A PROMINENT EAPTIST DIVINE
CALLS DOWN THAT
DIRTY CIRCULAR.
Rev. U E. Barton, of the First Bap
tist church of Quitman, hat entered
a ringing protest against the recent
•circular issued by the Hoke Smith
Club of Brooks county, In wbtcb a full
story of the recent “Social Equality
Dinner" In New York was described,
together with comment upon It by
Senator Tiilman and Governor Swan
son. The intimation with the circu
lar was that Joseph M. Drown approv
ed the dinner and were favorable to
“social equality." The Joo Brown
Club at Quitman urged the withdraw'
al of the circular, but the Hoke Smith
Club refused to do so.
A copy of the circular was sent to
Governor Smith and his campaign
manager replied that
foverncr had seen (he circular and
approved it—not only approved
• but would uae It In some other coun
ties In toe state." Rev. Mr. Barton
Is a prominent prohibitionist ami
Inclined to lloke Smith until this cir
cular was ijs.tcd. The following is
bis | roteat against It iu the hut issue

being sent broadcast over our Com
munity and county. 1 care not what

It Is, In my Judgement, an appeal to

ful degree. The reporting of that
Indecent banquet In New York where
a number of negropulllata of the
white race and a party of lionized and
big beaded individuals of the colored
race came together and indulged In
taoseating chat about "social equali
ty,' ’intermarriage" and such like talk
will serve only to fire and feed the
baa# passions of the criminal negro
and excite the prejudices of the whltea
against the weaker race. Such lit*
erture Is as dangerous as fire about
gun powder. This banquet, with all
Its unseemly veporinge. would never
have been beard of by three netroes
out of a thousand in Brooks county,
but for this circular and the anony
mous gentlemen who are distributing
the same.
“Social Equality" Is taboed by our
southern civilisation and ninety-nine
southern men out of each hundred

bloodiest war In all history before they
