tng-Our Plan the Only Fise That
VIII Werk and Win.
From the Okolona States, August 20.
The race question was recent ly
sprung in Yazoo county, Miss.
A white man named Henry NJ. Dixon
wanted tho Office Of Sheriff.
He sought it in the Democratic Con-
yention and was defeated.
Thereupon he announced himself as
an independent candidate.
There was no Radical in the field and
therefore he received the unanimous
backing Of the blacks.
Anything to defeat the Democra-
cy I" is the shibboleth of Squash, Pomp
and Sambo. -.
The people of Yazoo had been
subjected to the rule of the African
race.
They knew just what 1t meant, and
when they broke their yoke and letters
in 1875 they swore by the Almighty
that the negro should never hold the
upper hand in that county again.
When Dixon began to mass his dusky
horder's, the wealth, the culture, the
worth, the bone and the sinew of the
county rose in their royal strength and
majesty of their Caucasian blood, and
commanded him to withdraw from the
contest.
He withdrew, end Yazoo county was
saved from q long, bloody, internal
epoch ofsavagery and crime.
And good men here and everywhere
on earth will thank the God Of Justice
and of Mercy that it was so.
But the Stalwarts Of Yankeeaom-the
Blind.

Right here and now, before We enter
upon the argument, we wish these Stal.
warts to distinctly understand that theil
birthstone threats and clustering oaths
have no terrors for us.
We defy them to do their worst and
their wickedest, but would caution
them to have care how they interfer.
in this Yazoo coup d'etat.
1t is no concern of theirs.
Nor will they bs permitted to make il
cir concern.
We say to them, and to all who sym
paIhize with them
HANDS OFF!
Mississippi is Nation, and no for
eign State shall lay finger on heI
royal robes without suffering the conse
quence.
No outside intermeddling will be tol
erated-not for ten minutes.
Mind that!
Turning now to the people Of Yazot
county, of Mississippi, of the whole broad
South, we ask:
Where in the name Of high heaven il
this thing to end!
Must we forever submit to negro su
fr,nacy on the one hand, or wink a
