A special to the Atlanta Constitution
from Greenville says 1t Is stated upon
good authority that the Southern Railway
will very soon put on double daily trains
between Columbia and Greenville. No
official announcement has yet been made,
but it is believed that the change will go
into effect at an early date. For years the
people along the line of the Columbia q
Greeny!lle Road have desired to see this
plan carried out, but have never been
able to bring it about. The change will
be welcomed all along the line, and we
believe would prove profitable to the
Road. It would increase travel and
would be a great convenience 10 the pub
lie. The business and the population
along the line are increasing, and one
train O day each way is not sufficient 10
meet the demands of the public. We
hope to see the double service iDaugura.

A Card from Leading Negroes.

Editors Intclhgcnccr AS %law-abldlng
citizens, and to some extent leaders Of
our people, we feel it our imperative duty
10 show to the world our unanimous con
domination of the crime attempted to be
committed recently in our city. We have
mothers, daughters and sisters whose vir-
tue and chastity are sacred, and We would
| not, for one moment, shield or protect
any person guilty of such a foul deed
from the full extent of the law. We know
that the moral standard of many OF our
people is not as high as it should be, but
we know scores of the better class who
would defend a white or colored woman,
even though it cost their lives, in such a
case. We would have gladly assisted in
trying to bring the guilty one to justice
in this case or any other, as some n else
may become his victim. We have been
asked why we did not assist, and to some
extent condemned for remaining silent.
This request and condemnation Is not
| groundless when you first see 1t, but
when coolly and wisely considered we
think our action is in keeping with the
law of the land. Had either or all Of US
assisted, and lad we been successful in
capturing the accused, there Is no doubt
in our minds from the excited condition
of the greater portion Of the citizens that
he would have been hanged to the first
limb or shot to death. This is not bring
ing the prisoner to justice. Hence we
would become murderers and stand
guilty before a just God. We would be
no less guilty than the man that pulled at
the end of the rope or the one that perfo-
rated his body with lead. We know
there were many cool, law-abiding white
citizens who would not think of partici-
| pating in such a crime, but there were
many others Infatuated with passion that
would not be controlled at that time.
Many times have we seen municipal and
State and county officials, backed up by
cool hoeds, overpowered by the madened
crowd and the prisoner lynched. This
we feel is very unjust, and is educating
and leading the young men OF our great
and grand county into a very dangerous
custom, as 1t leads mobs to resort to
lynch law for crimes of less magnitude:
We also feel that the moral standard OF
scores of our people is so high that tho
would not, for q moment, entertain -
idea Of harboring or secreting the accused
in their homes, and as the officers made
no exceptions, but searched all of our
homes, regardless Of the good name we
have been trying to build up during our
life time, hence we were all placed on the
samo basis with the rabble of the city.
We feel that it does a great injustice to the
race to censure them all for the crimes OF
some lawless individuals.
We again wish to ~reassert our condem-
nation of such crimes, and place ourselves
on record as being willing to assist In
bringing all rapists to speedy trial and,
if found guilty, punished by the law OF
the State.

II may be expected with the advent OF
prosperity. and especially under such cir
cumstances as those attending the rush
TO Seattle. there Will be an increase in the
number OF camp followers. There will be
confidence men, burglars, and all kinds of
common thieves. who will hope to par
tieipate in the harvest that they suppose
Seattle is reapiug. The police will do
their duty. but citizens must be on their
guard ana take greater precautions than
they have been accustomed to.
IN one respect particular attention
should be given to the locking Of doors.
and to the protection OF the pocket In

this city would stand In the densest crowd
without the slightest apprehension of

will soon take advantage Of this trustful-
ness and the loss of watches and pocket
books will ba the result.
The most careful watchfulness on the
part OF the police will not prevent this
evil entirely. The Pacific coast has a GER
tain number OF criminals who wander up
and down taking places In turn. but we
may now expect that their forces will be
augmented by a number from the Eastern
cities, who will be entire strangers TO our
detectives. The public must render as
sistance by self-protectlon through such
measures as ordinary prudence will sug-
gest.

inmate the war by giving Cuba the inde-
pendence II asks there would be a revolu-
ton. The people who have TO pay the
taxes want the ministry 20 terminate the
war. but those who do not pay taxes
