New York and Akron riots would even
Gods country would call on the dogs,
but they are still blowing the same old
horn. They arc hard up, however.
Some Of the hounds haze lost tho trail
and all are scattered aud thore is no
Keynote to rally them--tho buEler's
don't harmoniHa. Some said that the
riot In New York was owing to a
corrupt Democratic administration in
that city. The Akron horror called
Tor another solution, and now they
boast that they saved tho niger, but
II 1T had been down South ho would
have been lynchcd with Sam Hose
tortnrcs. a latc paper sent mo as
u marked copy says that Southern
mobocracy has crossed the line and Ia
affecting the lower classes up North,
Just as Il Contag lon spreads in unhealthy y
reglJ lJns. IL all comes from the South,
| anu There Is no quarantine to arrest its
progress. That's bad and sad l.,t'3
build wall.
| But seriously We must warn our good
negroes not to cross the line. 1t il
dangerous. Keep away from panu
and New York. Stay at homo and
cultivate our cotton AMI corn and let
politics alone and yon are ia no danger

way | would re establish the old patrol
system and mako every tramp negro
carry pass or take whipping.
would empower tho town marshals and
the country COEstables to arrest every
vagabond on the highway and II he
cOuldent give u good account OF himself
he should be tied up and dressed down.
| We old meh know that one good
whipping has moro effect ON Il bad
negro than i've years In the chaingang.
Even hanging Is glory, for they are
going straight To Heaven.
| Last Saturday night a tramp negro
cut the slat from tho blind OF Mr..
Cary's house and opened it and craw led
IN and stole his paternal god watch
and his pocket book within three feet
| OF hts head, while he WAS sleeping. No
doubt he was armed, aud would have
shot Mr.. Cary had he walked up and
| resisted. The negro took u 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 chainganps
are full enough. repeat it, that no
good Industrious negro is IN any danger
in The South, and they know It. jim
Smith Is the biggest farmer in the
State, and he snys there Is no labor In
the world equal to that OF well
regulated cgrOcs, and he knows.
, But tho spirit OF mobucracy is not
confined To the race problem up
North. The lynching last Saturday at
Gilman, in Illinois, was against an old
defenscless white wOman-a dOctress,
who was suspected Of causing a young
girls death by NAL p racIicc. but who
had not had trial, nor had any
| intention to harm the crring girl. 4
mob 0! 250 men attacked her house In
the night, and she defended hursclf
and her home and killed and wounded
as many as ehe could. They murtnlly
wounded her and burned her house.
What kind OF civilization il that :?
Why didcnt they hunt up tho man
! who ruined the girl Our civilization
down South has always protected
women, no matter what they did. We
will not hang them for murder, for
even old Mrs. Mobiles was sent 70 tho
cbaingang.
Our women must have protection
from white brutes and black tiends, and
VIC would have rejoiced if somebod Y
had have given that scoundrel, DR.
Wiikcrson, who ran away with biz
wife's sister, a hundred lashes before
he was turned loose in Atlanta. That
was "a good case for little mob law
If the law could not reach him tho las h
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 q husband g
tyranny or his faithlessness to his
marriage vows. For her chillren's
