LETTERS FROM GEORGIAN READERS. WITH ESPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE RACE QUESTION the inevitable remedy. _ 0 the Editor Of The Georgian: Permit me a fen- wort* In your (olumne on the "Reign of Terror" ,U Fl'r9t" what (hall be done with the ttegro rnplet, who assaults a white *geo"nd, what shall be done with the „Mte man who lives with negro worn- Jn and 1» the father of mulatto chil- <r The solution of the one demands the l °They , are ^separable. Their results, -nmoleated, would In time bring about iSfseme end, namely, racial equality. 1 Tou may search history through all . and you will And this truth. Where races live on the same soil It Is g question of time until the hlgh- „ will pull the lower up to Its stand- JL, or the lower will drag the higher Sown to Its level. If the negro re mains nmongst us. one of these two ovinia will inevitably happen In time. JSl-S/ore, I say, as the United States awns the Philippines and the majority at the Inhabitants of those Islnnds are Miroes. why not send all the negroes ia the Philippine Islands, giving them " ..change there the same value In linnertv that they possessed here and hrlnff to the United States all tlje whites now residing In the Philippines, firing them the same value In property 5,re that they possessed there, and, If „„,., a ry. put oh a pro rata taxation on the Whites of the United States to niv their transportation? I. for one, would be willing to pay my Just share. This taxation could be extended over „ nr twenty years, if necessary. Castrating the negro males would never do. The animal passions of the negro females not finding gratification with their equals would seek, more thin ever, their superiors, which would mean more dangers for wayward men •ed Innocent young boys, and—more mulattos. If you castrate the negro male you mu«t also unsex the female, and If the object la extermination, why not ex terminate them outright and be done wiih It? Better, I say. removo them from our midst before It Is too late. Increasing the police force In Atlanta and Fulton county will not solve the problem. An outrage Is Just as likely to occur In South Carolina, South Geor gia or Alabama as Atlanta. It Is a latlonal question, and must he settled nr the nation. Forcing the negro to co-operate with you in catching and punishing the rap- st Is not a remedy. Co-operatlotl dukes the remaining negroes more united In brotherly feeling. Hence, co operation Is one step nearer to assimi lation. Every while man who Is guilty of co- hobltatlon with a negro female is par tially responsible for every terrible out rage on our noble white women, and a just find will some day hold him so. The solution of the first question de mands also tho solution of the second. Faithfully yours, for purity. Justice, I reverence for our noble women and the welfare of niy country’, I nm a fiiub acrlber. Yours truly, E. J. LEBEN.

When you find men who are wronging the state, aye, wronging you and each of you, lay the matter before the next grand Jury and fur nish them the necessary evidence. Men ought voluntarily pay a Just tax to the state on their property, at a fair val uation. AVhen they’ try to scrimshank out of It In this way they ought to be made to dance. Talk about emigration to Georgia by agricultural people! Why, these unscrupulous speculators would run the devil out of hell with their prices, much less drive away emigrants. Tho remedy Is, If you would Induce Immigration, give to the settler the rlfcht of eminent domain, exercised In the name of the state upon his rela tion. Let the value of the condemned land be Just that value placed upon It by the owner in making his returns for taxes. This secures a home to all, and when done, and not till then, will Im migrants, assured of a home, come and settle In Georgia and In less than ten years thereafter the Increase In popu lation, land values and prosperity will be Incredible. Lands held for speculative purposes are simply what might be called dead lands, and when so held are of no bene fit to the state. It Is the state’s right to have them Improved, built upon, lived upon, and our general assembly should see to It that proper laws aro passed under which the desired end may be reached. Yours truly, FRANCIS H. HARRIS. HEART TO HEART TALK WITH OUR COLORED BRETHREN. INFERIOR RACES. To the Editor of The Georgian: The articles recently published In The Georgian jn the subject of the re. cent attacks on women by negroes, have completely expressed my views. There has been much misguided moderation and hesitation on the part of many. The truth of the matter Is that the old-fashioned slave, with his reverence and fear of the whites, has practically disappeared. In the place of him we have a new and strange creature practically un- Eminent Domain for 8ettlsrs. To the Editor of The Qeorglnn: The governor Is elected and Georgia lives. Politics ore quiet for a time, as the quotations say are ’’easy;’’ but our dear old state Is still with Us (God bless her) and the work of every son should be to build her up, and make her that which.nature. Intended, her to be, the "garden spot of the world.” Some time since I wrote you a let ter regarding the evil effect of land speculation upon emigration of agri culturists by reason of the-exorbi tant prices, oftau demanded, by the very men who unscrupulously returned the same land for taxes as low as (1 per acre. In that latter It was sug gested that as to the wild, unimproved tods of which there are thoutandt at acres, the right of eminent domain could be given the settler, to be ex ercised In the name of the state upon ms relation. Where so condemned to let the vnluatlon placed upon the lands hr the owner In making his return for tttes, be the meaaure of his damages, ™ est. the amount to be paid Him by the settler. This letter apparently pos sessed sufficient merit, because It was published in your paper rightly named Georgian." Since the above letter appeared my attention has been called to numerous Instances where lands, although on the market, were valued as high as (40 per sere, when offered for sale, and yet tne unscrupulous owner, or agent, re turned the same for taxes, at (1 and Mr , , air ®- Should this be dented the evidence Is forthcoming, to-wit: . ,*** digest and the affidavits of *ouId-he purchasers. hot greater outrage can possibly be Perpetrated upon the public than this, and yet it has become a condition here In Georgia. this might be reached and corrected by prosecution for false ■searing, of some of these gentry who JWJj* «ueh returns, If our grand Juries would ri° their duty.

As assertive as possible and as Ir responsible as If fresh from the Jun gles of Africa. J Of the three great races that at present dominate Europe and there fore the civilised world, the Germanic, the Latin and the Slav, the Germanic Is the only one where the people them selves will resent any attack on their women. The Slavonic race, according to the great Scandinavian historian, Greg consists of Russia, Poland, Bohemia! Roumania, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Ser- vla and Roumella. The Latin Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ve- netla. The Germanic, Norway, Swe den, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Hoilnnd and England. Now of these, It’s only the Germanic that Instuntly resents any attack on Its women. The Slnv will not do so, but will even amalgamate with the Inferior races. All Spantsh-Amcrlcn attest that the Latin will. They have submitted both In the In dian and the negro to what no South erner can understand. At one tlnte, prior to the acquisition of California, Nevada, Utah and Art- sons- and New Mexico, the tour grent tribes of North Mexican Indians Comanche, Lepan, Arapahoe and Nav ajo, made annual forays Into Mexico ns .far as the populous city of Durango. In the forays It was not the hut of the lowly peon that was struck at, but the wealthy haciendas, driving from them the proud dames of Andalusia to their mountain fastnesses. At one time It was estimated that there were over four thousand women held by the In dians as prisoners. And this In i>art Is the explanation of the savage war fare with the Texan colonist. The Indian did not understand the difference of race, but the Texan not only repuleed the Invasion, but prompt ly followed the Indian Into his own country and stamped out his attempt to Introduce his Mexican custom Into Texas. Rut the Rpar.lsh-Amerlcan Is no coward. Witness whsn Lopes the Younger, dictator of Paraguay, at tempted to aggrandise Paraguay at the expense of surrounding nations. He Intended to conquer Rio Grande Do Sul from Brazil, the state of Carrtente from Argentine and the llttlo republic of Bonda Oriental, now called Uruguay. Learning his Brasilian army had been defeated, he returned to Assunclon and fortified the two rivers and from 1862 to iSCT he withstood all effort* ot the allies to enter his capital and when they finally broke through after five years, his great army of three hundred and fifty thousand men was reduced to three thousand five hundred and ninety-nlne-hundrodlhi had been de stroyed. Were these men cowards? It Is Im possible to so think. And yet they submitted to a state of affairs a German would not have sub mitted to for fire minutes. A few years ago an attack was made on the life of Diaz, president of Mex ico. The police failed to guard tho would-be assassin properly and he was killed by a mob. The newspapers stat ed at the time It was the first lynching that had ever occurred In Mexico. Yet we don’t go to Mexico to learn civili zation. Til the Editor of Tho Georgian: The very sensible and considerate article of Editor Davis, the colored editor of The Independent, gives me great gratification. It has the true ring and ought to meet the Indorsement of every right feeling white man. The negro as a negro has his ene mies. The enmity Is based on the fact that he Is a negro. It Is no more a fact than that a Californian hates a Chinaman, a Chinaman stands ready to murder a yellow-halrd devil, or a Korean despises a Jap, and a Russian a Jew; but the feeling Is by no means universal. The best part of our peo ple do not hate, but really they have the kindest feeling toward the negro. They wish him well. They are willing to pass by In the educaed negro his absurd self-conceit to his annoying self-nssertlon. They wonder with the eaddllng many of the really remark able men have received from Northern and European whites that they are as bearable as they are. The whites have blamed, and they have had a right to blame, the leaders for the delicate and dainty way they have shaken off crimes, which are absolutely madden ing in their fearful atrocity. Of course, the Intelllgeht negroes do not Indorse these crimes. They In n word con demn them, but they have been too busy speaking of the wrongs of the lynchers not to lead white men to fear that they have not realized the enormi ty of the crime. But Sir. Davis speaks In no uncertain tones, and there are many like him. What he says about Atlanta dives Is well said. AVhen Atlanta strove to put out the dives and decent white men and wom en and a few colored people strove to have It done by law, negro women, with flaming badges, dragged their husbands and paramours to the polls to vote with foreigners and the whisky Interests against the measure. AA’hen Macon and Augusta tried to do the same thing the negroes- did ns they had done In Atlanta. To vote for prohibition, I was forced to stand an hour and over sandwiched between two dirty negroes, with red badges on, while a whisky selling Dutchman walked up and down the line urging the "negroes to vote de red ticket.” There was no white primary then, and no body of roughs to shove the negro from the ballottlng places. AVe are to blame as white people for keeping these dives open, and we have and will suffer while we do. I give the right hand to Editor Davis, and all men of his kind of every party or race. GEORGE G. SMITH. Macon, Ga. marked In some way that a negro may know that thoro is a place for him only on that car. Then you will see that there will be no need of making lines In the same car for blacks and whites. It may be true that some of u« negroes will not like this way of doing business, but let he or she stay off altogether. I am a man of the ’50’s and I own nothing ln these enterprises, so I have no kick coming at all. I am getting along In age now, and my business is such that I must take all the ncar-cuts possible. So give us separate apartments and let us go on our way rejoicing. Now, Mr. Editor, I will not place my name here, tor tear some one ot my fellow-men might take the dark for me on the corner some lonely night. But let me beg you to not for get the trailer car for the negro to ride In. I, for one, would be only too glnd to see them on. Truly yours, A SUBSCRIBER. Atlanta, Ga. THE CHURCH FAIR.

To the Editor of The Georglnn: That I have thoroughly enjoyed your editorials and the various comments thereon goes without saying-. I do not think, however, that the problem has so far been solved. The use of the knife would be too much like locking the stable door after the horse had been stolen. Extra police, marshals, etc., are very good, ns far as they go, but they can not cover enough territory. To allow the ladles to gp armed Is not at all possible, for, as I heard a lady ask, "How can a woman carry a pistol while doing her housework?’ If the measures of the old K. K. K. were re vived It would, Sooner or later, bring severe retaliation—barns, dwellings, etc., would be burned, and other simi lar crimes committed. Speaking of de porting the negroet, what would we do without the good uncles and aunties of the old regime? They are associated with our youthful and tenderest mem ories. They "stayed by tnlesus and de chlllen whilst marstcr was off, fight-' Ing in de war." They need us now and we need them. How could we have the heart to deport Uncle Remus? Some time ago a Judge, wise In his day and generation, had a negro brought before him for some crime, entitling Him to a Jail sentence. Instead of sending him to Jail, where he would havo been an expense to the county. the-Judge sentenced him to "go North and never come back here any more. The Northern people set you free, now- let them take care of you!” AVhy not round up all of these vagrant younger generation of negroes and send them north of the Ohio river and make them stay there? The North never has had any kind feeling for the South, and as It was entirely due to the envy and malice of the Northern fanatics "long haired men and short-haired women" that the negro was freed, and the South Impoverished, It Is only Just that the North should receive the "poor, down-trodden African” to Its bosom, keep hint there and take care of him. Some provision should be made also In regard to a white man or woman being nltotved to carry arms to pro tect themselves. The way the law Is now I must carry my gun a la "Alkali Ike,” or be fined and Imprisoned for carrying concealed deadly weapons. It Is well known to "the officers of the law" all over the country that every negro in their districts carries and often displays openly one or two pot metal revolvers. Yet they are never ar- rested. If a decent white man, how ever, Is found with "a gun In his clothes" he Is arrested, fined and Jailed. Not long ago a gentleman and his wife were visiting some friends In the suburbs of a town, and as they were returning to their hotel at 9 p. m. they were held up by three negroes. . - "ut of it,' t- “ c , h a land speculator Is no benefit •Cl "‘ate; he Is a menace to Its up- , ln * In every respect. t|r,„ ,* n , turp to say that the prosecu- and ronvlctlon of one maker, be he ofr.hEl 1 a „ < ' on »clencsless return, for the , ot swearing, and sen- »-juj 1 V- 10 ,h ® fuU limit ot the law fciSfi , 'Verth countless thousands ot ,i*° ‘he state and benefit the bona Sm.e h * ‘rothful tax payer by an aifnie reduction of mtllage on his agent, or attorney at law, ago respect for women distinguished and was a mark of the Germanic race. Have I any other authority? Yes. Wolfgang Menial, In his History of Germany, says In volume II that when crimes against women occurred the fury of the people knew no bounds. That they even destroyed the very sites whtre such crimes occurred. No measures too severe can be adopt ed, no punishment Is too great, for the woman of the South Is all that Is worth anythin, to us. ^ Q nuQatL Hlberton, Ga. R. F- D. No. *.

Each of the negroes had a revolver; the white man, being ’’a law-abiding citi zen,” was unarmed and consequently helpless.

Having lived In Atlanta, and knowing what a pleasant abiding place It Is, how good and friendly tne Inhabitants are, I always speak a good word for Georgia and Its people, trying to induce Immi gration, but It Is sure up to me to have people say, ’’Oh, yes. It Is a fine country, no doubt, but I can not risk taking my wife and daughter! there. Your stats Is too dangerous on account of the negroes.” No need In looking to "the North” for sympathy; It Is not thsre—for the South.

THE REIGN OF TERROR MU8T END To the Editor of The Georgian; ln your editorial headed ’’The Reign of Terror Must End,” I heartily agrfe with you. AVe cannot stand by and see our women, whom we love, sub jected to the negro's brutality. It must end and that at once. It haa got to where a lady cannot walk the streets of Atlanta without being Insulted by a negro. Fellow citizens, let's all get to gether and put a stop to these out rageous crimes. I have this sugges tion to make. Every negro that com mits a crime and Is found guilty, ban ish him unless It Is a capital crime, then hang him. By this means It will eventually thin them out. It will strike terror to the icarl of the negro and I don’t think t would be long until we would have a better race, of negroes. May God speed the day when our women can go about In safety. Yonrs, CLARENCE L. JESTER. Atlanta, Ga FONETIC 8PELLING. GET RID OF THE NEGRO. To the Editor of The Georgian: I have noted with much Interest the vurlous comments and suggestions on the negro situation and Its solution. No question Is ever settled until It la settled right. This Is no time for patching up the situation, but let us go to work as a people and settle It. Southern men nave always been the champions of womanhood; shall we falter now? The negro Is here and filled with beastly Instincts, afraid of punishment but willing to run the risk. The majesty of the law and the ven geance of the mob have failed alike. A large per cent of the negroes are a worthless burden on the country. Let us unite and get rid of all of the wor’h- less negroes and our women will then have peace. How can we do It? I answer easily enough. Tho worthless negro owns no property, has nothing to tie him here, so let's get rid of him by not feed ing him any longer, but always en couraging him to go north, where they have but few negroen. Why employ a worthless negro? You get no satisfaction out of your bnrgaln. If tbe people will form a society and every man obligate himself to never employ a negro except one of knowr honesty and character and only era ploy them on condition that they never mix with worthless negroes, then we would force them to be some account or get out of tho country. Of course we would furnish them the means of leaving at all times. I nominate the Hon. John Temple Graven ar grand master of the Knights of Southern AA'omnnhood. Such order not to be a lawless clan, but to be a body of knights to defend our women nnd also tho law, every white man of good character to be a member.

To the Editor of The Georgian: You may rest assured that the great masses of the white people of this country, and especially of this South land, are with you In regard to tho so lution of the race problem, and when some Moses rises up to lend them, as did the Hon. Hoke Smith on the freight nnd passenger rate and disfranchise ment questions, It will be seen how tho people stand as against a few arrogant To the Editor of T h ® Georgian: On looking over my paper tonight, to my surprise, I noticed a kick on the negro as to being In the way of the whites on the street cars. Now, let me ask you. Isn't there some way that we can get rid of the negro on the street cars with whites? I think so. Say, let the street railway of the city of Atlanta do as some ot the cities that I know of In the West—put on what tbay call trailers, and have them To the Editor of The Georgian: I see that the president wants to chang the way of spellln.

And right here I wish to ask. can any country be prosperous where cheap labor Is universally employed? Does cheap labor help to put money In cir culation among our business men who are the patrons ot our manufactories? Any Intelligent man would answer no. As an example, take our cities thnt are dependent almost exclusively upon poorly paid cotton milt help and com pare them with dtloa that have ma chine shops and foundries, where de cent wages are paid for labor, and note the difference In prosperity. No, Mr. Editor, the negro Is not here to stay; the time will come when all America will wake 'up on this great S uction and will deport him as they Id the Indian. Let's disagree with Mr. Bryan In part, and retain the Philippine Ielands. AVe may need them in the future as a home for at least a part of the negroes of the United States. And we can hire ehlps to take them there cheaper than we can hire a sufficient number of police to keep them In order here among the Caucasian race. But let's keep them In their place white they do stay. JOHN AV. ROAVE. 101 AA'ost Fourth street, Atlanta, aa. Be Always Chivalrous. To the Editor of The Georgian: Some time since It wns my pleasure to take a trip through the North. Trav eling with me was another young man, a Southerner like myself. As you, of course, knew, men In the North are not vested with that same spirit of polite ness toward ladles ae are the met? of the Southland. The point that I am about to come to Is Just this: Should Southerners who go North adopt the customs of the Northerners while In the North? Should true Southerners keep their seats on street care while ladles stand, and fall to remove their hats on elevators In tbe presence of la dles Just because that Is the custom In the North? I ask for an answei to this as my Southern friend Is of the opinion that while you are In the North you should do as the Northerners do. If yon are a Southerner should you not be a Southerner both North nnd South? Will appreciate an answer. Yours truly. • F. B. L. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 14, 1906. Has the Right Ring.

You seldom hear of the farm negro commit ting rape. The negro has no business In town. Instead of sending him to the city prison why not force him to go Into the country and work for some farmer who needs hls labor. Much valuable land Is being turned out ev ery year by Houthern farmers, while Idle, worthless negroes tramp the streets of cities and towns, stealing for a living and commltlng outrages on while women for a pastime. I say: Away with all education for the negro except that which will make a good farmer ot him. Another thing that contributes to make the negro worthless Is the num ber of lodge houses they have. By the side of every negro church or school house Is a negro lodge house. The members of this secret order, whatever It Is, are Invariably worthless. I say, do away with them. Respectfully, JOHN ANDY SMITH. Bowman, Ga, Aug. II, 1996. THE TREATMENT OF 08B0RNE. To the Editor of The Georgian; Speaking tor the amalgamated wood workers, I desire to voice their protect against the action nt Mayor Woodward In refusing Mr. J. B. Osborne a permit to speak on the streets of this city. We may not agree with hls. politics, but as working men we believe In free speech and a fair deal. At a recent meeting the men In two of the large shops In this city Indorsed the following senti ments, and ordered the secretary to Incorporate them In an open letter to Mayor Woodward: "This Is to notify you that we. the amalgamated woodworkers of this city, that helped to vote you Into office you now hold, are In favor of free speech. You allow Mormona to speak on th»j streets; why not all? And tve now promise you that we shall protest against all men and all parties thnt help suppress peaceful assemblies given by the fourth amendment to the constitution of the United States." It was not so many years ngo thnt the union man who undertook to speak for better wages and fair conditions re ceived about the same treatment that Is accprded Osborne. The crowds who gather about Mr. Osborne are In no sense disorderly; hls speeches arc as free from treason, or any other un wholesomeness, as are the sermons (if the various preachers of the day. Any way, the workers of our craft believe public sentiment should rebuke the action of the mayor. Yours, ALVAH W. YORK. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31, 1906. A HEARTFELT APPROVAL. To the Editor of The Georgian: God bless you for your noble stand in behalf of Southern womanhood. The time has come for speaking out, and let us do so. The time has come for ac tion. Let us act with soberness, but with a tremendous determination. Yours, for white supremacy nnd the Anglo-Saxon. w. O. BUTLER. ; Chlrkamaugn, Ga.
