A MINISTER THE VICTIM.

No atrocity in modern times has
exceeded the brutal fiendishness at
tending the lynching of Rev. John
Harvard. near Cochran. Georgia,
Wednesday, December 1. 1909. To
person versed in the law, trained
in the Church and permested by the
civilizing Influences now in evidence
in the leading communities OF the
world. It seems inconceivable that
people of this country coui5 'be
found who would perpetraee such
an outrage.
Rev John Harvard had committed
no crime. n the telegraphic reports
are TO be believed He was dan
gerously wounded by VIII D. Booth,
white. who was in turn said 20 be
fatally injured. He had done moth
ing further than TO defend himself
and yet he was caught and burned
.at a stake, his death cries being
stined by the heat and smoke of
his fiery prison. This brings to nina
our oft expressed warning. COlored
men. who wound or injure white
men in this section Of the country
should defend themselves to the
death and then save the last bullet
for themselves and take their
chances Of going shouting home to
glory"
u is far better TO die like a hero
than 20 be assassinated and burned
like a felon. We viii not comment
further upon this outrage. Il IS too
horrible Hundreds of white men
are condemning the murderers. but
there is not one who has announced
his ability to bring 10 dire punish
ment the fends. who are guilty of
this lates ebulItion OF race preju-
dice. The South as whole will
be a sufferer and we shall have for
years 90 come bitter memories OF
this most diabolical crime ever per-
petrated in the Southland.

There are some recommendations

THE STORY OF THE NEGRO.

We have received Volumes I and

DR.. Booker T. Washington. This
work is one Of the most valuable ad-
diions as yet made 90 the Iitera-
ture of the country so far as Il re-
lates TO the colored people OF this
country. 1t is a diplomatic plea In
behalf of the Negroes of the United
States and at the same time Il pays
homage to the better class OF South
eners whose friendliness towards
us constitutes a bright page in the
SOuth's history.
We hope that the people OF the
world will read the production OF
this truly remarkable colored au-
thor. II will certainly give a clear
er insight into existing conditions in
this portion OF tie Masters vine
yard. While there are often causes
for radical disagreement with DR..
Washington. still when his efforts
are regarded as a whole, 1t must
be admitted that he is patriotic and
we believe is actuated by the best
OF motives. This is what has caused
us to be careful in our criticism Of
his acts in many instances, ever
when we agree with the structures
OF his critics.
