The generous response made by
the citizens Of Vlnita to the appeal
Of Willie Halsell college for assist
ance in enlarging the scope Of that
institution, is very gratifying to
those who have had the soliciting
Of funds in charge. A small in.
crease in the subscribed amount
will enable the college to erect an
additional cottage that is necessary
to accommodate the large increas Q
in the student body this year
That this small amount necessary
will be obtained is almost certain.
Every subscriber and every one
who has not been given the op.
poriunity should add their mite to
the fund, and thereby encourage
the building up OF this splendid
institution.
The alleged political friends Of
the negro are largely responsible
for the antipathy to the race pre-
valent in the Southern states.
These political demagogues, who
profit by the negro vote, have by
their preaching Of the doctrine Of
race equality, melted the negroes
TO many acts that have brought
terrible reprlsals from outraged
communities. A negro rapist was
unknown in the south until these
renegrads agilators made their
appearance. While the indis.
criminate slaughter Of memoers Of
the race for the act Of some indi
vidual, should meet with the SO.
yerest condemnation, yet the
sanclity Of The southern woman
will be preserved at any cost. II
il il found necessary to use the
stake with all its horrors, il will

for the ignorant brules, and the
preservation Of the unprotected
woman is infinitely more TO be

In operation, and present many
loopholes Of escape. The ultimate
solution OF the negro question vii.
