jackson, Tenn.-A mob of one hun
dred or more white people gathered,
bent on lynching Walter Elkins, who
has struck a white fellow workman
on the head with an iron bar. Both
men are employed at the Illinois Cen
trail Shops. Spurred on by their wives
a number of members of the Race
armed themselves with Winchesters
and revolvers, buckled their belts
around their waists and went to the
home of Elkins, where they guarded
i'm through the night. The mob
started towards the home but when
told that hot reception was await
ing them turned back.
The news of the Paducah lynch
ing by the workers of the Illinois
Central shops put the same bee in the
bOnnets of these men, but the MEM
bers of the Race were ready to sacri-
fee their lives, to do or die like the
brave Crispus Attucks in the Revolu-
ton. The South knows no law when
it comes to the black man. The of
ficers of the law don't try to prevent
lynching. BUT AROUND THE
WORLD WILL LIVE THE DEED
OF THIS SMALL NOBLE BODY
OF MEN WHO BRAVELY DE-
Fl;NDED ONE OF THEIR KIND
AND REFUSED TO SEE HIM DIE
LIKE A DOG.

The Question Of Taxation.

There is no governmental
question of more vital concern to
the people than that of taxation.
II is as old as civilization and has
occupied the minds of statesmen
and rulers from the earliest re-
corded time.
1t is but just that men who
are hedged about by the majes-
4 of the law, protected in their
rights to life, liberty and pur.
suits of happiness, through the
instrumentality of an organized
society, should be compelled to
pay for the privileges and bless
ings they enjoy.
The man who has reached the
highest perfection of understand
ing and is capable of comprehend
ing the theory of civilization will
always pay the full measure of
his taxes without a murmur on
his lips.
And why? Because the tax
you pay is the price you give for
the protection the government
casts around you. 1t places a
shield of protection between your
life and the hatred Of your enem
les. 1t protects you in the per-
Torrance Of your daily duties,
and through a multiplicity of
laws, prevents the brigand of
the Kings highway from carry.
ing away the fruit of your honest
toll, 1t builds schools and uni.
versities, and places within easy
reach of your children an educa.
ton, and thus prepares them for
the battles of maturity. 1t builds
penal institutions for the confne.
ment of the criminals, and asy-
lums and hospitals for those who
are unable to care for themsel.
YES. And when at last you pass
away it still stands as guardian
representing you in the distribu-
ton of your property and lastly
places the sentinel of security at
your grave for the benefit OF
loved ones left behind"

not a fact that it is easier for
you to create possessions in the
advance value of lands and other
property than to toll through the
heat Of summer to do so. And it
is the first consideration of every
good, wise and thrifty farmer
to see to it well that everything
he owns is increasing in value
thereby adding to his already
accumulated holdings. Do you
think that your children will rise
up and denounce you for giving
them good roads and also a road
tax to pay? If you are leaving
them a landed estate increased in
value by virtue of the roads, and
all by your enterprising spirit
voting upon yourself and them
the little increase in taxation.
No, but on the contrary they will
always praise their fathers for
their forethought and would say,
we would feel ashamed Of them
should they have left US with the
expensive mud roads and forced
us to build good roads and get all
the benefit of them while they
are sleeping in their graves.
Good roads are coming, one way
or the other. We may by our
votes refuse to build roads and
take advantage of State aid, but
other counties are going to and
are now taking advantage and il
is only a question of time until
we will have TO whether we
want 10 or not.
