GOVERNOR GAMBLER TALKS.
Discusses the Burning AMI Mutilation
of tho Negro, Sam Hose.


of tho Negro, Sam Hose.
ATLANTA, Ca, April 25. Governor
Gambler gave the following statement
on the burning Of Sam Hose near
Newman:
1.-THE whole thing is deplorable and
Hoses crime, the ho,rid details OF
which have been published, and are
too horrible for publication, is the
most diabolical in the annals OF crime.
The negroes Of that community lost
the best opportunity they will ever
have to elevate themselves In
the estimation of their white
neighbors. The ,diabolical nature
of the double crime was we'll
known to every one of them; the per-
petrator was we'll known and they
owed 1t to their race to exhaust every
means OF bringing Hose to justice.
This course would have done more to
protect their race against the mob
than all the rewards and proclama-
tions Of all the governors for the next
fifty years. But they lost the oppor-
tunity, and it is a deplora BILE fact that
while scores Of intelligent negroes,
leaders OF their race, have talked to.
me about the Palmetto lyncbing, not
one of them has ever in the remotest
way alluded to either the burning Of
Palmetto, which provoked the lynch
Ing, nor to the diabolical crime of
Hose.
IL do not believe these men sympa
thized with Hose or the Palmetto in
cendiaries, but they are blinded by
race prejudice and can see but ono
side Of the question. This is unfor-
tunate. They must learn to look at
both sides. want to protect them in
every legal right and against mob vio-
lence, and l stand ready to employ
every resource OF the state in doing 80,
but they must realize that in order TO
merit and receive the protection OF
the community they must show will
lingiess to at least aid in protect
Ing the community against the lawless
element OF their own race. The good
and d'law-abiding negroes must separ-
ate themselves from the lawless and
criminal element. They must de-
nounce crime and aid In bringing
criminals to justice, whether they be
black or white. In this way they can
do more to protect themselves than
all the courts and juries in the state
can do for them. TO secure protec-
tion against lawless whites they must
show a disposition to protect the
white people against lawless blacks"
