General Butler Says the White Man and
Negro Cannot Live In g quality.
COLUMBIA, s c., Sep. 4-Gen. NJ.
@. Butler, former United States Sena.
tor, has written q letter for publica.
ton dealing with the race problem.
Referring to the recent whipping of
negroes, he says:
public meetings and denunciation
will not cure the disease. It is in the
blood, and you must strike at the root
to eradicate it. The two races cannot
live together in peace on terms of
equal rights" He adds:
sit is very easy for TilIman and
others to denounce the ~lawlessness of
the 'one gallus, wool hat crowd Let
Mr.. Tillman and those who join him
Rs guardians Of the negro put them
selves in the poor white mans place
and walk between plow handles from
sunup till shutdown, in competition
with negro labor at five dollars a
month, a peck Of meal and three
pounds of bacon q week. Some iusti
fCation for this lRwlessness may be
dug from the depths Of poverty into
which cheap labor has plunged many
worthy whites"
General Butler advocates the estab
iishment, by the government, Of a col
ony for negroes, and says:
1.-THE methods Of the negro do not
justify an attempt to lift him up by in
creased wages. So long az the races
are in immediate contact, lynchings,
whitecappings and mob law will on
stantly menace society, obstruct prog
ress and keep up q state Of anxiety"
