Magistrate Douglas About Right

The State.
When three negro boys in New
berry disarmed another negro who
had slandered their mother and then
thrashed him, they were arrested and
carried before Magistrate Douglas
who fined them 81 each.
That ought to be a text for the AS
sociation for the Improvement OF the
Colored People. These three men
beat a negro severely with a strap.
Are not the Northern champions of
the Southern negroes convinced that
this white magistrate in Newberry
should have sentenced the black
white-cappers to a year in jail?
Magistrate Douglas believed that a
fine of 81 each was about right. The
State thinks so too.

Born IN. the: North he came with
his parents to South Carolina in his
