The Way to Look At 1t,

Editors Of newspapers publ ished in
large cities can sit in their offices sur
rounded by a great population and
write editorials cundemninp the
lynching Of black brutes who assault
white women, butas the Crowford-
vile Democrat puts it,, the fact is
they do not understand or appreciate
the condition in the rural districts OF
the south. Wives and daughters
are forced daily to 20 about
their homes unprotected while
fathers and brothers are away
in the fields toiling for there daily
bread. The triiling. impude..t Scoun-
drcl steals up to the unprotected home
and With his polluted touch despoils
the sacrcdness Of a one happy home.
And to attempt to wipe out such q
crime by the life of the tiend by
strong hands is one OF the first duties
OF southern manhood. Yes, we say
1t with out hesitation and with full
knowledge Of the meaning Of tfles G
words. that the brute should be given
no quarter-and when he has paid the
penalty, placard his dirty carcass with
the sworn fact that thus shall the
SitcrcuneSS OF our homes be protected
against iiends incarnate." Prca chers
may preach and writer's may write
till the end or time, but the newt
able truth remains that just so long
rs assaults continue just so long will
lynchings prevail The virtue of one
pure white girl is worth more to
human kind than all the lives OF tile
black brutcS who have lived since tile
world began In writing what We
have about This matter we want it, dis
Linctly understood that it is not
through race prejudice" We have
the utmost respect for the law-abd-
ing and energetic ColOred man. We
hope to be OF service to him in better
ing his condititn. lie is here
through no fault Of his, and we
would ever assist him in being hap
pier and more c0ntentcd with his lot.

The kidnapping ola young white

crimes charged agalnst&a party OF
eight negroes fortified on Bruces Is
land, sixteen miles I: west of Fort
Smith, Ark. tt is feared their cap
tnre w!ll lead to bloody encounter.
The negroes are said to be we'll armed.
y few days ago two farmers living
near Wilson's Rock, landed on BruceS
Island in search Of plums, and acci.
deptally ran into q camp in which
there were two negro men and q white
girl about twelve years old. They
made some Inquiries about the girl
and the negroes said she was the
daughter Of white man who WAS
travelling with them and who had
gone to Fort Smith for provisions.
The negroes would not let the gill
take part in the conversation and this
aroused suspicion. A watch was he pt
on the negroes for two days, but NO
white man appeared. Monday after
nOon,a party Of farmers decided to in
vestigate tile case, and as they neared
the island, were fired on by the ne
groes, and one of the party, Roland
ny name, was killed. A sharp fight
was kept up for some time, during
which the girl escaped from the ne
groes and ran to the white men. She
was So excited that she could not give
any intelligent account Of herself.
She said, however, that her father
was not travelling with tile negroes,
but that she had been stolen from
her home near Fort Gibson. She has
been taken to Muldrew.
Roland, the dead man, was a com
parative stranger at Wilson's Rock.
Posses Of citizens left for the scene of
the trouble from Fort Smith, Spiro,

COTTON BOIL ROT.
Is Playing Havoc Win Cotton in
Portions Of Georgin.

The Atlanta correspondent of The
Augusta Chronicle says Assistant
State EntomolOgist Newell returned
"Wednesday morning from Gwinnett
county, where he went to Investigate
the supposed boil rot i'm cotton. Mr..
Newell says he found the territory
effected embraced about sixteen
square miles in which there was prob

the Chronicle correspondent Mr.. Nc

About week ago we received some
squares and 6olls from the cutton
fields, In Gwinnctt county, which
appeared to be dccaying badly and
continued large quantities Of bacteria
The indications were that the cotton
had been attacked by boil rot, which
is.a disease that appeared several years
ago in Alabama, and did considerable
damage there. We are not very we'll
equipped with laborated facilities for
investigating these things, So III order
to verify our opinion we sent the ma
tcrial to the department. Of agriculture
at Washington, and that department
reported the finding of the germ
which caused the boil rot. went to
Gwinnctt county yesterday to further
investigate the disease and found 1t

miles, piece of country near Smell

the field, however, 1 am not at all
positive it is the boil rot Which is
entirely to blame for the trouble. We

further investigation Of the trouble,
in cooperation with the authorities
at Washington"
Is the entire crop ruined?n
There is perhaps Il square mile in
which the cotton promises to make nc
crop at all. The squares arc attacked
as quickly as they form upon the

a Rural Police system.

The Georgia Agricultural Society,
In session in Athens Recently, raised
the question OF the advisabiity OF
establishing thorough and efficient
rural police system in Georgia. The
matter: was suggested in the annual
address Of the President, Mr.. White
head, who gave as a reason for the
abandonment Of the farms by many
intelligent and progressive men, the
inadequate protection to their women,
under the present condition of rural
affairs. Judge Emory Spccr, who was
present as a visitor, was called up to
speak, and protesting his ncompct-
ency to discuss agricultural topics,
proceeded To develop the rural police
iuea. Among other things, he said
that the greatest danger TO the rural
districts was the presence Of scatter
ing negroes of a peculiarly brutal
character, descendants of the lowest
and most bcastly or African tribes.
These negroes. lie said, were scarcely
more responsible than wild animals,
and needed TO be held under the strict
est surveillance. The idea OF holding
them in check by means Of one Sheriff
for each county, and an occasional
deputy is absurd, and what the coun-
ty needs is IN efficient patrol, patent
cd after the Texas ranger system. lie
thought there should be two or more
OF these rangers, or rural police for
each township in Il county and the
system should be SO developed that
criminals could be followed from tho
moment Of the commission of their
crime until their arrest. lie suggest.
cd that such n system would 20 far to
doing away with all apparent neceSsi-
ty for mob law, and the rural districts
cOul:l be made as safe rs the towns.
The Judges remarks produced pro.
found Impression upon the society and
there is Il probability that the rural
police idea will seon become an issue
Iii Georgia rs il should in al other
Southern States.

arrested.
When the requisition papers were
presented they were turned down by

fact that the judge and solicitor
