AN INSTRUMENT OF DEATH
Was This Banjo Which May BE Heard
in AN Atlanta Church.

i'm an Atlanta Church.
The banjo which A. L. Frierson
used with such charming effect in
getting his pardon and which DR..
Lee of Atlanta says that he wants
him to play before the congregation
of his church-Trinity-i probably
the same instrument that caused him
to get in trouble.
FriersOn and Flood, the man Frier-
son is said to have killed, were on
the streets of Valdosta together,
FriersOn playing the banjo and Flood
taking up collections. They went to
Floods house, where they continued
to play and sing, Flood being I'M
der the influence of liquor. Later
in the night they got to quarreling
and Flood got out his razor, where
upon Frierson struck him on the
head, Flood dying from the wound.
Frierson is a natural-bOrn banjo
player, and DR.. Lee heard him at
the West-Holmes & Coffee camps
while he was visiting DR.. Holmes.
After hearing him play My Mother
Grave" the doctor took off his coat,
so to speak, and began working for
his pardon.

LIKED TO LOCKED HIM UP.
Cuthbert Young Man Got a Rude
Shock While Returning From a
Visit to His DuIcina.

The Leader says one of Cuthbert' s
young men, well known in social cir
cles, Mr.. Samuel Sawyer, found him
self in rather an embarrassing stu
ton in Arlington the other night.
He had been out calling, and the
seductive charms of feminine society
had held him captive until a late
hour. AS he was vending his way
hotel-ward, indulging in pleasing
recollections Of his visit, his reverie
was rudely disturbed by a minion of
the law, who placed him under ar
rest. The officer actually suspected
the genial, stylishly clad and debo-
nair young Cuthbert citizen of being
safe robber
With all of his persuasive powers
it took Sam some time to convince
the officer that a grievous mistake
had been made. And now because
of the humiliation and mental an
guish he suffered through being ar
rested as a safe robber Mr.. Sawyer,

GOLFERS WEEKLY ISLANDERS SOUTHERN WOMEN
And the Northern Magazine Is Ripped Up the Back by
The Rip-Saw for It's Vile and Dirty Insnuatlons

,and identffications are founded on
something worse than hysterlcaI IN
vention; they are the easiest escape
from scandal. Now these are not
the things to say, no doubt. They
altogether like chivalry and the aris-
tOcratic virtues, but perhaps II is
time to put justice and truth ABOVE
honor, whatever that may be.
The above clipping from Collier, S
Weekly which goes into thousands
Of southern homes each week, is a
part of an editorial in that journal
relative to the deeds of the black
rape fiends Of the south, and this
dastardly vOmit from the NAV OF
Golfers Weekly is enough to cause
every decent man and woman in the
south, which it so viIlainously, want
only and ignorantly bellies, to rise up
as one man, and compel Collier S
Weekly to apologize for its black and
nasty insinuatiOn, or else debar that
journal from the portals of their
homes. Listen. Golfers Weekly
says:
ct is well known that many
identiications are sheer hysteria,
often for crimes that were never
and many other charges
and identifcations are founded on
worse than historical in
Eention; they are the easiest escape
rom scandal.
by this statement does Golfers
Weekly propose to brand southern
as cohabiting with black
)rutes, and for fear of being betrayed

by the brute will then raise the cry
Of 'rape?' You say, Mr.. Golfers
Weekly, that your malicious state
ments are well known The Rip
Saw says it's a lie as black as hell,
and you can't prove your statement
to be true.
"Mr. Golfers Weekly, if you, at
no distant day, find your 'Adollar-
d-a-dollar-a-month business
referring out, in that section which
YOU so maliciously brand with such
a dastardly charge, you need not be
surprised unless we have judged
wrongly the fathers, the husbands
and the brothers of the southland.
Just such as you, Mr. Golfers
Weekly, is what whets tne appetite
of the british coon and makes him
commit his fendsh crimes upon the
mothers, wives and daughters of the
south
Listen how the above quotation
from Golfers Weekly sneeringly
winds up: Perhaps it is time to put
justice and truth above honor, what
ever that may be- No wonder that
journal which inquiries what hon
or means dared to publish such a
dastardly article; as from the query
in regard to what honor means,
which that sheet seems not to know,
perhaps it is, in a way, pardonable
for publishing this dishonorable
TRADE against Southern Woman
hood
I'VE have known for many years
that the Roman Catholic church was
reaching out for the negro, in order
to make him part of their super
stitious institution, and thereby con-
troll both his pocketbook and his
vote; but we did not, nor do not yet,
know just what machinery it is using
to bring this about. But we are now
constrained to ask if it is possible
that your Uncle Peter Fenlin Col
lier, whose name Golfers Weekly
bears, and who sits away up under
the caves of the Vatican, has been
delegated to WOO the coon into it's
fold by vilifying Southern Woman
hood, in order to gain the confidence
Of the blacks of the south? VIII

Golfers Weekly, northern mag
azine which has a wide circulation
throughout the south, has a bilious
liver gangreened with hatred for this
section.
1t recently printed an editorial
on the southern negro rape prob
lem which has aroused southern in
dignation, and an appeal is being
made by southern papers TO have
southern people cut out Golfers
from the southern home.
The offensive part of the Collier
editorial is the insinuation that
southern women who are brutally as
saulted by black fiends cry out rape
to save themselves from a scandal
that they are willfully guilty Of.
The most virile denunciation we
have seen of this vile charge of Col
Iier's Weekly is an editorial from
the National Rip-SaW, a socialist
paper that is true to its name the
said editorial being copied by Wat
sons JeffeTsonian of a recent date.
