We should keep them on the chain

friends beyond Mason and Dixon's
line. Make them go up to their dear

The Horizon Illuminated.
1.-The people of the north are Begin
ming in some measure to understand.
We already know and we must act.
The Atlanta riot has illuminated the
horizon like flash Of lightning on a
dark night, and shown you the hill
sides and the valleys and the darkest
places and you see there nothing but
blood, bloodshed by the whites who
have been made demons by these
crimes against their homes, and blood
shed by the negroes fleeing from
wrath.
1.-The danger is real and imminent.
If, by any reasonable and sane means
we endeavor to meet the situation
and clean out this scum Of hell 1t will
receive the endorsement Of the hosts
of our northern friends who under
stand and who are increasing daily.
I'VE want to be just and humane to
the negroes. Give them life, liberty
and pursuit Of happiness, but don't
give them the ballot. They know
nothing of the ballot and are incapa-

bravest and most sacred manner.
Shall white men be allowed to destroy
what our mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters are 80 bravely defending?
The sin of miscegenation during the
slavery days was great and grievously
have We paid for 1t, but our very civ
ilization hangs in the balance now
and our dependence must be upon the
brave and glorious women Of the
south to protect and save US from ul-
innate nlongrelization. We must act
in such 81 way as to secure the moral
support Of the millions Of men and
women Of the north who are for the
first time beginning to learn the truth.
We mus bulge not one jot OF little
from the position we have always
maintained that the negroes are not
our equals and cannot be permitted to
participate in government without de-
stroying us as a section of the Union.
We mus: be just and humane In our
dealings with them, but we must ever
bear In mind the sacred duty to our
