they will cast their ballots. Let
this demand be made, then if dis
aster shall come let the blame lie
on those who hold the reinsS of
government and safety of our
government in their hands. The.
purpose of the government guar
antees the protection of life and
property. Then let us have pro-
lection from these brutes who are
continually rowing our country
districts. Country life is happy
and pleasant, but disagreeable
when tormented by these wretch
es who seek to devour the life
blood of our fair women of the
south, especially the country
women, who are the greatest ex-
posed. Farmers are told to arm
their wives and daughters and
teach them how to shoot. My
Lord has the time come when
our mothers and daughters have
got to arm themselves with pistols
and rifles to be safe when left
alone And yet men in author

Now the above is the content-S

and simple; not on account OF the
hatred for the race, but on acz
count of these dastardly crimess
that are being committed. Many
believe that behind it all there is
mystery, that when revealed
will expose a plot and scheme
that is known to q majority OF
their race. 1t may not be known
to the papers and public general
ly, this race has in our own coin-

attend regularly, the purpose and
object of which is not known.

if this does not find its way to the
