mattox, in April, 1865, struck the tree
and splitit nearly to the roots. The
next morning General Lee surrendered
about a mile from Mr.. Inge's house, in

being left on the Inge place From that
stump sprout grew. and now tho
sprout is an apple tree nearly as large
as was the original. On tho new tree

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
The Crime Of Unlawful Violence Resented

The Crime Of Unlawful Violence Resented
by Unlawful Violence
ST. Louis RepubHcl
The almost simultaneous raping
of two white women by Afro-Amer-
leans a, Oklahoma City has caused
a serious difference Of opinion, due
to the difference Of standpoint.
While the majority Of negroes do
not approve rape per Sc as a prac-
tice, there is a considerable minor
ity of them who consider the rape
of whitewomenap privilege which,
after its exercise, they are to be de-
Tended at all hazards by all men,
bers Of theirrace. And tothisview,
after the rape has been committed,
the majority is inclined to yield.
II the brute who committed the un-
speakable crime is murdered in re-
venge for it, he is looked upon as
martyr to his race. And so among
negroes the question Of rape now
threatens to become a question Of
race privilege, in which all negroes
are expected to rally to the support
Of the one threatened with martyr
dom to the Afro-American principle
Of miscegenation miscogenatior
peaceable if possible, forciblo il
necessary.

ing negroes are thus arrayed on th'

ORIGIN or OUR FLAG.

The Fourteenth Day of June Now Known
rs "Tlag Day"
Demorest's Magaznel
AS our existence as a nation had
its origin in the English colonies,
so our national eusign had for its
basis the flag Of England the moth
er country from which the colonies
reyolted. The yoke was shaken
off, but the impress remains on our
characters, the flag has been repu-
dated, but the colors were retained.
The English flag was the one in
use in The Anglo-Sazon settlements
in America from the time Of the
arrival Of the MayAower until Jan
uary, l776. 1t was q red flag with
e blue canton, or corner, on which
was the cross Of st. George, the
patron saint Of England, and after
wards the united crosses of st.
George and st. Andrew, the patron
saint Of Scotland.
During the stirring times just
preceding the revolution, the style
Of the American flag was rs chaotic
as were the affairs Of the country
Some dozen or more different ones
were carried on different occasions
each indicating, in one way or an
other, the state Of mind Of the peo.
pie. But in the latter part of 1775
it was deemed necessary to settle
upon some design, and it was de.
ciden to retain the united crosses o.
King James on a blue ground il
the corner, thereby recognizing The
sovereignty Of England, butto still
further carry out theidea of a unioi
flag by replacing the red field will

and unthlnklng white people are
arrayed on the side of murder after
a rape has been committed. The
negro politician makes the rape a
race question and in the name Of
Afro-Americanism threatens the
white people with dagger and torch
if they dare resent by unlawful VIZ
olence on q negro man his crime Of
unlawful violence on a white wom-
an.
Thus at Oklahoma City, when
armed negroes had been summoned
into it from the surrounding coun-
try, we find one Of the leading Ok
lahoma supporters Of the Harrison
Afro-American policy urging the
lynching Of q white editor and
threatening to burn tie city before
morning. This supporter of the
administration n'sreconstruction pol
icy is described by the ST. Louis
administration organ as Judge"
Perkins, "a leading colored law
yer"
AS the negro demagogue under
stands the Minneapolis platform, it
is a pledge that the Republican
party will support him in all his
claims to race privilege, including
the privilege Of burning towns and
killing white people in retaliation
when white people show violence
and lawless resentment of such
crimes as rape committed by ne
groes.
By slow processes Of education,
the negroes can be fitted for self
government and made capable of
controlling their brutal passions.
But white radicals join them in re-
pudiating these processes and in
sisting on an immediate race issue
and an immediate settlement. The
Afro-Americannegro demands con-
troll Of the courts which try rape
cases; control of the elections which
determine who shall be Judge, jury
and sheriff, and in this demand the
Afro-American white man supports
him.
When this issue is forced as it is
being forced now in Oklahoma, it is
in one sense fortunate that Okla.
homa is under Federal control, fol
the self-renominated President cal
take such action in the case of thu
rapes, the lynching and the rally o
his supporters to burn Oklahom,
City as will more clearly interpre
the Minneapolis platforms purpos,
of forcing the race issue.

A SERMON ON BAD ROADS.
They Lead to Profanity, Intemperance,
Cruelty and Poverty.

They Lead to Profanity, Intemperance,
Cruelty and Poverty.
There have been hundreds of ed
itorials lately on the subject of bet
ter county roads, but it falls on the
Bolivar County Review, published
at Rosedale, Miss, to make the
champion argument for the cause.
Here is the sermon:
(l) Bad roads lead to profanity;
they make men swear.
(2) Bad roads lead to intemper-
ance; men think it necessary to for
tify the inner man with a few drinks
to enable them to stand the long
journey through the mud.
(3( Bad roads lead to cruelty;
even the kindest hearted driver
often has to stimulate willing
team with tha lesh.
(4) Bad roads lead to poverty;
the wear and tear on wagons, har-
ness, ndanimals knocks off a large
per cent. Of profit.
If bad roads lead to profanity, in
temperance, cruelty, and poverty,
they lead to the devil.

Emmons Blaine, son of ex-Secre-

at his home in Chicago last Satur-
day morning. Blood poisoning the
result of inflammation of the bow
els was the cause. Young Blaine
was a notable figure in the exciting
convention scenes at Minneapolis,
that resulted in his fathers defeat.
he took the result greatly to heart
and was confined to his room shortly
after his return. It is thought by
many thatthe strain and excitement
at Minneapolis, followed by the
keen disappointment of the out
come, had no little to do with the
physical prostration ensuing. The
family is greatly prostrated by his
