Famous Conferer.
ate Generals
Wife Denounces
Outbreaks
Against Negroes

| N' WIS. ueloH DOfC
en- Longstreet, daughter of E
confederate general, widow Of
one of the most famous Confed
crate generals, struck another
blow for the cause of the Negro
recently when she wrote a scath
ing denunciation of the new out
breaks now being perpetuated
against the Negro, which was
carried in the Macon Telegraph
She writes:
The outbreak in our United
states against the Negro dis
graces the name America. It is a
strange and cruel aftermath of
a war for freedom, in which
black men fought as bravely and
died as gallantly as white men. to
give rights to peoples of other
lands denied them in their own
country.
If a small per cent of the
widespread effort to rob the Ne
gro of his constitutional rights
were devoted to protecting him in
life, liberty, justice, equality of
opportunity and the pursuit of
happiness - eternally the rights
OF all men - our United States
would be happier place for all
of us. White people cannot in
jure our colored citizens without
injuring themselves more.
Social equality stands apart.
1t cannot be legally regulated
under Republican form of gov
ernment. 1t has nothing to do
with the Negroes constitutional
rights. 1t is the red herring
drawn across the field by Negro
haters to confuse the issue.
"The South is largely indebted
for its economic progress to the
back-breaking toll of the Negro
since the decree of Appromat-
tox struck the shackles from his
limbs. The progress of colored
Americans. under frightful handi
caps, since the War between the
States, has no parallel in his
tory.
"The achievements of George
Washington Carver, Booker T
Washington, Leonard F. Morse
and countless other Negro lea
ders, belong to the age! Their
fame is imperishable upon the
rolls of great Americans and
should be cherished as a ma.
tional heritage.
"The late Henry Grady, editor
and statesman, wrote sublime
truths across the bosom of the
stars, which I would letter
across the heart of every Ameri
can. Said Mr.. Grady, sixty-odd
years ago:
We remember with what
fidelity, for four years, he (the
Negro) guarded our defenseless
women and children, when hus-
bands and fathers were fighting
against his freedom. To his eter.
nal credit be it said that when
ever he struck a blow for his own
liberty he fought in open battle.
and when at last he raised his
black and humble hands that the
shackles might be struck off.
those hands were innocent of
wrong against his helpless
charges. Let us give him his ut
termost rights and measure out
justice to him in the fullness the
strong should always give to
the weak. Whatever we take from
hlm in violence, that is unworthy
and shall not endure. What we
steal from him in fraud, that is
worse. But what we win from him
In sympathy and affection. that is
precious, and shall endure, and
out OF it shall come peace !"

his feet out of bed. reaching for
his slippers. He stood up and
slipped on his robe and then went
to the window. He poked his head
out and looked down. A man stood
on the lawn, dressed in tin pants
and calked boots and a tin coat
and a rain hat - standard log
gers gear.
'Yes," Joe said. What is it,"

Otherwise, it was much the

feeling in his stomach, and the
trembling in his legs. Only now he
was a doctor, an MD. instead of
an aid man in the mud of Nor

Suddenly there were lights
ahead, and the vague shapes of
men standing around the big bull

like tank in the darkness. A man

1t was the big, redheaded logger
who had been at the dance hall.
He was impaled on one of the lev

had rolled one and a quarter turns
and now rested on its side. Red
was a muddy. limp rag doll, hang

The beam of the flashight

shock.

Joe picked a sharp instrument
out of his bag and cut away some
clothing, and then injected half a
grain of morphine. He reached
for Reds pulse. 1t was weak and
rapid. He cut away more clothing
and peered at the spot where the
lever had gone in. There had not
been any excessive bleeding. At
least the men had had brains
enough to leave Red where he was.
They'd have killed him if they'd
pulled him off that lever.
