Mr. Ste viMi on said to Ih^Im with that the cruelty of burning persons alive did not ucifilnate with the fynohera but was first aUtrorhuxi aiut ?i riled out by the States of .rtw*? North, wltltxii Ivb<1 sold the negro slaves to the South. As proof of thta faot he cited tho record of the case vof a negro who waa burned alive by the order of n court of the State of New York in 1712 It wan In the North and not in the South tlmt the burning of nejcroe* alive by law began. When the South purchased the negro slaves from the North it modified the law ?<> that when the Civil Wftr.cawc there was only one crime In any Southern state for which :i negro eonhf he burned alive and that was for I he murder of his muster ami In most of (he Southern States tlmt form of punishment hud l/oen abolished at together. Mr. Sirvi'iisoii in answer to :i (|th>-; Hon from It^iresentaf he Hlrd of Kan sas. did ho wish -to ]>erpctuutc lynch Ing. ho (Jt'O)uml (hat- South Carolina to doing more to stanyp out this erlmV than Kansas Is (loins'. How (lid -lynching origin tto? The first lynching word In South Carolina, lio said, was the shooting to death of a one armed Confederate soldier, .Mhtt Stevons, hy a company of 10 negro militiamen belonging to the CuriH*t Has government of the State in 1871. Ste veus driving a wagon loaded with whin key was met on the highway hy those armed negroes who demanded the whis key. He resisted aixd was lynched but the antilyivching hill in the house would not touch that ease for Stevens was not accusal of a c$me nor wo* he taken from the custody of officers. But then and there was oallcd forth the deepest curse, which we are struggling jo overcome. The white people of the community rose up, dis armed those negroes and put them in jaiK The Carpet Rag government ot once undertook to release them. The white people then looked into the mat ter and hung those they deemed guilty and liberated the other#?. Kver since that day the people of South Carolina, declared Mr. steven son have been fighting the opinio of lynching. What has been the* outcome? "Let me," snid lie, "give you twenty- 1 ?five years of history, so that you will see whether you are any better under the Federal statute." From 18JH to 1808, five years, there were 30 lynCh 4ngs in the State. From 1890 to 100.3 there were 10 lynchtngs. From 1904 to 1008 (there were 15 lynching*. From :*-9Q0. iS .19)l3 there irere 11 lynchings. 1' rom 1014 to 1018 there were 8 lynch-' Ings ami in theyear 1010 there were only two lynchings. Judging hy this steady decrease in the u umber of lynching*, Mr. Stevenson asked the house if It could say that South Carolina is not trying to main tain the dignity of the law arid pro tect the man accused of a crime. On the other hand he pointed to the race riots that have occurred In the last five years in New York, Spring field, 111, Ka?t St. Louis? Chicago and Washington, He said that more peo "plo had l>eeu killed in. these riots than hjad b?o? lynched in South CaioHaa ijl ihi) ? J QU.fr suu>mu< ? ^ a. f, , ? j - ? - ?"??Vv ?? jjTaTS, JCl UMlIf V/i these Hots came within the terms of this bill and what is more such bloody riots do not now occur in the South. He -said if the Mil ' became a law the governor of a Stute could be lui priaojKKl for his failure to protect a prisoner. The police officers of every eity, town and hamlet in vthe country would be liable to arrest and congresA oould provide for others to take their places and concentrate all authority in Washington. And the only reason for thia bill is that some people have appointed themselves guardian of the negro. He drew, u psychological picture of what takes in a rural community when a blade brute outrages aU unprotected school girl on the highway or a lonely farmer's wife and asked, "Do you *t*p VCM IT you pass this bill you will better this awful thing? Mr, Stevenson then concluded with a solemn warning to the Republicans to the house. He safd, "We have been dealing with this ertl and gout* Caro ls has made great progress. Too will only foment agitation sad resent ment by this bill. The juries will be the same no matter la what court you can thfe case. The State authorities eease to enforce their law*, shift ing the harden on the national gov mrntnt. with the result that local co opert'fJfcn be paralyzed, and the latter <*d <rf the toatter wtt be worse than the fli it" ? Court e?y and Modkvily, The, pNl South ha* long wince breu deud, and ouly h faint memory of it now remain* in the minds ot' mon. Ttinv a re juium.ii us Just a few <tU nun and (?M women who livf>| in It, suffering tor it, and still intchM-ly love It. But they arc fust fliaxslug on, ami Ip u few years will alt be gone. ami then tumo will be left t? rov?f? it. The worhl would btt lnfb nltely better- off, and life would bo tweeter. and happier, If some of the thingw that llvtnl fn t lu? old South would nover die. It had many high and Ivoly customs in tho dally life of its children, hut Its chief glory was the gentle ^ourtesy of It# won, and tlie sweet modesty of its women. It* tueu eaeh day were gentlemen in the noblest sense, and all tH women eaeh day were modest hi the holiest seu?H>. Reverence for sacred things, vetipect for age, polished urbanity of manner (> sweetness of temper, and dof><i?, abid ing, pure homagt* for woman, were the Itiefff u'oahle qualities of the minds and lionets of the men of those ffoyw- And the women. In the ttUfMBC I and holiest sense, .Were worthy of the' meiv. They heid their eharaetors, and deep In their soQls, that sweet mod jViJily which is the ineffable glory of the juuv woman. Tho I wnji ?n took, the paltttea faee, the indecent dyers', were lA impossible for the w'onrin of tho old South, as th?\v arc for the angels lu heaven. *v . And they ought to be impossible among us t?>day. Homebody ought to fcaeh some of our young W 'men about the finer and happier- things of Hfo they are mining. Imniod<"0ty In tlu> woman will always attract the eyes of the man, as it always has. tn all the history of the world, but it never has, and never will, attract his heart. It may obtain his attention, but it will never . obtain his respect. The woman who la immodest, places an impassable gulf bJBben lior*elf and the reflect. aud affection of a real gentleman. Tiie finest and noblest qu i lily In a ?true man lies dormant in his mind and hear*. and can only be brought to life aud actlvilty by a mode,st wo man. The highest and holiest trse fulness and happiness df a true wo foatn can never be obtained In this life or in tho life to come, unless she succeed* in awaking tills. thing that lies dormant in the man. <Jod has linked courtesy and mod' esty together. Jnst as He lifts linked the destiny of the man and the wo man together. When modesty dletf, courtesy dies also. When there are in this world ?o more modest, women, there will then be in this world no inoro go nit) omen. * ? There ought to be (preached In the pulpits and taught In the schools, and above all,, lived In the hornet, a rev! vnl of lint old-?iijtiLLoned._eoiirtcsy and ! modeflty of the old South. If our boya are not. to be courteous anw more, and our girls- are not to be modest any more, then most of the hoi>e atfA hap piness of life are gone.- -John I).
