barisma within the south. He said the

| to work for an honest living as had
been done in the northern states. I'VE
sometimes kill them for outrages," he
said "but never because they want to
work.

passions of the negro and give him
perverted idea of his Importance and
his near approach to social equality

are put on a social equality he vigor-
ously asserted, "the more dangerous
becomes their position and the surer
death by violence will overtake them
sooner or later"
