also quietly dispersed. Lynching
parties are all wrong, but such
lynchings as recorded above seem

Georgia's white citizens con
tinue to use the shot gun to pre-
vent the criminal (?) Negroes, who
outrage innocent white women by
the wholesale, (if previous reports
from there are to be believed) from
emigrating from that state to other
sections Of the world and country.
But few days ago and 160 color
ed families had collected at rail
road station to leave the state and
thereby lessen the number Of in
nocent white women annually
outraged by Negroes, whereupon
the farmers commanded the rail
road companies to not permit
them to 60 aboard. Fictitious
warrants were sworn out to detain
them and when the Negroes resist

South wants the Negro as a serv-
ant and any attempt on the part of

justly, SO long as the colored man
sat on the jury, was one of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry, one of
those who stormed San Juan hill
and then, after the city s surrender,
became volunteer nurse to wait
upon the wounded and fever
patients in the hospital. He is,
moreover, good scholar and
writer. He can comfort himself
with the thought that neither in
school, in battle, nor hospital
would the juror have been in his
class.-Salt Lake City Tribune.
IL. A. Rucker, Ell. L. johnson

Not much t1anspires in the
United States whether North,
South, East or West, but what the
Negro is sooner or later roped
into it. 1t is now claimed that it
was Negro = Dis Combs
that killed Goebel Of Kentucky at
the request of leading Republi-
cans. Members Of the Republi-
