Jacksonville, Fla. Daily American.
Last week two white men. P. B.
Woodson and ID. II. Hunter, Zone of
them the postmaster at Gainesville.
Ala, were whipping two colored girls
named Wright for insulting CD Wood
sons daughter, when the father of the
girls attacked them with hoe. Hum
ter was seriously injured, whereupon
Woodson shot the Negro and the lat
ter's daughter, killing them.
The above was clipped from a tele-
graphic dispatch, and is a piece of news
that makes law abiding men ask "what
next ?"
What right had these two men to
chastise these girls for any offence
whatsoever p? And very likely the Of
Tense in question was only some pass
ing remark; and worse still, when the
father interfered in behalf of his own
children, he and one of them were
shot down. o, what a splendid oppor-
tunity for lynching if these two men
were black.
These very two white men. no doubt
boast about the superiority of their
race, but they are vastly the inferior
of most Negroes.

Enquiries Put and Announcements Made

Especial to PLANET. 7

Mr.. EDITOR
Will you please allow me space
in q column of your paper to ask the
American Negroes few important
questions
l want to know of the leading Ne
groes, are they really willing to do
right, or would they do right if they
could do right2
l announce Mr.. Editor, that if the
leading Negroes are not willing to do
right as mass, that we are all fools
as mass and announce that a mass of
fools can never obtain sufficient favors
with God to lead race or nation to
a perpetual success.
/ announce also that not any set of
people can ever be a success without
finding favor with Almighty God.
also want to know of the followers
or of the inferior classes of Negroes
are they willing to do right, or would
they do right if they could do right.
or If they we're made to know exactly
what is right and what constitutes
right
announce to the whole race as a
mass, that if they are not willing to do
right regardless of what it costs or
shall cost, that the whole race as a
and / announce that not any mass of
fools can ever obtain sufficient favor
with God to cause Him to magnify
them neither in the presence of their
friends or their of foes. / announce that
not any set of people or any race can
ever be a people of renoWn without
first finding favor with God, as a race
or as a mass. See Revelation 2: 26. 27.
%, verse Isaiah IA: 20, d, 26 verses
see jeremiah II: 4. 5, g. verses Isaiah
/ a, also OILY Jerimiah 1879, 10.
Thus the willingness of a people or
OF a race not to do right, or a people
being not willing to do right, or to do
the necessary things to be done. re-
gardless of what the cost shall be. is
what constitutes them as a mass of
being fools, just because they think
that they could, or can be a success.
while they are not willing to do right,
or willing to do the one thing needful.
Let the cost be what it will or may.
For whatsoever is necessary is right.
and right is the chief and choice com
panion of wisdom, and he as a people.
who does not choose to favor and de-
fend right, such a people never finds
wisdom, and he or a people who never
finds wisdom. that people never OBJ
tains favor with God. See Proverbs :
