NEWS N0TE8 FROM NAYLOR.
THE NEGRO SAY8
.OUGHT TO BE PRAYING.
He 8ays that Rawlings Will Have to
Tell the Whole Truth Before
Prayer Will do Him any Good—
He Sticks to the Original Story
and Declares That There is no
Blood on his Hands.
Alf Moore, the negro who was con
victed of being an accomplice In the
imirder of the Carter children, and
who waa aentenced to hang with
them, this morning sent for a report
er of The Times to come to the_
county Jail, as he had something
which he wished to say
When the reporter approached the
cell in which the negro was confined
and called Alf, the darkey walked up.
to the iron bars and looked through,
wondering what was wanted with
biin.
When the reporter told him that
Ho came in response to a message
from him, the negro lowered his
head a little and said:
“Oh, yes. hut you got me when I
wab’nt thinking, i'll have Jo get my
mind together, so I can sorter speci
fy what I wanted to say."
“You wanted to say something
about the Carter killing—do you
want to change the statement you
uiadu some time ago?”
“Oh. no, I don't want to change
anything, ’cause there uin’tanything
v.o change. I have told the truth
and, of course, there is no reason
why it should be changed. A man
who is going to die, hasn't got time
In be fixing up any tales but
tiuth."
“You know Mr. Rawlings • says
that you will change when they put
the rope around your neck."
“I feel sorry for Mr. Rnwilngs and
boys,” continue^ the negro, “and
1 am specially sorry for them hoys,
tt won’t do that old man aDy good
to set up there and wait to see what
1 am going to say. What he ought
to do is to get himself right. He
ought to piay, but you know praying
ain’t going to do him any good un-
jVss ho tells the truth. He must
first throw off the burden and get
himself straight with God. Then he
can look up and ask forgiveness and

What the Negro Needs.
EDITOR TIMES:
Allow me to speak a few words
through your paper.
The shortness, misapprehension,
dullness, stupidity and incompetency
of my people, are due to the
lack of proper training. I etao sh
mean that they have not been
taught or trained in books. I do not
mean that. No! No! I don’t mean
that they have not been a pro
cess of book training. I mean
industrial training. The negro needs
educating. His head, heart and
hands. A prepared brain will show
how to think, and what to think
about. Prepared hands how to per
form those things which are neces
sary to be performed; the heart to
obey, first, our Heavenly Father and. the

train yards apparently busy with his
business and paying little attention
to the negroes, but each time get

them to fall In line, which they did.
Then he started to drill them to the

however, one of the negroes en

two ran. ■
He captured the one he was fight
ing and carried him to Jasper for
confinement in Jail.
The negro wore a suit of clothing
which is said to have been stolen
from Shivers' store. The darkey al
so told him where the rest of the
stolen goods had been secreted.
