Antipathy to the Negro and unjust
abuse of him is born of misconception
of his place in southern industrial life.
What truth there is in charges made
to the grand jury of abuses practiced
by city officials against Negro prison
ers this writer does not know. But the
picture drawn by charges OF beatings
inflicted. of property confiscated aud
of general mistreatment of ignorant
and unprotected blacks closely paral-
lels the hideous picture OF the Black
Hole of Calcutta, and constitutes a
blot upon the record of this boasted
section Of civilization.
The Negro Is yet ward of this ma
ton, of the white men who compose,
guide and direct II. and he Is entitled
to the protection and care of the
courts and OF society. He is, too. an
important integral part OF our indus
trial life. BY his labor the South has
prospered. the fires of industry have
been kindled and kept alive. He guides
the pillow In thousands OF fields. He
delves deep into the bowels OF the
earth and brings forth treasure for
the people.
That many Negroes are ignorant Is
no fault of theirs: that many are
vicious is but natural tendency OF
the human race, both white and black.
Yet the Negro must ever be regarded
as producer. especially In this South
land OF ours. Remove him from the
industrial fields of the South. and the
loss would fall heavily upon capital
and progress would be retarded.
II Is thought that the Bessemer case
is not the only one that should be ven
tilated and punishment follow. Tho
fee system has long oppressed the Ne
gro, and many are the victims OF In
justice at the hands OF official oppres-
sors. The strong hand OF the law
should be invoked TO protect the OPP
pressed, and intelligence and morality
should demand fairness for blacks and
for whites alike. Let IL be remem-
bered that dependence between whites
and blacks Is mutual In this great In.
dustrial district. and to discourage and
drive away one class would work seri-
Gus hardships TO the other. The bone
and sinew OF blacks directed by the
brain and capital OF whites constitutes
the driving force In our march Of
progress.
Is II not probable that such abuses
as those alleged against Bessemor Of
ficials cause criminal Negroes to so
often shoot and KIN deputy sherifis

TRAP FOR POSTUM
Canned Salmon or Sardines USE
full as Bait.
Expert Gives Some Hints That May
Lead TO the Capture Of This De-
light Of the Southern Darby
Fur OF Little Value.

Il is usually easier to take couple
OF good dogs into the country, espe-
cially that country below the Mason
and Dixon line. to secure opossums,
than 1t Is to bother trapping them.
But this does not mean that Mr.. Pos
sum is difficult to lure into trap.
For bait, use canned salmon or sar-
dimes. It will bring every opossum
within smelling distance. Set the
traps near any thick woods, or IN
shallow bitches. The best method for
water sets is to stake fish Just above
the surface of the water and surround
