WAYCROSS FIRST TO HOVE. A Convention of Representative Colored Citizens. THEY DENOUNCE OUTRAGE AND PASS RESOLUTIONS. A meeting of the preachers and rep resentative colored men of Waycross and vicinity was held at the Hazzard Hill Methodist church on Thursday night last. The writer was invited to be pres ent but was unavoidably prevented on account of sickness. Elder Watts was elected chairman and G. H. Bowen secretary. The speeches are said to have been on the right line. A committee composed of the follow ing was appointed to draw up resolu tions: Dr. G. P. Washington, G. H. Bowen, Rev. D. W. Moore, S. M. Scar lett, and Rev. Allen. The resolutions are as follows: Whereas, We, the colored citizens of Way- cross, Ware county, and state of Georgia, in public meeting assembled, to consider a very serious qnestion as to the crime of rape, which is being so frequently committed by certain unprincipled element of our race, and of the consequent lynchings and crema tions upon the victims, and Whereas, This state of things has become se prevalent and deplorable, and Whereas, We believe that it is very expe dient that some action be taken to suppress the crime, and if possible to put a stop to lawless mobs. Therefore be it Resolved, That it is the sense of this meet ing that these ends can best be obtained by united effort on the part of all the leading and influential men of the race; and be it further Resolved. That there be held for this pur pose a public and representative meeting in the city of Macon, Ga„ early in October this year, the date to be hereafter given through the press of the state, there to consider and devise the plans for the accomplishment of the object set forth in these resolutions. A circular inviting the people to at tend the meeting at Macon, Ga., will be sent to the leading colored people of the state at on^e. We are glad that the colored citizens of Waycross have been first to move in this matter, and it places them on high ground. The Herald promises to do all in its power to assist in bringing about a much needed reform, and is indeed proud to know that the initiative steps have been taken in this city. The col ored citizens who conceived the idea of the meeting and participated in its deliberations, stated, as we learn, that the first move to be made by the leaders of the colored race should be to suppress crime and outrage. Such being the case these men deserve commendation, praise and assistance. The Herald makes no secret of its position in regard to lynching. We believe that any man, white or black, who violates the chastity of woman should be hung to the nearest tree and shot so full of holes that his hide would’nt hold shucks. And we take this position because we believe it is the most effectual remedy for the prevention of this growing evil, and because we know that the brute, be he white or black, who would commit the crime ot rape, is beyond the pale of civilization, is an outlaw and a savage, is simply in the category with mad dogs and wild animals, he deserves no consideration from society, and should be dealt with accordingly. And now a few words to our colored friends, in all kindness and for their good and for the good of all: The recent frequent outrages in the South, commit ted principally by negroes upon white women, has maddened the people and widened Jthe breach between the two races to an alarming extent The best men and the leading papers in the land, not only fail to denounce lynching but in certain cases, encourage and endorse it. Can our colored friends not see where all this is leading, and where it will end, if the trouble is not speedily checked? Surely it is plain enough. The good will eventually suffer for the wicked, the just for the depraved. While this state of affairs would be deplorable it is nev ertheless inevitable under the existing state of affairs. The supremacy of the white race {in this country for all time to come is un questioned and unquestionable. He will make the laws and he will control society. The negro can only hope for and expect justice. Social equality can not be thought of or spoken of. It will never come any nearer than it is to-day. The business of the country will be done by the dominant race and they will control its destinies in every particular. As the years roll by the colored race can only hope for prosperity and * happiness by securing the confidence and respect of the white man. That the position of the negro for all time to come will be that of a hewer of wood and drawer of water” who can doubt that he reads the mandate of Almighty God plainly set forth in his Holy word ? To some extent the welfare and well being of the two races in the South de pends upon each other, but the colored race is altogether dependent. The writer was one of the first in South Georgia to advocate the education of the negro after the war, and to insist upon an attempt to improve the females of the race morrally. We have spoken to them plainly and for their best inter est in the past and we have a right to tell them now that they occupy very precarious grounds. The intelligent ones among them understand the situa tion, others probably, do not. And now in regard to the matter of lynching. When the cause is removed the effect will cease and not till then. It is vain to protest against lynching and not try to prevent outrage. One is the natural sequence of the other and will continue to be. The people are a unit on this line. There is but one course for the good negroes of the South. They must go to work to prevent outrages, then and only then, can they hope for a cessation of lynchings. The Herald will render all the as sistance in its power To bring about this much to be desired result. Constipation and sick headache per manently cured and piles prevented by Japanese Liver Pellets; especially adap ted to children’s use. Sold by B. J. Smith. Waresboro’s Weekly Bndget.

Kan,, Aug. 5—In a con versation to-day on the financial sit uation ex-Senator Ingalls said: ‘This day is balmy and sunshiny in comparison with the clouds and storms just ahead of us. The ultimate re sult will be re-distribution of the as sets of the country. The millionaire of to-day will occupy the pauper hut, and the pauper in the near future will ride in the chariot of the million aire. Colorado and the other mineral states should be blotted out as states and added to the great American desert from which they were taken. The devastation of the yellow fe ver in the South was not * so disas trous as the situation in Colorado produced by the closing of the mines. Thousands of people are walking the streets of Denver. Like the lowly Nazarine, foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Colora do tramp hath not where to lay his head. On every street corner in Denver goes up the piteous cry for bread. In Wall street the piteous cry goes up for gold. When these two panicky conditions come together in the great Mississippi valley, chaos and anarchy will follow.” B. J.

John Connell, the man. who killed negro near Quitman last week, has left for part3 unknown, and the Sheriff of Brooks county would give a good deal to know his whereabouts. Mr. W. H. Mitchell one of the parties who went on Connell’s bond, after, finding out the crime was more serious than was at first supposed, went down to see Connell about it. It was agreed between them that Connell was to come toThomasville next Thursday, when the case would be laid before Judge Hansell. While en gaged in making this arrangement Sher iff Thrasher, of Brooks county, drove up* Mr. Mitchell went out to meet the Sher iff and told him of the arrangements he and Connell had entered into. This was not satisfactory to the Sheriff. He said he must carry Connell back with him. After talking over the matter, the Sheriff agreed that if Mitchell would surrender Connell he would not disarm him, would allow a friend to accompany him and would not put him in jail until Judge Hansell could be heard from. Mr. Mitchell agreed to this. Connell was called out and he also agreed to it. He asked the Sheriff, however, for permis sion to go back into the house and change his clothing. The Sheriff granted the request and Connell went into the house. This is the last seen of him. He is said to have gone through the house, mounted his horse and left for parts un known. DR. G. P.
