- A case like the Kilkenny cats hap
pencd near Starr, in Anderson county
Monday afternoon. when Charles Rice
and Moot, Sanders, two negroes, killed
each other. There were no witnesses,
but the weapons were found, d
pistol and shotgun. Both negroes
were in buggies when they met
and whether they fired at the
same time or whether one was not
seriously hurt at first will never be
known. a singular coincident was
that both men stayed in their buggies
after being shot to death, one being
carried to q neighbor's house by his
mule and the other getting very near
his own home when he fell from the
buggy. Sanders had two wounds from
a. .3S calibre. revolver, one in, the leg
and one in the breast, and Rice was
shot in the legs by thugs and shot.
II is supposed that he bled-to death.

r. II. Motion, Booker T. Washing
toms successor as principal of Tuske-
gee Institute, declared in statement
at Tuskegee, Ala, Wednesday regard
ing the recent race riots in several
cities in the north and south that II
was difficult to understand why there
should be so much apparent suspicion
and bitterness on the part Of both the
white and negro races. Il have
never known the colored people TO
have more intense feeling toward the
white people than at the present, DR..
Motion said, land | have never known
d time when there was less reason. l
never knew time when the white
people of the south, not only the lead
ing white people but the average
white man, was more anxious than at
present to be absolutely fair and just
to the negro-to see to 1t that the COL
ored race in the south had better
school facilities, better railroad accom-
modations and adequate protection IN
der the law. This is also true OF the
north. There was never time When
the south and the north, too, saw more
clearly the value OF the negro as an
economic factor in industrial opera
tions. | never knew a time when
southern white people felt more
chaErined and humiliated at the awful
crime of lynching than they do today,
and | never knew time when they
were more determined to put down
moh rule, whether aimed at black or
white than now. Many Of the lead
ing papers of the south are speaking
out as never before against all f, rms
of injustice and unfairness to the
colored race. We, north and uth,
should make up our minds that there
is room enough. there is opportunity
enough for colored and white to work
peacefully and harmoniously here in
America, each living his life unhamp-
cred by any act or any untoward at
titude of the other, and | hope that
our leaders in every community, white
and black, will get together and
smooth out matters that are misun-
derstood so that America can teach
the world that black people and white
people can live peacefully and harmon
iously in our great country"
