The lynchers cure all the patients that
fall into their hands. but they fall TO
prevent tho heinous crimes OF others.
There arc so many worthless negroes
educated by tho northern Improved
system, that the crime Is greatly on the
Increase both North and South, The most
effective way to check It, would be for
the colored people to form associations OF
their own and summarily execute every
negro guilty OF an outrage. It they find
any particularly vicious and likely to
commit crimes of that kind. It would
be we'll to give them some remedy in
advance, Tho colored people have It in
their bower to prevent these outrags. and
at tho same time protect Themselves and
families from the vicious element OF their
