SOUTH CAROLINA's GOVERNOR.


lynching more than forty years ago,
We did not expect to live to see in
our day the consummation of our
hopes against this browning infamy
OF the age. We voiced the cry
Lynch law must co." and for years
carried detailed list of the lynch
ings as they occurred 1t is an ak
iomatic rule that faction is equal
to reaction in a contrary direction.
that the fires of intolerance against
the anti-lynching elements and
classes should be followed by sim
liar intolerance against the lynching
elements and classes.
This thought came to us as we
read a dispatch from Columbia,
South Carolina one of the worst
anti Negro States in the universe.
A distinguished South Carolinian,
Hon. John G Richardson, Governor
OF that Commonwealth, is quoted as
follows:
"There can be no justification Of
lynch law, l care not what the Of
Tense The lyncher disregards all
laws, splits in the face of the courts
and strikes at the very foundation
of our civilization; and the Aiken
lynching, which the evidence shows
was the act of very small group
of men is one Of the most bestial
that has happened in our Slate"
We challenge any official in the
United States to use more appro-
pirate words Of condemnation backed
up as these words have been by &C
ton He emphasizes these words by
additional ones. Here they are:
Il promised in my inaugural adj
dress that I would stand for the
majesty of the law. 7 meant what
said l promised the people of
South Carolina that if it lies within
my power the Aiken lynchers shall
30 brought to Justice"
This is no maudlin sentiment in
favor of colored people as such. 1t
is a bold declaration in favor of the
law Primarily troops ordered out
are to protect and uphold the law.
Secondarily they are to protect the
person charged with the commission
of an offense against the law.
Another dispatch from Columbia,
emphasizes and clinches the position
of this great Democratic statesman.
II is as follows:
Columbia. S c. February l.
\ concurrent resolution commend
ing Governor Richards for his ex'
pressed determination to bring 20
justice the Aiken lynchers was
',Harimcusly adopted by the Senate
TO-DAY and sent to the House.
"The resolution was read in the
House but immediate consideration
was not asked for. and it went to
The calendar for future action"
.Far-soeing Southerners are in
charge of this movement. No State
in the Union has gone so far in out
having this beastly infamy. If the
South will satisfy the country that
it is in earnest by ferreting out and
Furnishing the people guilty of this
heinous crime of murder of inno-
cents at Aiken then it will be salts
ractorially demonstrated that Fed
eral legislation upon this subject is
not needed In no other way can the
issue be met and in no other way
can the persistent efforts along this
line of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People
be frustrated and brought to naught.

COURT RULES AGAINST
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT

The Arizona state supreme court
ruled yesterday afternoon that the
writ of mandamus filed against State
Treasurer J. c.. Callaghan by the
board of directors Of state institu-
tions should be made permanent in
the case of the continuance of the
three cents a gallon gasoline tax. The
writ was asked to compel Callaghan
to credit the rs per cent fund of the
state and the county rs per cent fund
each with one quarter of the collected
tax.
With the exception of the one quar-
ter of the tax credited to the state
highway department, the court ruling
continues in detail the present dis
bursement of the gas tax and the levy
of 10 cents for each $100 assessed
valuation in the state.
In the case of 25 per cent of all
collected gasoline revenue the SUI
preme court opinion restricts further
expenditure of this amount by the
highway department although it pro-
vides that the amount shall continue
to be credited to the 25 per cent fund
The court held that the fund cannot
be expended until the state legislature
OlA lIo CApCilutIUAG tA1o4tA0NAT Ao
the $1,550,000 original appropriation
to the highway department through
this channel has been reached.
Officials familiar with the opera
ton and expenditures of the highway
department expressed the opinion that
the ruling of the court leaves the
highway department without any
funds except those finds which go to
the rs per cent fund to be expended
by the highway department with the
approval Of the county boards of
supervisors.
Under the decision of the court, ap-
proximately $430,000 will be col
lected in taxes and credited to the 25
per cent fund during the course of the
next. year which cannot be expended
until authorized by legislative action.
The supreme court ruled on two
questions as follows:
First, "are the various taxes i'm
posed by Chapter 76, Supra, still in
force, or have they ceased by opera
tion of the law" and
Second, ''if they are still in force,
are they now available in any part
for the use of the state highway de-
partment without further legisla-
ton ?"
