PROF. BASSETT UPHELD.

MUCH comment has been made on
the rather remarkable article of PROF.
JOHN SPENCER BAssETT, which appear
ed i'll the SOUTH ATLANTIC QUARTERLY
for October. PROF BAssETT discussed
the Negro, and being liberal minded
southerner, who was and is afflicted
with the al ment of saying what he
thinks, he naturally brought down up
OIL himself the condemnation of every
Negro hating white man in North Caro-
lima. Editor JosEPHUs DANIELS, of the
Raleigh News AND OBSERVER led in
the crusade against PROF. BAsSETT, and
made the demand for his resignation.
The distinguished southerner met him
more than half way and rendered his
resignation 10 the trustees of Trinity
College at Durham, n. O. A session of
that body was held for seven hours Dec.
LIST. 1908, and it reached conclusion,
declining to accept the resignation of
PROF. BAssETT, declaring that to do so
would be to limit or destroy academic
liberty. This was very high ground
| and the students celebrated the decision
by ringing the college bell and burning
Editor JosEPHUs DANIELS in effigy. The
specific cause Of this condemnation of
PROF. BAssETT may be found in the fol-
lowing words: l
| IA man whose mind runs away into
baseless optimism is apt to point to
Booker T. Washington as product of
the Negro race. Now Washington is a
great and good man, Christian states
man, and take him all in all the great

South III a hundred years; but he is not
a typical Negro. Hetdoes not eve, repre-
sent the better class of Negroes; he is

is, it Ia probable that he would hav. re-

The race, even the best of them, are SC
far behind him that we cannot in rea-
son look for his reproduction in the pres
ent generation. IJ is, therefore, toe

THREE COLORED MEN LYNCHED.

Phil DAVIS, Waller CARTER and
CLINT THOMAS, colored men, were
lynched near Belcher, Louisiana, which
is twenty miles from Shreveport, Nov.
30th upon the charge of having fatally
shot a white man named ROBERT AD-
GER. Twelve hundred white and col
ored people witnessed the execution,
which partook of the nature of a picnic.
Colored men are alleged to have TAX
en- part in the man. hunt and so valua-
BILE were the services of one of them in
this particular that he was presented
with purse of 500. This is the pecu-
liar part of southern life. We do not
know of a Negro k ling of this sort,
but what some other Negro did not
make himself one of the leading char
acters in hunting the alleged culpri5 TO
his death.
Some people would naturally con-
clude that this would have a tendency
To relieve the cDlored people in that To-
cality of all responsibility for the action
of the guilty party, but it does not.
On the other hand, the Negro. haters
become more intoleraut and it is not
many days or weeks before some overt
act on the part of the white hoodlums
precipitates more blood-shed with the
consequent slaughter OF the innocent.
What excuse can be given for this
murderous violation OF the law on the
part of the mob? It is admitted that
both white and colored people were Bit
terly against the oulprlts and that the
jurles III this locality are composed ex-
clusively of white men. These cnlored
men had absolutely no chance TO escape
AMI their execution by due process of
law was foregone conclusion.
Colored people cannot afford to be
parties TO such lawlessuess and it is to
be regretted that in yielding to the pre-.
vailing sentiment, they condoued an
act which was nothing more nor less
than murder. The lynchers are now
guilty OF the same crime with which
their victims stood charged. There
were no white ladies to be forced into
court and make a graphic recital OF
their shame 1t was plain case of
shooting with fatal results,

The movement will be conducted out

will be a necessary qualification for
membership. The platform of the or

party. The tentative platform contem-
plates among other reforms the cleo

ownership of communication and
transportation facilities and municipal
ownership of other public utilities,
abolition of the fee system and the
adoption of the initiative and referen-

HAS 1900 CASES OF TYPHOID
Butler, Pa. at the Merry of a Serious
ERiiemic

Butler, Pa. at the Merry of Serious
Epidemic
Butler. Pa, Nov. 30.-Since the 18th
of September this town has had over
1900 cases of typhoid fever and %
deaths. The state board of health In.
vestigated the cause of the unusual
conditions and issued a statement in
which they say the borough of But.
Ter has been visited with a serious
epidemic of typhoid fever in it's vari
Gus types, and that the cause is the
pollution of the water used in the
greater part of the borough. The pol
luton is clearly traceable to cases OF
typhoid fever in close proximity to
Thorn Run dam. the reservoir of the
Butler Water company.
The board found that the premises
surrounding the farm house from
which the fever drainage was carried
into the Thorn Run reservoir had been
thoroughly ditched so no drainage can
now reach the dam.
A meeting of the general relief com.
mittee was held and the finance co n.
mittee reported $4,000 raised. Fl ty
cots have been placed in the aban.
doned pickle factory near here, and
the residence of Gobhart Wagner has
been fitted up as temporary hos
pital. In response to appeals, nurses
are arriving on every train, but do
nestle help to wash the clothes and
bedding of the patients is as badly
needed as nurses.
Father L. A. Carroll. who has 125
fever patients in his own congregation,
makes this statement:
"The people of Butler are at the
mercy of typhoid fever. We need girls
to work and who know something
about nursing. AS you love God ami
your neighbor. come to Buffers as.
