constant support of the Dyer. Bill by
the Republican Senate Leader has

Senator LODGE T.,
United States Senate.
Nov. q, 1922,
Washington.
DR.. M. A. N. Shaw $50 Shawmut
Ave., -Roxbury, Mass. My dear DIR.
Shaw
I am in full sympathy with the SEN
timent expressed in your letter of
November "a, and will do all that
can to prevent filibustering on the
Anti-lynching Bill. Though l don't
believe it will be possible to prevent
strong opposition by the Southern
Senators. You may count upon me to
assist and support this humanitarian
Legislative Measure, With best
wishes, I remain.
Very truly yours,
DAVID i. WALSH.
shaw's Letter to Walsh
Boston, Mass,
November oath, 1922.
Senator David l.. Walsh. United
States Senate, Washington, D. c.
Mr.. Dear Senator:-
AS President of the National Equal
Rights League, and perhaps your
most ardent supporter of my group
IN Massachusetts am confident Of
the fact that in your judgment issues
that are purely humanitarian, will
take precedent to matters that are
merely of party interest.
The League of which I am head as
you well know has been most active
in urging the passage Of the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill because it is the
only measure that has come before
the American Legislature, having for
it's aim the protection of the lives of
Twelve Millions of American Citizens,
and at the same time purging Ameri-
ca of the most damnable plot that has
disgraced her at home and abroad,
and placed her in the category below
Turkey for brutality and crime.
l therefore send this message to
urge upon you the necessity of stand
ing by Senator Lodge in his endeavor
to get first consideration and favor
able legislation for this Bill. We un-
derstand that the Southern Senators
are bent On filibustering, opposing
and resorting to every conceivable
subterfuge for the purpose of defeat
ing the measure.
The Colored people of the Equal
Rights League throughout the country
know my stand in your behalf as 1
have endeavored on every occasion
to tell of the soul you possess, they
are therefore looking to you to in
f1uence all other soulful democrats in
favor Of this Bill on account of its
very Americanism. Don't fail US in
the earnest plea Of your faithful sup
porter.
MATTHEW A. SHAW,
President N. E. r. League.

THE EDITORS OMISSION

The article published in the last
issue on South Carolina should have
a credit mark in some way. 1t is an
excellent condensed outline history
of South Carolina and is paper that
was read before one of the women's
clubs of Newberry and the writer
does not want her name published. In
fact she did not know that the paper
was going to be printed until she read
it in the paper but it is so excellent
a history outline of the state that
we thought it would be good to print
it and this much credit should be
given, that it was written by one of
the women of Newberry. 1t would
be good thing for the children who
are and who may the coming session
be studying the history of the state
to cut this out and study it.

By Mrs. Agatha A. Woodson
Miss Sadie Goggans

Not only has Newberry long line
of married women to be proud OF,
but her young women are behind no
set of girls in the state. Several OF
these occupy positions of prominence
and one among these is Miss Sadie
Goggans, the daughter of John e..
Goggans and Della Long. Her faith
er was descended from the Revolu-
tionary family of Daniel Goggans,
who came to Newberry from Vlr-
ginia before the Revolutionary war.
Her direct ancestor, Daniel GoggaRs,
was in Marion's command during that
struggle. Another family of great
repute in Saluda, Edgefeld and New
berry counties, from which she is de-
scended is that of Peterson. Her
grandfather, Jerry Goggans, married
Elizabeth Peterson, sister of the be-
loved Saluda pastor, Rev. James Pet
enson (Uncle Jimmie) so honored by
every one who knew him and to
whom one of the beautiful windows
in Red Bank church is dedicated.
She was also a sister to Captain VIM.
Spencer Peterson, who was killed at
Atlanta during the War Between the
States (186G.
Miss Goggans is a prominent teach
er in the schools here, yet she finds
time to devote to patriotic labors.
She has served as supervisor of the
rural schools in Newberry and in
Richland counties, is secretary of the
Red Cross chapter Of Newberry, and
secretary of the state Woman's auxil-
iary of the American Legion, as well
as county chairman of the same or
ganization.

the closing with DR.. R. A. Goodman
or rather l drove him oyer. 1t was
most delightful trip, the weather was
fine and the road in good condition.
There was large audience present
as is the case at all these school clos
ings, and l am always pleased to see
the people come out and take an IN
teret in the school. You can not do
much toward improving conditions
until you get the people interested.
This is a fine community, this Chap
pells section of the county. There IS
a handsome school building here,
much larger than they need at pres
ent so far as the class rooms are con-
cerned, but the auditorium is not too
large and it will not be many years
before all class rooms will zoe filled
and we will have high school at this
place.

Another omission that may be
charged up to the editor is the article
nv Mr. R. Y. Leavell which we stated
was in the last issue and which we
made some comments upon, which did
not appear. You will find it IN this
issue. We suppose that every one
in Newbery who is interested IN the
town had read the article any way
because most of the people of the cl-
ty read both of the papers but as we
made some comments upon the article
we intended to publish it. We hope
that Mr.. Leavell read what we SAID
and that we may all soon get together
and that something may be done very
soon toward making some improve
ments at Rosemont. We are very sure
if the people can just be got together
and have some one to lead the way
that the. money necessary will be
forth coming even if we do have to
think in thousands as Mr.. Leavell
saws. There is not citizen in the
town who has not personal interest
in this place and if he should be 60
fortunate just now not to have, 1t
will not be long before he will have.
There is not a. home in which there is
not vacant chair, and should there
not be now, the time will soon come
when there will be the vacant chair.
Sooner or later we must all pass this
way. Why not come together on a
common ground and all pull together
and make this place beautiful IN
name, also beautiful in reality. We
can do it and we will if the trustees
will just take the people who have
loved ones there into their confidence
and ask them and permit them to
help.

WHITMIRE TEAM WINS
FROM WEST END

Newberry, June 2.-One OF the
BEST baseball games of the season was
played before a large crowd at the
West End park this afternoon be-
tween the strong Whitmire team and
the West End mill team. A pitchers
duel was staged between Luther and
Gillian. The West End team staged a
thrilling rally in the ninth inning but
was liable to overcome the lead of the
visitors. In this inning Bowen, first
man up for the West End, drove the
ball down the third base line for two
bases. Thomas, next up, drove the
ball down the third base line for a
home run, scoring Bowen ahead OF
him. The Whitmire team is one of
the strongest teams seen in Newberry
this sason. The individual star of the
game was Hamilton, second baseman
for Whitmire.

BURNING TWO HOMES
Arrested Near Ponotoc after being
traiied by bloodhounds.

pontotoc.--Frank Blaylock's resi-
dence, five miles east of Pontotoc,
was burned while the family was
away. There was but little insuanree
and the blow fell heavily on him as
he had recently bought the home He
was very sure that the burning was
,incediary but no clew could be found.
The following night Andrew Wealth
erly, close neighbor lost his new
barn with all of his corn and food
for his next years supply.
He was so sure that it was inceil-
diary that he instructed Sheriff Blayl
lock to secure blood hounds at any
cost and try to trace the parties who
set the house afire. The neighbors
believed that both burnings were in
cendiary and were anxious to know
for sure as. others feared that other
homes would be burned.
The dogs were taken to the scene
Of the burning and soon took up the
trAl. They followed where place
was found where chickens evidently
stolen from the barn before it was
fired were picked, cleaned an washed
From there the trail lead direct to
the house of one of the neighpors
When the dogs reached this home,
they went direct to the portico In
front of the house where some boys
were standing and reared up and
placed their front feet on the boys
shoulders and afterwards lay down,
implying that their work was done
The two boys, Watts Brothers, were
arrested by the sheriff and brought
to Pontotoc where they were placed
under thousand dollars each.
There is much excitement in the
neighborhood. The houses burned be-
longed to two very prominent farm
ers, men who have been very popular
and public spirited.
The burnings occurred near Bank
