When a negro begins to think about
•octal equality In the South, It la time
for bin to emirate. When be lays
bis band on a white woman It Is time
to pray.
It la suite evident that Mr. Howell
and the Constitution do not want It un
dcrstood that they ere under any
obligations to the railroad Interests
of the State.
Mayor Hopkins who has made a
most efflcent Mayor for Brunswick,
declines to be a candidate for another
term. He could have been reelected
without opposition.
John Temple Graves sticks to It
that the separation of whites and
Macks Is the only solution of the race
question and we are decidedly of the
opinion that be la correct.
The list of negroes actually killed
on the spot In the Atlanta riot will
probably reach twenty. There are
a number wounded who will probably
die. The total list may reach SO.

JUDGE LYNCH.
If lynch Uw were a cnre for the
crimes In punishment for which It la
moat frequently resorted to, those
crimes would hare long ago been wip
ed out of existence. But statistics
show that lynching la not a specific.
Indeed, the crimes as well ss
lyncblngs are more numerous than
formerly. It Is estimated that there
bare not been less than 4 000 lynch-
Inga In this county In the past twen
ty-live years. And It appears that,
since the Atlanta aSalr, Georgia bolds
an unenviable position as a lynching
state.—Ex
It la Indeed true that lynching has
not entirely stopped the outraging of
white women by negroes, but It baa
saved thousands from a terrible fate.
The fear of being strung updo a limb
and shot Into doU rags has prevented
outrage, and It has been a noticeable
fact that In the locality where lynch
ing has been pulled off, the crime of
rape rarely ever occurs again. The
Incarceration, trial and hanging of a
negro by the' slow process of Uw
sends the criminal to paradise from
the scaffold, transforms, him Into a
hero, and makes others willing to em
ulate hU example. Lynching la bru-
Ul, horrible, demoralising, but It la a
burden which baa been placed upon
the white man of tbe South, and It Is
the only remedy for outrage.
It will go on as occasion requires,
They will lynch ’em when they catch
’em and they’ll catch ’em every time.

NO TIDAL WAVE AT NEW DR-
LEANS.
New York, S«pt. 27.—A rumor that
a tidal wave had struck New Orleans
and caused gre»t loos to property*
reached Wall Street this mornlag at
10:40. A little later a contradiction
of the rumor was received. The lat*
er telegram stated that New Orleans
had suffered no serious damage,
though trouble had resulted from high
water due to the prevailing south*
east winds on the Gulf.
The wind and rain caused consider
able damage to telegraph lines and
for some time today the wire com
munications with New Orleans were
seriously interrupted. The two facts
are supposed to have been the basis
for the tidal wave rumors.
NEGRO PIGMY ATTACKS KEEPER.
New Yor, Sept. 26..—Otto Benga,
the African pigmy, who has been ex

garden for some time past, tried to
kill a keeper yesterday with a knife.
He fought furiously before being dis
armed. Benga's anger was caused by
the keeper turning a hose on him.
Benga has been exhibited In the
monkey cage. He has attracted wide
attention because of the protest of
several negro societies because of the
exhibition.

Savannah, Ga., Sept. 27.—It has
been practically decided to rebuild
the Savannah Theatre which was
burned several days ago with little
or no change from the old plan. When
tbe building burned tbe walls were
left practically intact. This decision
ha* been anything but a popular one
as t&e'theatre with a little, remodeling
was the same as built in 1913, It hav
ing been the second oldest theatre la
the United State*. It was therefore
hoped that the company which owned
the building would decide to take the
opportunity of building a modern
edifice upon the old site. On account
of the decision to utilize tbe walls
of the old building In rebuilding the
theatre it Is said that the work of
re-coustructlon will be completed by
December 4*t. The plays are now
showing at the small Theatre at the
Casino at Thunderbolt three mile*

NEGROES IMPERIL THEIR RACE.
(From The Richmond. (Va..) Tlmei
Dispatch.)
But what force can preaching have.
In the face of such outrages as have
benn committed In and around At
lanta? The negroes seem to be mov
ed by the spirit ot radii hatred, and
have rented their wrath upon in*
nocent and defenseless white women.
They have set the law at deSance.
How then can they Invoke the prateo
tton ot the taw? They have acted
like eo many wild beasts at large.
How, then, can they hope to be treated
as human beings? They have them
selves declared war on the women,
and when the Anglo-Saxon goes to
war lo defense of bis home and fire
side, he knows' no law save the law ot
vengeance—an eye tor an eye aad a
tooth for a tooth.
Tho negroee are bringing this van-
trounce ut-on thlr own heads, and we

paly will lynching continue, hot 'the
rery existence of the negro race will
be In Jeopardy.

Mlse Brereton. who was an orphan

ONE WAY TO SNUFF THEM OUT.
Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 1(7.—News
came from Rocky Mount yesterday
that four negroee had been killed In
that town. The murderers were
negro gamblers and when the negroee
who owed the gambling debts failed
to pay up after receiving their cheeke
from the fialfoad /they were (hot
down.
Names of the negroes could not be
learned, only the general details. It
seems that thero were several negroes
among the gamblers who were more
expert than the balance ot them end
ell who faced them got la debt They
agreed, oo It le laid, to i&y up when
pay day came. On Monday afternoon
they received their pay and It wax
n sad day for them that they had any
money coming to them. The gamblers
made their demand for the money due
on the gambling debt and when no
money was forthcoming took a life In
stead. Three lives were anuged out
early Monday night and one early
yesterday morning. It la the opinion
that South Carolina negroes did the
