MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 10. 1899

A REPUBLICAN newspaper of Chicago
denounces the white people employed
in the cotton factories of one town, Grit
fin, Georgia, for driving their negro
competitors away. Such Crime, in
its opinion, proves that those guilty OF it
have no regard for the laws OF the gov
eminent under which they live, and
should be made to obey them. Why GER
tainly; but what regard for law have the
white people of the whole State of Hill
nois, whose accredited representative,
tbs Governor, has announced that the
negro laborers who have been
driven away from town in
shat State for trying to CON-
pete with white men, shall be shot
down in their tracks if they attempt to
come back. But Griffin is thousands
of miles from Chicago, while Pana Is
