WOODS MUST BE ELECTED.

Perhaps of the Republicans of the Second Congress
sonal District not thoroughly aroused the importance
of eecting nominee for Congress There great danger
that the Bryante free silver advocates WILL by Tuesdays
election gain control of the lower House of the Fyseventh
Congress they gain representatives from eight districts
and keep what they have they will be in the majority.
They will probably gain three in North Carolina and
at least FIVE other districts represented by sound
money that they likely carry this year. 1t will be
difficult for the sound money people prevent the Bryanes
gaining the districts mentioned and it will be equally diff
cult for the sound money people gain districts
1t is scarcely possible for people, under present favor
able conditions realize that the verge of caa-
y that will certainly destroy the present commercial
perty If the Bryanes control the lower House they will
certainly express of the gold standard
of free silver bill The Senate would confirm it, but the
simple fact that House of Congress- after the
of the gold standard law should
step would undo present splendid financial rating
Creditors would loose faith stability continuity
purpose and commercial confidence would be shaken to
mendous untold loss Labor and capital would suffer several
years of inactivity and distress.
With these statements accepted the plain TRUTH will
any thoughtful be willing take any risk? Will any
thoughtful without effort in this campaign?
What is be done? Every patriot who loves his countrys
good every citizen who understands the necessity
of the employment of people, bend his back in
effort resist the wrong with which demagogue would
burden
In every Congressional district the country the friends
of sound money should put forth every possible honorable
favorable candidates committed sound
money law It is absolutely necessary gain dis
tric and struggle necessary many that
represented by sound money members.
By helping elect Sam D. Woods we hope to save the
people from the disaster that threatens them Mr. Woods
be supported by all possible cooperation The interests
of every industry in Amador county meaaced Our busi
and people generally afford to take any
chances Let u.s. therefore, give the Republican candidate for
Congress in this district big boost toward Washington

JUDGE eooDwYN's CHARGE.

JUDes W. SAMUEL GooDwYN's charge
to the grand jury at Emporis, Va,
Monday, April 2Dd, 1900. WAS all tn ut
could have been desired. II was an
able document and when we noted the
result OF the grand jury's deliberations
the failure to bring in an Indictment
against the lynchers, who were known
to the members of that body, we felt
constrained to believe that the humili-
alton OF Virginia was complete.
There is something strangely psthe-
tic in Judge GooDwYs's Gaze. 1t is
evident that he desired and attempted
80 uphold the law.
What else could have meant his APP
peal to the Governor for troops, the
refusal OF that official TO send them un.
less the request was counter signed by
the sheriff 2
The fault was the Judge yielded to
the pressure. He was threatened with
dynamite. When the pressure was
partially removed, he regaised his
composure and made an effort to do
his whole duty.
he now announces his intention to
resign his offi,e, showing plainly
that be feels the humiliation of his
position.

THE TIMES AND THE DooroR.

The Richmond, Va, TINES is suffer-
ing from severe attack OF Negro cpl
sooty, better known as Negrophobis.
Its symptoms are disposition to dis
cuss oil matters, however trivial, which
pertains to the Negro, and to show that
he is unworthy, incapable and not en-
titled to enjoy the rights and privileg-
es which the laws of the country guar
sntee to him.

In the person of DR.. P. B. BARRINeER OF
the University OF Virginia has succeed
ed in showing one of his Negro hating
pamphlets under its nose and it at
once proceeds to gulp down all of the
strsnge doctrine which its pages con-
tain.
The TINES remarks that the white
man must lift the Negro up or he will
pull him down.
That is basic principle applicable to
black and white alike. The intelligent
must lift up the unintelligent of both
races or must be dragged down to their
level.
But it will not be men like DR.. BAR
RINGER who will perform this service.
They are in the business stirring up
race prejudice, and we pause to re-
mark that any man who attempts to
array one race or class against another
race or class is the enemy Of both.

WANTED 10 LYNCH him.

The following statement was pub.
lished in the daily papers Friday, Both
ulI 1t has occasiened much com.
ment:
"The boys of the East-Epd of Rich
mond, who had been having trouble
with the Negroes of that section, b.
came 30 enraged that or last Tuesd ay
they decided to take the matter at
once in hand and lynch the offenders
after the most approved Emporia rule
and regulation.
ION Tuesday they found one Negro,
Philip Smith, boy about twelve years
old, and drove him fro " the neighbor-
hood with rocks. The colored boy
was much frightened, and rushed into
the fSont porch of Mrs. Vestals resi-
dence. and furiously rang the bell.
Mrs. Vestal opened the door, aud Phil
ip ran into the hall, pleading to her to
save his life, and saying, that the bow
we're going to kill him.
THE boys had assembled around
the front gate, and demanded the Ne
gro. The lady refused to give up the
dark and the boys said that they
would get him il they had to die.
They talked roughly to the lady, who
saw that she could do nothing with
them. and at once sent her servant for
Special Policeman GARRETT.
'As the officer came up the crowd
dispersed, but two of the leaders were
taken into custody, and two others
recognized. Tue boys wers Albert
Lloyd, George stain, Willie CLARK and
Dock Dickerson. The case came up
before Justice James L. Lewis, of Hen
rico county, and all of them, except
CLARK, who was not implicated e the
disturbance, were fined $3.50 and costs
each"
Yes, lynching is demoralizing to
young and old. Had colored boys at
tempted the same upon a white boy,
they would have languished in Jail
about twelve months, or been canji-
dates for the penitentisry for ate mpt-
ing felony.
The punishment melted was no doubt
salutsry, and will prevent g repeti-
ton of the offense in other sections
Of the city.
