HOW THE BETTER NEGROES
FEEL ABOUT NEGRO CRIME

Recently there have been some
shocking murders committed in Flor
Ida by negro degenerates, including
the killing of Mrs. Wilson up in Ma
rion county. These crimes and
many others of frequent occurrence
charged against that race stir deep
resentment In the minds of white
people, and in that mental state it
is easy to feed our indignation by
wholesale injustice to the innocent
for that is the way Of man when his
primal passions rise and he is seek
ing for victims to glut his venge-
full spirit. But 1t can't be said too
often that here in the South the
great mass of the negroes are peace
able, safe and law-abiding and the
lawless element is probably less than
two per cent of the whole.
And it is to be noted also, that
there is rapidly growing spirit
among the negroes to distinctly Sc
gregate the. criminal element, with
hold all sympathy and assistance
from them and join with the whites
in handing them over to the law for
punishment. The recent murder of
Mrs. Wilson in Marion county terri
bly, inf1amed the rage of the white
people there; an innocent negro was
nea rlylynched and bitterness against
the negroes generally was much in
evidence. The other side Of this
picture is we'll shown by a letter from

When the northern farmer has po-
tatoes, everybody, everywhere, mas
them. hence his new potatoes bring
no more than old ones, often not
as much. because the market is over
stocked. Not so with Florida; the
whole country is her market; even
other parts of the South.
This fact accounts for the high
prices Florida gets for nearly every
thing she produces; hence the high
money value Of her products per
acre.
The United States government re-
ports show that she gets an average
of $100.O6 from each acre IN cui-
tivation each year, while the best
agricultural states Of the North ana
West get an average Of s14 per acre.
In the above facts Is found an ex-
I PLANTATION demanded for certain FLOR
ida lands. For instance, some twelve
or fifteen years ago, at a certain
place in northern Florida, one could
buy all the land he wanted at MS
own price-but nobody wanted it
Then it was discovered that this
land was good potato land. Each
year more and more potatoes were
planted, until last year fully $50, GOO
barrels were shipped from there,
which brought the growers from ST.
100000 to 100000.
At the present rough lands five
miles from the railroad sell at $500
per acre, while improved land is
simply out of sight. But the lard
is worth the price, for no doubt 1t
has no equal anywhere as wealth

take the following which We feel
sure expresses the conviction and
feelings of nine-tenths Of the negroes
of the South:
1.-THE negroes that are law abiding
and know that their future is safe
only through law and order are hui
inflated when it is inferred that they
would condone crime. They bear
the same relation to the criminal me-
gro as the law abiding citizens Of
the white race bear to the white
criminal. They express themselves
as hoping that the guilty party may
be caught and that he may be meted
punishment for the crime. They
wish to be on record as standing
only for the proper and legal acts of
men and to have it known that they
do not favor, encourage or condone
crime. If the daily tasks performed
by the colored people are noted, their
|faithfulness to their masters in slav-
cry considered, their services in the
day Of freedom recognized and their
economic value to the State and ma
ton counted, we do not believe the
position of the best negroes can be
misunderstood or that they will be
thought of other than condemning
crime and ready to lend assistance
to redress the same. .

New Guinea. The party scaled VIII

The explorers were. attacked by Pa

and bows and arrows. The natives, as
it was learned later, had never seen
firearms and at the first volley fred
they fed. Later on the explorers be-
came better acquainted with the saw
ages and found them friendly. They
had attacked on general principles and
not because they had anything against
the intruders.
