In speech
at Jolly street picnic today former
Governor Cole L. Blease reiterated
his statement made at the Filbert
picnic a few weeks ago to the effect
that if he had had his way the United
States would have staged out of the
World War, that the only thing it
accomplished for this country was
new made graves, widows and Or
phans and a tremendous war debt
which raised taxes almost double.
The Ex-Governor declared that he
was being urged even by his person
al enemies to run for Governor in
the next primary and that unless
some younger man of proven ability
came out for the Office he would
make the race. The Ex-Governor de-

ard said that Governor Cooper's par
don record was worse than his. More
than 1000 people were present for
the picnic and addresses.

In discussing this subjct, the Mat

Effort To Lynch Negro Meets With
Resistance at Knoxville.

Effort To Lynch Negro Meets With
Resistance at Knoxville. "
Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 20.-More
than 27 persons were wounded two
seriously, at $50 tonight when
deputies guarding the Knox County
jail fired on a crowd which had cross
ed "dead line" in approaching the
Jail with the avowed purpose Of de-
manding Frank Martin, a negro, held
as a suspect in a criminal assault
Upon a county school teacher Thurs
day.
All of the wounded are white. Two
are women. Most Of the wounded
were curiosity seekers who were
standing to one side upon the court
house lawn, which is 80 feet above
the street level at the corner where
the Jail stands. One officer, Deputy
Sheriff Charles Lewis, was wounded
in the: arm, by reutrn :. fire, from the
crowd. ..y::ss,.:
Following reports that the school
teacher today had positively identi-
fed Martin as her assailant, large
crowds began gathering in the vicini-
ty of the jail before dusk tonight.
Several times the crowd started
down the hill on Main street leading
to the jail. They were turned back
by police. Efforts were made to hold
them block distant. =
Gradually some Of the bolder ones
edged down the street. There were
probably 200 men and boys in the
crowd that gradually approached the
Jail. Several hundred other persons
many Of them women, were in the
court house yard looking down upon
the scene. ~. .
AS the crowd in the street came
within 10 feet, Sheriff Cate stepped
under an arc light and demanded
that they dsperse. He gave warning
that an imaginary line between two
telephone poles should not be cross
ed. m
As a dozen men passed these poles
the sheriff picked up shot gun and
fred over the heads Of the crowd in
to the air. Four deputies who were
with him then fired two volleys. Two
men in the court house yard and two
or three in the street fred revolvers
in reply. f.. Il,

THE PLACE YoUDREAM OF

There still remains one place on
earth, inhabited by white people,
where there's no work-and no tax
es, no laws, no police, no tag days,
no strap-hanging, no alarm jclocks-
and nothing to worry about; - 't
Tristan da Cunha is the place. '''
It's an island in the South Atlantic
ocean, 1900 miles southwest Of st.
Helena, where the imprisoned Napol-
con died. The Tristanites are des-
cendants of the relief garrison Of
British soldiers stationed there dur
ing Napoleon's captivity. "
Tristan is such a healthy place that
nobody ever gets sick, so there are
no doctors. Once the people had a
chest of medicine, but about 10 years
ago they got tired of having it
around in the way, so they ditched
it into the sea. ,.
You've dreamed of a place like
Tristan. It's the sort of paradise you
yearn for when life gets your goat
and you'd like to crawl in a hole and
pull the hole after you.
Only about 100 people live on
Tristan, but they boast that no one
ever wanted to leave.
The only ship that ever visits them
is British cruiser that drops in once
a year. No other contact with the
outside world. If you could stow
away aboard that cruiser, you'd find,
at Tristan:
An Island 21 miles around. A snow
clad extinct volcano rising in the GEN.
ter. A small village on a fertile green
peninsula. Nothing to make people
work. Nothing to pay taxes for.
The inhabitants eat fish, wild fowl,
birds eggs, clans, fruit and wild po-
tatoes. When they want meat, they
go out and kill wild sheep or cattle.
Clothing and ammunition are obtain
ed from the crew of Ahe cruiser by
.bartering skins of the seals that sport
on TristarTs focs{yShores. :. q ~
Tristan is said to be the only
white settlement in the world that
has no organized government.
, Inherited discipline from the peo-
.ple's soldier-ancestors, along with
such an abundance of everything that
there's no reason for committing
theft or other crimes, has made laws
and organized government unneces-
sary.
The nearest neighbors are 1900
miles away. While everybody in
Tristan has all he wants and is con-
tented, there's nothing worth steal
ing by invaders. Hence, no worry
about wars.-Index-Journal.

MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1921



newspapers to furnish the evidence
that mobs have been riding over the
country hunting for the slayers of
young Brazen with the purpose Of
ilypching them, but the newspapers
called on the governor first.
We are not sure, but it appears
from his statement that the goveror
has some doubt about the statement
that such persons have been hunting
for the murderers. Is it that the gov
ernor has not heard that a body Of
nan appeared at the Jail in Angus
Ia and demanded the prisoners? Or
has the governor not. learned body
Of masked men searched the car in
which the sheriff of Lexington Coun-
ty;was going from Charleston to
Columbia? o.
By the way why didn't the sheriff
arrest the five men, or rather as it is
stated young boys, who came into the
ear masked for the purpose of TAX
ing prisoners from him, if such he
had had, and lynching them?
Where was Judge Hammond, Of
Augusta, when the mob from, South
Cafolina turned up in Augusta foS
the purpose Of storming the Jail! In
stead Of visiting to advise Governor
Hatdwick that the governor Of South
Carolina should say something lit
tie different from the conversation
between the governors Of North Car
DINA and South Carolina, why didn't
be, ,scall on the sheriff of his county
to shoot it out With the mob, and
have an end to the lawlessness?
We said last week that it would
take the spilling Of blood to stop the
mob. No sheriff, no governor and no
other officer will ever stop the mob;
IL he is afraid he will hurt some Of
them. In Knoxville, the other night
. mob stormed the jail, and twenty
eight Of its members were taken to
hospitals. Six machine guns were put
at places Of vantage about the Jail
where they could sweep every street
leading to the jail, and notice was
served on every lawless man in
Tennessee that the law is supreme
and is not to be set at naught by even
a mob. In Massachusetts, last week
an effort was made to storm a Jail
and take away three prisoners. The
sheriff defended his Jail and the gov
,ernor called for enough reinforce
Inents to make the prisoners safe.
There is no doubt in the minds of
any man who read Of the proceed
ings that if the mob had made a fur
ther attempt, it would have received
what was coming to it. The sheriff
didn't take his prisoners and hide
them in first one Jail and then in an
other. He made the law as bold as
lion and with the full power of au-
thority behind him he defied the
lawless element which would have
none of the laws orderly process.
When we get to think more of or
derly government in this state, when
officers have due regard, for their
oaths, when we have a governor who
will order officers to shoot to defend
the law, and when the blood of men
who defy civilization is not regarded
as Innocent" we shall be able to
stop..the mob in South Carolina.
