Editorial Paragraphs

about ton TO each voter. We hope
we won't get all ours at one time.
Colored people at Atlantic City, IN
the North, mind You, are not allowed
TO bathe in the surf. The trades
unions won't let them work at certain
trades, the hotels won't feed them,
the BARRIERS won't shaye them-all ia
the North.
Let us have n rousing Parker -Wysor
Campaign Club.
"The fragrant summer time" Is de-
parting, leaving only the most pleasant
recollections OF it's brief sojourn with
us.
"Hell has broke loose among the
negroes again." says an exchange.
1t is fearful. Lynchiugs, burnings
and murder are occurring daily all
oyer the country. Who can predict
the end?
Mr. Wysor is camping nightly on
Col. Siemp's trail. and making 1t
warm for the BLACK Eagle
The farmers of the country would
welcome a change OF government if
the change would be for the better,
of course.
Will our Republican friends give
the Democrats credit for the pros
perity and good times in VirginiaP
This state is entirely Democratic.
Or do they claim it a.lP
In Mr.. Roosevelt's opinion there
have been only four Presidents of
this republic who are entitled TO our
yeneration and RESPECT, viz: Washing
ton, Adams, Lincoln and Roosevelt.
Every Republican speaker on court
day made brilliant, ringing" ad-
dress, even Col. Slemp rung the
changes on about two words.
We were wrong in our statement
last week in saying that the colored
band did not play for Mr.. Wysor at
Pocahontas. They did play for Mr..
Wysor, solicited by one or two
private parties who paid them 10 do
SO. We were mIsled by an authority
which we considered Trustworthy.
We ask Bro. Peudleton's pardon,
and also Col. BIowning's pardon for
calling his band the Red Mems Band
The statement that Mr.. Roosevelt
said the farmers were the "hasest sct
IN the land" seems TO he untrue.
True or untrue, this sort of mud
Singing should not be tolerated.
There is enough that can he said
without resorting TO .his kind of
stuff However, this is not much
worse than Rooseeelt's statement
that Jefferson, Madison and other OF
the Republics great men were Gig
norant, incompetent, imbeciles," etc.
We insist that as the South rs en-
tirely Democratic, the party should
have credit for the high price of cot
ton and other farm products, and the
fine seasons, fruit crops, esc. If COY
ernment administration has any
thing TO do with these things, as the
Republicans claim, then. the Demo
Gratis should have credit Roosevelt
would not give the South good times
If he could. Credit the Democrats in
the South.
just rs we expected, the St. Luke's
Herald, negro paper published in
Richmond, is in trouble. We suggest
ed some time ago that il this paper
continued its incendiary policy there
would be trouble, and that the sheet
ought to reform or be suppressed fol
the well being of the negroes in Rich
mond. The paper, in an editorial on
the Georgia burning, advises the ne
groes TO arm themselves and fight tn,
officers who come TO arrest them. etc
The Editor Is woman, and thinks
therefore, she can say what she pleasee
She is getting too large for her clothes
and unless she comes down from he
perch will get herself and her peopl
: into trouble, if she hasn't already don
so. The matter has been taken to tn
courts.
