wretch, with the disposition of wolf and
the jawbone of an ass makes merchandise of
the ignorance and race hatred to be found in
the lower orders of the city's popula-

capable to incite them to riot against the

Chinese emigration, the State prohibition of

C announcement that DR.. Luther r. Diclin-
on, editor and proprietor of the Planter and
'a,mer, a magazine, and prominent citizen
f Richmond, has been engaged for two
ears past in systematic course of forgeries,
sing forged Endorsements of Jeter & Dickin-
on, proprietors of the Religious Herald, to
egotiate notes Of his owu which he offered for
iscount at various banking institutions of
his city or sold to note brokers. He has
lso forged the Endorsements OF Rev. Dr.
george B. Taylor, Baptist missionary to
Tome, Italy, and Rev. Chase Taylor, Pro-
,ssor in Wake Forest College, North Caro-
ma, both Of whom are his brothers in. law. |
he fact that he was brother of Rev. DR..
|. E. Dickinson, the junior member of the
rm of Jeter & Dickinson. and was otherwise
D highly connected, dispelled all suspicion as
the genuineness of the forged signatures,
nd he might have continued his criminal
perations for long time to come but for the
,cent death of Rev. Dr. J. L. Jeter, the
.nior member of the firm CT Jeter & Dick
,son, which event rendered impossible the
irther use OF the firm name in negotiating
ans. A settlement of the affairs of the de-
sased DIR. Jeter led to the discovery of the
,rgeries. The forger, finding disclosure of
