STATES RIGHTS
SHOULD CEASE !
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.

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.
