MOST ATROClOUS CRIME.
Death Cries Of Murdered Minister
Heard From Fiery Prison.

No atrocity in modern times, says
the Richmond tNa.I Planet. has ex.
ceeded the brutal fendishness attend.
Ing the lynching of Rev. John Har-
ward. near Cochran. Ga, in December.
To a person versed in the law. trained
in the church and permeated by the
ciyilizing Influences now In evidence in
the leading communities Of the world
ii seems inconcelvable that people of
this country could be found who would
perpetrate such an outrage.
Rev. John Harvard had committed
no crime. II the telegraphic reports are
TO be believed. He was dangerously
wounded by VIII ID. Booth, white,
injured He had done nothing further
than to defend himself, and yet he was
caught and burned at stake, his
death cries being stilled by the heat
and smoke Of his fiery prison. This
brings to mind our oft expressed
warning Colored men who wound
or injure white men In this section
OF the country should defend them
selves 10 the death and then save the
last bullet for themselves and take
their chances Of going shouting home
TO glory"
II is far better to die like hero
than TO be assassnated and burned
Ike n felon. We will not comment
further upon this outrage. 1t IS too
horrible. Hundreds OF white men are
condemning the murderers. but there
IS not one who has announced his
ability 10 bring 10 dire punishment the
lcndS who are guilty Of this latest
rbullitiou of race prejudice, The south
as q whole will be sufferer and we
shall have for years TO come bitter
memories OF this most diabollcal crime
ever perprtratcd IN the southland

EIGHTEEN YEARS FOR
CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
Wkite Man Who Made Brutal Attack
on Little Colored Girl Given
Compromise Verdict.

white man committed a criminal
Hampton, Va, says the Norfolk Val
Journal and Guide The child died,
presumably from the shock, and the
Jury which tried the man. or. rather,
brute, returned verdict of eighteen
years in the penitentiary. OF the in
adequacy of the punishment the New
port News Times erald. one of the
most influential white dailies Of Vir-
ginia, says:
I'VE are always slow 10 criticise the
verdict Of jury. The men who hear
the evidence and the argument and
who are sworn to render true and
just verdict are the men upon whom
the responsibility rests. and they are
in better position than those who
Judge from afar to decide the case.
But Ike most compromise ver-
diets the verdict in the yandyke as
sault case in the circuit court of Eliza
beth City is absurd on its face. Van
dyke was either guilty or not guilty
Of brutal criminal assault upon child
under the age limit as fixed by law. II
not guilty lie should have been ac-
quilted. but II guilty, as the jury de-
clared. he should have been sentenced
to the electric chair"
The above view Of the Times Herald
IS sufficient evidence te show that
there is still in the southern states a
class Of white men who believe In jus
tice and fair play-men who are not
afraid TO speak their mind and give
the weight OF their Influence on the
side Of right. men who will condemn
crime. whether found under black

Davis appointed c. l.. Wilson to sue

This. they claim. is discrimination
against the volunteers. owing 10 the
fact that when C. NJ. Henkel was chief
he made several appointments OF a
like nature. which were not passed
upon by he council.
The question they asked was
Where are the volunteers at. and
how far does the authority OF its Off

HAS the fire chief less authority than
he had before?r
The ccncensus of opinion at the
meeting was to wait upon the council

There may be some excuse for the

ISOLATION in the South where the line
between the races is distinctly drawn,
but in the North there is no justifica-
ton for their existence.
The Afro-Americans who are urging
the establishment of separate Y. M.

They should consider the question
from every angle before using their
influence in favor of movement
which will be reaching in it's eff

draWal of all civil and political rights

There are in the United States a
few individuals who have proved
themselves to be true Christians. but
the alleged Caucasian Christian
Church IA this country justified slav-
cry and has never taken a decided
stand for the rights of men.
The Y. NJ. G. A. people in many
Northern communities are endeavor-
ing to seggregate the Afro-American,
thus proving that in one respect the
Association is not a Christian organ
ization.
If Afro-Americans think that an or
ganization similar to the Y NJ. C. A.
is needed in any particular commu-
nifty, they should form one and call it
by some other name. Under no cir
cumstances should they have any con-

RIGHT TO DEFEND HIS HOME,

We welcome with pleasure every
indication of disposition On the
part Of the Southern brother to treat
the Atro-Amer:can with fairness and
justice and such an instance recently
occurred in the state of Arkansas \
difficulty took place between a white
man and and an ro-American. La
ter the white man went to the Afro
Americans house and shot at him.
The Afro-American returned the fire
and wounded the white man. The
jury awarded the Afro-Anlerican two
years in the Dcnitea tiary. Judge A.
3. Grace set aside the verdict and
ruled that the Afro American had the
same right to defend his home as the
white man had; SO he DISCHARGED the
prisoner. At first glance the forego-
ing may seem rather unimrortant
matter, but we pronounce it che of
supreme Importance and know that it
required 40 little courage upon the
part Of the judge to take such action.

THE HNSON-JEFFRlEs FIGHT.
The Johnscn-Jeffries prize fight on
last Monday is now matter of his
tory. While We are in nowise undulv
elated, we are satisfied with the re-
suit, because it, doubtless, was on the
square. We would have been salts
fed had the outcome been otherwise,
could we have believed that the fight
was STRICTLY ON THE SQUARE.
We are absolutely and unqualitiedly
opposed to the brutal, demoralizing
game OF prize fighting or pugilism
generally. and we will hail with Joy
the day of it's demise.
The best thing, to our mind. That
mas come out of the fight is the sud
den awakening of the public to the
demorahzing effects of the numerous
moving picture shows that infest the
country and it may bring them under
more strict censorship, to which we
say amen! The Lord works in mys-
