That was the decoration of pins, lock.

styles. Many Of them were extremely
beautiful and artistic, but they would
rot sell. Women would not buy them

that the negro children go to school in

that the negro women, like white wom-

tected This statement has probability
In its favor, and for various reasons
sounds true 1t was worth making J;
the more so that we do not remember
to have seen it in print before. We
have all along known and deplored the
peril to the white women and chill
dren, but no one before this has thought
it worth while to mention that the
negro women and girls were In any
danger, The reason why this ought to
be known Is that common danger is
strong tie, and the blacks and whites
in the South are developing antag-
onisms so fast that no tie that remains
ought to be ignored. After the Atlanta
riot decent people. white and black, got
