SOUTHERN WHITE MAN
INVADES HOME TO SHOOT
COLORED MAN’S WIPE
Southern Daily Comments Editorially
Upon the Crime and Asks for
Justice Against Brutal
Murderer
(N. A. A. C. P. Press Service)
The story of a murder committed
by a Southern white man of South
Carolina, upon the wife of a peace
able and respected colored man, was
forwarded by the N. A. A. C. P. from
the Anderson, S. C., Daily Mail of
December 8. The white murderer,
Joe Wright, not only deliberately
killed the colored woman but accid
entally wounded one of her children.
Wright hae been charged by the
colored husband about a year ago, of
a crime against hit wife: The col
ored man had Wright indicted on
charges of such a crime and the case
had been twice postponed. It was
due to be heard before the court of
general sessions at Abbeville, in
Janaury.
On December 6, Wright who was
motoring with some friends, all of
whom having gotten whiskey, stopped
before the colored man’s home.
Wright said, according to the Ander
son Daily Mail:
“I generally drive my own car, but
I was a little too full, and I got one
of the boys to drive for me. I was
riding and telling him which way to
go. I had the car stopped and they
thought, I guess, that I had gone in
there for some whiskey.
“I went in and did what I intended
to do and came back out, and got in
the car and told them to drive on. I
told ’em that I had killed a dam nig
ger woman.”
Te colored man, his wife and their
children were seated at dinner when
the white man burst into the room,
and with the question: “Where’s Re
becca?” opened fire and continued
shooting while the woman jumped up
and ran out of the door. Wright
went to the door and continued fir
ing, hacking out then and rejoining
his companions.
The Anderson Daily Mail, com
menting editorially upon the crime,
asks for justice against the murderer,
and says:
“It is useless for us to tell of what
would have happened had the posi
tions been reversed—had it been a
Negro man who entered the home of
a white man and committed such a
crime—for everyone knows what
would have happened. We do not
want, with maudlin sentiment, to at
tempt to prejudice the case against
the prisoner; nor do we want to array
class and color in such a manner as
to argue for his acquittal. We do,
though, want to remind those from
whom there has always arisen such
a howl for the observance of the law,
that here is an opportunity to prove
sincerity.”
| THE GLORIOUS GOLDEN WEST!
—
Most of us have been poor, one time
or another, out here in the boundless
West, and been up against all kinds
of rocky roads and hard propositions.
We have not always had pie for din
ner, porterhouse steak for supper, or
spike-tailed coats and decollete gowns
for evening receptions, where the
floral decorations cost a fortune. We
have pioneered and blazed the trails
over deserts and across mountains,
fighting our way against heavy odds
to wrest this great western empire
from the wild and odoriferous red
skin, the yelping coyote and the gov
ernment, and in turning it into a
land of plenty, where milk and honey
sprout spontaneous from the fertile
valleys and gold and silver rolls
gleaming down the mountain sides,
where fruit and flowers vie in almost
tropical luxuriance, where the climate
will grow positively anything—whisk
ers on the statute of Liberty Enlight
ening the World, if she would but
hike toward the setting sun—where
the placid Pacific cools the heated
brows of great cities and growing
hamlets, we have bumped up against
vicissitudes that would have daunted
hearts less strong and minds that
were weak.
More often in the days that are
past have we ridden bronchos than
automobiles, and it is little we know
about the ethics of the New York four
hundred, and still less about the rot
tenness and immorality of Newport’s
high society, but we have learned
things from Nature and from Na
ture’s God of far more value to the
human race and to the upbuilding of
a nation so great that the pulse of the
world throbs and is regulated by it.
The West is the home of brave men
and true women. Our shirt bosoms
may not shine with rare diamonds,
but beneath them beat hearts of gold.
We of the West have been thrown in
constant contact with Nature and
with God’s own handiwork of ocean,
mountain and plan, and the vastness
and sublimity of it all have become
a part of ourselves.
LINCOLN’S LETTER
Dear Madam:—I have been shown
in the files of the war department a
statement of the adjutant general of
Massachusetts that you are the moth
er of five sons who have died glori
ously In the field of battle. I feel
how weak and fruitless must be any
words of mine which should attempt
to beguile you from the grief of a
loss so overwhelming. But I cannot
refrain from tendering to you the
consolation that may be found in the
thanks of the republic they died to
save. I pray that our Heavenly
Father may assuage the anguish of
your bereavement, and leave you only
the cherished memory of the loved
and lost, and the solemn pride that
must be yours to have laid so costly
a sacrifice upon the altar of free- ,
dom.
Yours very sincerly and respect-1
fully, ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
AIR MAIL SERVICE
READY FOR WINTER
Cross-Continent Flying to Go
on Unhampered.
Omaha.—An unprecedented contin
gency for the United States govern
ment, that of operuting the transcon
tinental air mall service throughout
the winter months, will be met satis
factorily If the already completed
plans of the government are carried
out, according to Carl F. Egge, general
superintendent of the air mall service.
Mr. Egge, at his headquarters here,
has announced that the cross-conti
nent flying service will go on regular
schedule, hampered only slightly, If
at all, by snowstorms and blizzards.
Every air mall flying base and emer
gency landing station has been
equipped with winter flying facilities,
“monkey suits” for pilots, stoves to
heat water and gasoline, protection of
beacon lights, and sklls to be attached
to the landing gear In case heavy
snowfalls prevent the use of wheels.
The “monkey suit,” Mr. Egge ex
plained, has been adopted after exten
sive experimenting with various fly
ing garments. The suit, fur-lined, In
cludes everything from helmet to
socks. The electrically heated suit,
the air mall chief said, transmits heat
too rapidly, affording no even heat for
the comfort of pilots.
In addition the cockpit of every
plane will be heated by a pipe running
from the engine parallel to, and on
top of, the exhaust pipe. This new
arrangement, the speaker declared,
prevented fumes from entering the
tonneau, as was the case when the
cockpit was heated direct from the ex
haust pipe.
All main beacon lights, from Hazel
hurst field, New York, to San Fran
cisco, Cal., have been equipped with
plate glass housing, assuring pilots of
adequate guiding lights even In the
heaviest of storms.
The wheel landing gear, pilots have
found, can be used In case of a 10 or
12-lnch snowfall, but In excess of this,
the ski landing apparatus must be em
ployed. This winter landing appara
tus Is on hand at every field.
SAYS SUN IS OVER
BILLION YEARS OLD
Princeton Astronomer Accepts
Theory of Britisher.
Princeton, N. J.-Ten thousand
billion years probably are no longer
tlrnn the life of a star, Henry Norris
Russel), head of the department of
astronomy In Princeton university,
said when he voiced his agreement
with the theory recently advanced by
Professor Eddington and Doctor
Jeans, English astronomers.
“The sun has undoubtedly shone for
more than a billion years,” Professor
Russell said. “Assuming as Professor
Eddington does thut matter In the In
terior of stars may be gradually con
verted Into energy to supply these
losses, the life of a star probably ex
ceeds ten thousand billion years.
“Having accepted tills, a serious
difficulty regarding the origin of the
solar system Is removed. The best
hypothesis so far is that which as
sumes that planets owe their exist
ence to eruptions from the sun pro
duced by the close approach of anoth
er star to the sun. This was first sug
gested by Professors Chamberlin and
Moulton of the University of Chi
cago.”
Professor Russell explained how It
could be demonstrated that the ap
proach of one star close enough to
another to cause eruptions would be
an excessively rare occurrence. If the
stars have been shining for only a few
hundred million yeurs, few Indeed
would have planetary systems around
them, he said, adding that If, as Pro
fessor Eddington suggests, the stars
have existed 100,000 times longer than
this. It Is probable thut large numbers
of stars are attended by planets.
“We have no hope at present of
finding out which ones are the centers
of such systems, for the planets are
so small In comparison with the Inter
stellar distances that no human means
of observation could detect the ones
like those In our system If they re
volved about eveti the nearest star,”
Professor Russell said.
"Among a large number of plane
tary systems there would probably be
many planets which were potentially
habitable, having the proper tempera
ture and suitable supplies of air and
water. We can hardly say what
chances there are that life would ac
tually exist on such planets, because
we know virtually nothing of how life
originated on the earth. The forms
which life might take on another
planet are of course matters of pure
speculation.
“It may be added that although the
new point of view makes It probable
enough that life has existed or will
exist In many places in the sidereal
universe we are not yet In a position
to say how many of these would occur
at the same time. It Is fairly likely
that the time during which any planet
is actually the abode of life Is but a
small fraction of the life of the star
about which It revolves."

THE LORD’S PRAYER
After this manner therefore pray
ye:
Our Father which art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread. And forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our debtors. And
lead us not into temptation, but de
liver us from evil; for Thine is the
kingdom, and the power and the glory
forever. Amen.—Matthew 6:9-13.
TO HUSBAND AND WIFE
Preserve sacredly the privacies of
your own house, your married state
and your heart. Let no father or
mother or sister or brother ever pre
sume to come between you or share
the joys or sorrows that belong to
you two alone.
With mutual help build your quiet
world, not allowing your dearest
earthly friend to be the confidant of
aught that concerns your domestic
peace. Let moments of alienation, if
they occur, be healed at once. Never,
no never, speak of it outside; but to
each other confess, and all will come
out right. Never let the morrow’s
and renew your vow. It will do you
good; and thereby your minds will
grow together contented in that love
which is stronger than death, and
you will be truly one.—Anonymous.
Most any task looks impossible to
a lazy man.
