Gods country would call of the dogs,
but they arc still blowing the same
old horn. They are hard up how
ever. Some Of the no olnds have lost
the trail, ana All are scattered and
there is no Keynote to rally thcm-th
buglcrs don't larmonizc. Some said
that the riot in New York was owing
to corrupt democratic administra-
tion in that city. The Akron horror
called for another solution, and now
they boast that they saved the niger,
but if it had been down South he
would hive been lynched with Sam
Hose tortures. a late paper sent me
as marked copy says that southern
mobocracy has crossed the line and is
affecting the lower classes up North,
just as contagion spreads in un-
healthy 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 VIC must warn our
good negroes not to cross the line. 1t
Is dangerous: i..ass Gus. Keep array from Pana
and New York. Stay at home and
cultivate our cotton and corn and let
politics alone and you are in no dan
ger. 1dlcncss is your curse. L. had

would empower the town marshals
and the country cOnstablcs to arrest
every vagabond on the highway and if
he couldcnt give good account Of
himself he should be tied up and
dressed dom. We old men know that
one good whipping has more effect on
bad negro than five years in the
chaingang. Even hanging is glory,
for they are going straight to heaven.
Last Saturday night tramp negro
cut the slat from the blind Of Mr..
Cary's house and opened it and crawl
cd 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 recovered, but he
got away. We have got to do some
thing with these tramps. Our chain
gangs are full enough. I 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 says there
is no labor in the world equal to that
Of well-regulatcd negroes, and he
knows,
But the spirit Of mobooracy is not
confined to the race problem up North.
The lynohing last Saturday at Gill
man, in Illinois, vas against an old
1safenseless white woman--a doctress
who was suspected of causing o young
girls death by malpractice, but who
had not had q trial, nor had any inten-
tion to harm the erring girl. A mob
Of $50 men attacked her house in the
night, and sho defended herself and
her home and killed and wounded as
many as she could. They mortally
wounded her and burned her house.
What kind Of civilization is that?
Why dident they hunt up the man
who ruined the girl? Our civilization
down South has always protected wo-
men, no 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 fiends, and we would have re-
joiced if somebody had have given
that scoundrel, DR.. Wilkerson, who
ran away with his wife's sister, ashun-
dred lashes before he was turned loose
IN Atlanta. That was good case Tor
little mob law. If the law could not
reach him the lash would. Poor, help
less, 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 Of his faith
fulness 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 full
some epitarhs are chiseled who dis
graced and 1;shonored the name of
husband. I know some who are not
dead who are doing the same ;thing
now. A woman chained to an un-
principaled man is the most helpless
