The Negro in Politics.
Han. W. A. Covington, candi¬
date for representative over in
Cokjuitt, delivered the following
address to a meeting at Funston
one night last week;
Fellow Citizens;—In my speech
opening up my campaign at
Doerun last week, I stated that
I am in the favor of the passage
of a law in Georgia similar to the
one now in force in South Caro¬
lina, North Carolina and Ala¬
bama, restricting the negro’s
privilege of voting.
Since that time I am informed
that some of the people who are
opposing me, have ;said that
there is nothing in the state¬
ment of principles made at Doe
ruir, and so I logically judge
that they mean that they’re op¬
posed to doing anything that
will interfere with the political
status of the negro in Georgia.
My contention is that this is a
white man’s country, and that
as we have finally decided that
this is a white man’s country,
and that we are not going to sub¬
mit to negro office holding any
more, the privilege of voting
does the negro no good and does
us and the negro untold harm.
Most of you know that the
right to vote was given to the
negro without the consent of the
white people of the South. This
condition was rammed down our
throats when we were helpless
under the heel of the North.
I am able to prove that the
north—the common farmers of
the north—were not in favor of
the measure when it passed, al¬
though at that time there were
no negroes in the north to worry
them in politics. The truth is
that they voted—a majority of
them—against the measure; but
their politicians went ahead and
pissed the amendments that
conferred the right 1 to vote on the
negro. There never was a more
grievous blunder made by any
people. It has resulted in un¬
told calamities to both races in
the south.
Today the government will not
even Jet the Chinese enter the
country. The Chinese are far
and far away ahead of the negro
race government, in fact have
been running a government for
thousands of years; but the Chi
nese are rigidly excluded, and
the negro is put on a political
equality with the best citizens in
the state. The result has been
greatly destructive to the politi¬
cal morality of Georgia.
Before the l ight to vote was
given to the negro the country
knew next to nothing of rapers
and murder by the people of this
race. They were quiet and
peaceable, knew their place and
stayed in it. With notions of
political equality came notions of
social equality, came rapes, mur¬
ders and outrages until at pres¬
ent no woman in the country pre¬
cincts is safe, and the time must
soon come when conditions will
be so dangerous that the white
people will be compelled to move
to town where they can have po¬
lice protection for their wives
and girl children, and the coun¬
try will be entirely turned over
to the negroes,
Have not the wives and daugh¬
ters of our country people the
right to an unterrified existence?
Is not the peace and honor of
the poorest little white girl worth
more than all the negroes that
ever lived? And yet. since I
boldly took this stand at Doerun
there have been those who have
been trying to get the people to
believe that the law would in¬
clude some of the white people
as well. T1 is cannot fool many.
A law of this kind is in force in
North Carolina and in South Car¬
olina. They have put the negro
out of politics in these states, and
the privileges of no white man
are to the smallest extent inter¬
fered with. And the Supreme
court of the United States has
decided that they will not inter¬
fere with the law. On yester¬
day 1 was on the train with a
man from Alabama. He said,
“Why do not you Georgia people
pass a law like we have in Ala¬
bama; that will put the negro
aut of politics?” He then went
on to tell of how matters had
been simplified in tha ; state by
the passage of the law.
By some it is argued that our
white primary system is the
proper solution of this question.
To this I answer that the white
primary system does not pre¬
vent negroes from getting into
the Georgia ’egislature from the
counties that have more negro
voters than white voters. There
has perhaps not been a single
session of the Georgia legisla¬
ture since the war when a negro
was not sitting up there along
side the members of the white
counties. What good will a white
primary do in any county where
there are more negro voters than
there are white voters? Has the
white primary helped the situa¬
tion as to the number of rapes in
Georgia?
I am satisfied that Georgia
ought to pass the laws that have
bem passed in South and North
Carolina and so remove this cor¬
rupting influence from our body
politic, and so take away from
the rising generation the notion
that the negro is the political
and the social equal of the white
man; and should I go the legisla¬
ture from Colquitt, I shall take
pleasure in introducing such a
bill and working for its passage
into law.
I am entirely positive that the
people of Georgia are ready for
it. I am not afraid to go before
the people of any county in
Georgia with argument for it.
The farmers of Georgia are en¬
titled to a protective measure of
this kind. The farmers of Col¬
quitt county, especially need it,
and they will vote for a man who
wants them to have it; and they
will not vote for a man who says
they do not net d it. They have
decided that the law is needful
and proper, and no man can get
their suffrages who says that
there is nothing in the proposi¬
tion to give them relief.
Are You a Dyspeptic?
If you are a dyspeptic you owe it to
yourself and your friends to get well.
Dyspepsia annoys the dyspeptic's friends
because his disease sours liis disposition
as well as his stomach. Kodol Dyspep¬
sia Cure will not only cure dyspepsia, in¬
digestion and sour stomach, but this pa¬
latable, reconstructive tonic digestant
strengthens the whole digestive appa¬
ratus, and sweetens the life as well as
the stomach. When you take Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure the food you eat is en¬
joyed. It. is digested, assimilated and
its nutrient properties appropriated by
the blood and tissues. Health is the
result. Sold by Lewis Drug Co.
The Rome Tribune voices our
sentiments exactly when it de¬
clares that it “has sworn alleg¬
iance to no boom, but the anti
Roosevelt boom, and to no band
wagon but the good old demo¬
cratic band wagon.”
Sciatic Rheumatism cured.
“I have been subject to sciatic rheu¬
matism for years,” says E. H. Waldron,
of Wilton Junction, Iowa. “My joints
were stiff and gave me much pain and
discomfort. My joints would crack
when I straightened up. I used Cham¬
berlain’s Pain Balm and have been thor
ougldy cured. Have not had a pain
or ache from the old trouble for many
months. It is certainly a most wonder¬
ful liniment.” For sale by Lewis Drug
