THOMAS DIXON SOUNDS
ALARM.
Marriage. Of Whites and Negroes in
the North.

Thomas Dixon, DR., author OF zine
Ctansman." sends to the Columbia
Record some clippings from New
York papers giving various details Of
the spriggs case and that of Mrs.
Oliver in New York. The first is a
negro who was recently convicted OF
holding white women in slavery for
immoral purposes. The second case
was that of white woman who was
slapped in the face on street car
by negro. Since ethat time, as
Record press dispatches have shown,
Mrs. Oliver has been subjected to all
sorts of insulting and threatening
letters written by negro men and
women.
Mr.. Dixon's letter follows:
Editor The Record: Permit me to
call your attention to the enclosed
clippings from this weeks New York
papers.
The time has come for the South
to boldly demand the repeal of all
laws permitting the marriage of
negroes to whites. Maine and Ne
braska have placed themselves in
line with Southern sentiment on this
issue.
The increasing corruption of our
race in the North by the physical
contact of more than a million me-
groes, is something appalling.
The revelation of the Spriggs case
is the foulest blot on the civilization
of the century. The real details of
this trial were never printed. The
half-whispered testimony of those
trembling, broken girls caused the
Judge and jury again and again to
burst into tears. This negro was the
keeper of four prison houses into
which young white girls were kid
mapped and held for years in slavery
for black beasts to violate. he will
serve but eleven years for these hide
Gus crimes and will then return to
his white wife and his old life.
Beyond a doubt this system of
secret white slavery to negro bestiali-
ty is universal in the great Northern
cities.
The increasing pollution Of our
racial life is easily fixed where it be-
longs. The open and shameless prac-
tice of social equality with negroes
by some of our great educational
leaders, the pandering to negro votes,
and the disgusting propaganda of
shallow theorists are producing these
fcuits.
A big buck negro is collector of in
ternal revenue in New York. His i'm.
ployment of a white girl stenogra-
pher is daily object lessons to his
race.
In Chicago, recently, public re-
ception was held for negroes only
who had married white women.
Seventy-five of these mongrel families
were present.
The reflect action of negro inso.
lence and crime in the North is quick.
ly felt in the South. Letters tell the
story and infame the minds of South
ern black men.
Will you not use your power in
moulding the opinion of the nation in
this vital issue?
Lest you may think, as has been
foolishly said by my enemies, that
my work is only for personal gain,
allow me to say that every dollar
earned by the Southern Amusement
company in presenting ''The Clans.

As Southern writer and dramatist
I have given and am giving the best
energies of my life to preserve the
purity Of our race and avoid slowly
approaching but inevitable conflict.
And I hope to have the continued
support of my people South of the
