Infamous Determinations.
Pioneer Press, Martensburg.

What terrible thing, for a peaceful
laboring and country-loving people,
whose patriotism has been to this
nation gloriously tested in every war,
to be denied mans rights. In come
foreigners, who know nothing of our
country's laws; speak not a word of
our language, yet they can eat in res
taurants, ride on f1rst-class trains and
boats, stop at hotels; in short do what
any white man can. It is quite time
that decent and refined coored people,
every one Of more or less mixed blood,
should be accorded the same right.
Shame on America. If true, and God
declares it, that what people SOW that
shall they also reap; what heart
rendering harvest is ripening to be cut.

LYNCHERS' CORPS.

War devastates Europe. The Chris

poor people to go out and kill one an
other and after attending church where
their swords are blessed by the priests
and they pray to God for success, the
massacre starts.

corps in this country, which for eff

inhuman generals look like lot of

who boosted in the United States
Senate that Afro-Americans were

their rights as free men, would be an
ideal man for chief of staff. Ben is
a great "Christian" and it is said that
he knows more about the Bible than
any other Senator.
Senator Vardaman, that great "Chris-
tian" who has devoted his life to the
undoing of colored brethren; Senator
Williams also of Mississippi, whose re-

Senator Hoax Smith, whose news

Atlanta riot, are just the men for

Silence is Infamous.

Possibly the worst thing permitted
to go on and work injury to Negroes,
has been the silence of Negro speak

West about Negroes raping white

Jewish Girl Outraged and Crucifiee

Jewish Girl Outraged and Crucified
BY Russians.
Berlin-One of the most revolving
crimes in the dark history of Russia
was reported here in a special dispatch
from st. Petersburg, telling of three
Russian youths having outraged and
then crucified the daughter of poor
Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the
Volga.
After outraging the young girl, the
dispatch declares, the three youths
dragged her to a cemetery, where they
nailed her to cross above one of
the graves. Nails were driven through
her hands and feet and even through
her eyes. The three murderers were
arrested, but their friends in the town
released them and they escaped, it is
asserted. ...

GROWTH OF DRUG Habit
Prohibitionists Pay Little Attention to
Country's Serious Menace,

=
Duluth, Mimi, Aug-Commenting
On the accumulation of evidence that
the drug habit is growing at an ap-
palling rate in this country, the Duluth
Herald of August 18th says editorially:
1T is claimed that this country uses
more opium than China, and that it has
become the chief market of the world
for this deadly drug.
Drugs kill more people than whis-
key, and kill them in a more dreadful
way They kill the soul long before
they kill the body. They kill the con-
science and turn human beings into
f1ends. They corrode moral faculties,
and kill lingeringly, terribly.
Half the enthusiasm and zeal put
into the prohibition movement would
slay the drug evil.
"Yet there is much enthusiasm and
zeal for the prohibition movement and
very little interest in the drug men
ace.
"Why?"

The Reason Why.
(AfrO-American Ledger.)

One of the reasons why the South
is in it's present backward condition
is because the white people of the
South pay more attention to trying to
keep the Afro-American in 'this place."
whatever that may be, instead of try
ing to make progress and have the
colored man to assist him in doing
so. We are creditably informed that
Wilmington, N. c., has been falling
back in the race ever since that riot
took place which drove from it large
element of it's very best and most
progressive colored people. It has
lost it's standing as the first city of
the old Tar Heel State, and is COM
PEELED to take second or even third
place.

refusing little colored children places

and Corrections, the county Jail at Min
den, in Kearney county, should be taken
out of the basement, which is dark and
low, and placed on the first floor of the
court house The county does not own a
poor farm.
Buffalo county has good Jail although
the building Is a little old. The poor
farm has a house four stories in height.
and Mr.. Shahan recommends that the
building he torn down and made not over
two stories high. because Of the effort
required for the old people in the home
to get to the upper stories.
Dawson county has a neat one-story
Jail, modern in most instances, but there
are no prisoners to enjoy its comfort,
The poor farm is run in good shape, but
is too far away from the county seat, and
at the election the proposition was voted
on to sell it and buy another closer to
town.
lincoln county has fine large jail in
which the sheriff lives There were seven
prisoners at the time Mr.. Shahan was
there. The one female prisoner is kept
in the second story OF the Jail and the
males on the first floor. Lincoln county
has no poor farm
Adams county has n good Jail, outside
of the fact that 1t is in the basement of
the court house, which Mr. Shahan is
opposed to. This county has a fine poor
farm, in charge of C. Nv. Hall, who has
been superintendent for ten years.
