said: The average woman can be-
led any where with q diamoud rlng.r
l. also coroberates what Joseph
Daniels said as follows:
'.She had grown up into q handsome
young woman with many sdmirers-farm-
ers sons from the eighborhoOd who fell
in love with her red checks, pretty ways
and mischievOus eyes; just sixteen years Of
age she was, and not a prettier girl in al,
Pemlico county. In her were COM iped the
freshness and bloom Of girlhood with the
charm and grace of womanhood." 7
Soon che grew accustomed TO the ne
groe's presence, and later, as her father was
away for days and weeks. Bessie began to
welcome the presence of the negro, and
look upon him as protector. Then some
thing happened. 1t is useless to say that it
is the Old story of weak woman tempted"
More than that: The phrase say
ing ''or any negro man and white
woman shall lewdly' ETC., corob-r-
| ates what the negro editor Manly,
said as follows:
ter of protecting their women, especially on
| farms. They are careless about their con-
duct toward them, and our experience
among poor white people in the country
teaches us that the women of that race are
| not any more particular in the matter Of
| C'andestlne meetings with cslored men
than are the white men with cOlored wO-
en-. Meetings of this kind go on for some
time until the woman's lnfatuation or the
mans boldness brings attention to them,
and the man is lynched for rape"
That bill certainly is intended to
correct and prevent the crimes
chargs d by these three gentlemen.
Now those who believe that Drs.
Kilgo, Daniels and Manly slandered
the white women of North Carolina
should wait gu Mr., Winston and or
der him to withdraw that bill at once.
II there is sufficient cause for such q
bill, then thousands Of people owe
these three doctors an apology; and
Mayor Waddell should replace edi-
