THE HANGING OF HrTE.

APRIL 26th, 1898, George W.
Hite, q white gentleman of old
Virgins, murdered in cold blood a
negro by the name Of VIM. Bowers
who was very popular and much
respected by the leading white
citizens of the town of Boydton.
Hite who was an ex-confederate
soldier, was duly tried and convict
ed for committing the crime. His
friends carried his case to the su-
preme court of the State, but that
court sustained the decision of the
lower court. Then they appealed
to Gov. J. Hoge Tyler who il q
thorough Democrat, but that able
official declined to interfere with the
sentence of the court, or to grant
. further stay of the execution and
he was executed in accordance with
the law.
This is the first case IN the his
tory of the grand old common
wealth of Virginia wherein q white
person has been legally hanged for
taking the Life of q negro. All
honor TO Gov. Tyler for the noble
stand which be has assumed in this
relation, and the negroes in all
parts of this country ought to rise
up and call him blessed for possess
ing the courage TO administer the
laws equal between the two races.

colonies acquired their freedom.
Holland delivered her American
colonies from slsvery August 9Th,
1862. The Hollanders were very
cruel task masters. They regarded
their slaves with ,sbhorance, and
whenever they died they were
thrown into common bitches for
burial.
The African slave trade was
closed in this country January LIST,
1862. We also desire to call Mr..
Anderson's attention to the further
fact, that only last year England
disposed of over two hundred thous-
and African slaves. Some of them
only brought $500 and 81 cents
apiece, and today the socalled
Christian nations are engaged in
shipping thousands of missionaries
to Africa to civilize and Christianize
the negro, but the same ships which
carry the missionaries and the
Bibles, are loaded down with
thousands of gallons of rum which
is used to degrade those unfcr-
tunate creatures whom they are
endeavoring to Christianize and
to win over to Jesus.
Mr.. Anderson also contended or
maintained that the church and the
Christians were the prime movers
and the foremost leaders in the
anti-slavery movement in this coun-
try, but we disagreed with him on
that proposition, for such was not
the case. William Lloyd Garrison,
Garrett Smith, Wendell Phillips,
Henry C. Wright, Parker Pillsbury,
Elzur Wright, Stephen s. Foster,
Abby Kelly, Frances Wright and
Lucretia Mott were inhdels.
The stoutes. opposition to these
great leaders came from the ortho-
dox churches. VIM. Lloyd CARR
son was dragged through the streets
of Boston with rope around his
neck, BY Christian gentlemen. and
the ring leader was Presbyterian
minister. Garritt Smith, Calvin
Fairbanks, Wendell Phillips and
the rest were greeted with Kisses
whenever they attempted to lecture
on the anti-slavery movement. The
greatest leader in that mighty
movement was the immortal Chas.
Sumner, and he was an in6del.
Such pulpit orators as William E.
Canning, Theodore Parker, Henry
Ward Beecher, Star King, James
Furnace, James Freeman Clark and
numerous others were conspicuous
figures in that great revolution.
But these men have been denounced
by the church as. infdels and here
tics, and We defy Mr.. Anderson to
point ont ten prominent orthodox
divines either north or south who
heartily Joined in that stupendous
upheaxal. On the contrary they all
upheld the institution of slavery
because they felt and believed that

days ago With Mr.. Scott Anderson,
Who Is one Of the leading English
citizens of Zion, that gentleman
endsavored to impress the idea upon
our mind that England, his mother
country, was thefr Christian coun-
try In the world to stamp her dis
approval upon the African slave
trade. We took the opposite view
and commended that England had
acquired more wealth by buying
and selling negroes or slaves, than
al the other civilized or uncivilized
countries IN the world.
We have not the lime nor the
space TO give . minute description
of the African slave trade, and the
relations which England sustained
to IT, but suffice to say, that from
1926 to 1864, Queen Elizabeth, the
Stuarts and many English lords
and noblemen were patrons and
partners of slave vessels. They
advanced money for outfits and re-
eeived their proportion of the pro-
fits. In 1869, an agreement was
entered into between England and
Spain, whereby the English obtain
ed the complete monopoly of i'm
porting slaves from Africa to the
West Indies and America, and in
thirty years England brought over
one hundred and forty-four thous-
and slaves to this country and sold
them to the highest bidders for
cash and merch andise.
Queen Anne and her subjects re-
ceived, three-fourths of the profits,
and Philip v. of Spain one.fourth.
At the solicitations of Messrs. Tai
bot and York, the solicitors of the
British crown or Queen Anne, in-
duced the lord chief justice of Eng
land to render an opinion to the
effect that negroes or slaves were
nothing more than other species of
merchandise, and he was the first
chief justice in the world to plSce
negroes on the same footing with
animals. After this decision, Eng
land, France, Germany and several
other European countries, obtained
large plantations in the West Indies,
South America and America, and
from that time until 1908 these
Christian nations kidnapped and
stole over forty million human
beings from Africa. These poor un-
fortunate creatures were drove to
the sea cost where they were marked
and loaded on vessels to be shipped
70 the various portions of Christsn-
DOM They were packed on the
lower decks like herring in q cask.
They often refused to eat. Then
their mouths were forced open with
an instrument known in surgery a.
sPeesIsm oris, which is used in
cases of lock-jaw, and by this con-
trivance they were made to eat
against their viii, yetrany of them
would not do 20 and sulked them
selves to death, and when they were
indnlged with an airing ON deck,
thousands of them jumped over
board into the raging sea, n they
sank beneath the waves they waved
their hands IN triumph at having
made their escape.
We learn from one of the
greatest English historians that
dogs and horses now receive more
and better protection in the British
dominions than negroes received in
the last century.
Thomas Paine whowrote the frst
work against slavery, was imprison-
ed and came near being put to death
