Augusta, Ga, Oct. S.--Spealting tC
1000 people tonight at The Augusta
Lyceum on the race problem. United
States Senator Tillman Of South
Carolina, declared that the south is
on the verge Of great race war.
Tillman said in part.
u am not an alarmist | have
studied conditions in the south for
forty years, having an experience ex
tending back from old plantation days
before the war through recOnstruc-
lion down to the present time, | have
been an active participant in three
race riots
There are some people who say
I that a race problem settled itself. but
| make the prediction thar in less
than ten years, | fear less than five,
! there will be an immense number of
/ bloody race riots in the North and
South, beside which the A anta riot
will pale into insignficance.
| White Men United
u lay down the following PROPOSE
| ton which cannot be disputed
First. white men of the south are
united and determined as never BE-
fore to maintain white supremacy.
politically and socially, in every part
Of he Southern states.
Second, negroes were never more
intent on contesting in every way
that they dare this position of whites.
Republican national government aid
ing and abeting this idea.
Third, Race hatred in every form
is growing in intensity with both
races.
Fourth. Lynching for criminal at
tack will continue as long as crime is
committed. Escape of guilty inhames
whites. preciptates riots and causes
innocent negroes to suffer.
Fifth Amalgamation is the hope |
ana ultimate purpose of the negroes (
White men are rendering them great |
aid in this by intimacy with negro |
women. The line must be drawn as |
sternly between white men and negro I
women as between black men and |
white women
How to Prevent Attacks.
Sixth. The burning issue is how TO
prevent and not avenge criminal at.
tack. and lynching has failed. The
superior race should iprotect many
millions of innocent negroes froni
false teachers and bad leaders, who
are rapidly driving whites to despera- !
ion that means race war that can
lnly result in the destruction of the
weaker race"
