DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

cause it cures diseases OF the stomach
and other organs of digestion and nutr1-

and assimilation of the food eaten, and
so strengthens the body naturally by the
nutrition derived from food.

ored people have no more power or
authority over the lazy. good-for-noth-
ing Negroes than the intelligent, indus
trious, well behaved white people have
over the lazy, good-for nothing whites.
The laws of this country forbid drastic
measures and we can only use the influ-
ence of our displeasure, which counts
but little with this class of worthless
people. Moreover. we are too busy
working to bother with them. We be-
heve, however, III the doctrine that a
person who will not work should not

Let us hope that the white men, who
brought about his downfall and hur-
ried him to his destruction may some
sweet day feel the soothing consolation
administered to them in their dying
hours.
Death comes to all and there will be a
time when this poor, hapless Negroes
case will serve as reminder in some
other. 1t was a little thing to ask, the
granting of a few more days to him.
They were denied and he was hurried to
the gallows. It's all over now. The
troubles are ended. The nights of anx-
iety, the words of sympathy from
friends will come no more to him. Did
we say all was over? Oh, no. The cof-

THE following Geographic report ex-
plains itself:
Henderson, Tex, Oct. Late last
night party of young white men went
to the home of Bob Williams, Negro,
for the purpose of flogging him for some
al eyed offense, not clearly stated. The
Negro warned them not approach, but
they continued to advance. when the
Negro fired, killing Charles Brown, a
young white man recently from Geor-
gia and wounding a young man named
Gersett. The Negro is in the hands of
the sheriff, who will probably spirit him
away to night"
That colored brother had the right kind
of sense. He was strictly within the
letter Of the law, and he knew how to
: shoot. The sheriff evidently has more
respect for him than he has for his
white assailants. There are thousands
of white men in the southland, who
; will say, "Amen to their damnation.''
The hoodlum elements amongst us
have no business with a gun, because,
as a rule, they do not know when to use
it. But the respectable, law-abiding
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1903-10-10

kind should always have on hand a
god shot gun or a repeating rifle. 1t is
about as necessary 10 peace aud happi-
ness down here as an insurance policy
and will ensure respectable treatment
at the hands of the white hoodlum ele.
ment, when all other remedies fail.
The other colored people in Hender-
son, Texas, Will have 10 trouble within
the next five years. And as to fiogging,
why it wont even be thought about by
the admiring white neighbors in that
locality. Great is the gun with a nervy
colored man to use it.

RECOGNIZES NO COLOR NOW.

THE American Federation of Labor
has prepared statement to the public
which is very significant and may have
a far-reaching effect in dealing with
the labor question in the southland. 1t
announces its intention of transferring
its fight to congress. 1t is special
plea against the open shop, declaring
that to permit this would be the death
Of labor-unionism.
The last statement in the document
viii be read with interest by
every colored laborer or mechanic i'm
the United States. Here it is:
| The hope for right and justice here
after, as well as the perpetuation of lib
erty, and our republican institutions,
| lies in organized labor. Therefore,
with the consciousness of the justice
and soundness of our position, we APP
peal to the Judgment of all men, and
! particularly to the toilers of America,
: that they organize, unite. ard federate
without regard TO trade, calling, ma
tionality, locality, sex, politics, color or
religion.
/ Read it again carefully and then read
this list OF names, who signed the adj
dress of which this is an extract. Here
/ they are:
"Fraternally yours,
Samuel Gompers, President.
! James Duncan, First Vice President
John Mitchell, Second Vice Pres.
James O'Connell, Third Vice Pres.
! Mas Morris. Fourth Vice Pres.
Thomas |. Kidd, Fifth Vice Pres.
ID. a. Hayes, Sixth Vice Pres.
| John b. Lennon, Treasurer.
| Frank Morrison, Secretary.
| Executive Council, American
/ Federation of Labor"
What say the labor leaders of Rich
mond? Only short while ago, a col
ored member of labor-unlon from
, Ohio had the door of labor meeting
slammed in his face and he was invited
! TO seat or stand ON the sidewalk, sim
! ply on account of his color We cannot
believe that this ringing call and advi-
sorry statement was inserted for use in
the northern and western States.
1t seems TO us that these far-seeing
| leaders have come to realization of
the fact that there can be no narrow
! platform for the hosts of labor. When
the Negro labor of the Southland is ig
nored and insulted, the last nail in the
coffin of labor-unionism has been driven
! home. Labor cannot afford so antagon-
/ re labor 1t must be united in order
| 20 win or to maintain any advantage
which it may have attained.
If the labor leaders will emphasize its
last declaration and see to it that the
ranks of white labor maintain an an
broken front in dealing with the labor
er of color, the battle will De more than
half won before the first gun is fired.
AS the matter now stands, the colored
brother is not only with the President,
but is enthusiastically in favor of the
"open shop" 1t has been the closed
shop that has caused all of his misery
and the antagonism of the labor unions
in the southland which has made him q
candidate for the poor-house. If this
body of patriotic mon can enforce thi:
recommendation, brighter day viii
dawn for us and the sun of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor will be in ths
!ascendency in this portion of the south
land.
