AN EAST INDIAN GOOD NIGGER.'

An East indian by the name of Bus
tonjee. or Tombigbee, or something of
the sort, is in the United States de-
nouncing the courageous East Indians
who are fighting for their rights as
men against the aggressions of the
British
Evidently Bustonjee is a paid ennis
sary of the British government, or of
some organization which has for it's
object the crushing out of the liberty
of the masses of the East indians.
1t is a strange fact that every race
produces class of men who are will
ing to belittle their own people for
the smiles or cash of the oppressor
We have hundreds of the good mig
ger" class here in the United States,
who glory in doing all they can to in
jure the Afro-American people, pro-
vided they can get jimcrow office in
some alleged Christian organization or
the cash of the white man. Many
would sell their souls to have some
cheap Caucasian refer to them as
good niggers." ....

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1912.

Any old excuse will do so that the
inhuman southerners may indulge in
their most delightful pastime of lynch
ing Afro-Americans. On last Tuesday,
near Marshall, Tex, George Sanders
and Mary Jackson were taken from
their home and hanged by a mob of
unidentified (?) brutes in human form
because they had lived in the same
rouse with Tennie Sneed" who shot
and killed Paul Strange, white man,
January 30. They used to claim they
seldom resorted to lynching except
for assaults or alleged assaults upon
white women, but now any sort of
excuse will Go. 1t seems strange that
these ''superior race" people are so
heartless. If God is just, and we be-
lieve He is. they are heaping up wrath
against the day Of wrath. vengeance
is mine, | will repay saith the Lord"
