The Black Touch,

Legend tells us of a king who
was so endowed that everything
he touched turned to gold. Per-
haps in many years to come,
there may be a legend handed
down to the generations yet to
be telling of a people who once
lived in a place called America
which had what might be call the
Black Touch. The popularity of
the touch is that anyone not of
that race coming in contact with
it was forever undone.
That certainly seems to be the
case now. There is no white
man in the State today who is in
public or semi public life that
dares stand out boldly for abso-
lutte fair and squire dealing with
the Negro according to the privi-
leges of an American citizen.
There are many who believe i n
such but they sing it low for fear
of the ''Black Touch.
Most every legislator takes
pans to see that he speaks
and votes 80 that in after years
the ghost of this spectre does
not rise up against him. Es-
pecially will this be done now
because of the character of the
last campaign for governorship.
1t is really amusing to see just
how a recommendation for lit
tie money for Negro education
is couched, it seems that every
line is all but an apology, Oh,
if such conditions did not exist!
How good would it be if things
could just go on their merits.
Who would not feel better? Who
would not say that it would be
better for all concerned? May
the power of the BLACK Touch"
soon pass away and be forgotten.

The Peabody Fund.

:, We doubt very much whether
Mr.. Peabody would have left his
millions just. in the manner he
did in 1866 if he could have fore
seen the manner in which it has
been handled. Not that the fund
hasn't been honestly used but
rather the manne'. Although
given for the help of the entire
population Of the South, the Me-
gro, when the totals are consid-
cred, has been treated as though
he was not a large part of that
population. Furthermore there
seems to have been certain men,
hers Of the board whose chief
object was to see just what plans
they could carry through that
would give as little to the Negro
as possible.
If there is any part of the
South's population that needed
the money of this Yankee philan-
thropist, it certainly is the Me-
gro. There is not a real normal
school in the whole South for
the training Of colored teachers
maintained by any of the States,
and yet that board never attemp-
ted to establish one. The idea
seems seems to prevail that the
Negro can just teach any how.
But it is different when it comes
to other races, training Of the
best is necessary. And now there

A few days ago, an innocent
Negro was lynched in that law

that the Negro would not con-
fess." That was certainly Won

lynching before when the vic

seems to be the agency whereby
civilization is now taught and up
held, was not satisfied, it want

The victim was found and
promptly bound to an, iron pump
in the court yard. Wood, well
saturated with kerosene, was
piled around him, a lighted match
applied and a thousand or more
gentle, refined, cultured and re-
ligious spectators got a first class
demonstration in the useful art
of roasting. The officers of the
law were interesting observers,
they know who the chief cooks
were for there was no attempt
at disguise' No, nothing will be
done; the coroner's jury will
promptly find verdict Of death
caused by parties unknown to
the jury
Of course that's all, must not
civilization be upheld? And is
not that the way to doit? Court
houses are not made for any such
thing as that. That's old fash
ion, the mob is the latest thing.
Furthermore how can mobs learn
to roast such high priced meats
as beef, pork, lamb, etc, if they
occasionally cannot practice on
such cheap things as ''niggers?"
