THE AMERICTS AFFAIR.
The whole of Georgia shudders at
^he brutality displayed in Americus
Saturday nigfht, when a negr 0 was
string to a telephone pole in the
glare of the electric lights of the
city and his body literally riddled
to pieces with shots from many re
volvers. The negro had co nmitted
a crime when he shot the chief ofjtli
police of Americus. He did the act j o’clocfc
while the chief was attempting to
arrest the negro and it was without
excuse. He was taken to jail and
locked within the iron barred doors
of the county prison. The mob
broke down the doors, hauled the
negro forth and after hanging and
shooting him. cut down the body and
set it afire on the pavements of that
fair South Georgia city.
The men who perpetrated this
thing were without masks. They
made no attempt to hide their iden
tity. It was done in the full glare
of the electric lights, but around
those citizens of that town there
flared the more lurid glow of inflam
ed passion which caused one of the
moot horrible affairs In the history
of that community.
The city of 'Americus is. however,
not unlike any other community, no
matter whether it be North or
South. The passions of an inflamed
mob are no more the normal condi
tion of a community than the raving
of a lunatic are the semblance of
the acts of the same party during
sanity. It is a condition which
6honld be guarded against at all
times in all communities, and the
carrying of pistols In the pockets of,
both white and colored people is the
prime agency ef its inception in nine
out of ten cases. Stop this habit j
and the cause for the mob spirit ;
will have been abated to a marked
degree.
We sympathize with Americus in
its awakening to the extent of the
