A MEASURE OF MERIT.
Union City Citizens Should Weigh
Well This Evidence.

Proof of merit lies in the evidence.
Convincing evidence in Union City

Martin Schmidt, blacksmith, of the

Fifth street, says: II was subject to
attacks OF backache for some months,
no doubt caused by my kidneys being
out of order. | was not laid up with
the attacks, but it was sometimes all
| could do to bear the pain and keep
on with my work. AS everyone knows,
shoeing horses and the general work
of a blacksmith is very trying for a
man who suffers with his back and
kidneys. | saw DOan's Kidney Pills
advertised in our local papers and
thinking they might help me got a
box at the drug store. After taking
anly few days the pain and lameness
disappeared and up to date there has
been no recurrence of the old COM

and unless there be uncommon rea
sons for declining the face to face
meeting of the candidates, he who
shrinks it is looked upon as fearing

OF late, however, candidates have
shown disposition to play a lone
hand in campaigning. and it may
be that neither party will extend
an invitation for the joint debate;
but we think the Democratic COM

STATEHOOD QUESTION.
Advises Citizens of Arizona That
This May Be Last Opportunity.


This May Be Last Opportunity.
Chicago, July A dispatch to
the Tribune from Tucson, Ariz.,
says: President Roosevelt is SO
anxious for Arizona to become a
State that he has written a per-
sonal letter to his old friend, Mark
A. Rogers, urging the people to
vote to be admitted with New
Mexico. The President says that
be believes if the present oppor
tunity is not seized it may be many
years before the opportunity may
be had again. President Roose-
velt's letter, which was received
yesterday, reads:
"The White House, Washing
ton, June 27.-Dear Mark A. Rog.
ers, Secretary Arizona Statehood
Association, Tucson, Ariz.: My
earnest hope is that the people of
the Territory Of Arizona in their
wisdom will decide to enter the
Union as part of the great State
of Arizona. No man can foretell
what will happen in the future.
LAST CHANCE.
"But it is my true belief that if
the people Of Arizona let this
chance 60 by, they will have to
wait many years before the chance
again offers itself, and even then
it probably will be only on the
present terms-that is, on the con-
dition of being joined with New
Mexico.
IF the people of Arizona come
in now they will achieve what
every self.respecting A m e r lean
ought to wish to achieve-that is,
the right of self government. If
they refuse what is proffered them
and what, in my opinion, is prof
fered on the only proper and per-
misslble term they condemn
themselves to an indefinite contin
nance of condition of tutelage.
Il have peculiar affection for
the people of the four territories,
which under the act of Congress |
nave just signed, now have the OPP
to enter as two States
nto our Federal Union. These i
territories are filed with men and
women of the stamp for which

the cumulative provocation of a
series of assaults by negroes up.
on white women, which in mum b.
er, in atrocity and in unspeakable
audacity, are without a parallel
in the history of crime among
Southern negroes.
There have been II assaults or
attempted assaults within the
past seven weeks. Of these
fiends only four have been appre-
hended and seven have escaped
scot free, and are now at large in
the community.
Eight of these assaults have
been in broad daylight, and in
most instances in the open air
within stones throw of other
residences. One assault was at
tempted at 9 o'clock in the even
ing in the brilliantly lighted par
lors of a city residence. Two
have been attempted almost with
in twenty feet of the man of the
house, the criminals escaping be-
fore the men could reach them.
In almost every case the woman
victim has been brutal1y mutilat-
ed and disfigured.
And the entire eleven mons
trous efforts, five successful and
six unsuccessful, have been made
right in the city and surburbs of
Atlanta, the capital of the New

their choice. The whole section
has been growing more and more
into1erab1e.
Every thoughtful citizen has
realized that Atlanta has been

Under these conditions Satur.
day afternoon was drawing to a
close. There had been an at.
tempt at rape for each of the
the preceding days right in the
heart of the city. The regular
afternoon editions of the city
papers came out on time without
an addition to the grewsome
record, and people breathed
easier.
Half an hour later an afternoon
extra appeared announcing that
there had been four rapes at
tempted in swift succession
within the hour, two of which
had been successful. Another
paper issued an extra, and ir
one short hour the popu1ace of
Atlanta was in frenzy of excite
ment. By seven o'clock the first
crude and impromptu organiza-
ton was formed. And from
seven O'Clock until an hour after
midnight Atlanta passed thro
the throes of a riot which has
had no approximation in South
ern history.

And to these inquiries from
three of the greatest newspapers
in the country, the editor, under
pressure of time, returned to
each of these papers the append
ed reply, which read on Monday
by rearly 100000 readers,
serves at least to enable our
friends in the East aud the West
to realize the provocation under
which this people acted, and to
understand our Southern situa-
tion as they evidently have never
seemed to understand it. 1t is
just as well to give the same ans
wer to the readers of the Georg-
ian from the editorial page of
the paper:

to compel the negro editors,
preachers and teachers under
threat Of a practical boycott, to
cease spending all their breath
and energies in the denunciation
of lynch law and to preach with
all their ransomed powers hell
and damnation to rapists. They
responded loyalty, and for the
first time since we have had a
race problem the white man as
had the full and hearty co.opera-
ton of the respectable negroes in
the suppression of the rapist.
And yet in spite of this extra
ordinary improvement in condi-
tions, the rape of white women
has multiplied in appalling fash
ion.
1t mas oeen a reign OF terror
for Georgia women.
There is not white woman in
the region of Atlanta who has
had a tranq uil day or night with
in this period. The white wo-
men have been trem bling priso-
oners in their homes, and their
husbands, sons and brothers
have been held in the necessity of
guarding them INCREASINGLY.

dition aud politics, the heart of
our civilization, with a white
population nearly twice as large
as that of the negro.
1t is utterly impossible to
reach an explanation of this tidal
wave of crime. Whether it be
due to the lust begotten by the
remarkable increase of the CO.
caine habit among the negroes,
whether it has been stirred by
the revolutionary harangues of a
local newspaper, whether it has
come from the frequenting of
low liquor dives on Decatur
street in which are exposed the
pictures of nude white women,
or as is more likely, from all
these causes combined, it is GER
tain that Atlanta nor any other
Southern city has ever passed
thro such a horrid carnival of the
unspeakable crime as during the
closing weeks of the present
summer.
The city has been at high ten
sion for six week of past. Pub
lie meetings have been address
ed by the most conservative citi-
zens. Our county police system
has been quadrupled, $50 deputy
sheriffs have been put on duty
