LET arr STAND TOGETHER

The best way to build up town is
to stand by each and every man, and
woman, too, in the town who does
right. Whenever man is doing well
do not try to tear him down. All
the residents OF town ought to be
partners, and not opponents. In all
likelihood the more business your OPP
poneut does the more you will do
Every business man who treats his
customers honestly, courteousiy and
fairly will get his share, and the more
business he can secure by united efforts
the better 1t will be for all. When a
town ceases to grow IT begins to die,
and the more people do to kill each
other in their business or good name
the more rapidly will utter ruin come
to all This is not the case in Guthrie,
for we have no such spirit here, hence
we speak freely without the fear Of
stepping on any ones corns. Stand
together for the advancement OF every
citizen and his business. II man

A CRIME WITHOUT ADEQUATE PUN
IsHBENT.

IbhhERIs
Mrs. w. II. Felton, whose speech
caused the negro editor. Manley, to
write and publish the editorial which
melted the people OF Wilmington to
destroy his newspaper and himself 10
fiy the state, speaks much that Is sober
truth against a crime that Is entirely
too prevalent in portions Of this coun-
try, q crime that the laws IN force
have so far been inadequate to meet
and eradicate, She says, And when
there is not enough religion In the
pulpit to organize crusade against
this sin nor justice In the eolrt house
TO promptly punish the crime, nor
manhood enough in the nation to put
sheltering arm around innocence
and virtue, II It requires To protect
womans dearest virtue from ravening
human beasts, then l say lynch
thousand a week II 1t is necessary. p
Mrs. FELTON, further said; "Sipce
that address was made, the crime and
lynchings have decreased 30 per cent
in Georgia. The race will be des'
troyed by the whites In self defense,
unless law and order prevail in regard
to the crime Of rape and the lynehing
that follows.
There is no doubt that much Mrs
FELTON, says is true only she ought to
have made her remarks general anu
included brutes OF the character she
describes Of both colors. Crimes OF
this sort whether the guilty party be
black or white, should meet with
prompt and summary punishment
through the law, if possible, but II not
through the law, then by the strong
hand OF self defense.
Villains OF this character bsve no
right to any portion Of earth. The
earth was not made for such creatures.
Which is the most to be dreaded in
the community The serpent which
strikes and kills, or the leeherous
monster in human form who seeks by
stealth and force to crafty his hellish
appetite borns Of his brutal instincts
on some helpless woman and thereby
kill her moral life9 The answer comes
back gathering volumes as 1t comes
that this vampire, this blot on human
kind is infinitely the most to be dread
ed. You kill the serpent without Ap'
d. aling TO the laws authority. Why
then, should not the other and more
dangerous character be treated like
wise?
