THOSE LETTERS OF INTIMIDATION.

The Leader awaits further rev.
elation concerning the subject
matter of the letters addressed tc
two Brookhaven negroes published
elsewhere in these columns. On
their face. the presumption is thai
spirit of lawIessness, race intoIpr.
ance and injustice to a representa-.
tive of race doing business
among his own people, is crouching
among US. ready to burst forth in
persecution and punishment of its
victims, to the hurt of our commun-
ity and the public good.
The Leader hopes it is not as bad
as it looks and that there is some
explanation that will remove the
imputation of sinister motive and
dark design from. among our citi-
zenship. No Citizens worthy
the name would be guilty of deeds
the letters suggest. and none would
place themselves liable to both the
State and Feieral laws in the send
ing of such communications through
the mails
If there really be such 10 our
midst. they are enemies to our
peace and prosperity and should
take more manly, straightforward
and. lawful way of combating what
they think is a wrong or injustice
to themselves. especially when in
their relation to a weaker and de-
pendent race.

THE INDIRECT CAUSE OF
THE LETTERS.

The Letters state ia substance
that there's going to be some
thing doing" on the order of the
leave-taking of E. N. Bryant, a
negro editor, who was ordered out
of town in May. 1910. unless Good
en- ceases his insurance business.
The natural deduction would be
that the same parties had the letter
writing in hand or other parties
were using the circumstances as a
cloak to make it so appear.
There also seems to be a certain
sinister significance and connec-
tion attached to these letters on
account Of the following facts re-
garding the part played by Bryant.
Bryant's Office was burned the same
night of the day he left town, by
incendiaries. The city council
offered reward of $500 for the
apprehension of the parties who
did it. This reward still stands.
No further molestation of any
kind was made Of his property un-
til after the Lincoln county grand
jury in September had indicted
Bryant for libeliDg G. L. Hutchens.

The BRYANT CASE
LOOMS UP AGAIN
Apparent Reason for Missives IS on
Account Of Negro Soliciting Insurance
Among Ills Own Race.

Judging from all the ear-marks,
9 genuine case of embryo white
eapism or intimidation cropped out
ln Brookhaven Monday. when two
negroes. Memphis Merchant and
Dan Gooden, each received a
threatening letter through the
Brookhaven postoffice.
Merchant is a negro who has
lived in Brookhaven about Is years
and for the past z years has run a
tailor shop. He usually goes WE'LL
dressed and is. as far as The
Leader knows, law abiding. Mer-
chant stated to a reporter when
questioned. that he has never been
arrested for any offense, Also
that no trouble had ever occurred
in bis place of business.
Gooden is a carpenter by trade
and made the statement that he
had never been in trouble but once
and that was several months ago
when he was arrested for acting as
agent IN the unlawful sale of whis-
Ky He paid fine of $25 for the
offepse. Gooden was the last hus-
band of Alice Gage. formerly Alice
Moies, of the well-known and no.
torIous family of Brookhaven
negroes bearing the names of
MoBes.
