ENOUGH OF THIS.
The Rape Fiend has Reached the End
of his Roue.
The argument used by some
worthless vagabonds in this section
that the “white men feared to
molest them on the eve of the pres
idential election, as the authorities
at Washington would avenge any
insult or injury to a colored man,”
is perhaps the cause of the recent
frequent midnight depredations of
strolling negro vagabonds with rape
and burglary intents, over in Ber
rien and other counties. These
sons of satan do not know that they
are standing over a smoldering vol
cano as it were, that may explode
at any time.
The tension of public indignation
has been stretched to well nigh its
utmost bounds, and if the fre
quency of these negroes visits to
white ladies’ rooms with evil intent
does not stop the citizens of Geor
gia will organize and like a tidal
wave sweep tjie vagabond wretches
from the land. None will be left
to tell the tale except the ones in
each locality known to have been
raised here and who is known to be
a help to the country, and not a
lawless prowler.
This ha* been done in the West,
and it will be done in the South.
In one of the counties in a Western
State a negro raped a poor, but
respectable white girl, which so en
raged the white men of the county
that they formed an organization
, and swept every dusky scoundrel
Irons the county and will not allow
one of them, or any other negroes
to cross the border line to re-enter.
The negro and the friend of the
negro may raad this article with
derision, depending upon their im
portance to the federal government
for protection, but the federal
, goverment is powerless in the mat
ter. The entire United States army
encamped in Georgia will not, can
not stop the deadly hand of revenge
if these raping C'asuulties do not
cease, and it willlbe a good idea for
those who read tlii* warning to the
negro to tell them so.' If saw
mills and turpentine men want
labor from the negro, let them warn
him that certain death and final ex
termination for him and his race
awaits the commission ot further
lets of rape and violence. The
>ress of Georgia would do well to.
ound this note of warning. Wft
now what we are talking about,’
nd when the movement is started
1 one county it will catch out like
•e in a sedge field, and clean out
e whole businss.
FOR PROTECTION OF WOMEN.
'Ath will be the Peanlty for Attempt
ed Assault upon Women In
, Georgia.
s
at has been suggested to Gover
or Candler, and it is believed by
many that he will adopt the sug
gestion, that he recommend to the
legislature to make the punishment
for attempting an assult the same
as the punishment for assault.
It is thought that this will have a
tendency to stop the evil which has
been general in the southern states
fortseveral years. It is said the gov
ernor thinks the suggestion a wise
one.
The punishment for an assault
for the crime of criminal assault is
death, and if the same punishment
was meted out to those who attempt
it, so it is claimed, the crime would
not be so common.
Every year there are a number of
negroes tried for an attempt to as
sault. and they generally get off
with light sentences. It is believed
if such a law were recommended to
the general assembly that it would
pass without any trouble. Such a
law would relieve a great many
people of the embarrassment of
testifying in court, as it would be
necessary then only to prove the
attempt, whether the actual crime
was committed or not.
It is nof thought that such a law
would be unconstitutional, and il
niav be that the governor will re
commend it.—Atlanta Daily News.
