If one white woman in the South can b? saved from outrage by negro brutes by lynchtugs we are in favor of saving the white womau and Jetting the national 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 iug has prevented the outrage and murder of untold thousands of white women in the south ana it is the only thing that has pre vented it When the,crime is proven, be., the criminal white ’or black, the writer is in favor of hanging him to the nearest tree. There will be no more ravjsbing of 12 year old girls in that neigh borhood soon. The brute, be he white or black, who ravishes and kills a child or woman, most of and one was so badly damaged'' them seei » to be after the chil dren, is in our opinion, outside that she sunk at ouce.

St. Louis, Aug. 24 —A tele gram from Renfoo,Okla , reports that the st' vy that Alveander Jester died there after maktfig s confession that ho killed Gilbert Gates in 1871. is uutrue. Jester is alive and well and says he did not marder Gates and never con fessed the mnrder. gladly adopt it. Tito, negro ’ar rested for outrage, kept in jail, tried by jury and sentenced to bo hung with all the honors of war and the law, becomes a hero and goes straight to heaven from the gallows, thus setting un example which some of those who witness tile scene will afterwards emu late. Oue of our big dailies sug 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 Statds never has another presi dent. - |-| qShort News Items from The Eve- Ev’ryday we wonder What to-morrow brings; Ev’ry day wo blunder As we touch tlie strings Of the lyro using The melody of Fate, While we are refusing To labor and to wait Messers.
