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.

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.
