What monstrouS 1alSehood to say
that the southern negro is dehumaniz-
ed. Right here in our town every negro
mechanic is employed at good wages.
BlacksmithS. carpenters. masons, paint
ers, draymcn are all busy. Cooks. nurs-
es and washerwomeh find constant enl-
ployment-and they are not only con
tented. but sometimes dare to lie merry
and laugh. Where did Sledd get all that
rot about kicking and cursing and beat
ing the negro? We never hear of such
treatment in this region. MIR. Milan, a
truthful gentleman. whose business.
Keeps him on the street. told me the
other day that he had heard but one
oath uttered by anybody within a year.

wards a negro vino asked him a civil
question. Dehumanized. indeed Ask
Tribble and Brown who give their
shops the most patronage. What ridicu-
lous folly to demand seats in our
churches for the negroes. They have
churches OF their own that were built
mainly by the charity of the white
folks. They don't want seats in our
churches. They have schools of their
own that we support and they have cX-
cursions and baseball and watermelons
and funerals ana Daughters of Zion
Oh. for shame on Slcdd! pity his fam
ilv and his kindred. He thinks he has
found mares nest. and for lack Of
something fresh has rakcs up Sam
Hose again. He laments the lynchings,
but not the outragcs, and he proposes
a remedy. Mr.. Sledd can set this down
that the lynchings will not stop until
the outrages do. When a negro dehu-
manizes himself and becomes beast
he ought to be lynched. whether il is
Sunday or Monday Let the lynchine
go on. This is the sentiment of our
people. and let Boston and the Atlantic
Monthly and Sledd howl We arc used
TO that. Not long ago we had a lynchine
in Rome that was TO my notion. The

play has enjoyed Il long run in the
metropolis where it was one of the
seasons theatrical sensations. Mr..
Fitch has out done his former efforts
in the production Of bizarre and un-
usual situations. The story is that
of Mr.. and Mrs. Croydon, who belong
to the New York smart set and are a
happily married couple with but one
regret, their ckiIdlcssncss Croydcn
is politically ambitious and aspires to
the governorship to New York state.

household has taken place after twelve
years, is the innocent cause Of scan
