election go to the devil. And this
is the spirit that fills the hearts
of fathers and husbands and the
brothers in tho whole South. Our
women must and will be protect-
ed to long as life lasts. Lynch

and murder of untold thousands
of white women in the south ana

vented it When the,crime is
proven, be., the criminal white ’or
black, the writer is in favor of

hung with all the honors of war

goes straight to heaven from the

which some of those who witness
tile scene will afterwards emu

gests that lyuchings are demoral
izing to those engaged In them.
This is-doubtless true, but arc
wo to blame for the existing con
ditions? The circumstances
Which surround us are not of our
choosing but have been forced
upon us, aud it -it our opinion
.that every respectable southern
citizen is trying to do the best be
can to make an honest living; to
preserve his manhood and to pro-
tect those whose honor and wel
fare ho prizes more thau life. No
matter what the papers say, or
do not say, lynohings for the
crime of outrage, will continue,
north, east, west and south. This
being a fact,would it not be bet
ter for some of these- leading
journals who are now publishing
lengthy articles against lynching,
to elate,the case as it. stands.
Protest agaimt lynching if you
please, but let the criminal por
tion of our population uuderstund
the truth, which.is that they will
be tiung higher than Unman if
they lay their vile hands with cri
minal intent upon our loved one
Let it be understood that lynch-
ings will stop when theravuning
of our women stops and not be
fore, for before Almighty God
this is the truth if the United
