We would like to call the at¬
tention of our readers again to
the fact that H uu, S. G. McLen¬
don is the Democratic nominee
for . „ Railroad ^ Commissiormr,
and j
thn,L„j C. Crenshaw IS au 1NDE- •

the primary is going to support
the Democratic nominee. We
don’t like these independents
while the negro has the power to
vote.
Atlanta’s Disturbance.
Our readers will expect some ex¬
pression from tlie Advocate-Democrat
on the disturbance that Atlanta has
recently had with mobs and negroes.
As these lines are written all seems at
peace, and we trust there will be no
further disturbance, but events that
have transpired there since Saturday
afternoon have been enough to arouse
the shame and indignation of every
citizen of Georgia.
The real cause of the mob was un¬
doubtedly the repeated crimes by ne
uroes upon the white women of Atlan¬
ta and vicinity. We, together with ev¬
ery good citizen of the state, are
heartily opposed to mob law, but we
are more heartily opposed to the ter¬
rible crime that gives ocoosion for the
mob to do its awful work.
But back of the crime and back of
tin' mob is another cause. The stuff
that is sold in the bar-rooms of the
cities and towns of the state and coun¬
try is at the bottom of both crime and
lawless mob—that is, such a mob as
Atlanta had Saturday night, which
kills the innocent and guilty alike.
Tlie ordinary mob is simply moved by
a determination to put a stop to the
crime that is becoming so common in
some sect ions, and often some of the
best and mos; sober citizens of the
community are in it, but a r.i >b like
that in Atlanta . -atuiday nig it is con¬
demned by cv -ry sober, rig ’.-think¬
ing man. There can he no doubt that
liquor was one of the moving principles
in exciting tlr > unruly mob At first
it was only a small crowd that seemed
io be bent twi fun. until a crowd of
drink-excited im n and boys joined it
then its fury grew until there was no
reasoning with it nor controlling it.
Wight here we wish to say tuat as i:
was found very expedient to close al!
sti’h slvops in a time like this we thi
it nothing hut the moral duty of the
state to put out of existence forever
these dens of corruption and vice.
And we hereby putourselves on record
that we will do whatever lies in our
power to bring this to pass. Stop the
entire sale of intoxicating liquors as
a beverage and three fourths of the
crimes of every description will be
stopped.
There is another thing that appeals
to us as one of the causes of the
bestiality and crime of the negro brutes
who commit these outrages. There
are some wnite men—to their shame
be it said—who themselves live as low
as brutes every day. These beastly
lives are lived in association with ne¬
groes, who cannot but know their char¬
acter. Some of these white men move
in the highest society, and whether
their real lives arc known or not—and
they are known—they neverthe
enjoy the privilege of holding po
of distinction and even of re
among the white citizens, male
female, of their communities!
dares dares call call e^odcty, himself himself V a a tdon gentleman gentleman the man that that who
will stoop to such a life! And yet
some of these same men will be louder
t urn many others in denouncing and
wreaking vengeance upon a negro who
commits one of these crimes. We say
tliat a negro who is guilty of the un¬
speakable crime lias no right to live in
a civilized country, but we would not
shield the white man, simply because
he is white, who is but little better.
The more is the shame because he is
while.
But whatever the cause or the ex¬
cuse, the white people of Georgia are
determined to put a stop to tlie crimes
committed by negroes. If the crimes
cease there will be no need of force,
but until the crime ceases there will
be violence and vengeance. A tnolg
however well organized, is a thing to
be deplored, but as we said before, the
crime that calls it forth is ten times
more deplorable.
To this end we call upon the better
element among the negroes, as many
of the daily papers have done, to use
all the influence in their power to put
a stop to this crime. Preach it, teach
it, talk it, live it! You have more in¬
fluence with your own race than any
white man has; use that i iflueuce for
the putting down of crime, and by
this means more than any other you
iany uplift your race.
As long as the negro conducts him¬
self in an orderly way the white man
is his friend, and the white man of the
South is the best friend lie lias ever
had. But as soon as he commits one
of these crimes the white man is the
enemy of the criminal, and a worse
enemy he cannot.have. None but tlie
guilty sHOt’i.n suffer, but the experi
cue with the Atlanta mob shows
win \ the er’ ne In conies so frequent
; he whole raec w l be held respon
-il>l So it is to i ie interest of every
negro to do his utmost to suppress the
crime.
There have been no such crimes by
negroes upon white women in Talia¬
ferro county mat we are oware of. and
we are proud of it. We know tint the
better . letneut of the negroes are also
proud of it. And we are going to look
to them to see that no such crime is
1 nmitted in the future So long
co as
there is none, and the negro conducts
himself in an orderly way he will have
the friendship of the white citizens of
the county. We trust there will noth¬
ing happen to change this friendship
to enmity and to terrible wrath.

The Orphan’s Home at Decatur
readies babies, cripples, morally des¬
titute children from all over North
Georgia and it does this without refer¬
ence to denomination. They try to
find those whom no one else wants.
Many mountain children have been
saved from degradation. One White
county boy was the most/helpless crip¬
ple and was bogging to support a moth¬
er who was afterward pit in the chain
gang. Today his limbs are straight,
nis moral character hasbeen changed
and he bids fair to be auseful man. It
is so wise to have such at institution.
