England used to send her bad men
to Botany Bay We are tired of hay
ing to use lynch law for their outrages.
Lynch law does not reform or intlm-
idate. There have been more of
these horrible outrages within the
past year than any year since the war.
And yet there are many good ne
groes, negroes whom we respect and
love to befriend, and there is the
trouble with Bishop Turner'S plan.
He wants the good ones to go and
set up government. We want them
to stay and the bad ones to so, and
that would take a large majority.
At all events they should be thinned
out, and we will give the bishop
choice and help him to thin them.
It is the commonest sentiment Of our
people that the whites and the blacks
cannot live together in peace much
longer. The generation that is now
coming on right out of the schools is
worse than the last. Every town is
full of young negroes who are vaga-
bonds and they keep the police con-
tinually on the watch. The jail and the
calaboose are never without boarders.
Over five hundred colored convicts
have been sent to the changing dur
ing the last twelve months When
will this thing stop?
Their own race, with few ezcep-
tons, don't seem to be much con-
cerned about it. I overheard one
telling his experience as a convict, and
he had good time. He said: :Now,
children, you know I was a trusty, I
was. I diaent wear no spurs nor
chains. I had charge of de dogs,
and when a negro got away my boss
holler for me, and jump for de
mules and put de saddles on quick
and ontie de dogs, and away we 60.
We had two dogs-a big long cared
houn' dog, and a small dog, sorter
half fee, and short tail. Dey was
both powerful good track dogs. One
mornin' about deybreak de 'larm was
given, two niggers got away. De
boss call me and I got de mules and
de dogs quick, and be bounce on one
mule and I bounce on de other and
we let de dogs smell of de niggers'
bunk whar dey sleep and den put 'em
on de track and away we go. De mig
gers and de dogs run and we keep up
behind. De niggers run and de dogs
run. Bime by de track got hotter
and hotter and dc niggers run and
de dogs run. De ole houn' opens his
mouth wide and say come on, come
on, and after we had run 'em about
four miles de ole dog change his tune
and we knowed dem niggers was
freed. Shore enuff, when we got dar,
de two niggers was up in post oak
setten on limb. De ole houn' was
settin' off piece a-lookin' up in de

settin' on his short tail and he say,

whites than negroes in this State, and
yet the negroes commit nine times

paper on the race problem by hu-

It was written some years ago, and
he then thought that education would
solve it. He is mistaken. Crime
among the negroes increases with
their education. It does that at the
North among the whites. Their
criminals are nearly as numerous, ac-
cording to population, as among the
negroes at the South. Bishop Tur-
ner is very smart colored man, and
is good man, and we see that he

and beg me for favors? You are not compelled to come"
 "We are compelled to come, want drives us to it," the minister replied. "As to it being a law of business to govern profits by necessity, have very strong doubts. It is not the law of honest business am sure. There is wide difference between necessity and demand-at least between the necessi- ties of such times as these and the de- mands of ordinary times. In the mar kets of the world we sell our products for all they will bring, and in that mar ket you have perfect right to so dis pose of your money. But we do not sell our produce at exorbitant prices. When we find fellow creature suf- fering the pangs of hunger we do not compel him to pay us his last cent for morsel of food. But that is the prin- ciple upon which you work, MT. Mills, and cannot think it far short of rob- bery."
 Mills flushed with anger, but seeing that it was useless to argue, and per haps not being disposed to do so any way, let the matter drop, and sending out to have the remains of the old man removed, resumed the order of business and went on with his ruthless, heartless, grinding process.

CHAPTER XVI

GREEN MAKES ANOTHER LOAN.
 After short delay John Greens turn came and he was ushered into MT. Mills private office. Harry Pearson was there, and he received Green with a welcoming smile as he rose and said:
 ''Mr. Green, am sorry you have been delayed so long, but it could not be helped. pleaded with my friend Mills to make an exception of your case, on account of your sick wife, and bring you in before your turn, but MT. Mills is very conscientious and systematic in his business affairs, and he refused to do it. Said perhaps some of the others were in as close places as you were, etc. However, now that you are here, hope MT. Mills will make as much haste as possible and let you go."
 John murmured his thanks for all this interest on the part of Pearson, then turning to Mills said:
 ''I suppose you are aware of the ob- ject of my visit?"
 Certainly" said Mills. "You want money, and the first thing to do is to list the property you propose to give as security. Just call over the articles while I note them down."
 John named over the articles to- Fether with description of each oaa.

 put my handkerchief to my lips it came hway with crimson stain-the stains, however, were paint. "Yes," said I, carelessly, answering the look detected in the surrounding faces, "I'm booked for the next world.' Finally the game began, and, for 8 little, won; but as the night advanced and the liquor which I appeared to drink, but did not, apparently rose to my head, I saw that my luck had turned, until at eleven o'clock I had lost considerable amount.
 When this point was reached, re- fused to play more, although I an nounced had twice the sum had lost yet remaining, and swore that would go to my bed and try it again when blessed with better luck.
 Presently a servant appeared who was to show me to my room.
 '"Take the gentleman to room No. 5, |" said the man I had played against. Hell sleep sound there, and there's g good lock on the door, so that he will feel safe when once inside"
 Growing a reply, I followed my guide, villainous-looking negro, to the third floor, and through long hall to room at the end of the house.
