less to say that there probably is
no such thing as an absolutely wilt

more, It may be said that there is a

"THE BEAST IN THE NEGRo's
JUNGLE"
BY O. T. Jackson, Boulder, Colorado

ers Of this series Of articles are IA

habits OF the ape, raccoon, monkey,
opossum, wildcat. unbroken mule. the
sacred jackass and other beasts OF
pestilence l will leave 1t to you to
form In your own mind the charac-
tiers of my subjects.
The first subject is THE leading
Negro in Colorado" Who is this
leading negro? Where did he come
from! BY whose authority did he
become the leading Negro" Is he a
business man? Is he a philanthso-
pist? Is he a manufacturer? Is he
a land owner and taxpayer? Does or
has he any influence by actual wortn
to command any recognition amCng
commercial and producing people?
Has he more influence than a Negro
who is leader In production and &C
emulation? YES. Because he is self
styled and appointed LEADING Ne
GRO by Judge Ben Lindsey's BEAST
IN THE JUNGLE" TO lead the Negro
thus far and no farther-to the poles
and vote him as they desire; and 1t is
his duty to discredit every Negro who
is leading by his industry.

churches. and when he wants 10 ped.

years In state and municipal COVE
menis. Yet we cannot point TO one
single thing OF credit that this LEAD
ING NEGRO has accomplished in the
past that is OF any interest to
our present condition politically,
socially or commercially. In fact, oui
conditions have been growing woi
since the advent OF the LEADING
NEGRO. When he is asked why we
are not making better progress. hi

stituency, sacrificing his desire foe q
political position for himself. until mis-
supporters are cared for, ever watch
full for the opportunity of his race.
Such a Negro leader has not yet ap-
peared in Colorado. Such a leader
would be respected by the best class
Of Democrats, Republicans and his
race. because they would have faith
in his sincerity and honesty in his
dealings with party and his race.
Can the Republicans boast Of le-
liable leader among their leading
bunch? Or can the Democrats? Lead

US to adore? Where are all these
LEADING NEGRO Republicans tha;

election times, and then they a:e

the tom-toms by the herders Of Judge
Ben Lindsey's Beast in the Jungle

their masters whip.
After the election it is all of with
the white man. so far as the campaign
was concerned. and the victor and de-
feated get together for the best inter
est of the white people, regardless of
party In power.
With the Negro it is different. II
the Democrats happen TO win, this
leading Negro Republican is out with
his tom-tom and sounds warning
back TO the Jungle that 1t is all Of
Democrats in power-nothing doing.
All Negroes take TO the Jungle and
sleep for two or four years."
II the leading Negro was sincere in
his leading and interest In the masses
they would rally to those Negroes
who were successful and assist them

people, NO MATTER UNDER WHAT

other name looks the same to white

What does attract a white pollti-
clans attention is your race sincerity
of purpose. and II you have any he
will readily detect II, and he will be
with you not only in politics, but In

to make the Negro independent and a

sENArOR.ELECT SHEPPARD.

Sumter county promises to loom up
large in the affairs of the next legisla-
ture. The selection by it of Hon. ]. E.
Sheppard as senator from this district
insures his entry into the race for the
presidency of the next Senate, with
every reason to believe that he will be
successful in this laudable ambition.
While it is true that Mr.. Sheppard's
candidacy for the office of president OF
the Senate is not based upon his sup
port of ex-Goy Hoke Smith, yet the
fact that he has been an avowed aad
consistent, even enthusiastic, support
er of Mr.. Smith in all three of hrs
races, and has been a staunch sup
porter of his views in the last legisla-
ture, will be no element of weakness
in the race that is before him.
Mr.. Sheppard made many friends
while serving in the last House. His
genial manners, his undoubted ability,
Lis clean cut utterances on public
questions. attracted attention to him
as one of the men whom Georgia is
destined to know more of in the future
He drew to himself many friends, and
the assurance of support he has al
ready received give reason to believe
that Southwest Georgia will once
more have the honor of seeing one of
it's favorite sons presiding over the
deliberations of the upper house of tie
General Assembly.
In such position Mr.. Sheppard can
be relied upon to administer the duties
Of the office not only ably but with a
due consideration of the individual
rights Of every member of the Senate
and with an eye single to the best in
erests of tie state. South and South
west Georgia should rally to his sup
port, lay aside partisan factionaI
lines, from which the state has already
suffered too much, and coaIesce is
strength in favor of the candidacy of
man Of high character. of strons
mentality, of keen appreciation of the
responsibilities of tie office he seeks,
and who can be relied upon to reflect
credit upon himself and Georgia if
the gavel of that high office is entrust-
ed to his hands.

The South Atlantic circuit is to be

voters have again demonstrated that
the public can be depended upon to
place men upon the bench of known
character and unquesbioned ability.
In the fact that Walter w. Sheppard,
Esq, carried every county in the cir
cult, against two opponents of no mean
calibre, can be found ample evidence
of the independence of voters when the
judiciary is under consideration The
election of Mr. Sheppard is an ample

Walter w. Sheppard is a Christian
gentleman of whose absolute integrity
there is no doubt. There will be no
more conscientious judge upon the
bench in Georgia than the new incum-
bent in the South Atlantic circuit. His
election is a decided pleasure to his
many friends in other parts of the
state who wish for him a most sue
cessful and long continued tenure of
office in a position he is eminently
qualified to fill.
