BILL ARP FAvoRs A WALL
Northerners Hate the South Any Way
The Negro Question Not In IL.

up tnlnRS, anu tn9 SOuJn matters up In
Gods country would call of the dogs,
but they are still blowing the same old
horn. They are hard up, however.
Some OF the hounds have lost the trail
and oil are scattered and there is no
Keynote to rally them-the bugler's
don't harmonic. Some said that the
riot In New York was owing to
corrupt Democratic administration in
that city. The Akron horror called
Tor another solution, and now they
boast that they saved the niger, but
II 1t had been down South he would
nave been lynched with Sam Hose
tortures. A late paper cent me as
a marked copy says that Southern
mobocracy has crossed the line aud Is
affecting the lower classes up North,
Just as contagion spreads in unhealthy
regions. 1t all comes from the South,
and there is no quarantine to arrest It's
progress. That's bad and sad. Let's
build wall.
But seriously we must warn our good
negroes not to cross the line. 1t Ia
dangerous. Keep away from Pana
and New York. Stay at home and
cultivate our cotton ana corn and let
politics alone and you are in no DANCE
| ldleness Is your curse. lf | had my
way would re establish tho old patrol
| system and make every tramp negro
carry pass or take u whipping.
| would empower the town marshals and
the country cOEstables to arrest every
vagabond on the highway and II he
couldent give good account OF himself
he should be tied up and dressed down.
We old meh know that one good
! whipping has more effect on bad
negro than five years In the chatngang
Even hanging Is glory, for they are
going straight to Heaven.
Last Saturday night u tramp negro
cut the slat from the blind of Mr..
Cary's house and opened 1T and crawled
In and stole his paternal gold watch
and his pocket book within three feet
OF mis- head, while he was sleeping. No
doubt he was armed, and would havo
shot MIR. Cary had he walked up and
resisted. The negro took night
| freight and was arrested at Kingston,
and the watch was recovered, but he
| got away. We have got to do something
with these tramps. Our chaingangs
| are full enough. | repeat 1t, that no
good Industrious negro is in any danger
in the South, and they know 1t. jim
Smith Is the biggest farmer in the
State, and he says there is no labor In
tho world equal to that of well
regulated negroes, and he knows.
But the spirit OF mobUcracy is not
| confined to the race problem up
| North. The lynching last Saturday At
Gilman, In Illinois, wHs against an old,
| defensoless white wOman-a dOctress
who was suspected OF causing u young
girls death by NAL p -actice, but who
had not had trial, nor had any
Intention to harm the erring girl. a
mob o. 25O men attacked her house la
the night, and she defended hersclf
and her home and killed and wounded
as many as she could. They mortally
wounded her and burned her house.
| What kind Of civilization Ia that =?
| Why dident they hunt up the man
who ruined the girl Oar civilization
down South has always protected
women, 40 matter what they did. We
| will not hang them for murder, for
even old Mrs. Mobiles was sent to the
| chaingang.
Our women must have protection
from white brutes and black iiends, and
! We would have rejoiced II somebody
had have given that scoundrel, DR..
| Wllkerson, who ran away with his
wife's sister, q hundred lashes before
he WAS turned loose in Atlanta. That
was good case for u little mob law.
| II the law could not reach him the lash
| would. Poor, helpless, pitiful woman.
How you have to suffer in silence
and live and die with your wrongs
unaVenged. How many hearts are
breaking now because OF husbands
| tyranny or his aithlessness TO his
marriage vows. For her children's
SAKE she keeps silent and buries her
| secret in her bosom. | know of men
who made fame while living, and on
whose monuments fulsOme epitaphs are
cIiseled who disgraced and dishOnored
the name OF husband. | know some
who are not dead who are doing the
same thing now. - woman chained to
an unprinciplcd man Is the most helpless
creature upon Garth. Prometheus,
| bound to the rock and the eagles eating
| his heart, WAS not worse or.
Blackstone says there is no wrong
| but has remedy. He was mistaken.
| Women have u thousand wrongs that
| are remediless. What kind of remedy
| is divorce or separation or alimopyp
| 1t Is the heart that is broken. 1t Is
| love and honor that woman wants, and
was promised her at the altar. If, as
last resort she leaves him, he struts
around and claims the children. THE
children are mine," he says. The mau
who says that is Il conceited fool. In
the frat place he does not know for
certain that he is their father, and II
he Is, he made no sacrifice to be 60 All
tho pain OF motherhood Is hers. All
| the tender care and nursing and night
watching and generally all the prayers
for their safety and good conduct are
hers, while he is at his bank or store
| or Office or shop or maybe at his club
or billiard table. There was a time
when the wife was the husbands slave,
according to the law, and the children
were his property, and it is hard TO
eradicate that idea from some mems
minds In our day. Woman has been
called the weaker vessel, and mon the
lords OF creation SO long that 1t won't
obliterate.
! Girls, DO careful to whom you chain
yourself for life. Better sow or be u
shop girl or Il typewriter or Is school
teacher or live with kindred or friends
and do homework than take any risks.
Marry young mau who has good
principles and good habits, and not
much money. The love of money is
still the same old curse, and most Of
the young men want to make IT. by
short cuts and dishonest practices.
Get money, get it honestly, il thou
canst, but at all events, got money" is
still their motto. The eager, grasplng
pursuit OF money Ia the curse of this
age and generation. Huntington is
dead, and left his millions behind.

purchasable, and when 1t was to his
