Five Prominent Whites Marked for Slaughter.

Columbia, s. G. July 5.-Against the
protest of the people of Norway the
troops sent from Columbia by the Gov.
ernor last night were withdrawn this
afternoon on special train. The town
was then quiet and the assistant adjutant
general did not believe danger was
imminent. Norway people, however,
say that John Evaus, the white man who
is the father of Charles Evans, the
young mulatto lynched last Tuesday, is
leading the negroes. Five men who are
supposed 20 have led the mob have
received word that they are marked for
slaughter. These are the chief business
men in town and the community is
nervous. Many farmers have left their
isolated homes and come to Norway.
The negroes havo congregated at Freed
mans Hill, a negro village miles from
Norway. The people wished the militia
to disperse them and arrest the ring
leaders, but the assistant adjutant gem
eral would not permit the move. The
women and children are concentrated In
their houses in the center of town, and
these are guarded by men with magazine
rifles. The negroes are still congregated
at their camp, but the feeling here is
that they will not attack. There are
about sixty armed whites In Norway.

Louisville, July 9 Before an i'm mense
Iaudience Booker I. Washington, head Of
tho Tuskegee institute, last Thursday
delivered an address. He said that recent
Iregrettable events in connection with the
race question went 20 show that the
lynch law is not confined to any one
section of the country. TheBe events, ,he
said, tend TO simplify the race problem
by making it national. He appealed to
the negroes to be calm and to exsrcise
self control. Among the other speakers
was w. III. Lewis, Assistant District.
Attorney OF Massachusetts. Washington
said In part:
! 'In the present season Of anxiety and
almost of despair. which possesses an.
element OF the race, there arc two
things wish 20 say as strongly as
may:
First. Lot no man OF the race be-
come discouraged or hopeless. There
are In this country, North and South,
men who mean TO see that Justice lis
meted out to the race. Sneh q man is
Judge Jones. OF Alabama, to whom
much credit should be given for blotting
out that infamous system of peonage
than 10 any other man.
Second. Let MS keep before us tho
| fact that, almost without exception.
every race or nation that has ever got
upon its feet has done 30 through strng-
giles and trials and persecution.
mo one should seek to close his ewes
to the fact that the race is passing
through very serious aud trying period
OF It's development, o period that calls
Tor the use of our ripest thought and
sober judgment
"i.et nothing lead us into extremes of
utterance or action. It is, in the long
ri ft.sAr \ ~.
| cises the most patience, forbearance and
self control in the midst of trying condi-
l'tions that wins it's cause. Let nothing
| induce us to descend to the level of the
MOB. ln advocating this policy L am
not asking that the negro art the cow
! ard we are not towards. The part we
have played in defending the flag of our
| country is sufficient evidence of oar
| courage. r.
"The outbreaks of the mob empha-
size two lessons, one for our race and
| 0ne for the other citizeus of our country.
South and North; for it is to he noted
| that the work of the lyncher is not con-
fined to one section of the country The
lesscn foi us is that we should SEQ to il
that 30 far as influence of parent school
or pulpit is concerned, no effort be spared
TO impress on our own people that idle
ness and crime should cease. We should
let the world know ON all proper ocoa
I sions That we consider no legal punish
tnent too severe for the wretch of any
race who attempts to outrage woman.
The lesson for the other portion of
the nation to learn is that both in the
| making and in the execution the same
law should be made to apply to the me-
gro as to the white man.
"There should be melted out equal
justice { , the black man and the white
man. Whenever the nation forgets, or is
tempted TO forget, its basic principles,
| the white man and the black man ia
threatened with destruction. This is true
whether it relates to conditions in Texas,
in Indiana or Delaware. 1t is with q
nation as with an individual; whatever
We SOW, that shall we also reap. If we
SOW crime we shall reap lawlessness."

Wants Negroes In Congress.

Senator Hopkins, of Illinois, was one
of the speakers at meeting held in
Chicago few days ago for the purpose
of condemning the recent lynching of
the negro rapist at Belloville, III. In
part he said:
"In my eighteen years of service in
Congress it has been my pleasure to
mark the ability of score of negro
Congressman, who represented at one
time the States of Mississippi, Alabama
and Louisiana. 1t is a shame and dis
grace to these States that there are no
longer men of color in their Congress
sional delegations. 1t is shame to tho
nation that the hewers of wood and the
drawers of water in those States arc not
represented by men of their own class,
and, until public sentiment shall be
aroused and these States return negroes
to Congress, it will continue to be dis
grace to the United States"
