IN SOME CASES Regardless of liow the average person feels about states rights, and as repugnant as the idea would be to many to have national statutes and national enforcement which would displace the sovereignty of the sev eral commonwealths the fact remains that in at least some states federal intervention would be deemed fair and proper, and especially is this argument true in support of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill. In an able discourse on this sub ject The Greenville News last Sun day editorialized as follows: With the opening of hearings this week before the Senate judiciary committee on the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, attention will be directed again to the efforts that have been made over the last decade to invoke federal powers in the pun ishment of lynchers. The present measure is very simi lar to the Dyer bill which passed the House in 1922 and was defeated only by a filibuster in the Senate. Apparently there is a strong senti ment for its passage today, ana while there are many citizens who look with doubt upon this move to inject federal authority further in to state affairs, it must be conceded that the trend of events in the last year or so in bringing federal powers more vigorously into the ef fort to capture and punish criminals enhances the chance of enactment of the pending bill. The measure does not make lynch ing itself a federal offense, merely defining the crime as the act of any "mob or riotous assemblage composed of three or more persons acting in concert, without authority or iaw, for the purpose of depriving any person ot his life or doing him physi cal injury." Such a definition, it would seem, would cover many Chica go gangsters slaying as well as acts of mobs of citizens of otherwise good 8tandin^^^^jg| ^(Funder (he laws of tne siaxe, but only if state officers are lax in prosecution or jurors obtainable for a state court are opposed to punish ment for the lynching. In addition, however, the measure does make it a federal offense for state or local officers to fail to make all diligent efforts to protect a person from injury at hands of a mob, and penalty is a fine up to $5000, or imprisonment up to five years or both. Any county in which a person is killed by a mob would be fined $10,000 to be collected by the federal authorities, who are given the right to collect by property levy, mandamus or other appropriate measures. The fine goes to the victim’s dependents. The measure is, naturally, objec tionable to those who sincerely feel that it is an improper invasion ol state judicial processes by the fed eral gevernment. But it must be ad mitted that the laxness of state au thorities in punishing such crimes, and particularly instances of open declaration of approval of a lynch ing by the governor of a state, strengthen the case for such a measure. It is difficult to get away from the argument that if states deliberately fail to make proper ef forts for the protection of citizens, federal authority should be invoked. Transylvania isn’t such a bad place after all, when compared with other towns in North Carolina. As a matter of proof, we point to a neighboring western county in which court opened Monday with five murder cases on the docket, plus a hundred or more other criminal charges. - "fi i Several sections of North, and South Carolina seem inclined to claim Basil Banghart as a former resident. Anybody can have him in so far as we’re concerned. While he did hang out in this county for a few months we didn't raise him, thank goodness. -- i Federal man coming into the mountains to collect ?2 on each gal lon of moonshine, according to The | Morganton News-Herald. Reminds us of an old recipe about making rab- j bit dumplings—“First, catch a rice fat rabbit." There will be a murderer in the upper end of the county one of these, bright mornings, and no one will know who he is. No semblance of a safety flash is to be seen at the “curve trestle" above Rosmar. where the highway threads under the rail road—evidently destroyed by fel lows who had nothing else to do. Some motorists will be killed there j due to wantonness and the person who destroyed the guard-flash spots ■ will in reality be a murderer. Another week £ono by and no| Chamber of Commerce started. Won der if that fellow Fdyssoux hypno tised any of us and forgot to “snap his finger.” Days come and go and the swim ming pool stays in about the same condition—lots of hole and nothing' permanent. Hope we have not been asteep at the switch and let this all important project fall through. Gun-toting vent out way ahead of of the hoop-skirt and bustle, but one is almost led to believe that it will have to again become stylish in or der to have protection of one’s aelf and property. Hold-ups, kidnapipgs, and other practices are entirely too numerous and are getting too close home for comfort Calamity would very probably follow in the wake of promiscuous use of firearms, but at least they would give a feeling and a certain degree of protection. Two hundred fanners in North Carolina who kept accurate cost sheets on chickens find that an aver age of $U7 per hen, over and above all home grown and bought feeds was realized. Transylvania county does not furnish enough eggs for use in this county, three to four thousand dozens each week being 1 bought by local concerns, some fox local sales and others to supply customers who look to Brevard and Transylvania county business houses for eggs. Think it over....There ought to. be some way to remedy this condition. __— —— ! OAKLAND NEWS (By Mrs. Lee F.
