THE FUTURE
OF THE NEGRO.
LYNCHING AS A PRE-
TENTATIVE FOR RAPE
rs A FAILURE.

Raleigh, N. C, May 25 "A spe
cial to the News and Observer from
Greensboro, N G.. says
Co! Julian S. Carr, in his address
before the colored agricultural and
mechanical college here, spoke at
length upon the subject Of lynchings.
Gel. Carr is very kindly disposed
toward the negro. He said that the
recent atsocious crimes in one of our
southern states, and the barbarous
death meted out to the brute guilty
of them, had brough. us face to face
with conditions that threaten our
very civilization Lynching as a
preventative of rape had proved a
horrible failure. And while no death
was too terrible for the assaiIsnt of
innocent woman, for the honor of the
south. lynchings should be stamped
out and the law permitted to take its
course. The pulpit snd the press
should join in the work to make it
respected At the same time, aA
technicalities, delays and challenges
that give criminals such an advan-
tage must be wiped out, so that men
may know that the execution of a
rspiss will swiftly and surely follow
the capture
Turning then from the responsible
tiles of she white race 10 those of the
black, Col. Carr said
'.The question of the future of the
southern negro is one that must be
deferred for settlement until we have
restored safety and feeling of secur
ity to the humblest woman in the
poorest cabin of the most thin]y
settled portion of the south The
southern white man cannot restore
that security That is the mission Of
the leaders of the negro race. They
must make a public sentiment so
strong in their race that no brute can
fail to be impressed and deferred by
it. Criminals must be made to un
derstand that crime shuts the doors
of respectable homes to the criminal
Let him be pariak-sn 1shmaelite-
an outcast to be received nowhere
except by charity and upon proba
tion "

MIRAGE On Lake Michigan.

Michigan City doomed up in mirage
to the eyes of thousands OF people
along the lake front in Chicago not
long ago. It's white buildings and its
long sandy beach could be so plainly
seen by the naked eye that the city,
which is some fifty miles from Chica-
90. seemed as If 1t were no more than
a few miles away.
The sight lasted some hours and
was first noticed about 3 o'clock IN
the afternoon. Spectators walking
along Michigan avenue, who saw the
strange appearance on the lake, and
who cast their eyes southwark, first
thought that the far-away lake city
was some of the outbuildings OF Hyde
Park or South Chicago. But their eyes
were deceived, and in looking steadily
through the smoke cast over the lake
about Chicago they were convinced
that it was a view of the Indiana CIT!
