The people of South Carolina are evi
IDENTIFY satisfied with Cole Blssse as q
governor, no matter how foul mouthed
he is, nor how silly and embarrassing
the positions in which he places his
state through his eowardly' and bar
barous remarks. The southern White
people and Black people know very
well when they hear a man bleating
as he has been respecting Negro men
and White women marrying, that all
his noise is for the purpose of throw
ing dust into the air to prevent them
seeing what the White men and Black
women are doing without marrying.
Black women were forced to yield
their virtue to the White men of the
south during the $50 years Of ehsttel
slavery. The vast majority of slave
owners had q White family and a
Black family. Indeed, this was the
persistent practice, and it became Sec
ond nature, as it were, and no people
are more familiar with it than the
White and Colored people who live in
the south today. And even today
White men of the south maintain Col
ored mistresses. And yet q man who
is the titular head Of the people Of
a great state dares to scatter broadcast
string Of filthy words against the
institution of marriage
If it had ever been possible for us
to marry a White woman, We should
have failed to do 50. But it does seem
to Us that it is far better for persons
to marry than to live in a state Of
shameless eOneubinage, whether the
people be White or Black or Black
or White.-The Independent, Denver,
Colo, Jan. 4, 1913.

JEFF Davis, United States senator
from Arkansas, died very suddenly at
Little Rock, last Thursday evening
from apOplexy. In all of his political
career, being elected governor of his
state three times and holding other DO
litieal positions, he greatly delighted to
initiate Senator Benjamin R. Tillman
in his brutal and half savage assaults
upon the entire Negro race, being
coarse and unpublished in his manner
and possessing very little education.
Senator Davis became the laughing
stock Of the whole world when he be.
came q member Of the United States
Senate and attempted to address it.
In 1908 he was down for an grafton at
