ShAiou SlotoSs TIC tension lS drawn Rp-

the constantly increasing assaults up
on white women by negro brutes.

Almost any nation will long endure

tematic raping and numbering of the
women and'girls of the superior race
there IS bound to be q reckoning
and q severe one
To my mind. the patience OF the
Southern people up 90 date is q mat

tricts. For some unaccountable rea-
son, Los Angeles, California, seems
coon-crazy. Men and women claiming
to be white, think much more of q
big buck corn-field niger than they
do of n white man. It must be the
smell. In order to give the readers
Of The Intelligencer some idea OF
conditions in that CITY,. I reproduce two
recent dispatches sent out to the news
papers. Here Is the first one. dated
March 3:
Convicted of robbery for having
stolen a kiss from n white girl, Chas.
III. Guyton. a young negro! was SEN
fenced today to thirty years in Folsom
prison by Judge Willis of the criminal
department Of the superior court. The
charge on which tho negro was tried,
alleged that he held UP Miss Daisy
Stagwell and relieved her OF n dime
all the money she possessed. Then he
compelled her, under threats OF death,
TO kiss him. after which he gave her
ten cents back. Guyton was alleged
TO have subjected six other white girls
to similar treatment. When he plead
cd for probation. today for the sake of
his wife and children, Judge Willis
cut him short with the declaration
that such q man was too dangerous to
be allowed lat large"
That sounds quite natural, but IL II
had been in South Carolina or Ander-
son county. the officers would have
had to hide their prisoner out. or some
one would. have CLEANED his plow'
before he eve got to Jail. But. listen!
hold your breath-and also your nose:
"Los Angeles, March 4.-Protests,
threats Of recall and denunciation
poured In today upon Judge Willis of
the criminal department Of the super
Tor court because of his action yes
terday in sentencing to thirty years
imprisonment. Charles H. Gnyton, a
young negro convicted of highway
robbery, though his only loot was a
white girls kiss. Populations OF white
women visited the judge today to de-
mand that action be taken to save
Guyton from such severe punishment.
Telephone messages informed that.
petitions were being prepared for his
recall. Other white women called In
person to say that steps would be
taken to procure a pardon from the
governor. Judge Willis explained that
the negro had been convicted OF high
way robbery. He Ind taken a dime
from the white girl, although he gave
it back after he had kissed her, and
he had subjected six other white girls
to similar treatment, besides criminal
ly attacking two negro girls. One de-
putation OF white visited the
district attorney to learn what proce-
dure was necessary to impeach the
Judge or otherwise remove him from
Office" 49, !.
What kind of class of white women
were they who went In crowds to
Judge Willis beseeching and threaten
ing him for giving the limit to this
miserable lecherous African who went
over the city giving foulest insults
to decent young girls? 1t it possible
that this black Romeo is the only
coon In Los Angeles, and that white
women are hanging round on the cor
ners waiting to be insulted by this
s~weet-seented sion Of ~Senegambion
ancestry? Are ringers SO rare in Los
Angeles that their white admirers
! cannot afford. to lose one to the peD!-
Tertiary for 80 minutes, much lees 30
years. II So, somo ~enterprising South
| Carolinian ought TO round up n cat
tie car loed OF good healthy young
bucks and skin out for. Los Angeles.
He'd make money. Honest to God! III
I lived in o city where such things oc-
CURED, I'd move out if.I had to walk.
! Somehow or other, after reading those
dispatches. I have a kinder feeling to-
wards the McNamaras and Ortie Nc
Manigal. .
In closing, I simply wish TO state
that my sympathles are with the white
people OF the Fair Play section.
Respectfully,
VICTOR d. CHESHIRE.
