'erns Journal of July 18th, 1899,
nd IT Will be seen that the promise
# good order and freedom from the
commission OF nameless crimes and
Icts of violence and other disorder
a the event that the Democro;ie
,arty was restored to power in the
State, has by no means been ful-
iiled.
On the contrary, the kind of cam
,sign of violence and mob rule that |
vas waged it seems, instead of de-
e.ring the commission Of crime on
y set bad example to the vicious
and lawless, and the papers contain
frequent accounts as the above re-
ported by the Journal.
The promise of good order, free |
dom from violence or lawlessness OF
was deliberately made by |
the machine politicians of the State,
and Notwithstanding the fact that
the machine was restored to power,
these dangerous and narrowing deeds
Of violence grow apace.
When acts of lawlessness were
prior to their restoration
to power the machine and monopoly
Democrats would, with fiend.sh de-
light, declare that it would not be SO
if they were in control. They are in
power now as a result of the mob
rule and anarchy they practiced and
encouraged in the late campaign,
and yet absolute freedom from vio-
lence and disorder and iawlessness
does not reign supreme.
Will some of the machine leaders
hasten to inform the public about
this important matter7
Will they also inform us why the
great Democratic State of Georgia
is so frequently the scene of horrible
crimes, murders and lynchlngs Z
The fact is that there is more law
lessness now on account of the in
famous methods adopted by the mo-
nopolist crowd in order to carry the
last election then under opposition
rule.
The outrageous cowhiding of M.
Woodland, an innocent man, who was
in the town of Washington In this
State, on private business, would not
have occurred prior to the campaign
of murder, violence, intimidation
and mob rule.

forward to with considerable inter
est.

Mr.. Henry Miller, Private Secre
tary of Col. A. B. Andrews, in
statement made before Corporatio,
Commission with reference to tn
manner in which the Jim Grow Cal
law operates upon the comfort 0
travelling whites and blacks had thi
to say with reference to the negro
"Now on our road" (the South
erp) he added, she, (the negro) get
the long end of the rope. His &C
commodations are equal to those Q

twenty-five letters from colored pee

law was the pet "white supremacy

premacy."
