Not Six Weeks But One.

After preaching the funeral Of Mr.
Isaiah Jackson Sunday morning, A
pril 21st, Rev w. II. Johnson re-
ferred 10 the commendable qualities
OF the deceased in a very beautiful
and sympathetic way.
Among the many things he said
FOR which the deceased was noted
was his loyalty TO his lodge OF Pyth-
ian brethren. Under this head re-
ference was made. according TO in
formation received by the Reverend
that the deceased was entitled TO six
weeks dues. To this statement ex-
ception was taken by officers of the
Lodge, who claimed that the deceased
was only entitled TO one weeks sick
dues.
IL is with a great deal Of pleasure
that the Reverend receives the news
from officers of the Lodge and as an
evidence OF the fact that there were
no sinister motives behind mis- state
ment he made a statement of the in
formation received from the officers
OF the Lodge Sunday night before
his congregation. Let there be no
strife between us for we be brethren.

THE WORK OF THE MOB.

Crime has been committed by Ne
groes, but this mob made no attempt
to find the criminals: it expressed it's
blind, unreasoning, uncontrolled
race hatred by attacking every man,
woman or boy it saw who had a black
face. A lame boot-black, an inof-
fensiye, Industrious Negro boy, at
that moment actually at work shin
ing a mans shoes was dragged out
and cuffed, kicked and beaten TO
death in the street. Another young
Negro was chased and stabbed to
death with jack-knives In the most
unspeakably horrible manner.
The mob entered barber shops
where respectable Negro men were
at work shaving white customers,
pulled them away from their chairs
and killed them. Cars were stopped
and inoffensive Negroes were thrown
through the windows or dragged out
and beaten. They did not stop with
killing and manning: they broke in
to hardware stores and armed them
selves, they demolished not only Ne
gro barber shops and restaurants.
they robbed stores kept by white
men.
