Editor OF The Times:
Sir-I see in Sundays Times an article
from Ashland, Va, signed,s j. B. Hall.
on suffrage. I am surprised to see the
different channels in which minds run,
why here is a. man VINO wants 20 SEQ
men fdisfranchised becalse he has been SD
unfortunate as not to be born. with sur
rounding circumstances that place him
educationa..y the equal of the man born
with q. silver spoon Il, lis mouth. see?
Is this according to the railing of .icsus?
Thou shalt love the Lord first. Then
thv neignJy..l-, Then we should not be
Tespecter of person. except Suffrage was
not by any means Contemplated to be
placed, in the servants hands.+Sf did
not intend it, and man shoaid not aGc2l

makes the distinctions. and her makes it on
the color line and the feature line But
in 10 sense does he recommenu property
uuaitiica ton to the Anglo-Saxon race.

Now what we need is men with courage
of their conviction. draw the color line
under the authority OF God. as you co
matrmony. THOSE whom God hath join
ed together let not man put asunder, see?
Those whom God has made servants of
servants, let not man .eXalt TO pc
rulers.
