Koi the Lest time in many however. North Carolina will re port a negligible toll of accidents due to fireworks, thanks to the last General As sembly; bn. the list of tragedies traceable to carelessness, recklessness and rowdy ism mounted day by here at home and all ovei tlie nation. One of the saddest of tragedies in the news, however, was that of the strile and bloodshed in Palest ine One could not but be .shocker! by the stories of th • patrolling of Bethlehem, the city to which all Christendom looked on Christine day, by arnn red ears The news brought on that day of joy the sobering thought that the world is far from won for the Prince of Peace; that mankind Hill gropes and bungles: that the good will among men. of which the angels sang “o’er Bethle hem’s plan.” is still a prophecy, as it was; when was first proclaimed. ( CONFESSIONS The day alter the News and Observer published on as front page the story oi the arerst and confession of a Negro m connection vim tin burning of church and school buildings :.i toe < leoi gist c- annuo ity 'Vioricm. for the lynching of two Ne gro • vnen r tw , vomen, there appeared on tim -a ■ml page a comment on the en tit\ uo alleged oli-n.-e. In the same issue the ditorial, inconspicuous among advertisements on an inside page, was an item cone ruing tre repud a. • ion of the confessio and an allegation by lilt accused that the purported confes sion had been made under duress. It. •• the way of newspapers to play up of mimes and confessions, and to xs over lightly subsequent aow .- which easts doubt on 1 -util ieativ of the original sus}. • itn die cviim . Especially are mov-p rone to give little ‘play” to a withdrawal of a con fession. since in the . . ace the with drawal is not as “newsworthy” as the confession, and secondb once a confession is made a typ«. tin . is bound to be- regarded with skepticism, to scy the least. fn this case, however. It may safely be assumed that al, ut as much credence is <iM“ the repudiation as is due the con - foss-ia- ‘ evenhandedness would seem to > equi ro as much publicity to the for mer as the latter. The probability that the colon- man wa- •persuaded" into a confession is about a: great, we think, as is th«- probability of bis actu«. .guilt, considering the total sittiation. The peo ple of that community. including th o peace officers, appeared very anxious to pi-ow t-> the world that though horri bi<- lynching coukl be porpeMatod in it, and v ithuiit the slightest approach to ap prehension of the guilty, at least white people didn't burn Negro churches and Schools. \Vheihm cite Negro airested was guilty of the ip -on or not remains to be seen. ! i h. is, he is blameworthy to exactly ihe extent, of the crime committed, and shoe J be duly punished. But that four Negroes were ivnc.'.ed in that commun ity, three of whom were nob-even suspect ed of doing anything the white folks re garded as >rproper. and two of whom were- women inhabitants of the knightly South, is ; oi open to question. Nobody lias bee' •oresu.d for thai crime, though ii. was participated in by a mob made up of • goodb number of men, and wit nessed by ,i resident of the community not a member of the mob. To date there have been no confessions either to repu diate or let ■ t«nd. To date there has not b en a single person to whom suspicion pointed sufficiently to warrant an arrest. Confessions without arrests are rare, whether the confession is genuine or ex ti - -1 by force and threat. Flic saddest confe-vT -,{ has con out of Walton Com Georgia, is the confession that a ' v 1* quadruple K uching, a lynching .of three persons in nocent of any offense, two of them wom en, can go unpunished.
