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 cl the Quitman Free Press. Re*. Mr, Barton's Protest. "Net In t.-ie Interest of any f iber natorlul candidate, but In the inter est of the white and' bluek races o! the South uml especially In the Inter est of our defenseless wives ami daughters. 1 desire to utter a digni fied, kindly, dispassionate, conserva-, live proteat against an anonymous circular entitled, “To the White Voi- trs cf Brooks County," which is now being sent broadcast over our Com munity and county. 1 care not what one's affiliation Is In the present cam paign this circular Is not the kind of literature that should be distributed It Is, In my Judgement, an appeal to jmsalon and. Is incendiary to a fear 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 would lean to arma at once for the bloodiest war In all history before they woulo submit to such a thing.
