Back in April of this year there was a hooded band of men over at Proc torville, in Robeson county, that took two defenseless women out of their homes, under the cover of darkness, exposed their persons and whipped them until the blood ran down their legs. It is said that the women were not of the type of citizenship that the hooded band desired for the com munity and the punishment was in flicted as a result of their sins to so- j ciety. Their homes were invaded and I they were taken from the companion ship of their children, one of the lit tle fellows being knocked over with a “billy” ; in the hands of one of the men. Three of these men were recog inzed, one a brother and one the hus band of one of the women. It was proven at the trial in Lumberton last week that they were members of the Ku. Klux Klan. After a hard fought legal battle the jury filed in and an nounced a verdict of “not guilty.” God punishes human beings for in fractions of His law and there is a hell that will amply take care of the violators. The State of North Caro lina is full of prisons and other modes of punishment for those who violate the privileges of society, and there are sufficient laws to cover every trans gression, yet this hooded band presum ed authority and they go without pun ishment. The horror and awfulness of this tragedy, for tragedy it is, cannot be adequately expressed in words or suf ficiently condemned by the Christian neople because of the poverty of the language we use. it is heinous, de plorable and inexcusable in any man ner. God alone can ndw redeem North Carolina and Robeson county from the terrible predicament into which we have fallen and may His just court surely ad speedinly bring the retribu tion that is deserved and in the man er most appropriate. It is beyond the pale of human activity. MORAL SUPPORT NEEDED. A few days ago there was a great gathering of road enthusiasts in Pitts- ' boro and in the coarse of the remarks! by the mayor of Durham, Dr. John S. Manning, he said, “Too many pro hibitionists are drinking liquor.” It is all too true and unless ).ve can come to the point where we are willing to abide by the same law that we want for the other fellow, there shall always be clashes and miscarriages of justice. A great rebellion is on in this country, in this State anti in this ;ounty because some men are serving time for an infraction of law that others also committed and are enjoy ing their freedom. It is no uncornmbn bccurrence to hear criticism of a trial justice, a mayor, policeman or a deputy sheriff because of the fact that some particu lar person (was taken into custody and dealt with according to the merits in the case. It is sickening and tire some. If you love your town, your county and your State. If you are sincere in wanting to see the laws obeyed, and the place in which you live of a high moral standard, then give your officials that moral support that they deserve. It doesn’t make any difference whe ther a law violator is a negro or a white man. If he is guilty punish him. If he is not then turn him free. Just because a man has money, influ ence, is of aristocratic family or other stamina back of him, he has no mor al right to override the laws and flaunt in the face of the courts a de termination “to do as I please/’ So long as this is permitted there will he rebellion, and the country people have already taken notice of how i1 is done in town. JUST A LITTLE PUSH. At the home of the editor is a large", intelligent Shepherd dog. He is a \ great fighter and is an easy victor be cause of his heavy coat of hair and , suppleness. He first banters and with the least show of resistance a fight is on. Then, too, if he is given to un derstand that he is acknowledged a superior there is no fight, unless he is encouraged just a little by a bystand er, and then he will fight anyway. 1 A few days ago he was to “bounce” the anatomy of “Jack”, the faithful pup of the mayor. Hon. A. C. Ray. Hearing it discussed it occur red to us just how small a push will start things. The air may be charg ed /with possibilities, but it takes a small push to start things. Two boys were standing facing each other in a small ring on very thin ice. They were so intent that they seemer to care for nothing else. \ flight push from a passirg wag was followed by a few w'M clutches i, the air and be«i jar?eu un<r<rpi a’*d compromising l .v entangled on the cold, cruel unsympathetic ite. Some years ago the great Panama canal was declared ready for traffic. To start things properly the presi dent of the United States must be the first operator. So a line with a push button was installed in the White House at Washington for the purpose. At the proper time the President pushed the button and the great locks swung open. # . The greatest push an individual needs is that little mental push. Some times it comes from a pair of laugh ing eyes. Often it is the product of a handshake. Then again, it is often just that inner something that ener gizes your talents and starts you on big things. No one ever gets very far without some kick to his mental machinery. The difference between a ten thous and dollar man and a five thousand dollar man is so slight that common observers can’t see the difference. It's that little mental push that brings the extra five thousand dollars. Mental push is not marketable. An old Egyptian king once tried to buy knowledge from Euclid but was told “there is no royal road to learning.” There are times when “silence is golden” and together with stillness are prime requisites. One never ex pects much from the garrulous and brains are not usually much in evid ence where everyone is trying to talk at the same time. Gabfests go to the loudest talkers, but great achieve ments grow out of quiet thought. Country boys have risen to finan cial pedestals and maulers of rails have led in national affairs. The right mental push puts energy into action when needed. Such men have left names to encourage youth. When ev ery effort expresses the motive of the individual he will strive for the nobl est conduct. That means putting the right push into the mind and develop ing according to the noblest purposes I in life. Exercise and develop that mental push with which you have been en dowed and there will be no cause for the many embarrassments that attempt you. It is said there is nothing strange in names. How about Rached Tiger, in Swain county, suing Odie Tiger, her husband, for divorce. It is not; known how many little tigers they j have at home, i * ! Editors of newspapers get things mixed up as well as other people, and , they sometimes make very foolish mis- | takes. For instance, on page four of i the Carolina Banner of July 17th, is quite a ridiculous one. It says, “The price of the Banner is the Saiye Bili-, ousness. headaches, colds and La- I grippe.” If we have to pay that price ¥g semi-annual remnant AND CLEARANCE SALE!

Both parties, Democrats and Repub licans, claim that there will be no wet plank in either platform. Why not settle the prohibition question one way or Hie other. Why not insert the !wet plank and let the people of the country settle the question for good and for all time. A New York city man is crying for the old-fashioned pone of corn bread that used to be ground by water pow er and cooked by the old time colored mammy. He should come down to Chatham county where he can find the best corn bread in the world and cooked by farmers’ wives, the best of cooks. The world has gone crazy mad over automobiles. The Fords recently turned out over 6,000 tin lizzies in one day. That’s only one make of car. Here in North Carolina 165,000 tags have been sold up to last Wed nesday.
