GREENWOOD'S NEWSPAPERS
(Index-J Journal)


When was the first newspaper pub
lished in Greenwood and how many
papers have there been since?
The first newspaper which Green
wood can claim as her very own was
"The New Era" published forty-six
years ago, 1875, by the late Col w.
K. Blake. As stated by a chronicler
of the journalistic history, of the
town this paper twas looked on with
indifference at home and was rather
the sport of its grave and dignified
contemporaries in the court house
town of Abbeville." The Press and
Banner, this chronicler says, took a
very large view of the mission of
the New Era and called it "the
Great American" while the Alb
beville Medium regarded "it in ra-
ther an aetherial, light and thought
it was the greenwood Gasometer
designed as g. safety valve for the
towns effevescing patriotism and
enterprise, WHILE" as the aforesaid
chronicler goes on to aver cit was in
reality the dawn of New Era which
was to date her future rise and pro-
gress."
The above more or less facetious
references to the towns first news
paper appear in Greenwood issue
of the Press and Banner of date,
Wednesday July 20, 1887 on the
occasion of the biggest celebration
in the towns history, the great day
of the Tournament.

HOOTCH CANDY CAME
FROM CHARLESTON

Charlotte, N. C. May 9.-Samples
of the "hootch' candy which is de-
clared to have seriously intoxicated
six school children here Friday were
sent today by DR.. W. A. 'McPhaul'
city health officer, to the state la
boratory at Raleigh for analysis.
Further action by the local health
authorities will depend upon the re-
suit of the analysis, DR.: McPhaul
said. If the tests show that the can
dy contains injurious ingredients
the federal pure food authorities
will be advised, and if traces of alco-
hol are found federal prohibition
agents will be notified.
The health officer reported that
his investigation disclosed that the
candy was bought in Charleston, s.
c., by a Charlotte man and that his
children who became intoxicated d to
the point of Inconsistencies after
eating it. This particular brand OF
candy is not on sale in stores here,
so far as the health officer was able
to find today, he said.
DR.. McPhaul pointed to the print
ed labels on the packages as sugges'
tive of the days when liquor was
plentiful. They contain the phrases
"Should auld acquaintance be. for
got?" and The candy with the fla:
vor," the latter "the" being under
scored for emphasis. The labels bear
the name of a Chicago manufactur-
er.

London, May 1O.-The capital of
the British empire today accorded
Prince Hierohito, heir to the Japa-
aese throne, tumultuous welcome
upon his arrival here for a three
weeks visit to England. Full honors
of state were extended to him, the
occasion being the first such honors
to a visiting foreign dignitary since
1914. A bright spring day provided
ideal weather for the function.

for example, had been raised some
what and there had been less inter
ference In the manufacture of drinks
for home consumption, 1t Is alto
gcther possible that by now the great
body of the peo Yie would be less
belligcrenty disposed toward prohi-
bition.
Meanwhile, it might be observed,
prohibition is prohibition in namo
only, in many sections of tho coun
try. There may be 'ess consumption
of liquor among some classes Of
people, but it is q matter of common
knowledge that there Is even greater
assumption on the part of other
classes. Some of the liquor con-
sumcd was illegally acquired, much
of 1t, in fact.
The bootleg industry Is thriving i'll
spite of the efforts of Federal and
local enforcement officers, and ii is
assumed, with good reason that the
Illicit distil'ation Of liquor is
increasing instead of decreasing. Tho
high prices which such beverages
bring is an induccmcnt to men to
run unusual risk, in ORDER to keep
their market supplied.
- The commOncst complaint cEe
hears against prohibition is that it
has accomplished just three things:
1t has closed the saloon, it has
increased enormously the cost of
outlawed beverages, and it has
brought alb "ut an unhealthy contempt
for law in general.
1t is becoming more apparent to
every conservative. thinking man that
the Prohibtionis,s carried their cam
paign methods to the extreme. After
eliminating the whiskcy interests, on
paper, they made them more influen-
tial and powerful rs a. matter of

able to understand how those theorct =
ical arrangements can DO made to
harmonic with tho fundamental
principles of Republic, when tho
basic declaration provides that tho
people shall rule ana shall determine
just who should control their affairs.
Every step now taken is to discredit
this principle and to put in the hands
of one individual or q few individuals
the interests of AL the people without
those peoples consent. AS q result,
we are constantly going FROM bad
to worse" We are building up an
arrogant oligarchy, which seems to
be of the opinion that the people and
their wishes are to be the last consid
cred.
Here we have in this locality some
fifty thousand colored people and
they are absolutely without represent
tation in any branch of the city
government. They must humbly ask
for favors. They are not so situated
as to make any demands. 1t is only
by Il most pathetic appeal to tho
sense of justice of those holding tho
reigns of government that any favors
can be secured.
Certain it is, the better class OF
white people should see to 1t that
some recognition be accorded this
class Of people. Now, these people
come forward with proposition to
take away even from the white people
the representative form of govern
ment and send to the rear, the white
men, who represent the white folks
interests.
They propose that the representa-
tive form Of gov srnment shall DO
abolished and that Il white boss shall
be So cctcd, not elected to control tho
City's affairs. We must admit that
we cannot see the wisdom OF this
courtc. 1t may do for while, like
all pa,liatives and narcotics do, but
in the iinnt analysis, it is destined
to break down for the reason that
il is un-Amcrican.

NOT MURDER

A most interesting case comes to
orr notice from Danville, Virginia.
1t seems that Irvine Penn (colored)
set a trap-gun in his store to wound
or kill the thief, who had been
stealing his goods. He had notified
the police of his troubles. Officer
j. p. Jones attempted to enter PENIS
place at night and received the load
Of buck shot from which he died
Jones relatives and friends became
indignant and it was necessary to
remove Irvine Penn to I.ynchburg for
safe keeping. In the meantime, tho
grand jury in Danvillc indicted Penn
for first degree murder.
Jack l.. Lee, one Of the ablest
attorneys in the State has been en-
ployed to defend Penn. Just how a
case Of murder can be made out is
interesting to us. There was not
malice and it is evident that Penn
had no wish or desire to kill tho
officer. 1t is also true that no one
regrets more than he does, the fact
that the wrong man was killed.
Hc was over jealous in his effort
to stop the taking away Of his goods
and chattels after the sworn officers
of the law had failed to afford him
any relief. The affair is unfortunate
but it is one of these untoward,
unfortunate affairs which seem des-
tined to happen.
Furnishing Penn for setting a trap
gun upon his own property will
bring about most unfortunate
condition Of affairs in that constitu
tional rights VIII be involved. 1t
looks to us that Attorney j. l.. Lee
will have the better Of the argument
in this case and that a. conviction
Will necessarily result in reversal
OF any such decision by a higher
court. -; .t13

man, named Green Is alleged to have
committed highway robbery and
assau ted white woman In the day
time and Il white man named Brown
has been charged with attempting
criminal assault upon colored
woman. Both females are admitted
ly respectable in their respective
localities.
Both are positive that the right
men are under arrest. Both men
claim that they were somewhere ESQ
when the crimes, or alleged crimes,
were committed. They claim that
these cares are ones Of mistaken
identity. 1t seems to us that our
attitude should be to punish the
guilty and to release the innocent.
There should be no indication on
our part to punish the white man
becaWe he is white, but to ascertain
if he is really the person guilty Of
the crime. If lie is not guilty our
demand should be to release him and

be nscertaincd.
Certainly some white man attacked
the colorcd woman and equally
certain it is that some colorcd man
attacked the white woman. Our
attitude and that Of the Ministerial
Conference of Richmond is not to
shield the guilty parties in either
case. If Green is guilty, the demand
Of every law-abiding colored citizen
should be the samc,--that he be made
to suffer. If he is innocent, it should
be our effort to have him released
| from his present unfortunate predic-
amcnt.
The bond of union between the
colorcd and white people at this time
should be cemcnted, and every effort
upon the part of the thoughtless
clements white and black, to stir up
race feeling should be stamped out.
Let lis approach these cases with all
open mind TO the end that equal and
exact justice may be done all parties
to those unfortunate happenings. Let
us have peace and let us remember

JAPAN CONDEMNS AMERICAN
IYNCHINGS.

The National Association for the
Advancement OF Colored People, 70
Fifth Avenue, New York, today an
nounced that Japanese condemnation
OF American lynchings had been re-
ceived in the form Of four column
editorial III the Asian Review, May
June number, published in Tokyo
Japan:
"Americans vociferously claim to
be the champions Of justice and hu.
mainly" says the editorial, yet they
do not hesitate to trample upon these
very principles and perpetrate the
foulest deed ever conceived"
The crime referred to is the burn
ing alive, at the stake. OF Henry
Lowery, at Nodena, Arkansas, on
January &c, 1921.
The matter quoted by the Asian
Review was press publicity matter
sent out to the foreign press of the
world by the New York Office of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People:
1T is an indelible STAIN" the edi-
torial continues, con the name of
America that in this enlightened age
such crimes should take place pub
licly and the offenders go unpun-
ished. 1t goes to demonstrate the
utter callousness of hearts of the
American public. Lynching is pos
sible in the United States because
the spirit of America is in favor of
it. If this were not true, this foul
crime would never have grown to its
present proportions nor would any
Of the more than three thousand
lynchings during the past thirty-two
years have taken place"
me editorial concludes by saying
that creation of a strong public
opinion throughout the world will
be necessary "in order to bring suf-
nclent pressure to bear on the
American government to adopt ef-
fectiVe measures at once so as to
make 1t impossible for the American
MODS to resort to these barbarous
excesses."
