Another Outrage.

the following article from the
Americas Times are Fred West and
Henry Brown, who were with
Green Mullen when he was shot
and killed by his wife.
Captain Cobb spent two DAYS
in Dawson in the interest of the
two negroes. The Times says:
Here is statement of facts that
would find few believers in the
North though similar episodes are
OF frequent occurrence all over the
South and will be, at least until
this generation of Southerners is
passed and gone.
Capt. John A. Cobb, of this
city, (and | write this without his
knowledge or consent) went ON a
mission of mercy TO an adjoining
town several days ago, spent his
own money, lost two days of his
time, worried with lawyers and
courts and exerted himself physi-
cally and mentally as much as a
man could in any emergency, and
for what? Why, to get cut of Jail
a worthless, trifing negro, who
had once work ed for him, who had
no possible claim whatever upon
him, to whom he owed no debt of
either money or kindness, but
who, when in the custody of the
law, turned with the natural in
stinct of the race, not to his own
color, but to white man, a demo-
crat. gentleman.
The negro is out, will go on his
way rejoicing and in a week fol,
get that Capt. Cobb or any other
white man ever did him a favor.
Capt. Cobb will himself wonder at
his own conduct--and do the same
thing again the first time circum-
stances make it seem proper.
Bill Arp says that he is tired of
bearing the burdens of the negro
race, So are the whites all over
the South, but this generation will
never cease to do it, however much
it may be maligned by the North.
