WALTERS DECLARES CHARGE
MANUFACTURED.
AND SAYS IT WILL SOON Be PROVED
He Asserts il The North Does Not Check South.
ern lawlessness, Its Best Blood Will
Again Pay the Penalty Of
the. South's Grimes.

Jersey City, n. j., April 26.-The
New Jersey Annual Conference of the
African Methodist Episcopal Zion
Church was opened today in Jhis city.
Bishop Alexander Walters, ID. d., pre-
sided.
The visiting Bishops were:
j. w. Hood, ID. d., Ii D.; c. c. Pet
ty, A. NJ, ID. d.; c. II. Harris, d. d.;
q. w. Clinton, ID. d., and j. b. Small,
ID. ID.
Bishop Walters in his address at the
afternoon session bitterly denounced
the Georgia lynchings, and said:
THE civilized world has been shock
ell by the unprecedented butchery and
burning of Samuel Hose (colored)
near Palmetto, Ga, on Sunday, April
23d The fendishness of the crime
beggars description. Samuel Hose
was charged with killing Alfred Gran
ford (white) and assaulting his Gran
ford's wife. 1t is said that he confess
ed to the killing of Crawford hut de-
MED to the last assaulting his wife. IT
it generally believed by the fair-mind-
ed that if Hose did kill Crawford it
was to ayenge the killing of five color
ed men by a mob said to have been led
by Crawford at Palmetto, Ga, March
18TH
After referring to newspaper com
inents that Hose outraged Mrs. Gran
ford, the Bishop asserted that the
charge of assault was manufactured
as a justification for the lynching,
adding that within fortnight his
statement would be irrefutably estab-
lished
IT, said Bishop Walters. the good
white people of the North are not dis
illusioned and do not put stop to
this sweeping tide of lawIessness, it
will not be long before thew will be
again called upon by a God OF Justice
to give their best blood to pay the
penalty of the crimes of the south
Continuing, Bishop Walters said:
THE Cubans and Filipinos whom we
have spent so much money and shed
so much blood to free from Spanish
oppression. were never treated so bar
barously in time of peace by that gov
eminent as some negroes have been
in the States of Arkansas. Texas,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia.
1T is rather amusing to Intelligent
Africo-Americans to read in the dailies
and weeklies of our country of the
Americans desire to give to the Gu
bans and Filipinos an equitable and
benefcent government, when they are
powerless to even secure life and liber-
ty to their citizens at home.
s'The great problem of America to-
day is not the currency question. nor
the colonial possessions, but how to
avoid the racial war at home. You
cannot forever keep the negro out of
his rights. Slavery made coward of
him: for $50 years he was taught to
fear the white man. But he is rapidly
emerging from such slavish fear and
ere long will contend for his rights as
bravely as any other man.
"One Of two things must be done in
order to avoid trouble. The negro must
be treated fairly or furnished with suffi-
