Virginia gentleman but what think
of that ride and the narrow escape
his brother made. Verify reconstruc-
ton was worse than war. But 1T Is all
over now, thank the good LORD, and
we can hold our reunions and carry
our battle-worn banners and bulld
our monuments and lay the corner
stone for Winnie Davis and lynch the
brutes that assault our wives and
daughters and as Gov. Oates said to-
our defamers in congress: what are
you going to do about lt?' And as ZOE
lynching, / repeat what have said be-
fore: LET the good work go on
Lynch 'em! Hang 'em! Shoot EN-!
Burn 'em." Israel Putnam went into
a cave with torch to shoot the woif
that had devoured the lambs OF his
flock, and Just so I would lynch the
brutes who outrage our women lie
is not human. He is brute, beast,
and all these demonstrations by gov
ernors and Judges and sheriffs are
hypocriticaI and perfunctory. In their
breasts they rejoice in the lynchlng'
And there is another set of hypo-
critics who infect our southern land.
| I mean those who for the sake OF hlthy
lucre and nothing else invite Roose-
velt to visit their city and they prom

any we have ever had. He is con-
| firmed slanderer of a great and good
man. and he knows he slandered him
and will not retract or apologize. Our
women have Just laid corner stone
for a monument to his lamented daugh-
ter and our veterans and members OF
the legislature approved it by their
presence, and yet some OF the same
creatures would invite Roosevelt to Sa-
yapnah and Macon and Augusta.
wouldn't invite any man to my town
whom 7 wouldn't invite to my house,
and no man who fought for the lost
cause or respects Mr.. Davis would do
| that. There is more patriotism To-Day
among our women than among our
men. A friend wrote me from Atlanta
that he was going to have 5000 copies
of Gen. Jackson's great speech on the
'Wanderer" printed in pamphlet FORM
for distribution at small cost among
our people. | have promised to help
him advertise it. but had no idea that
he could sell or hardly give away
thousand copies. for our old men ana
cultured men and patriots were near
" all dead and this generation does
not care whether Gen. Jackson made
a speech or not. l asked college
man if he had ever read it, and ne
seemed surprised and asked who was
Gen. Jackson. Our people who nave
grown up since the war have fallen
into northern lines and are for money.
Money is their ambition, their ldol.
Morgan and Rockefeller have done
more o corrupt the young men OF this
country than all other causes COM
bined. Those who are smart are look
ing for some short cut to fortune
some scheme. some tricky way to shear
the lambs and get somebody's money
for nothing. This is sad, but it is the
truth.
Well, the election is over and we are
inst where we were. We didn't expect
ANYTHING else. Senator Morgan can
/. take comfort. for he said long ago
h that it was best to let the republicans
have the house so long as they had
the senate. Give them rope, all the
rome. and let the country see where
, they will run to, and by the next pres
, idential election the people Will be
/ alarmed and turn the rascals out. So
mote it be.-BilI Arp, in Atlanta Con-
