What Have They to Say Now?

What have those negroes few in

that class who do not believe the brute
who rapes helpless woman commits
a crime which merits the death penalty
to say now about George Brodie not
having fair trial in the face of his
confession? They know full we'll that
the scoundrel had as fair a trial as
could be given one with no sort of
defense whatever, but they feel that
he should not have been convicted
under any circumstances. To their
way of thinking his only sin was in
getting caught-not in the deed COM
mitted. But as we have said this class
represents a very small proportion and
the respectable, right thinking men,
bers Of the race should not suffer CEN

others.

That it pays to trade near home, is

by the merchants in the big cities,

The local merchant and mechanic
are interested in the progress and
development of the town and country
in which they live, and every dollar
that they amass is re-invested and
remains in the neighborhood. AS they
prosper their taxes increase, and just
so much those of others are lightened.
They assist in keeping up your schools,
churches and other public institutions
and charities. But the person who
spends his money to some distant city

BRODIE INTERVIEWED.
A Reporter Visits Him in His Cell
Says he Is Not Guilty as Charged
Denies Having Confessed.

says ne IS Not Guilty as Charged
Denies Having Confessed.
The negro rapist, Geo. Brodie, was
visited by representative Of the GOLD
LEAF Monday afternoon. He was
laying at full length on bench reading
the Blble-having the sacred book
open at jeremiah. He says he enjoys
good health, eats hearty and sleeps well.
When questioned Brodie talked freely
OF himself, but was somewhat reticent
IN regard to the crime with which he
Is charged. Being asked if he was
guilty of rape he replied that he was
not, and denies the report that he had
confessed his crime. He was inclined
to be jocular in talking of his deed and
made weak attempt at humor which
was very disgusting. When asked if he
feared lynching on the day he was COM
mltted to Jail he said he did not; thought
perhaps they might kill him but knew
that people had been killed before for
nothing and did not worry about it.
Asked if he would not admit his guilt
before he died he answered no. He
stated that he did not think he had
fair trial, but gave no reason or cause
whatever for so thinking. Says he has
not thought of pardon and has left his
case with the Almighty.
While the reporter was talking with
Brodle negro woman by the name Of
Jones was standing on the outside of
the Jail yard fence and conversing with
the jailor, who was in the jail. When
Brodie was asked if his parents were
living he answered that his mother was
but that his father was dead. On
hearing this reply the .jailor asked him
If be ever knew who his father was and
he said he did not. He was then told
that his fathers name was said to be
Jones, and that the woman on the out
side was his half sister. When informed
of this the woman spoke to him and he
answered. Both said it was the first
time either knew Of their relationship.
The reporter then asked Brodie if he
realized that his end was drawing near
| and that he had to die. Answer: Eyes,
sir; that's what they say" He appears
to be Indifferent to his fate, accepts it
as the inevitable and does not seem to
| comprehend his awful situation. But
the hand of time moves silently and
swiftly on, and ere the GOLD LEAF
greets its readers again George Brodie
will have given up his life in reckoning
for the heinous crime he committed
robbed pure and innocent woman Of
her virtue-the gravest offense known
to man in ancient or modern times and
one for which no human tribunal can
exact just compensation.

Time to Get a Move On.

1t is time for our people to wake up
to the fact that the busy business fall
season is almost here. Soon the new
crop of tobacco will begin to come in,
to be followed little later by cotton,
and business will be in full blast. We
want to get ready for it. The crops
are good and will command fair prices.
The farmers will have money. Every
merchant can do a lively business if
he will manage it right. He should
get his stock in good shape and let the
people know what he has. Bring your
goods and prices before the people:
Let them read what you are doing and
propose to do, what bargains you offer,
etc. Get these matters before them
now. Begin advertising your goods
now, so that when people from the
country come with their crops to
market, they will know just where to
90 to get what they want.
