JUSTICE FOR NEGRO,
GOV. DORSEY'S PLEA
Georgia Executive Says State
Is Disgraced by Treat
ment Of Blacks.

ATLANTA, May 12-Gov. Dorsey made
reply tonight to two criticisms directed
at him since his publication of a list of
1876 alleged cases of mistreament OF
negroes In Georgia. and declared 1.-The
negro has been subjected to mistreat-
ment in Georgia. and the time has come
to inaugurate a new policy If we are to
retain our own seif-respect and maintain
our position as a civilized people before
the world"
Since 1855, the Governor said. there
have been 415 negroes lynched in
Georgia.
The replies were made to Judge r. r.
Shirley and Solicitor General M. l.. Felts
Of the Superior Court of Toombs Circuit
warranton. and to Judge f. II. Searcy
Of the Superior Court of Flint Circuit
Griffin. The first named two had taken
exceptions to statements made with the
list issued by the Governor. One charge,
denied by Judge Searcy. was that a
Superior Court Judge had promised be-
fore trial that negro should be sent to
the chain gang.
Asserting that he recognized the case
as that Of ed White, negro of Up
son county. Judge searcy said the Gov
SFfloT Hdu .,pupiicly HioActSu tHe Sheh =
State Judiciary without dnquiring of
the Judge really referred to as to the
truth Of the charge"
Gov. Dorsey asserted he had sent a
reputable white man, lin whom | have
every confidence, into Upson county to
investigate the case. and that this man
had brought reports from half a dozen
white merchants and citizens attesting
to the good character and high financial
standing Of the negro White"
From a report made by white mer-
chant. the Governor quoted as follows
"The treatment of White and his fam
lily was perfectly outrageous and dis
grace to Georgia. The whole matter
came about through jealousy OF Whites
success. White was innocent was foully
treated and ought to be pardoned.
"Other citizens according to the Gov
ernor's investigator, said they could not
risk their business fortunes by getting
on the negro's side in controversy with
white people of the county"
| The Governor declared the report OK
his Investigator gave "a detailed account
OF the shooting up OF the negro's home
when only his wife and small children
were in it."
In replying to the statment by Judge
| Shirley and Solicitor Fets in regard
to the alleged whipping of Oscar Ed
wards, negro, by small group OF
! whites, the Governor said:
II should have been derelict in my
duty as Governor If i had failed to
direct your attention specifically to this
| case as Ii was reported to me.
You say that the cause of the beat
| ing of Oscar Edwards was the use by
the negro Of an oath. one which nc
| Southern white man accepts ! am sure
t~that you will agree with me that the
true spirit of the AngloISaxion, to which
you refer with pride in which l shar,.
calls for the resentment of such an in
eult at the time when given, and never
| justifies waiting for the cover of the
night TO go in a mob. however small, =
