cannot be definitely said when the
case will be decided, as the Supreme
Court Of the United States is behind
with its work and it may be months
or even several years berore the case
is reached. In the end il the case
should go against the Negro some way
will be found to continue the organiza-
ton under a different name.
Grand Medical Register not Alarmed.
DR.. A. M. Townsend, Grand Medi-
cal Register, says: THE decision as
given was expected Through the dim
vista of the present l see yet a ray
of hope. This ray of hope comes
from the fact that the Georgia case
has been resting so long in the Su-
preme Court. Though it be that these
shocks and reverses have come to us,
somehow, | have faith yet in Pythian-
ism. In the midst of 1t all my heart
rejoices when | see that the face of
/ Pythianlsm is yet to the morning, and
from reports that daily come into this
Office from over the state, it's intrepid
/ legions are still marching 10 the drum
roll, undaunted by the piercing
of bullets or the scorch Of the pow
der from the cannon's mouth ThAn
again, our confidence in our leadership
is such that we rest contented in the
belief that, whatever way our case
may eventually be decided, the stu
ltion will be mastered We are going
to work on therefore, and continue to
d'spell darkness from sad homes, To
provide shelter for the widows, tc
wipe the tears of the fatherless to
check the bleeding of lacerated hearts
to assuage the sufferings of a broth
er, to bury the dead, believing that
all things work together for good OF
them that love the Lord.

both had close call for their lives
Thursday morning, the 9th inst. while
returning from Memphis, Tenn.
where they had been in attendance to
the West Tennessee Conference of the
A. M. r. Church. While going at a
lively clip southbound train smashed
into the northbound train that leaves
Memphis at $40 p. m. The collision
was terrific and it is a wonder that
move lives were not lost The engi-
nelf on the northbound train was
killed and the fireman manned for
life The crew on the southbound
jumped and were unhurt. The catas-
trophe, it is said, was the result of
the engineer of the southbound train
rot obeying orders.
When seen by a GloLe representa-.
tive Mr. Bryant and DR.. Roman both
looked weak and careworn. Mr.. Bry-
ants face was cut in several places
md while he was out of bed it was
evident that the man was suffering in
tense pain. DR.. Roman was getting
about with much difficulty,
when the collision occurred Mr.
Bryant was in the closet. It was
night. The impact knocked him un-
conscious and put out the lights.
when he regained consciousness he
did not have strength to open the
door
DR.. Roman was thrown across the
car and was not able to collect his
wits for long time as to the where
abouts of his companion. Finally he
made it known that man was in the
cioset and the door was opened and
Mr. Bryant was taken out. Very lit.
/ tie attention was given them and for
seven long hours they were there in
agony which was made more terrible
by the darkness. That section of the
country is swampy and sparsely pop
ulated and it was not until the dawn

knowing at the time that the train re-

evidence that they were passen-
gers one of the trainmen scratched

They did not return to Memphis, but
came on home as best they could.
At breakfast time no food was
offered Mr. Bryant and DR.. Roman.
and not until a protest was made
to the conductor did they offer to
give them succor, and then the food
was so long coming other arrange
ments had been made,
Mr. Bryant and DR.. Roman reached
Nashville Friday afternoon, several
hours behind time, and it was not un-
til then did their relatives and friends
know of the horrible tortures they
had been subjected to.

Openly Endorsed
BY SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR,
WHO SAYS HE WOULD HAVE
3 LYNGHED THE NEGRO II THE
MOB FAILED TO DO ITS ISUTY.

Columbia, s. c., November 12.-
Great indignation has been aroused
throughout the State by q speech
which Goveror Cole Blease delivered
at Anderson yesterday, in which he
lauded the mob that recently lynched
a Negro at Honeapath, SEC, for al
leged attack on a white girl. - p :
Governor Blease was addressing a
gathering Of about a thousand farm
ers, and it is said they were shocked
by his open avowaI in sympathy with
the mob The mob was lead by Joshua
ASHLEY, who Is member Of the Legis-
lature. Governor Blease said that the
mob did exactly what he expected,
and If it had not done as it did he
would have been greatly disappointed.
Inc Governor went on to say that
rather than use the power Of his office
IN deterring white men from "punish-
Ing that nigger brute" he would have
resigned the Office and gone to Hone
path and led the mob"
Goveror Blease's open avowal. of
sympathy with lynch law has given
impetus to the movement, already on
foot, to attempt to impeach him. It
has been openly stated that when the
Legislature meets impeachment pro-
ceed1ngs would be begun against the
Governor because Of his alleged co.a-
nection with the "whiskey ring" when
he was State Seator in the dispensary
days
