of spats) to knock their fellows
whether they are in the pulpit,
schools, doctors, lawyers, or den
fists, etc, it's all the same. They
start their hammers, not in the
anvil chorus style, but in a man
ner beftting their small souls.
This class will extend the hand OF
fellowship with a Judas grin on
their Uriah Heap mugs, and then
commence to knock some preacher,
teacher. lawyer or doctor, with the
admonition not to tell who furn-
ished the information. These vi
pers can stand any amount of adu-
lation, and if by chance their
names should appear in print, out
side of the police court tran
script, they swell out like a puffer
pigeon, and load the mails with
marked copies for innocents
abroad to swallow. But, let some
fair and honest criticism of their
doings get an airing, the knockers
soon become squealers, and forget
their record as knockers, and give,
like a stuck pig, a squeal Their
virtuous Indignation carries them
sometimes, to the point of consult
ing some sundown attorney with a
view of procuring, through legal
methods, some soothing syrup for
their lacerated feelings in the
shape of ducats. Their memory
is so short that they fail to recall
certain shady transactions, political
and otherwise, in which they fig
ured as DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. HYDE,
and which would be powerful
copy for the printer, and startling
information for the reader. The
Knockers, as such, are self-impor-
tant, but most always an accident,
and are like Jim Jefries-can't
come back-hence, when confront
ed with an inside view of self be-
come Squealers and endeavOr to
extract sympathy from those whose
good character and reputation they
have jeopardized by the insidious
remarks emanating from their
smooth and oily tongues. The.
Editor of The Bee is the cham
pion of free speech, and is bitter
foe to Stilletto arguments; his
motto is a fair field and no favor.
When, by accident or misinforma-
ton. The Bee should do injustice
to the humblest citizen, the editor
is man enough to make the amends
honorable and not seek to hide be-
hind his editorial privilege If
calling attention to wrong-doings
as he sees them, Offends the
Knockers to the extent that they
become SquealerS, he would advise
all such to mend their ways and
repent of their weaknesses and
become truthful persons. By so
doing they may be regenerated and
become good and useful citizens.

JUSTICE A RARA AVIS.

The decision in the assault case
OF DR.. Washington, in which his
white assailant was dismissed
without fine or punishment, is but
one more proof of the almost utter
futility of a Negro getting JUS
tice in the criminal courts when a
white man figures in the case
against him. Ulrich, the assail-
ant, charged that DR.. Washington
had inSulted his wife. Proof was
in evidence that he testified falsely
when he stated that the woman was
his wife, for she was a Mrs. Al
varez, with whom he was living in
adultery. Mrs. Alvarez, who first
testified she was the wife of Ulrich
proved by her own admission that
she was not his wife. Yet when
the case came to final trial the tes-
timOny of these two white persons
whose own testimony had estab-
hshed the inCreditability of their
case was accepted as against the
testimony of a Negro whose entire
life had been above reproach, and
whose entire life has been one Of
unselfsh devotion to his own peo-
pie and of kindness to the whites.
But when the Coatesville and Okla
hOma brutal and known lvnchers,
and lynchers of Negroes in every
part of the country are discharged
without fine or punishment, what
more could we have expected? !?
What other decision could we ex-
pect in a case where a Negroes
word is pitted against a white
mans words?
This case does not concern DR..
Washington alone. It concerns the
whole race. It concerns every
Negro, whether he agrees or differs
with the TuSkegean industrial
education propaganda, for it is a
matter of Negroes securing justice
in the courts. 1t has been an estab-
lished rule in the courts, at least
where whites are plaintiffs and de-
PENDANTS, that the characters of the
witnesses weighed for or against
their testimony. But when a Ne
gro is the plaintiff or defendant the
testimony of the Vilest white man.
or woman, and whose vileness has
been established BY the court rec
ords. IS accepted against the Ne
gro. UlriCh, a Self-COnfessed adul-
terer and an escape from Justice,
and Mrs. Alvarez, his paramour, |
with aliases, a self-cOnfessed adul- !
tereSs, is accepted in preference of
a Negro whose life has been, and
Is above reproach. There is one
conclusion, however, little though
that NAV be, that one Of the JUS
tices, Justice O'Keefe. like the
late and immortal Justice Harlan. |

leagues, and stood out in favor of
punishment for Ulrich. the assail- |
ant. The expense and great Sac-I
rifce of time DR.. Washington made !
in going across the country three !
times to prosecute his assailant, will !
be accepted, by all fair men, as evi-
dence Of his innocence. No guilty |
man would go to many hundreds of
dollars expense, great inConveni- |
ence and loss Of time to prosecute, |
when a noIle PROSE- offers a sim
pie and Inexpensive way out But
Dr. Washington, conscious of his /
innocence, and strong in his belief
that justice might be had, posi-
tively would not agree to a nolle
PROSE-. Verify, for a Negro, JUS
tice is becoming a rara avis.

W BARNS BURN

In the last two weeks, two barns

contents including stock, feed. and
farming implements to the value Of
about 100000 with no insurance.
One night week before last ',lr.
Ike Kimbrougb, who lives about seven
miles West of this place lost his barn
with contents, sustaining a loss Of
about 100000. This fire occurred
about the midnight hour and no
known cause for the FIRE can be given.
His loss strikes him severely as most
OF his possessions were consumed.
Last Thursday night shortly after
feeding time Mr.. WiIburn, who lives
four miles East Of town lost his barn

some fine stock, as well rs his feed
stuff. The origin ct the FIRE here is
