THE NEGROES of Washington MOI
only have the white judges of that city
to teach them that they are above
the law, but the preachers of
their own race, to inspire them with
hatred fer white people. One of the

Our best people car be abused, out
ragged and ~butchered without provoca-
ton, and yet the evil-doers are hardly
condemned, and beyond q possible
newspaper notice, is passed by asa mat

acteristics Of the negro, with such
teachings as they receive from their

in the hands of the visitors from Cam
eron, Potter and Mexican counties.

there were at least 2000 visitors in the

meeting was held at the G. A. r. hall.
A j. Searle, of Lookout Tent of Forest
