Tbe Atlanta Constitution is a
little wobbly on the subject of
lvuching negroes here of late.
The fact that many Filipinos |
are killed and few are taken cap
tives hes lead to suspicions that
our soldiers are killing all they
come upon. The truth :s, prob
ably, the dead ones are the only
ones our soldiers can catch.
Henry George’s followers in
New York celebrated the birthday
of Thomas Jefferson at a big din
ner and with many speeches. This
is a free country, but it looks as
if there should be some way to
limit libels upon our dead states
men.
The Atlanta Journal scored a
great triumph in reporting tbe
Hose lynching at Newnan last
Sunday. Every feature of the aw
ful tragedy was given in detail, and
with such vividness were the pen
pictures drawn that ono could al
most see the contortions of the
negro brute, as he sizzed above the
blazing torches. The Journal is
certainly a live paper, and never
gets left.
The baptism of fire visited on
the negro rapist and murderer at
Newnan last Sunday should be a
grim warning to others of his race
that just so sure as they commit
Buch diabolical crimes as Hose
was guilty of, just so sure will
terrible vengeance overtake them.
While lynch law is, under any and
all circumstances, deplorable,
when such black brutes as Hose
invade the homes of white men
with murder and rapine in their
hearts, nothing short of burning
them at the stake is adequate pun
ishment. The process of law in
the oourts, “grinding slow but ex
ceeding fine,” is not swift enough.
Like the lightning’s stroke,
the swift messenger of fate must
overtake these brutes, and
they will either burn or swing
from a limb every time they com
mit their hellish crime. And no
amount of sophistry from the pul
pit, or edicts from the bench, or
legislation from the State Capi
tols, can stay tbe hand of ven
geance while these crimes are com
mitted. Tho only way to stop the
lynching of negroes is for the ne
gro himself to stop his crimes
against white women.
THI LYNCHING OK SAM HOSK.
The capture and summary exe
cution of Sam Hose, us horrible
as this whole story is from start
to finish, is another confirmation
of the fact that rapists canuot
commit their awful crimes i»i this
country, and escape. Whether
in Georgia or Maine the brute
that assails iu this horrible man
ner a female will find that he
will be treated as a wild and fero
cious beast. The Telegraph has
never been the advocate or the
apologist for lynch law, but in the
face of such a crime as was com
mitted Sam Hose at Palmetto
no man or men can stem the in
dignation of the people who have
the opportunity to visit summary
punishment of the most dire kind
upon the criminal.
This whole affair emphasises the
truth of the position taken iu some
words receutly addressed to a bish
op of the negro church by The Tel
egraph. Whatever faults may lie
at the door of individual white
meu, whatever may be their prej
udices or short comings, this is
their country, and they are going
to protect their homes. The al
leged race problem is the negro’s
problem —it is more theirs than
the white man’s. This fact we
have sought to impress upon the
more enlightened of the race of
negroes. It is for them to deal
with it. It is for their churches,
and conventions and congresses to
take it up, and put a check upon
the ravishers. The way to stop
. lynching* is to put a atop to the
crime which brings it on. We do
not contend that the leading ne
groes can fully accomplish it, but
they can show their good inten
tions by making a determined ef
fort. We have heard of no such
effort.
One involuntaply turns from
the sickening details as they come
from Palmetto and elsewhere, but
what is to be done about it? Will
not the leading and intelligent ne
groes of the country take hold of
these matters in the right way,
and seek a right solution. —Macon

A Card From Mr Thomai.
Auburn, Ga., April 24, '9O.
Editor News-Herald: I wish
to reply to L. F. Jackson’s base
accusations against me. He tells
my friends that the cause of my
trouble was not known by him
until recontly. In that he is just
simply mistaken. It began in
1891, and has grown from bad to
worse. It was not made known
to the world until recently, and
would neve! have been made
known had he been disposed to
do anything like the right in the
matter.
Jackson thinks, or pretends to
make others think, I don’t know
anything in regard to the case,
but I do; I’m in possession of
facts that condemn him and oth
ers. The best thing Jackson can
do is to stop his pen and hush his
mouth. He talks about “the spir
it of fraternal love.” What’s an
obligation worth to any man des
titute of principle ? He speaks of
“restoration to health,” He is in
a great degree responsible for my
present illness. He states in his
article that “the flesh says ‘ex
pose.’ ” Yes, the flesh has exposed
him. He talks about “the spirit
of right.” Do you think the spirit
of right would jail an innocent
man ? He is willing to murder
me iu character and reputation to
conceal the faults of others. He
says he hopes he will not be forced
to make matters public. What
do you think of a man that adver
tises a brother in the Lawrence
ville News-Herald and Atlanta
Constitution and accuses him of
being crazy, when there was no
cause for it ? And yet he says he
doesn’t want to make anything
public. Such is the work of hyp
ocrite. He claims that he has
done nothing but his duty. I
suppose he thinks it his duty to
destroy happiness. He has caused
my life to be wrecked, my past
experience to be sad and the fu
ture dark. Ts the good citizens
where I’ve been at work for the
last five years will say that I have
been demented all the while, then
I’ll yield; otherwise I’ll not. Dear
friend, my happiness is destroyed,
but I still have a high apprecia
tion for TRUTH, MORALITY AND
Christianity. I hope I’ll not be
forced to state anything more in
the paper, for the sake of my good
parents, brothers and sisters, who
feel so deeply the pangs of these
publications. But before I’ll do
what Jackson and some others
want me to do, I’ll stand by and
see my own grave dug, have my
head severed from my body, and
be buried by friend or foe, rather
than forsake the truth.
Respectfully,
W. H. Thomas.

Food does not taste good, and
the digestion is poor; the skin
is dry and sallow and disfigured
with pimples or eruptions;
sleep brings no rest and work

What is the cause of all this?
Impure blood.
And the remedy?
It clears out the channels
through which poisons are
carried from the body. When
all impurities are removed from
the blood nature takes right hold
and completes the cure.

Mrs. Thos. E. Watson.
An exchange publishes the fol
lowing very interesting statement
concerning Mrs. Thomas E. YY’at
son:
“Discoveries of babies amid the
scenes of war and death are by no
means uncommon. During the
American civil war a notable in
stance occurred. A baby, beauti
fully dressed, was found by the
Confederate troops in the debat
able region along the Potomac
during the heat of the strife.
There was nothing to identify the
infant, or tell the side to which
its parents had belonged. Event
ually a Confederate soldier ob
tained leave to adopt the girl—for
a girl it happened to be—and, at
the earliest opportunity, she was
sent by means of a mule trans
port corps to his wife’s home iu
Georgia. After the war, adver
tisements were inserted iu northern
and southern newspapers regard
ing the child, but nobody came
forward to claim her. She grew
up into a handsome and clever
woman, and a few years ago mar
ried Thomas E. Watson, of Geor
gia, who was the populist candi
date for the vice-presidency in the
last election. Mrs. Watson be
lieves that her parents were con
federate sympathizers and that
they perished during the war.”
“The Govenorof South Dakota,”
says the Morning News, “has now
raised a question which may give
the president some trouble. He
insists that the South Dakota vol
unteers now in the Philippines
shall be brought home. The point
he makes is s strong one. It is
that the South Dakota men enlist
ed to fight for humanity against
Spain, that the war with Spain is
ended, and that, therefore, their
obligations to the government is
fulfilled. He insists that to re
tain these imn in the service
against their will be a violation of
the law by authority’ of which
they enlisted, and is unconstitu
tional. He also condeniß the ad
ministration for carrying on a
war iu the Philippines for which
there is neither reason nor ex
cuse.”
The Brd Georgia, Col. Berner’s
regiment, paraded in Angus a the
other day and was given a great
ovation. Speaking of the line of
march, as it passed the Confeder
ate monument, the Chronicle says:
“When Col. Berner came to the
monument erected to th- 1 Confed
erate dead he saluted the marble
statues of Lee and Jackson, Cobb
and Walker, as though they were
the reviewing officers; and as each
company passed the men marched
with their pieces at ‘port arms.,
The national and regimental col
ors were dipped by tlie color ser
genuts.
“The marble features of the!
statues of the great Confederate
leaders seemed to bear a smile of
approval as the southern regi
ment, in the uniform of the army
they bad opposed, passed at their
feet.”
Elsie's Efforts.
Elsie is 8 years old and attends
No. 8 school, says the Rochester
Herald. The other day her teach
er told h> r to wite a fifteen-word
composition in which should ap

Elsie went, home that night and
managed to lie awake most of the
uight thinking of the composition
she was expected to hand into her
teacher in the morning. After
much hard work the little tot
completed the task, but only afler
a fashion. This is what she sub
mitted to her teacher when asked
for the composition:
“Jimmie is my brutlir. He ain’t

“they make one feel so nice and

such practices are exceedingly ris

UUI GO 1118 flUlol UdOGO. Everyone who has had experience with

to cure such real, deep-seated blood diseases as 8. S. S. cures, and none can
offer-such incontrovertible evidenceof merit. S 8. 8. is not merely a tome—it
is a cure I It goes down to the very seat of all blood diseases, and gets at the
foundation of the very worst cases,and routsthe poison from the system. Itdoes
not, like other remedies, dry up the poison and hide it from view temporarily,
only to break forth again more violently than ever; 8. 8. S forces out every
trace of taint, and rids the system of it forever.
Mrs.T. W. Lee,Montgomery, Ala., writes: “Someyears
ago I was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected
my babe with blood taint. I was covered with sores and J
ulcers from head to foot, and in my greatextremity I prayed
to die. Several prominent physicians treated me. but all “’w ~ vw
