Eight Lynchings

ACCORDING to the Tuskegee
report there were six lynchlngs
for the first half Of the year
1898. Since that time South Car
olina and Mississippi have each
added black spots to Americas
record OF barbarism.
During the week when Ameri-
ca was celebrating her Indepen-
cence as a free country founded
upon the proposition that "all
men ara created equal South
Carolina lynched a man Of color
because he struck white man.
Last week a Negro Is alleged
to have made improper remarks
to a white woman and his body
was found hanging in the fields
Of Mississippi.
IN NEITHER CASE was the
lynching brought on as a result
OF rape. It Is very important
that the record be kept straight.
for the reason that southerners.
and Northerners, too, for that
matter. attempt to Justify lynch
ing on the ground that It Is nee
essary to protect white women
from the rapists who infest the
Negro race.
When this fool argument is
made colored citizens should be
able to fefute the accusation by
showing that Negroes are lynch
ed for striking white men in self
defense and for walking on the
wrong side of the street. White

davits as to the child's birth and
charged and collected from him

ing the quarrel Mrs. Palmer
threatened to tell the truth alb
