THE MAN FRoM BUFFALO
Says Nashville and the South Need
Men with Backbone to Supply the
Shoestrings They Now Have.

AS a result of a news item appearing
in the Nashville Globe of a few issues
ago, n of the close observers of the
conditions in the South, and especial
ly the news columns of two of Nash
ville's leading papers, makes some
comment upon the attitude of the Ne
gro towards protecting the innocent
children and our women. The let
ter was received by a member of the
Globe force, being addressed to Mr..
Henry A. Boyd, and comes from the
pen of a very energetic %Buffalonian in
the person of Mr.. G. A. Dickson, who
has identified himself with some of
Nashville's business enterprises, yet
he has never visited the South, but is
very much impressed with some of the
movements begun down here and in
some of the men who have visited his
section of the country. In the letter,
which was written during the month
of October, Mr.. Dickson deplores the
seeming weakness on the part of the
Negro men of the South in upholding
law and order.
Mr.. Dickerson said in part, "In the
Globe, the article about the white rape
fiend, makes my blood boil. | under
stand there are about $4,000 Negroes
in Nashville and not one has the cour-
age or manhood to resent the rape.
By the article it appears the fend is
known and is still at liberty. What
manner of man is the child's father
that he does not have the white man
arrested?" He continues at length
in this way, but makes one mistakes
in the number of Negroes dwelling in
Greater Nashville by about 10000,

 George A. spiers. of 1o2 North De- catur Street, the Montgomerian who was assaulted on the afternoon of June 1s by an unknown negro assafi- ant. and who received bruises from the encounter which compelled treatment at St. Margaret's Hospital, came from under the care of the physicians at that institution few days ago and is now almost recovered from the effects of his injuries.
 Mr. spiers is anxious for the public to know the truth concerning the at- tack. He said yesterday that his as- sailant was a negro weighing about 1B5 pounds, who gave as his name Charles Johnson, and his native city Troy.
 T had gone out to the cemetsry." Mir. Spiers said yesterday, to attend to a little work which I had contracted for, and when I got there saw this ne- gro who was willing to be employed by me for the afternoon. It was just before dinner time. and told the ne- gro that I would give him his dinner free. After had secured my dinner I came back to where the negro was, paid for his meal and started off to was untrue, for had not taken a drink in several months."
 Mir. spiers says that after they had been at work short time the negro knocked him senseless by blow de- lievered on the head. and which caused his treatment at the hospital. He thinks that the negro attacked him for the purpose of getting the money which he had in bis possession, which was found missing when he recovered con- sciousness. The opinion of MT. spiers. furthermore. is that the negro used brass knucks
 The police department has been ap- prised of what information Mir. Spiers could give, and is at work on catching the negro.

 The ship is in fair condition and a few thousand dollars would place her in q seaworthy condition, but the own CT decided that to do so would entail not only an outlay of money. but to place her in the trade would entail d risk which he did not care to take and at the present high prices of cop per. steel and other metal he has de- sidad to burn the ship and thus pro- cure the metal without much trouble.
 The vessel has been lowed across the pay and within few days will be saturated and fired. She has been z,laced In shallow water. and as she 3ightens from being burned will be 4owned higher up on the beach. Anoth- CT vessel to be burned for a similar purpose is the Norwegian bark Camp
