Gen. Wille Jones has | !. been vindicated The only way to stop lynching in the South is to stop the horrible crime J that causes the people to take the law j in their own hands. We extend our condolence to all candidates who failed to reach the goal of ambition, but they can try it again when two years roll around. If we are in order we move to make I the Georgiaelection'unamimouii. Hoke J ' Smith came very near getting every thing in sight, and he ought .to have | the balance to restore harmony. The Atlanta Journal threatens | those Georgia congressmen who did) y not vote for Hoke Smith in the prim ary with retirement from office two years from now. This is a poor way to bring harmony to the party. If we believe all the papers said about Hoke Smith before the primary ?we must conclude that Georgia will have one of the lowest of men for gov ernor when he goes in. But then the papers don't always tell the truth about candidates. The white fiend over in Aiken County who assaulted the lady he was escorting should have his neck broken | as quick as he can be tried and convic ted. He claims that be was drunk when he committed the crime ard that if he gets out of this scrape he will cut whiske). Such an excus3 is] ?lot worth considering. If every business man in our town could do business on a strictly cash system it would be a blessing to us all. If we all had to pay cash we would learn to live within our means. It would save business men the ex pense of bookkeepers and the loss o( bad debts all of which some one has | to pay for. If our town could gradu ally work into a strictly cash system j it would be better for us alL Rev. S. A. Nettles, editor of the I Southern Christian Advocate, is one preacher that the bar-room press can't | fool with thnir high license prohibi tion coalition. In a recent issue of I his paper he says "until we cm get prohibition our opinion is that the) dispensary is the best (or if one of our friends prefer to express it differently the least objectionable) whiskey we can get." That is our platform ex actly. Ansel beat Manning all to pieces in Charleston. Ansel got 1,318 votes against 408 votes for Manning. If those blind tiger people in Charleston are voting for Ansel under the impres sion that he will wink at their viola tion of law if he is elected we think they will find themselves mistaken. We beleive that either Manning or Ansel will do all they can to enforce the dispensary law when he becomes governor Mail carriers have no authority to] trespass upon private property andj the postal law gives them no spec ial rights or privileges as regard the use of roads. The law prohibits any willful Interference with the perfor mance of postal service, but such pro hibition dees not authorize mail car riers to disregard state laws or muni cipal ordinances as regards the use of tthe public roarts, nor authorizes them to willfully interfere with the rightful use of public roads, by both parties. For one crime, and one crime only, we believe lynching, before the law can intervene, to be not only right, but necessary. The work of putting to death the dangerous brute should be done soberly and decently, even solemly, but relentlessly, as a thing re quired for the protection of homes and families, but with circumstances re flecting on the reputation of the com munity for propriety and humanity as lightly as possible. In the above the Eichmond News-Leader expresses our sentiments precisely. The truth is beginning to come out now about the election in 1896 when Bryan was first defeated for the pres idency ann the back bone of the demo cratic party broken. It is admitted by men who eppossed Bryan at that time that he was cheated out of the elec tion, that frauds in Gbio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and other States stuffed ballot boxes and all kinds of tricks known to dirty politics were] used to turn the scale, when in reality the people had chosen the great Com monor to be their president. His plur ality vote was greater than McKin-J ley's as it was, b>.t the electoral vote Captain Wir* a Martyr. Because the women of the South are making an effort to collect the necessary funds for erecting a monu ment to the memory of Captain Wirz, who sugerei a vicarious martydom, I beiDg made a scapegoat for the pov erty of the Confederacy due to the b ederal blockade, the Boston Evening Trameiipt under the heading "A Mis taken Memorial," indulges editorially, in the following mistaken arraignment of the dead. It does not, it says, wish to go into the horrors of Anderson ville for which Wirz was guilty, but thinks it sufficient to state that "the first prisoners were brought to Ander sonville Feb. 15,1864; the war ended in April, 1865; yet the national ceme tary (at Andersonville contains the bodies of nearly 14,000 Union soldiers who succumbed to starvation or neg lect while prisoners of war there. Toset opposite these graves a statue of Wirz will provoke indignation which we hope will not be limited to the North. The Grand Army have sent a protest to the United Confed erate Veterans against the Wirz mon | ument project. We hope the Confed | erate veterans will see the worse than unwisdom of honoring Wirz as a '?martyr" and throw their influence against any movement having that object in view." The Transcript is cheeky. If Captain Wirz i8;not a martyr we would like to know what he is. What are the facts in the case? During the war the total number of Federal prisoners cap tured by the Confederates was 270,000 as shown by the official records at Washington. The whole number of Confederate prisoners captured by the Federals was 220,000, according to the same authority. It will be seen that the Confederates captured 50,000 more prisoners than the Federals. The number of Federals who died in, Con - federates prisons was 22,576 and the number of Confederates who died in Federal prisons was26,436. So it ap pears from the offTcial records that more than twelve per cent of the Con federate prisoners in Federal prisons died and less than nine per cent of the Federal prisonejs in Confederate pris ons died- The Transcript says 14,000 Union soldiers died of "starvation" at Andersonville?"starvation!; or ne glect." This is knowingly untrue They died of inadequate food and lack of medicament, just as Confederate soldiers were dying in the ranks from the same causes, due to the Federal blockade and the extremely limited resources of the Southern Confederacy the latter years of the war. Moreover, the Confederate govern meno negotiated an exchange of thousands of Andersonville prisoners am marched to the coast, where, they found no ships to receive them, it hav ing been decided that Grant's policy of "wearing out" the Confederacy by ceasing to make exchanges was the only feasible one and the poor feeble forsaken prisoners of the North lifted up their voices and cursed the inhum anity of the government for which they had fought. Gen. ?. S. Grant, on August sent the following telegram to Gen. B. F. Butler "On the sub ject of exchange, however, I difiei with Gen. Hitchcock. It is hard on our men held in Southern prisons not to release them but it is humanity to those left in our ranks to fight oui battles, To commence a system ex change now which liberates all pris oners taken we will have to fight un til the whole South is exterminated. If we had those already caught they amount to no more than dead men. At this particular time^ to release all rebel prisoners would insure Sherman's de feat and compromise our safety here." There was no exchange and therefore Gen. Grant, and not Capt. Wirz, was responsible for the suffering of Feder al soldiers in Confederate prisons. Appeals to Nefrroea. In a strong and clear editorial John Temple Graves, in the Atlanta Geor gian, appeals to the negro writers, preachers and teachers of the South, for their wholehearted and earnest co-operation with the white race in its effort to find a remedy or a check for the horrible crimes of the negro against the white women of the coun try. Mr. Graves says truthfully "One thing which the white man has nev* er had in the effort to suppress the negro fiends who assault while women is the full cooperation of the negroes who lead the race." \\ e all know that this broad statement is absolutely true. And as the Spartanburg Herald says 'it is a serious charge against the in telligent negroes who occupy positions of leadership among their people- We all know the bitter denunciation the colored editor and preacher has for lynching. What they have to say about lynching and lynchers is intend ed for the white people to read and hear. But we do not hear what fcLe. negro preacher up before his congre gat ion has to say to the negroes before him, warning them against the com mission of this horrible crime which threatens the ultimate destuction of the race. '?The negro leader's ministry is t( the members of h*s race and if hi would honestly combat Ivrr^hing < should attack the root of the evil. He should thiow his influmce into a sin cere effort to remove tl e cause. The lustful worthless negro s the cause of lawlessnes and unless ?i ch characters are denounced and res" rained by the more respectable and c ecent members of the race their sins will be visited upon all negroes alike.^li js ihe Chris tian, as well as the patriotic tuty of the negroes who view from Ligher ground the true conditions in the a?uth. so throw the full force of their influence on the side of right, juet them preach and teach their peopjt the deep damnation of the crime which threatens their own destruction at the bands of the white men, if it is not checked, and awaken in ihem con demnation of the deea.
