Beats the Jim Grow.

The Columbia State says a year
ago white man was killed by negro
in Linton, Ind. Since that time no ne
groeS have been allowed in Linton.
On Monday the Wallace circus was
billed in that town and the manage
ment was warned in advance that the
65 negroes connected with the show
should not be brought to Lenton, SO
the negroes were taken TO Il town six
miles south of Linton and left while
the circus went on. \ crowd met the
train and several hundred men in
Spected the outfit to see that there
were no negroes along. Special
coaches were sent for the negroes left
behind and this train was rnn up To
Linton at night when the circus was
ready TO leave and as the train passed
through the town the negroes crouch
ed behind the seats TO avoid danger.

THE NEGRO MUST GO.
That Is the Meaning ofthe Race War
in Indiana.

1t is common error for negroes in
the South to believe that their best
friends are at the North, and that no
matter what they did down this way
to the white people would be endorsed
by the white people of the North.
For the benefit Of this class OF ne
groes we publish the extracts from
Northern papers. In speaking of the
race trouble in Indiana the New York
Herald says:
1T has remained for "A Northern
State To institute a crusade against
the negro race. The sporadic cases
OF pconage brought to light in Ala
oama and which her own citizens,
grand juricS and judges are dcnuunc-
ing and furnishing OF trailing
significance compared with the out
RACES and deliberate crucltieS reported
In our dispatches from Indiana.
DroveS or inoffenSive negroes driven
from their homes i'm Evansville are
making their way to towns i'm the
southern part Of the State, pleading
Tor work and shelter. These desti-
tute and unfortunate refugees are
met outside the towns and villages by
committee" which turn them away
with threats of violence. In plaC es
where laborcrS are urgently needed
and men of any kind with white
skins would be gladly employed, the
pleadingS OF these starving black men
for IA chance TO toll are brutally re-
Jected. 1T is incredible that civilized
communities living under the stripes
should he so inhuman, and we are
forced to the conclusion that the
committees are constituted by the
more Ignorant and turbulent element

which these homeless wanderers are

Assault; on Negro Girl.

At Charleston Dan SumtcrS, negro
criminal, was arrested Tuesday morn
ing OF the charge of rape and commit
ted to jail without bail. The crime
was committed on Victoria Grant, a
16-years-oldSgi girl of his own race.
Another negro, whose name is un-
known, is implicated in the crime.
The girl alleges that Sumter and an
other negro, whose name she does not
know, forced their way into her room
Tuesday morning about 2:1O o'clock
and ravished her, one holding her in
turn while the other committed crimi-
nal assault upon her. She made an out
cry, when Sumter drew knife and
stabbed her in the thigh. Both made
their escape, but Sumter was arrested
by the police several hours afterwards.

were reasons which the governor did
not care to express which made him
stay his hand.

other reason advanced is that she

that these negroes are in the last

which is draining Charleston neck
with the use of convict labor.
Jacob Epps, a negro boy of Will

served all but three months OF four
year sentence for assault with criminal
intent. The reason why he was par
