" We are told, professor, (?) that you
are planning to move to Sumter, our
nome city That's a fine place for an
honest man to niake good but, oh, well,
you will find out if you go.
There is no doubt about it, there is
too much crime among our people.
We do not hold that there is more
among us than any other, but we no
hold that there is too much arnon?:
the Negro race matters not how
much other peopie commit. One thing
accounts for a deal of convictions
which send many of our young men to
the chaingang, is lack of employment,
which causes them to be sentenced as
vagrants.^ We venture the assertion
that many young men who are on the j
city chaingang are there because they j
were out of employment and could not
find employment, is why they were
not engaged in some kind of work. In
these readjustments to pre-war condi
tions, when the city and county can
work the streets and county roads
with convict labor and a few guards to
see that they do labor, much che. i 0.'
than they can hire it done, it Vou d
pay our honest young men to be ve.y
careful how they loiter around on t e
streets in company with the don't-care
kind. Too, we would admonish the
ministers and other men and women
to help secure employment for our
boys. If you cannot throw more busii
ness in the wav of pur doctors an/i
mtsihess men, solicit ot those whose
business you do support, work for the
boys, and try to keep them off the
streets.
A Real Building and Loan
Association.
On the opposite page we had the
pleasure ia1'"* week, and' it is repeated
this week, to publish the announce
ment of a "Real" race building and
loan association. We invite the at
tention of our readers to this an
nouncement, and advise all who can.
as well as those who fee] that they
cannot, to subscribe for shares in the
same.
This building and loan association is
duly organized under the laws OL South
Carolina, and each person subscribing
to shares will be fully protected. The
officers and board of directors are all
honest a~d upright men of various
walks of life, who see the shortcom
ings of our people in Columbia and
have decided to adi to our racial ad
vancement Jn the commercial world.
This is one of the long needed ven
tures for our people which should
meet the approval of every colored
citizen and should be subscribed to by
every one.
With Mr. N. H. Collins as president.
Dr. L. M. Daniels, vice president ; Dr.
A. E. Huggins, secretary and Mr. H. E.
Taylor treasurer, there can be no
failure, and no one should entertain
such an idea.
Books of subscription will open to
day, Saturday, September 3rd, and at
least 500 shares should be sold. Men^
women and children should obligate!
themselves today and get in the chan-!
nel of prosperity by taking out shares*
in this concern. Read^the announce
ment for terms and comply.
"Crimes Among Negroes."
The Columbia State, in its issue of
August.27th, conveys the idea ?hat
Negroes are too well supplied with
deadly weapons. Reading between
the lines of this short editorial, one
would but conclude thar The State is
hinting that the law enforcers should
see that less fire arms are in posses
sion of Negroes. 'Tis true that within
a few days two homecides were re
ported from Newberry and that two
other Negroes were killed, all by Ne
groes. Such has not happened before
in many days, and the like may not
happen again in many years to come,
and The Indicator hopes will not hap
pen again within or out the borders of
the old Palmetto State. But to the

casual thinker, is not lynchings or
attempted lynchings, whether it be of
whites or blacks, a matter that should
sain the attention of our leading edi
tors in preference to a dozen acciden
tal or planned killings of Negroes by
Negroes? The killing ol' a dozen Ne
groes, accidental or intentional, by Ne
groes, cannot by any means be painted
as heinous, disorderly or a violation of
law and order as did the one lynching
at McCormick a few Sundays ago by
those who make the laws and are en
trusted to their keeping. And what
about the lynching of Allen at Chapia
last week? Death, of course, should
have been his reward if the published
statements be true, and we presume
they are, but what does the law of
South Carolina say about it? Some Ne
groes in South Carolina, a< in every
other State, are violators of the law,
but what about a mob of a thousand or
more of unmasked men in the broad
daylight, taking a prisoner from mea
who are sworn to protect him at the
peril of their own lives, and yet not
a single man could be identified by tbe
officers? This is a case that The
State, like the Columbia Record,
should so strongly deal with that the
Governor and other officers would feel
it just as much their duty to go the
limit to have the constituents 0f that
mob brought to justice, just as readily
as the superintendent of the state
prison will offer rewards for escaped
convicts entrusted to their keeping
Room Wanted- .Notify
The Columbia Record of August
25th spoke out, as all newspapers
should, against mob rule, a course
which all law-abiding citizens, white
and black, heartily endorse. The
Record has made many new friends by
its new decision to uphold law and or
der, and the paper that fails to follow
its course, not only will it lose friends,
but it will fail to do the greatest good
to all the people it can.
Tue Indicator contends that the
majesty of the law should be upheld,
irrespective to the man or race in
volved. Otherwise laws are not,
needed.
If attention must be directed to a?
few Negroes who destroy ? few among !
themselves and attempt to evade the
officers or willingly give themselves up
to the law, what, in the name of law
and order, is to be expected when
thousands of. white men trample the
very laws they themselves make, un- '
der the dust, and defy the officers? (
The end is not yet.
