Cling to Those who cling to You.

There are many friends of summer,
Who are kind while flowers bloom,
But when winter chills the blossoms,
They depart with the perfume.
On tha broad highway OF action
. Friends of worth are far and few;
So when one has proved his friendship,
Cling to him who clings to you.
Do not harshly judge your neighbor,
Do not deem his life untrue,
If he makes no great pretentions.
Deeds are great though words are few.
Those who. stand amid the tempest,
Firm as when the skies are blue,
Will be friends while life endureth,
Cling to those who cling to you.
When you see worthy brother
Buffeting the stormy main,
Lend o helping band fraternal,
Till he reach the shore again.
Don't. desert the old and tried friend
When misfortune comes in view,
For he then needs friendships comforts,
Cling to those who cling to you.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

Twenty-slx persons arrested as Ku-Kllx

their guilt, and been condemned to lin
tied terms OF Imprisonment. These par
ties We're the mere instruments Of other
men, and their punishment has been tenn

Their families must endure the ccrse-

will probably discover hereafter that tie

the false impression that their protectors

the children Of these Ku-hlUx viii be, Ike
the fathers, law-breakers and pests. Who
is responsible? The answer is at hand,
that society IS Itself to blame; for i:
teaches the unjust lesson, and prac-
tees the wicked policy that the col

treatment that white people are. Sensi-
bic men denounce the negroes, and stupid
people take this denunciation as a warrant
that they may abuse the race that is
abused by the better class of society. Mr.
Singleton and the Tines are the really
guilty parties, for they assert things
against the colored folks that provoke the
lower order Of their own partisans to
pursue the negroes as enemies. If what
