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.
