Judge Emory Speer
Speaks Of the Negro.
The Crimes That Fave t.
fammed Whites are Fer
eign to the Negro Race.

Macon, Ga June THE bacca.
laureate address delivered to the law
class of Mercer University this morn
ing by Judge Emory Speer was
remarkable in the selection of the
question dealt with before such an
audience Judge Speer devoted his
whole time for half an hour to an
an cuncement of his views on the
ude of the white people Of the
south, and especially of this State,
toward the negro as a result of the
commission of many awful crimes
against white women.
The speaker said that the punish.
ment of the criminal must be Kept
within the bounds of civilization and
within the pale of law and the courts.
The contrary course, he said. is
debasing and effective only in delay
ing final correction and prevention.
In emphatic tones and gesture
Judge Speer said:
81 solemnIy assert before this dis
tinguished audience with q full
knowledge Of the import of what I
say, that the crimes that have so
iohamed the white people of this
country against the negro race are
foreign to these people, whom ! have
known and loved since my childhood
and whom I will know and love until
my eyes are closed in death. F." The
negroes themselves, he said, must
assist the whites in hunting down
and arresting the outcasts in order
that they may remove the onus Of
the charge that they are in sympathy
The constabulary force of the State
in the country districts should be
made efficient.
1.-The Judges of the superio. courts
must be selected from the highest
intelligence end moral character of
the State Rewards should be
promptly offered, &, above all
things, the speaker said, "that sec.
ton of the code which provides
against any expression of opinion by
q Judge in charging in criminal cases
and which expression constitutes an
error on which the supreme court
must grant q new trial, should be
repealed p
In conclusion, Judge speer said
that the cunning of the law repre-
sented by the young men just grad
uated must ind way to remove the
only cloud that now obscures the
sunlight OF happiness and prosperity
in which the State would otherwise
be bathed
