Barbecued Coon.

Barbecued negro is a very com
mon occurrence in Georgia and
Alabama. There is an unwritten
law which stands out in no uncer
tain warning to the demon in hu-
man form who, without the fear of
God in his heart, and the wanton
disregard for the laws of morality
and humanity, shall invade the
sacred precincts of the homes of
this land and country, TO satisfy
his fendish desires Just so long
as the rape fend is abroad in the
land just that long viii there be
barbecued coon-or whatever the
color may be; and all the written
laws of man are powerless to pre-
vent it--Hartshorne Sun.
