state. Mr.. O'Connor has been
deputy secretary of state under
Secretary Cowie for the past four
years and by his administration
has put the secretary of state IS Of

partment. Mr.. O'Connor' home
is in Bejnder and as he is in line Of
promotion his election ought to be
overwhelming. He is not new or
untried timber, but in every sens
is fitted to step up higher.
When the Republican conven-

secretary of state there was no dis
appointment to those who knew
this splendid gentleman and the
great office to which he was called
to fill.

liceman and told that niggers could
not leave that way, but must leave
by side door. If intelligent men,
accustomed to self-restraint, were
thus incensed, what would be the
effect on the worthless, reckless
Negroes whom Atlanta had edu-
Gated in the dives and saloons, and
who had been told that their chief
passion was to insult white wo-
men? Then came the reports of
attempted assaults by black fends,
some true, some imaginary, and
the Atlanta News called on the
white men to rise in Ku-Klux

Then came the whirlwind, well

Negroes were arrested on the

escaped; the other, who was GER
tainly innocent, was seized by
mob from the offers and killed.
But that was not enough. The
passion SO carefully melted by VIC
ious journals had hidden them, of
fering a thousand dollars reward.
So they attacked any Negro they
could find, riding in Jim crow
