ARP FAVORS A WALL
He Says Northerners Haze the
South Anyway.
NEGRO ISSUE NOT IN 1T
Recent Race Riots North of Mason and
Dsxon's Line Discussed
by Bill.

We thought that maybe the late
up things, and the South haters up in
Gods country would call off the doys.
but they are still blowing the same
old horn. They are hard up. however
Some of the hounds have lost the trail,
and all are scattered and there is no
keynote to rally them-the buglers
don't harmonic. Some said that the
riot in New York was owing to q
corrupt Democratic admins rafion IN
that city. The Akron horror called
for another solut Ion. and now thew
boast that Trey saved the niger, but
IL 1T had- been down South he would
have heva lynched with Sam Hose
vortua@s. A late paper sent me as a
hnaFNed copy says that Southern mob
tscfacy has crossed the line and is
affecting the lower classes up North,
just as a contagion spreads in unheal-
thy regions, It all comes from the
South, anti there is no quarantine to
arrest Its progress. That's bad and
sad Let's build a wall
But seriously we must warn our
good negfUes not to cross the line. 1t
Is dangerous. Keep away from Pana,
ont New York. Stay at home and
@"itivate our cotton and corn and let
politics alone and you are in no dan

and dressed down. We old men know
that one good whipping has more eff

in the cbaingang. Even a hanging is
glory, for they are going straight to
heaven. Last Saturday night a tramp
negro cut the Stat from the blind of
Mr.. Cary's house and opened it and
crawled in and stole his paternal gold
watch and his pocket book within
three feet of his head, while he was
sleeping. No doubt he was armed,
and would have shot Mr.. Cary had
he walked up and resisted. The negro
took night freight and was arrested
at Kingston, and the watch was re-
covered, but he got away. We have
got to do something with these
tramps. Our chaingangs are full
enough. lsrepeat it, that no good, in

the South, and they know it. jim

But the spirit of mobocracy is not
confined to the race problem up
North. The lynching last Saturday
at Gilman, in Illinois, was against an
old defenseless white woman-a doe
tress who was suspected of causing
young girls death by malpractice,
but who had not had a trial, nor had
any intention to harm the erring girl.
4 mob of go men attacked her house
i'm the night, and she defended herself
and her home and killed and wound
ed as many as she could. They NOR
tally wounded her and burned her
house What kind of civilization is
that? Why didn't they hunt up the
man who ruined the girl? Our civil

tected women, no matter what they
did We will not hang them for MUIR

to the chaingahg. Our women must
have protection from white brutes
and black 1iends, and we would have
rcioiced il somebody had given
