on the block on which IL is proposed
10 erect the bank. argued against al

We have been besieged with in

episode In which the press dispatch

escape with his daughter, from

OF his daughter. which were threat
ened by mob violence. The reports
differed materially. so much so that
a far conclusion was hard 10 be
reached by any one who was dis
posed 20 be just in expressions.
Personal interviews with the Bish-
op himself failed 20 make the mat
Ter perfectly clear. One can infer
from what the Bishop said that
something similar 20 that reported
4 the dispatches did occur, but
Judging from the words used in his
apology TO the people of Greenville
his remarks were wrongly interpret
"a and that the attack was really
groundless. In consideration 81 this
explanation, IL now seems that the
matter has been amicably settled be-
tween Bishop hampton and the white
people of Greenville, Miss.
Many unpleasant articles have
been published by both white and
colored writers concerning this case
and of such nature as will not do
any good on either side. There are
people. both white and black, who
are on the alert for something to
turn up from which TO stir race pre-
1udlce. This class of people is dan
serous and bear watching. Sucb
advice 1c hoe

pers. Is too heinous for the eyes OF
civilized people 10 behold. Such
people are breeders OF anarchy and
feeders 10 anarchists. They are no.
friends to Christianity, nor to that
God who gives them being.
II row develops that the Green
vile Bishop hampton trouble was
Wholly the result O. misunderstood
ing msgnified. Some OF our ex- /
changes have charged Bishop Lamp
ION with prevarication in his inter
view. AT first glance 1t does appea-
as II his statements we're contra
dictory. His conversation with Rev
stephenson Archer in Greenville
shows that he, Bishop Lamptop
knew about the unpleasant feelings
existing before leaving home. but IL
does not show that Bishop Lamp-
ton had any knowledge Of the iudig-
nation meeting held nor the result !
thereof, and when the press dis
patches were published the reported /
conditions were so different from
what the Bishop understood that 4
ne had nothing TO say but that he
knew nothing about the formation
OF mob TO do him violence. and
other things published which took
place after he left.
Taking all things into considera-i
ton, Bishop hampton has done the
right thing in his explanation ana
apology. And the white people OF
Greenville have done the right thing
IN accepting the same.
