A word about t'. > Hampton letter and other
things. |
Now SOUTHERN CHIVALRY prevents us
saying a word to th. discredit of the lady in
questiv-. o fact we dont know her, never
knew her before, and neither did *‘Colonel”
J. K. Forrestsr manager of the Ga Cotton
©il v. 0., and the Jee Factory at Albany.
We say the lady was all she claims that we
have nothirg to say about her at ail, We
¢an_p-y her higher tribute tan she herself
with womanly modesty asserts, and still ask
a few questioss about that |:tter,
First—Was not' this letter exhibited on
en the straets of Lessburg before it was in
Albany, Who sentit here, ten miles off?
Second
Has it not been TOLD ZLL OVER LEE
COUNTY that the lady in question w.s
turned out that her lob might be given to
ome Wm, H, Taylor,(sce Nigger Photo gal
lery.) Mr. Howell Clainzs these are true
cuples of the records, If this Is so then, ac
cording to the Photo Galiery, Taylor (CAr,
Howelldon’t claiys that S.iith APPOINTED
in the circular,) Was PROMOTED sajs Hlr,
HOWELL SEPT, 13 1908. He further
€harges that a white lady was reduced to
promote him, Some are TELLING in LEE,
Mr, HOWELL that Mrs Hampton |- the lady ;
SAK SAYS IN HER LETTER TO COL., FOR-!
RESTER, THAT SHE WAS GIVE) HER
DISMISSAL in DECEMBER. Your folks are
speaking from records let them reconcile the |
eates. Tayler had gotten his rise you say
in Sept,
Mrs. Hamptons job ended in l)cem.v.her‘
by dismissal ‘‘As4 she says from the cause
that, Her dismissal read that the ‘‘WORK
WAS DRAWING TO A CLOSE,
She says in Decel ber was she discharged., .
The clrcular of the nigrers, and tue ladys’ '
statement don’t agree, We wre obliged to !
te2 lady. Southern Chivalry Cowmand it, |
Dow this s the spiel over Lee that
Mrs, Hampton was disciargsd o let
Taylor get her place, Mrs. H&MPTON says
that she NEVER wa in 8 CLERICAL HO
LITION atall, She was a skalled laborer,
folded papers, pamphlets &, ntie J. R,
Forrestor iedter, Jt what 18 LEING TOLD
is «cgument Mr, Howell your CIRCULAR
dow't WITH IT. They say Mrs. Hampton
was reduced to promote him the nigger.
Your circulars say a ‘"Noble wiite wo
man was rednced”’ from 4900 to fovy that
the Nigger Taylor might get tae $9OO,
Mrs, ciampton sass that she .nly re- ’
Cived & pusition at $5O a 3 month i her l

SOUITHEKRN CHIVALKY tukes the ladys
word,
Oh well, its a whole pack eof folly any
way. All anybody wants to disprove the
Regro clreulir 15 W compare it with Mrs,
Hampton's letter with itand then take he
way it is teld in Lee that Mrs, Hampton the
Noble white lady, was redquced lrom $9OO to
8099 te give her place o Taylor, Itis the
first Nigger Circular Picture, Taylors bi
ography 1s the sixth spi.l, and is the Centre
colvian of the circular un the pheto sallery

Boys iust get off to your sel.2s and read
the ladys letters closely. Have the pictures
at hand too, Don’t count the pictures but
count the whole jist of the names. Take
out all that Clark claims Hoke appointed
when he i 3 pinned to brass tacks by the rec
ords. Notethe fact that he says Negroes
‘that drew fat salaries under Hoke Smith
'when Georgia People were making cotton at
four cents. He don’t say that they were
not there bifore, or that Hoke Smith ap
pointed many. Rezd cach mans name as
usted separately, Remember that §5O in
Washington is about eqgual to a common
wage hands pay in Lez2 County, because It
takes more to pay house rent, fire wood, and
living is higher. Remember that most ot
these NIGGERS were porters as their pay
showa, or he would have told you difierent.
(and he put it in small type too) and you
will see that Mr. Clark Howell could not
tuol Hoke into signing a paper that gave
nimself toe he {For, h: had said all over
Gaorgia that they need Nigger spittoon clean
ers and portees, And taere were 14000

pointees and all the teamsters and spittoon
