An accident which happened
Saturday at the Flint River gin¬

death of a negro man, by the
name of Ben Crooru. The negro
carelessly stuck his hand in the
gin, the gin caught his hand and
arms cutting off his fingers and
tearing the flesh from the arm up
to his shoulder.
The Old Coon was able to write
last week. We were all glad to
seS his letter.
Aunt Jane.
Communicated.
Mr. Editor:— Please allow me
the kindness that I may use this
space in your excellent paper to
satisfy the opinions of our white
friends who have always shown
us their appreciations.
I have hesitated in making any
statements concerning the so
called “Before Day Club.” Be¬
cause I regarded its perpetrators
the most infamous and criminal
beings that live.
And I have said too many times
that no happier and pleasanter
homes could be found in all
Southwest Georgia, than were in
Mitchell county.
After reading in some of our
leading journals the sad occur¬
rences, and the malicious at¬
tempts of some of my race who
seek to destroy the life, property
and invade the sancity of your
homes, I do, with all my heart,
denounce every coward who
makes himself less than a man,
and brings a reproach upon his
race.
Gentlemen, I do speak with
truth and honesty the colored peo¬
ple of Mitchell who labor for an
honest living and try to build up
themselves among you morally,
intellectually and enjoy your
confi lence, feel that it is thoir
duty to say that we take no part
in any thing that means misery,
crimes and disgrace to us.
The class of people wi o are
contmua’ly giving each race trou
ble is that idle mind which is
called the “devil’s work shop.”
But the best class who has char¬
acter, which is the motive powers
in the world, in its noblest em¬
bodiment, it exemplifies human
nature in its highest forms for it
exhibits man at his best.
Emerson says, “men of char¬
acter are the conscience of socie¬
ty to which they belong,” and
Martin Luther said, the prosper¬
ity of a country depends not upon
the abundance of its revenues
nor upon the strength of its forti¬
fication, noc upon the beauty of
its public buildings, but it con¬
sists in the number of its culti¬
vated citizens, morals and educa¬
tion. I am satisfied that you are
helping us to make ourselves bet¬
ter.
We hope that you will ever
think we are appreciating it.
Now as to some of the benevolent
societies in Mitchell county, they
are absolutely free from any
plana or purposes to work mis¬
chief in the homos of white
friends. The one that I hear
most unpleasant remarks about
is the “Supreme Circle.” I can¬
didly confess that we have no so¬
ciety among ua that teaches a
moral duty and lessons of right
better than it does. And as long
as 1 am identified with any or¬
ganization I intend to hold my¬
self in position to fight against
any attempt to shield my people
from the justice of law.
Yours truly,
J. I. Willi ams.
