erer was called black scoundrel''
by one of the victims. 1t is of this
expression l wish to speak. 1t meant
that the color of he murderer should
have been black as crimes were a
black mans characteristic. 1t gave
crime a color. 1t was a reproach to
the murderer who was disgracing his
color. And strang to say, a great
many negroes accept this view of
their color and they use such express
sions as: BLACK and evil" He is a
black man but he has a white heart"
and He is alright, he will treat you
white"
When Aggie Meyers husband was
fighting for his life with a murderer
in his ow nhome; he called to his
wife to aid him, his wife whom he
loved; for whom he provided a home
and comforts, and she had the heart
not only to disregard his cry of dis
tress. but offered the murderer a wea-
pom to finish killing her husband. Ag-
gle Meyers was a white woman and
therefore musct have a white heart
And yet, there are thousands of black
women, whose supposedly black
hearts would have melted in pity or
tenderness and could not hold out to
do what Aggie Meyers did.
The men in East St. Louis, who
burned alive in their homes innocent
and aged Negro men and women and
threw living Negro babies in the
flames, and the women who tore the
clothes off Negro women in public and
beat themselves into insensibility,
these men and women were white and
therefore had white hearts. TIL mob
in Southern tsate took an unfortun-
ate Negro, bound helpless in chains
and thrust red hot pokers into his
eye sockets and burned holes in his
quivering flesh with heated irons;
then burned alive, without remorse or
pity, a being made in the image of
their Creator; these people. say, were
white and had white hearts.
The fact is: mans heart is Meth.
er black nor white, it is good or bad.
Fortunately there are white people
who are noble, honorable, upright,
Just, fair-minded, who would not will
ingly wrong their fellowman and
who have good hearts in them, and of
course, there are others who have had,
very bad hearts.

DEATH OF LITTLE SON
OF Mr.. AND MRS. w. H. GRAY

The little son of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
H. Gray died at their home four miles
West of Greeneville Sunday morn
ing, of pneumonia. The funeral will
be conducted this afternoon.
Thus over a happy home the shad-
ow of little grave has fallen, and,
as mother has said, it is wonderful
how long a shadow a little grave can
throw.
This beautiful baby life was so
precious, so frought with blessings
to his parents that he seemed a flower
of paradise permitted to bloom for a
brief season by their side, then re-
called to its nature skies, leaving the
earth road for those lonely and dark
indeed.
