THREATS OF \ BLACk-
GUARD.
The Editor ci The Bee is never
4eterred by threats; and especially
,.hen they emanate from a sneak
ng and cowardly demagogue. In
me Editors mail last Saturday,
May II, he received an anonymous
letter enclosing a copy OF the Edi-
tors letter to the Daily Post that
appeared in that influential journal
May 10. Written upon the mar
gin OF the article were these words:
You will follow Republicans or
be distranchised like niggers south
OF NJ. and d. Line. Niger.
Undoubtedly this was written by
some pusliianimous cur that was
too cowardly to sign his name. So
far as the colored voters are con-
cerned they will mot support Mr..
TAFT if he should be nominated,
and neither will be follow again,
blindly, the Republican party if
Mr.. Taft OF any other adminiStra-
ton candidate is nominated. The
condition of the COlOred American
in this country cannot be any worse
should the Democratic party be sue
cesSful in the election Of 1908. Ev-
erything has been done to him that
could be-what more? He is kill
ed, butchered and disfranchised,-
what more? He is not permitted
to ride in a frst-class car going
SOuth,-What more: He IS eStOp-
ped from exercising the rights of
citizenship under the Constitution,
what more? Does the renegade
that sent this anonymous note be
long to the faction of the admins
tration that is opposed to the col
ored Americans? If he does, The.
Bee can readily see which way the
wind is blowing by the straws. Ten
millions of colored Americans will
not be intimidated and forced to-
support any man for President who
is inimical to them.

Camden has made no provisions
to contend against fire in any part
oftown. The subject comes up at
every fire that takes place, good
suggestions are made and then the
matter is allowed to drop until
the next time. And so it goes, and
while it is not necessary here to
describe what a serious fire in the
business part of town would mean
to our citizens, we want to make a
suggestion, which, if adopted, will
afford some protection. Let each
householder and every owner of
business house provide suita-
BILE ladder and place it where it
will be convenient in a time of
emergency. A ladder is not ex-
pensive, and it may be the means
of saving valuable property.
