She Reports What She Said to the
Georgia Farmers-She Says the Edf-
tor, Manly, Should Have Been
Lynched
Atlanta, Ga, November 15.-Mrs. w.
H. FELTON,, whose speech brought forth
Editor Manly's reply in his Whining
ton paper, resulting eventually in the
negro editors enforced departure from
the North Carolina city, is at her home
the FELTON, farm near Gainesville.
Concerning statements that Manly's
editorial was written in reply to her
address before the Georgia agricultural
society at Tybee nearly two years ago,
Mrs. FELTON, today repeated portions of
the speech and made some sensational
statements in confirmation of her
views.
In addressing the farmers at Tybee,
Mrs FELTON, said:
'The crying need of women on farms
is security in their lives and home 1t
is a>disgrace in a free country when
rape and violence are public reproach
and the best part of Gods creation
are trembling and afraid to be left
alone in their homes.
with due respect to your politics,
I say that when you take the negro
into your embraces on election day to
control his vote and use liquor to be-
fuddle his understanding and make
him believe he is your man and
brother; when you honey-snuggle him
at the polls and make him familiar
with dirty tricks in politics, so long
will lynching prevail, because the
cause will grow and increase with
every election and when there is not
enough religion in the pulpit to organ
ize a crusade against this sinner, JUS
tice in the court house to put shelter
ing arm about innocence and virtue,
if it requires lynching to protect wo-
mans dearest possession from raven
ing, drunken human beasts, then | say
lynch a thousand a week if it is ne
cessary."
Since that address was made the
crime and lynchings have decreased
so per cent. in Georgia" said Mrs. Eel
ton, coming to the present time. 'The
race will be destroyed by the whites
in self defense unless law and order
prevail in regard to the crime of rape
and the lynching that follows. When
the negro Manly attributed the crime
of rape to lewd intimacy between ne
gro men and white women of the
south, the slanderer }glould be made to
fear a lyncher's ropf rather than oc-
cupy place in newspapers"

Mr. Chamberlain Speaks Glowtnsfy
on this subject-The Unfrfendiy Feel
ing Between England and France

Manchester, November 15.-At the
national liberal unionists- conference
held here today, Joseph Chamberlain,
made his first public speech since his
return from the United States Mr..
Chamberlain, who was more explicit
on the subject of Anglo-French rela-
tions than any Of his colleagues in the
cabinet has been, said it was the hope
French withdrawal from Fashoda is
indicative of their acceptance OF the
principle of the British control of the
whole valley of the Nile regarding
which there cannot be any discussion
whatever"
Going on to recite a series of un-
friendly acts perpetrated by France in
various quarters of the globe during
the last ten or fifteen years, he said:
IF better relations are TO be estab-
lished, it will be necessary for French
politicians to abandon tactics whose
object has been to hamper and embar-
rass British policy even in quarters
where the French have no interests to
protect. T refer especially to New
Foundland, where, despite the fact

declined, to a comparatively insignifi-
cant point, the demands of the French
haze continually increased and their
interference with the development of
the colony has increased.
After referring to the thorough and
complete sympathy SO noticeable be-
tween the motherland and her COL
onies," Mr.. Chamberlain continued as
follows:
What is of equal Importance, our
American kinfolk Qoud cheers) have
begun to understand us better. If we
have had differences in the past, I be-
lieve they have arisen entirely from
the want of proper mutual understand
ing, but now the Americans know
that in the late trouble our hearts
went out to them CHEERS and they
heartily reciprOcate our good feelings.
shall not attempt to predict what
may follow this better feeling, but
may at least hope that in the future
the understanding which I have spok-
en- of may be perfeced and that in the
face of that understanding we two may
be able to guarantee peace and civiliza-
ton to the whole world
