LEARNING TO READ RAPIDLY

The senator compared the Negro
to the baboon. He called him ''the
missing link and finally declared he
saw serious trouble and bloodshed
ahead in the south as result of the
race question, which, he declared, was
the most important thing confront
ing the American people. AS senator
from South Carolina he declared no
Negro was as good as a white man
in his state and that every white man
in South Carolina believed he was
just as good as any one who walked
in shoe leather
The foregoing is from TIllman's adj
dress to the students of Eastern Shore
College, somewhere in Maryland
But the caterwauling orator destroy
ed his oWn assertion when he declar-
ed that the Americans were
learning to read and write rapidly
and when he, admitted that the whites
Of South Carolina were afraid Of them,

SOUTHERN VERDICT.

When it comes to dealing with the
Atro-American southern journals, al
most without exception are the most
extraordinary and auda-ious lials that
ever existed upon the face Of the
earth, or anywhere else. They actual
ly seem to think that they are doing
GCd and man service Of the most
valuable description when they in
dulge in this pastime But OCCASION
ally, a southern man shows his man
hood and integrity by refusing to so
prostitute himself for political pur-
poses; and THE APPEAL is glad
to mention an instance Of recent oc-
currence in the benighted state OF
Alabama. Everybody knows how
vcciterously southern journals propa-
gate the lie that an Afro American
can get justice in southern court,
we'll knowing that there is not a
semblance of truth in what they say.
white man assassinated an Afro
American in a little old ram-shacT-
ling town in that state called Dothan
The murder was proved beyond doubt
but the scoundrely jury found the
murderer net guilty. Thereupon,
Judge Pearce addressed the jury thus:
"Gentlemen, although your verdict
may not read that way in SO many
words, it really says: We, the jury,
find the defendant not guilty because
he is e white man, and the man he
killed was q Negro There is not a
man on the jury who does not believe
from the evidence adduced that Viii
liam Crockett killed Lum Henderson.
II the dead man had been 3 white
citizen it wouldn't have taken YOU
two hours to have returned a verdict

i-ans from the army of the United
States, Representative Slayden, of
Texas said inter ALA: 1--WE will be
as patient as possible, having faith
that finally the sympathy of the whole
country will be given to that section
which has been so tried in the school
OF disaster, section which stands
lace to face with the perplexities and
dangers of the most diffI2ult question
any people on earth were ever called
Gu to meet and solve. When all the
States comprehend this question
which now they barely apprehend
they will help us of the South to make
it certain that the homes of white
men in white mans country will
be protected by white men only" (Ap-
plause)
Mr.. Slayden forgets that the homes
OF white men during the days when
! the white men aforesaid were trying
their level best to destroy this govern
ment and to build up one whose cor
ner-stone should be slavery, needed
nc protection and the slaves. in not
one single instance. invaded those
homes, but protected and supported
them. His speech is Simply veneered
buncombe and rot-nonsense, sugar
coated with rhetoric.
