A SATURNAulA OF CRIME.

GOrdOnsville, Va, has recently been
the scene Of novel saturnalia OF
crime, of which the following are some
details 1t now appears that the men,
who are seeking to evade the officers,
perpetrated. many hideous crimes and
terrorized the women il several differ
ent homes. 1t leaked out to-day that
at least two of the young women were
the victims of the assault -
The houses entered were those of
Rev. F. A. Meade, w. A. Blakey, w.
w. Scott, librarian of the Supreme
Court, and Edward Davenport. In the
latter home the two Davenport sisters
were sleeping together. One of them
succumbed to the chloroform, but the
other awakened, and the intruders
made their escape.
1t has been shown that the assassin
alton of President Mckinley was, in
large measure, due to the articles pub
lished in the yellow journals; and it is
probable that the South will find that
many such incidents will occur in her
midst, as the sequelae of the incessant
reports of rapes which have been pub
lished in her newspapers. In the in
stance cited above, there is no doubt
but that the villains were white men
but, if so, no doubt but that their
crime was suggested by the many tales
Of rape published in the newspapers

THE NORMALLY WHITE.

AS everything relating to the color
line has become of most absorbing
interest, it may not be amiss to notice
the point that great many of the
statesmen and others who are cutting
the most fantastic capers in reference
to the matter, are not themselves
really, but only nominally, white folks.
Ihls is especially true of the South, in
which section large proportion of the
homlnally white people have an adj
mixture of Indian blood 1t is a fact
we'll known that the early settlers in
the South, Spanish and French, freely
lntermarried with Indians. The case
CT Rolfe and Pocahontas was a prom
inent, hut by no means the only in
stance of such an intermingling of
blood In Mississippi some of the most
distinguished gabblers about purity Of
blood are descendants of an old part
Indian amalgamationist named LIE
Flore.
Senator Tillman inquiries:
Are we never to have an ending of
war and it's bitterness ?" he exclaimed
Are the people of the South and
North never to understand each other
and recognize the rights of both seq
tiOns?" he asked.
The senator's feelings were riled by
an aliusion to some one as a copper-
mead, When he made this inquiry. THE

APPEAL cam answer the question. It's
answer is that the bitterness will con-
tinue so long as the senator insults
the North by stigmatizipg it's people
as Yankees, so long as the Clansman
is placed upon the stage and SO long
as the southern men give themselves
such ridiculous airs as superior be-
ings In other words when southern
orators and journalists indulge in so
much fool CAB and lying and find that
it pays so well, the bitterness will exist

HAS SOME GOOD TRAITS, Ell?

Pine Bluff, Ark, was recently visited
by great fire which destroyed eight
entire blocks. The citizens at once
adopted measures for the relief of the
victims. The Little Rock Gazette men,
tons the following incident:
"At a meeting Of the committee
chairmen yesterday. President W. N.
Trulock stated that several hundred
dollars had been contributed to the re-
lief fund by @Afro-American residents
Of this city. Every donation from
them was received unsolicited. AS
far as is known not one Afro-American
family lived in the burned district
After all that has been said. the

CAUCASIAN SUPERIORITY.

The Chicago Chronicle says: THAT
such specimens of the Caucasian race

specimens actually under\ Indictment

Zens believe them to be at least moral
iy guilty, should proclaim the inferior

ABut the whole blame cannot be
thrown upon the specimens of the
Caucasian race" 1t is the constant
teaching of all of our great statesmen,
savants and theologians, and the fun
damental proposition of our law max.
ers that a specimen" who has white
skin, is. ipso facto, superior to any in

any reference to the moral or intellect

Curative Value of Light.

The value of light as an agent in
curing diseases is becoming increas-
ingly recognized. The latest develop
ment of the idea is the assertion of a
medical man that the clothes worn by
consumptfves should be of color
which will allow the light to penetrate
to the body. White materials, it is
found, are the best for this purpose,
and consumptives are consequently
advised to clothe themselves in snowy
raiment either Of linen, velvet, cotton
or cloth.

One or two of the Southern govern

One or two of the Southern govern
ors have recommended the passage of
a law, making attempted assault a
capital crime; and, the Illinois legis-
lature has before it bill of the same
tenor. This at least shows that the
Afro-American of the south is not the
only brute, but that white men are as
much addicted to sexual crime as he
is said to be.

the Negro Reform School, which is To-
Gated on Cedar street, is asking the
public for assistance in helping to
maintain the institution and help
clOthe the twenty-eight young boys he
has under his supervision. This work
is purely a charity and consequently
expenses Of carrying it on fall mainly
on the men who have the institution
in charge. Rev. Purdy asks that the
public help him in this worthy cause.
These twenty-eight boys have been OBJ
tanned from Police and Criminal
Courts and efforts are being made to
make good citizens out Of them rather
than hardened criminals. The ex.
pense during the winter months is
very heavy and the management will
greatly appreciate any assistance that
is given.
Next spring the boys will be taken
to the country on a farm where they
will all be able to make their own liv-
ing, This cause has received much
favorable encouragement and many
have lent a helping hand.

afternoon, December 4, Will and Nicely
Hockney attempted to drive some
miners to work against their will.
Reece Johnson, one of the miners re-
ferred to attempted to assert
his rights as a man, w%hereupon the
two white men drew their revolvers
and began pouring into the helpless
man a volIey of lead. They riddled
his body with bullets, and he was
dead before they stopped firing.
The Hockneys went on as if they
had only been shooting at a rabbit.
When they finally met a deputy sher-
if they told him they had killed an i'm
pudent Negro, and he commended
their act.
The Negroes are leaving the mines
in great droyes, not feeling safe to
remain in that vicinity.
The Hockneys bore a bad reputa-
ton, having been into several Difficult.
ties in the last month or so, and they
keep the vicinity in constant fear.
The deputy sheriff was afraid to
make any attempt to arrest them, as
he believed they would shoot him
down as they had the unfortunate
Reece Johnson.

Don't have the blues. 1t is a cinch

that times are hard and will be worse.
There are a whole lot Of people who
seem to have the idea in their minds
that the great American public have
gone dead broke and haven't a Sou
Marquis and they never made a
greater mistake. Just because a few
specializing bankers in Wall street
have played with fire and had their
fingers nipped is no reason why the
whole country has become suddenly
devoid Of any purchasing power you
must remember that cotton, wheat,
grain and lumber will be sold for mil
lions, and while there are few people
who will hesitate in building homes
or buying automobiles. So there will
always be money to buy Xmas pres,
ents and the best present is to get one
dozen of our best photos, something
