The purple and gold OF early
autumn have faded from view
with the passing Of wild indigo

the wooded hills and its rich by

CONTRADICTORY NEGLIGENCE.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
tits a blessed day when the
daily press contains no revolving
accounts of assaults upon women
bv black brutes and the equally
revolving recital of the summary
and cruel vengeance meted out
to the guilty wretches, without
trial by Judge Or jury. Many
good Christian men often form d
part of the mobs wreaking ven
geance and feel no compunc-
tion of conscience in so doing.
Without stopping to discuss
the main question of the justii-
ability of lynch law, which is Of
ten discussed and upon which
even good people are not agreed,
there can be no doubt that IN
many cases of violation of white
females, the white people have
been guilty of what the law de
dominates, in other cases, con-
tributory negligence.
In quite ninety per cent OF the
cases reported it will be noticed
that it took place on lonely
road, a deserted corner of a town
or an isolated country house,
where women have been unpro
tected. Girls and women ride
freely over lonely plantation
roads or long stretches of pub
lie roads which are quite as lone
". They often linger out til
late in the evening before return

Night Riding Condemned And COndOned.

Fiery denunciation of night
riding and equally fiery defense
of the night riders threw the
cotton convention at Memphis
into disorder and nearly termln-
ated the proceedings before the
programme had fairly begun Tor
the last days session.
Walter Clark Of Clarksdale,
Miss, precipitated the trouble
when he wandered from the sub
iect of "Baling and Handling OF
| Cotton" to discuss the night rid
ing situation. He bitterly de
nounced night riding, called the
night riders ours" and men who
shot people in the back.
A G. Roane, q resident OF
north Mississippi, jumped on his
chair and called Mr.. Clark to or
der. He said the night riders
were an oppressed people, fight
inc for what they believed right
working against overwhelming
odds, but always from the bes
motives. His words created :;
} sensation in the convention. Mel
stood on their chairs and tn
} greatest confusion prevailed.
: President Jordan refused t
entertain motion to adjourn sin
