The writer Of thie article was born
Ia the South and has lived among
Southern people for more than
three score years, snd they do
not intend for any Organ and Ken
tucky Colonel to set up ne
gro AS golden calf to worship;
and they do not want and neither
will they ever tolerate anything
that tends TO 'cementing the un-
ion between the two racee." The
negro will be made to stay in his
proper sphere and place, and the
sooner he diaabuses his mind
about there ever being any "un-
ion between the two races" in
the South the better for his peace
OF mind and safety. The white
men OF the South would shed
their last drop of blood before
tolerating any ''union between
THE two races +" That ia the last
thing they wan. &C emented."
1t will be remembered that
few weeks ago the Laurel Leader
published an article in which it
was threatened to uproot and de-
stroy the Jones County ARricul-
tural High School, just because
the News insisted that the voters
OF jones county be permitted to
say at the ballot. box whether or
not they wanted hospital bonds
Issued, privilege already accor-
ded the people of Laurel.
Rev. Gates, a "Me- -Toon for
the Kentucky Colonel, nearly
split his throat bowling in accord
and advocated treating both Eli
lisville and the A. ii. S. as the
Lord did Sodom and Gomorrah.
Now, in face Of that dire threat
by the Laurel Leader TO tear up
root and branch the grandest in
5titution in our county for the
mental advancement. of the white
ooys and girls outin the country,
letting them grow up in benight-
I'D ignorance, how can a decent,
self-respecting white man in our
county swallow the following ed
torial that appeared in the Lead
sr few days ago. Read it in
with that Booker
Washington eulogy, and the dire
.hreat to destroy the A. H. s.,
md then tell us if you want any
such sheet forced upon you ss a
county organ or even to enter
your house?
While trying to tear down and
destroy noble institution for the
education of white boys and girls
that Laurel paper has the brazen
audscity to demand that the
white people Of Jones county and
the itire South be taxed still
deeper than they are to give the
negro a higher education.
Here is an editorial copied from
the Laurel Leader of last week,
and read in connection with that
attack on our A. H. s, is enough |
to make the blood of every white
person in our county fairly boil
in his veins:
Zone thing l. certain, however, and
that Is the surest aud quickest way to
abolish rspine and lynching 10 the
South is to ,dacate the negro and
make law-sbiding citizen OF him.
Give him chance 10 think and work
for himself. Not until then will the
negro take his place among the re-
spected eilizeus.n
