ASHEVILLE SHOWS THE

Last week two young colored

ccitement and feeling.. Hower,
the authorities were * derm
in ed that civilization should

in an orderly manner. Evy
precaution was taken against
>ssible mob action?for every
nsible person realizes that^ivzation
cannot be preserved or
tri'ied forward via the mob
lite.
The trials were orderly and
'eryth ing- was done to give the
:cused a fair and impartial'

it? The crime charged is onejt
of the easiest to make and the i
hai-Hpst tn Hisprnvp When a>
jury of White men say that one;"
accused of criminal assault on a,
woman of their race, that one |
certainly is innocent. ?
It ought be. noticed -too that
this occured in the South where
it is popularly supposed that to,
accuse a colored person of a~h
crime is to convict him. That
kind of blink ought begin to
pass. The chances of fairness
may be less in some particular;
sections but it certainly is not:
a Southern condition today, j

tion of the white Southerner to 1
see that justice in the^courfcs is
not tinged with the color-line is 1
greater today than _ever._^n
