THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY.

IT is time for the United States Gov
eminent to call the attention of the
states TO the violation of that Article of
the Federal Constitution which pro-
vides that cruel and unusual punish
ments shall not be resorted to.
This time HENRY NoLEs, (colored)
charged with assaulting and shooting
TO death Mrs. CHARLES WILLIAMS
(white) was taken from the officers of
the law at Winchester, Tenn, Sunday,
August 25th, 1901 and carried to the
scene of the alleged crime, where he
was burned at the stake.
About 5000 people are said TO have
witnessed the execution. 1t should not
be forgotten that NoLEs was not charged
with criminal assault.
The surprising part about the affair
was that the appeal for the observance
of the law was made by Judge J. J.
LYNCH, Capt. w. P. ToLLEy, Assist
ant Attorney General n. NJ. WHrTTAK-
Err and the sheriff of the county.
Despite all this, he was hurried away
and burned at the stake.
What excuse can be offered? His
conviction was a foregone conclusion
and yet the mob with the delight of de-
mons went back to the fortunes of the
Middle Ages and burned him.
Will the American people longer toll
crate these attractions of the law? Will
they stand mute while the Governor of
Tennessee permits this atrocious crime
to take place within the confines of his
state?
NoLEs' crime was bad enough, but
it was no worse than the one with
which his murderers now stand charged.
Such outrages are brutalizing to the
communities in which they occur and
emphasize the fact that lynch-law
must go and the lynchers with it.

SCYTHE-BLADE AS A WEAPON.

WE have been on the lookout for an
other colored man who would deserve the
commentator of every right-thinling
colored man in the United States aud we
have just found him. His name is
4 ENoCH HENDERSON and he is a farmer,
who lives at Moulton Heights, Ala
bama.
1t seems that HENDERSON had a diff
Guilty with white man named Ora
HAM, whose farm adjoins his property
and as a result the white mans head
came in contact with brick which was
said TO have been thrown by HENDER-
SON.
That HENDERSON had the law on his
side admits of no question, for instead
of having the colored man arrested, a
mob of twenty-five white men was
formed and proceeded TO attack HEN
DERsoN's cabin Sunday night, August
%, 1901, with the evident intention of
lynching him.
1t was about midnight when they ar
rived there. The excitement which fol-
lowed can be easily imagined for the
mob opened fire upon the cabin and
broke down the front door.
HENDERSON had retreated to the attic.
The men started upstairs, one leading
with lamp and a gun in his hands.
He assembled the stairway unmindful of
the danger, for just above was HENDER-
SON with sharp scythe-blade in his
hands.
He grasped it firmly and as that head
assembled, holding it with both hands,
he let it down with all the force God
had given him, fully into the face of
the armed leader of the mob. He fell
TO the floor and was carried away by
his friends. The mob did not seek any
further into the secrets of that attic and
Brother HENDERSON was permitted to
rest in undisturbed repose.
No report has as yet been received
even of his arrest. 1t is evident that
the mob knew that ENoCH HENDERSON
was unarmed and thought to clean him
out in short order.
| This is the way to deal with cowardly
mobs. Every colored man should buy a
shotgun or a repeating rife and learn
how to use it. There is absolutely no
protection in this section down here for
a colored man, save that which he pro-
vides for himself
Mobs are cowardly. One brave man
behind trusty rifle can hold off hun
dred.
We might as well die fighting as any
other way, and each and every man,
white or colored, when attacked in this
manner should give good account of
himself. Lynchers should be taught
lesson after lesson. When they under
stand that every Negro lynched will
have one or more lynchers to accompa-
ny him to the other world, he'll think a
long time before he invites any one of
those kind of Negroes to take the jour
ney. Lynch-law must go!

A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.

a peculiar case is reported from APP.
pomatox county, Va. 1t resulted in the
unfortunate, but justifable killing of
THOMAS BRIGHTwELL (white) Friday,
August 30, 1901
We arrived at this conclusion after a
careful consideration of the statements
made by the white people who told the
story which we reproduce elsewhere.
1t is a settled fact that BRIGHTwELL
had rented or leased the farm to col.
ored family named ROBERTSON. 1t is
conceded that after so doing, he unlaw'
fully went to this farm and proceeded
ITO gather fruit. 1t is admitted that
when he was ordered not so to do, ne
persisted and went so far as to follow
the two colored girls into the cabin fol
the purpose of injuring them.
When BRIGHTwELL crossed the thres
mold of that door against the protests OF
che occupants, he took his life in his
own hands. Those girls had a right tc
defend themselves and when his head
appeared above the level of the stair.

nothing to do but hit it, and this LoTTIE

This killing does not in law consti.

When he rented the farm and its cabin
so RoBERTsoN's family, 1T passed out OF
his possession and his rights there ceas-
ed until the lease expired and he again
secured possession.
We regret the killing, but what was
Shis frightened girl, LoTTIE to do?
Country girl that she Is, it is evident
that she possesses the elements of char

these cowardly colored men to initiate.

RAIN FLOODS CLEVELAND
Terrific Storm 0verhows City's
Finest Residence Portion.
DAMAGE AMOUNTS TO A MILLION

of Strawberries Washed Out and
corpses WhirIed Through the
Streets--No Loss Of Life Reported.
Cleveland. o., Sept. with the
breaking of dawn yesterday morning
the citizens of Cleveland awoke to
look upon a scene of unparalleled dew
astation and destruction caused by a
raging food. While the entire city
was more or less affected, the great
volume OF raging water vented it's
anger over miles Of the eastern por-
ton of the city, and caused an amount
Of damage Appropriated at $1,000
600. Theappalling overflowwa caused
by terrific rain that commenced to
fall shortly after o'clock, which
turned into a perfect cloudburst be-
tween the hours of 3 and 5, and then
continued with great force until near
ly 10 o'clock. The storm. according
to the weather officials. was the heav-
Test that ever swept over Cleveland
since the establishment of the gov
eminent bureau in this city over 40
years ago. That no lives were lost is
nothing short OF a miracle. as the
stories Of thrilling escapes from the
water on several of the principal resi-
dent streets of the city are told.
Great volumes of water poured over
from Doan and Giddings brooks down
Quincy street, swamped Vienna street
rushed over Cedar avenue back over
on East Prospect street, rushed like a
mill race down Lincoln avenue to Eu-
cid avenue, and then on to Glen Park
place where houses were undermined
as though built of straw and almost
incredible damage done to streets and
property
Over large share Of this exclusive
residence territory the water rushed
with terrific force varying in depth
from to s feet. Culverts, trestles and
bridges were torn down and for hours
nothing seemed capable of stemming
the tide of destruction.
Shortly before noon the torrent sue
ceeded in undermining q score OF
graves in the st. Joseph cemetery al
the corner of East Madison and Wood
land, and the bodies were soon being
tossed about in the waters. Fully q
dozen OF the corpSe5 were washed into
cutters and had not been recovered
early this morning
A remarkable feature OF the storm
which caused such terrific destruction
is that up until O'Clock yesterday
morning hardly a drop OF rain fell west
OF Wilson avenue while during the
morning hours the esst end was being
fairly swamped in perfect deluge OF
rain. Another remarkable thing is
that no thunder and lightning accom-
panied the Notwithstanding downfall
While thousands OF citizens in the mos,
aristocratic section OF the city were
aroused. seeing thousands upon thou
sands OF dollars worth OF their prop
erty being crushed and destroyed, an
other and greater portion OF the city
was wrapped in slumber totally OBJ
livious to the danger surrounding their
fellow citizens.
