MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 10.-The
whole plot of the lvnching of six al
legged negro incendiaries near Milling
ton. Tenn, on the night of August 81 !.
has been all laid bare. and before many
hours clapse every man implicated in
the conspiracy will be in jail. Robert
&. McCarver, son of j. A. McCarver.
sheriff of Shelby County, is the man
who exposed the cOnspirators. lie was
lnylted before the grand jury and told
the whole story. Young McCarver at
first refused to give testimony, but
when given the alternative of going to
jail for contempt of court, or revealing
the plot, he chose the latter.
In his testimony before the graud iu-
~ McCaryer said he was invited TO par
ticipate in the massacre of the negroes
by II. n. Smith, one of the men now
in the county Jail under Indictment for
murder in the first degree for complci-
ty in the lynching. Smith gave McCar-
yer the names of the men who would
compose the mob, and told how the
negroes would pc arrested by detective
W. S. Richardson, placed in wagon
and driven to Big Greek Swamp, where
the mob would be in waiting.
When the invitation to assist in the
assalnation was made to young McCar-
yer it was represented that his father
knew of it. and that Judge Cooper of
the criminal court was not in the dark.
These representations were untrue,
and were made by Smith with the in
tention, if possible, of mixing Sheriff
McCarver in the affair through his son.
so that his hands wond be tied if an in
vestigatiOn should be instituted by the
authorities. Yonng McCarver declined
to join the mob, but the lynching came
off in due time.
McCarver. the day after the lynch
ing. disclosed the details of the plot tt
James Theirs and Hoffman; then tn,
grand jury obtained its first informa
ton about the conspiracy and the i'm
pOrtance of McCarver's testimony
Cox. who denied all knowledge of tn,
affair in his testimony before the CRANE
jury, was indicted for perjury. Grim
inal Court Judge Cooper, after hearin;
of McCarver's confession, ordered hin
placed under $4,000 bouds to insur
his presence at the trial of the lynch
ers.
If these men escape the penalty G
the law, then there is no justice in on
courts. The law should take its cours
with those lynchers as with any othe
class of criminals; no matter whate' {
; their color or pedigree.

If WE are asked why we prefer the old
time principle of the Republican party
to that of our Populist friends we can
with some satisfaction point to the
fact that men and parties are as prone
to fitful tancies as the minds are to
change their directions. and it is the
best principle to stick to the boat that
carries YOU nearest the harbor of ma
ional protection. When men or cliques
or parties bolt their standard for trivial
prieviences and launch out into uncer-
tainty it is best that the AfrO-American
ascertain what he is to gam by a change
of patty fealty. We cannot afford to
monkey with side issues and that party
which has been the dominating one in
the recent election of this state cannot
obtain for national control for many
wears to come even should it he success

hard for the majority, as in all parties,
yet we are confident that every Cand-

satisfaction this year of carrying the

demagogue rule. Let every Afro
American put his shoulder to the
wheel and roll the Republican car in
to the arena of success. This is the
time for every patriotic thinker to fall
into line and help the good work
along. We realize the fact that many
of our CoIored journals have been in

1t Died Hard. Too.

The weather was the most vitality
interesting topic to the old citixen
and experienced gardner last week,
and it left such deep scars on the re-
markably forward vegetation that it
will continue to obtrude itself upon
nearly all focial,les and picnics from
now until the first of August. Nor is
this the last frost for the Spring. As
long as the seven stars show them.
selves after dark. there is danger from
frost in this latitude. 1t will be re.
membered how late it was last fall
before they showed themselves, 90
they will be correspondingly late dis,
appearing this spring. Many wheat
fields are badly damaged, and several
have reported them killed. Mr..
Thomas j. Child is 68 years old, and
he says ha has never seen such
weather at this time of the year, and
the same testimony comes from many
others. He remembcrs that tho cold
was almost as damaging in the spring
of 1854. His early corn was killed
down to the grain, and there is NO
hope of it sprouting again. In the
gardens of Pickens, Easley, Liberty
and Central, not even the onions es.
capped, and the turnip salad won't
down with them.
