Hatchings He has written a
letter giving Joyner
and is going to take it to you to

about there money in it to
print it. He was told that we
knew nothing about it, not
caring to discuss the matter with
him, we left him and went to
the office, not anticipating at the
time that he was the forerunner
to feel the way for what was to
follow.
The same afternoon a little
before o'clock Capt, Hutchings
came to The Reflector office and
asked for a private conference
with the editor. This was given
him, and he said he had written
an open letter to Mr, Joyner and
asked if he could get it printed
in The Reflector. We asked to
be shown the letter, when he
said it was in his desk at the
warehouse. We told him it
would be impossible to say
whether the letter would be
printed in The Reflector until
we had read it to see what it
contained. He then said two
other papers
were going to print it for him,
but he preferred it to appear
first in The Reflector. told
him other papers could do as
they pleased, but no answer
would be made to printing any-
thing in The Reflector until we
had first it.
He then asked if we would
meet him at the warehouse that

We would like to know what is

very important meeting called

the business men had entered
upon a Rip Van Winkle sleep
and were not aware that some
thing was being; done for
future development of Greenville.

I to ask a in that
occurs mind once
in awhile, but is never answer
ed satisfactorily, and if any of
your official readers can answer
it I would be glad to hear from
him.
Why is a law that is for the

haven't enough moral strength
to protect themselves, suspended
on special occasions I have it-
mind the at the c
val and circus which were
here.
If a few shooting a
game of a thrower
a few young white men playing
a game of poker at ante
off in some quiet place where
chances are equal to all
are caught they are prompt
nabbed and fined a large sum
or sent up to serve on the chain
gang. They were gambling in
violation of our town and State
laws, and that is perfectly right.
If a carnival or a circus comes
to town and runs three or four
skin games, where there is a
semblance of gambling but never
a chance to win, with
robbing the crowds who have
come out to see the show, play-
on one of man's greatest
of taking a
is said. Thus
the law is suspended for the
to rob our citizens, those
law was to protect,
some of whom are too dense to
know that they didn't have an
equal chance to win, even after
they had lost.
Why is this so Is it the petty
little license that causes our
officials to violate the State law
in suspending it, WHERE THEY
HAVE NO RIGHT Or is It

ready being overrun by the

keep them from the seats of the
white people and even the ladies.
At this juncture J. T. decided to

direction of the church and, to
the amazement of men who
drew near. entered, and with
a motion of his hand said be
quiet. Then he went through the
crowded house and up the aisle
without removing his hat. The
preacher, of course, saw him and
knew something was amiss and
discontinued reading his hymn.

the vote already received be
transferred to another Or if
two more candidates can later
in the contest combine their
votes against a leader To both
of these questions the answer is
no. Votes once recorded and
cast in the lock-box prepared for
them cannot be changed. If a
candidate withdraws from the
race the vote of that candidate
cannot be counted for anyone
else, nor can there be any com-
of votes by two or more
candidates.
It is a fair and open contest,
and the piano is to be awarded
for the largest number of votes
secured by getting subscriptions
for The Reflector. Only one
candidate can win the piano, and
that one must have the largest
number of votes, but all the
others who work in the
