Resolved, That this meeting.
composed Of the members Of the
Chamber of Commerce and other
law-abiding citizens, does solemn
ly protest against the spirit OF
lawlessness that has furnished the
fair name of our city and led 10
the commission of crime.
I'VE denouncs the cowardly
and brutal murder of innocent
people and the wounding of 9TH
ers. and we call upon all good men
TO lift up their voices for law and
order, and use their influence 10
check the riOtous spirit that is
abroad in the community.
I'VE deplore the crime of both
races, which has been committed
by their worst elements, and we
solemnly protest that mob rule is
the worst evil that can affiict So
ciety, for IL carries in its train all
the crimes that human beings are
capable of, and If not checked
will lead 70 destruction of govern
ment itself
I'VE call upon the authorities
Of our. city and State 90 crush an
archy with an iron hand. and
spare neither expense nor force TO
DO so

ties spare no EFFORT to put a stop
10 the assaults on our women. II

accordingly. Our womanhood must

at is not right nor just that
the innocent, both white and black
shall be punished for the sins of
the guilty, and the events of the
past few days prove beyond a
doubt that it is the innocent of
both races that are made TO suffer
as The result of the mob 10 avenge
the dastardly outrages that should
be and must be punished by law.
Eve further declare that IL Is
the duty of our city 10 care for
the sick and wounded of both
races and to bury the dead, and
we pledge our willingness TO as
sist the authorities IL needed.
Where government has not
been able to protect life the COM
mon instincts OF humanity demand
that IL at least care for the victims
