These people deprecate thu lynch!ns OF

notably in Georgia. an organized effort
has been set on foot to put n stop to lynch

b- the most absolute social separation
between the two races. All Southern
whites are strongly opposed TO inter

has only an eighth or one-sixtsenth OF
negro blood in his veins. In Latin

Mr. Bryce answers the Sout hern. pe-si-

the negro is not a political danger. In
