1t is SAID that this is the second col

him. He is the Chief of Police OF
Wytheville. This position seemed to
have led him to believe that he could
rank with the occupants of similar pO-

JUDGE LYNCH ARDHIs DEGREES.

THAT there has been manifest in
crease in the number of lynchlngs in
this country is apparent to any one
who will take the trouble to note the
record of the carnival Of blood.
Men are being executed for any
crime, and the evidence received as
positive against the hopeless victims is
in many cases of the most tiimsy kind
1t is needless to argue that it is due
to the failure to properly execute the
laws, because in all cases where color
ed men are concerned their conviction
is q foregone conclusion IL even the
suspicion is strong enough to warrant
their arrest.
Our people are made TO prove theii
innocence, and seldom indeed is il re-
quired for the commonwealth to prove
their guilt.
What will check the practices Of
Judge Lynch? Not the cessation of
crime amongst us, because when we
fail to do wrong in this respect; white
men with blackened faces take up the
act where we left off.
Not by appealing to the officers of
the law because with few exceptions.
they are in league with those who
commit the murders.
Not by appealing to the consciences
Of the lynchers. because they have
long since lost the little that they had
Then what remedy is there for our
people? Their own strong arms. Il
behooves every citizen of African de-
scent to exercise those manhood rights
and privileges aud act upon the theory
that every mans home is his castle
and prepare to defend it against al:
corners. A couple of repeating rifles
and like number of shot guns for
hunting purposes together with all
abundance of ammunition will be tie
greatest preventive of the evil of which
we know.
1t will ensure pleasant nights rest.
1t will guarantee safety at home and
afford protection abroad. 1t will dis
sipate the fear OF the uncertain and
cause respect for the occupant OF
that cabin, which can be measured on
ly by his skillfulness in handling the
weapons referred to.
1t is only the cowardly portion of a
community that lynches helpless hu-
man being 1t is only that element
which will be injured by manly de-
tense.
Liberal minded, Iaw-abiding, chris
tian white men are on the side of the
wronged and the oppressed and they
win be with Us in contest of this kind
