nit rape the whole race suffers, so, be-
cause some white men lynch ravshers all
the white people of the South are abused.
1T is a singular fact, too, that the
pharisaical fanatics who have most TO
say about 'Apaches, Southern Barbar-
ians,' etc, always stress the atroclty OF
lynching But j have never yet heard
of one of them saying or doing anything
to discourage the crime which provoked
it.
Indeed in some cases instead of de-
nouncing his crime, they have assailed
the character OF the victim of the
brute's lust, not only encouraging bad
negroes, but eXasperating the friends of
Southern womanhood
Another and a continually present
cause which contributes to race friction
is corrupt politics. AS is admitted by all
candid men, the ballot, was put in the
hands of the Southern negro when he
was utterly unprepared for it. He re-
garded it as only an article of merchan-
disc to be bartered away to the man
who would pay him the most for ii,

Hence unscrupulous men of all parties
contend for this vote and hug the negro
around the polls and drink whiskey with
him. He is forgotten after election and
like spoiled child becomes resentful and
vindctive. This brings clashes with the
whites"
In speaking of the remedy Governor
Gambler says:
In Georgia for a generation there has
been scarcely negro between six and
eighteen years of age, who has not had
access to free school. AS a conse-
quence illiteracy has decreased among
them from S5 per cent. III 1870 to 40
per cent. in 1899, and yet it is startling
fact that crime among them has increas-
e, in about the same proportion that illit-
eracy has decreased.
There is, however, another sort Of
education which can in time greatly re-
lieye the situation. This is moral educa-
tion which must be acquired at the fam
lily heartlfstone and in the churches and
Sunday Schools, and by the daily contact
of the inferior race with the superior for
years and even for generations.
THE greatest crime ever perpetrated,
not only against American ideas and in
stitutions and human liberty, but against
the Southern negro was when without
he was clothed with all the
rights and privileges and responsibilities
of citizenship.
I'VE need a remedy immediate in its
effects and this remedy can only be
found in 4 qualified suffrage. The ballot
must only he entrusted to the virtuous

Obituary..

Mrs. Emma Foreman, wife Of DR..
A. w. Foreman, fell asleep in the
faith of Christ at her late home,
Monday, January 23rd, 1899. She
was born May is, 1858. She made a
profession # her faith in Christ and
was connected with both Methodist
and Presbyterian churches. For the
last six years she was a great sufferer,
there being but short intervals when
she was free from the most excruciat-
ing pain. For this reason she could
not engage so actively in church work
as she would liked to have done. She
was deeply interested in the advance
ment Of the Redeemer's kingdom, and
in hearty sympathy with every good
cause. As a friend one rarely sees
her like, steadfast in her friendship,
truest of the true, as the writer can
gratefully testify. Her acts of kind
ness were performed in an unOStenta-
tious manner, as well as her many
deeds of charity. The funeral ser
vice was held in the Presbyterian
church under the direction OF the
pastor, the Rev. w. I. King. The
high esteem in which she was held
was manifested in the large assem-
bly, and also by the business houses
being closed during the hours of the
funeral service. The body sleeps
fittingly beside that of the sainted
Laura who preceded her on entrance
Of the heavenly home. The daughter
has greeted her in that clOudless
home. where both await the coming
of our Lord for all of his redeemed. -

Death of hrs. Foreman.

Mrs. Emily Josephine Foreman,
wife of DR.. A. w. Foreman, died at
her home in this city Monday at
about Ii o'clock. She had been a suf-
ferer from a complication of troubles
for several years past and had visited
different health resorts, and springs,
in the hope of getting relief, but in
vain. Deceased was born May is,
1858, and consequently was near forty
one years old. The funeral took
place Tuesday afternoon at half past
2 o'clock from the Presbyterian
church, conducted by Rev. W. t.
King. The bereaved family have the
sincere sympathy of a large circle of
relatives and friends and of the whole
community.
She had been a mother TO the two
orphan sisters of the bereaved hus-
band, Misses Minta and Flora Fore
man, who have made their home in
the family and been largely under the
mOtherly care of "Aunt Emma" To-
gether with Miss Tot, the only daugh-
ter, they have grown up as her own
children. 1t was the expressed desire
of the deceased that the family be not
further broken and the young ladies
will remain and keep the home with
DR.. Foreman.

unexceIIed Entertainers.

Vinita is, undeniably, a pretty
smart town and "when the country
opens" that long-talked-of time when
such wonderful things are to happen
the newcomers will discover that
they are far inside the bounds of civ
ilizatiOn and from a society point Of
view this is especially the casa fact
which is fully verified by glance
through the past week, which was ex-
ceptionally full of social events. And
the more notable, if not all Of the
principal ones, were given bV Vinita
ladies proper-those whose homes
have been here from childhood.
1t will be many a day before a
prettier wedding will take place than
that of DR.. Griffith and Miss Beatty
Wednesday night, which was almost
wholly arranged by native Nlnitans.
Another notable event was Mrs.
Halselrs dinner party, given Thurs
day night in honor of Judge Springer,
which for elaborateness was never
euualed in the city What with its
half dozen or more separately served
courses, costly table service, exquisite
flower decorations, dainty little SOU
veuirs and buttOnaires, and care
ful attention to every detail
throughout, it will not soon
again be equaled in the city,
even though our population may
double several times. And the ease
and grace with which the hostess pre-
sided and looked after the pleasure Of
each guest, relieving the occasion Of
any strain, characterized her as a
model entertainer
Then too, there were the usual
quota of parties given for the ''young-
er set" and by th,m, generally. On
these occasions the salads and ices
rival the efforts Of DelmonicOs chefs
and the quiet demeanOr Of the young
entertainers is marvel 10 the
stranger who may be so fortunate as
to receive an invitation.
On the whole, Vinita may with as
surance be considered as the abode Of
large number Of unexcelled enter
tainers.

a saddle. The train running at such

few minutes later and carried to
