A, Soon mt vol Who Wanta to be Ijynohod Rattly. Tho Columbia Record says Wednes day morning a negro carponter entic ed thc ton-year-old daughter of a well known white oil.' / m Into a building where he was working. There he in sulted the little girl sevoral times, with grossly immoral suggestions and ob.'icene aotlons. Sho told her father of the ocourrenco and ho started Im mediately for the nenne. A shooting i ir ray that would have terminated fatally, for the neg'o, at least, was probably averted by tho appearance of a policeman just before tho father's arrival. Tho negro was looked up forthwith and shortly afterward was given a hearing before olty recorder. Record er Stanley was very sorry that he oould not impose a punishment in keeping with tho prisoner's offense, but he gave thc bruto all that the law allowed, a sentenco of 8100 tine or thirty days, with ten minutos at the cxolration of his time on the gang in willoh to leave the city, never to re turn. The caso was heard in the of tico of Chief of Police Daly, so as to avoid a sensation. Probably this pre caution avorted at least an attempt at summary violonce by outraged eltl/.cns. Tho names in the case will be withheld from the public, at the request of Recorder Stanley and Chief Daly, an trouble might develop If the faots were generally known. Tho ne gro was hoared half to death and glad ly promised to leave thc city for good tho minute ho ls released. While tho brute's aotlons were BU3b as would n ako tho blood of overy good citizen bull with Indignation, bc did not got far enough to bring the caso within tho jurisdiction of the gcuoral sessions oourt.

H* M KD Y l'KOfOSIU) TO HAVM OVH . WOMEN FROM Bli Adi BRUTES* The Editor of The Georgian Writes ^Forcefully ou This AH-*,b norbing Question. In disouBSlng the frequency ot as saults on whits women by negroes in tho South the Atlanta Georgian says we bavs loarnod the great truth that lynching doss not stop the orlme against our women. We have roached by elimination the oonolusion that other experiments must bo trlod to intimidate tho criminals of the negro race. O e of the most hopeful of these ex pori monts seemB to be a statute au thorizing the mutilation of the orlmi nal and the branding of bim on the forehead with the letter "lt," sign in cant of his orlme and making him an objeot of suspicion for tho rest of time Tho other experiment ls to dovlse some new and mysterious form of pun ishment wrapped in darkness and lu mystery which will appeal to the ter ror and to tho superstition of the orimlnal negro. But beyond these and above these and moro potential than all others, ls tbe stern and insistent demand of our white civilization that the leaders of tbe negro race shall givo us from this time forth that co oporatlon which they have heretofore refused. The South is g-owlng Indignantly tlrod of negro tirades in oontral oitles against the lawloRsnes8 of lynching. Wo are tlrod of negro platitudes and r?solu ?Inns agaluBt tho injustioo of tbe South toward the negr ). And we have utterly lost patience with these pad tlc preachments which ory cut for law and order on the part of tho white man, whilo they spend no timo nor breath nor effort In tbuuiering to their owu people the earnest and pas sionate denunciation of these crimi nals who make the ohief tension and tho deadly friotlon botweon the ra ces. Now see here: The South has for 25 years befriended tho negroes in every prattloal way. We have helped to sustain their schools, we have burled their dead and helped to ma.ntain their living sometimes in idleness and sometimes in want But now as one unit In the mass of Southern senti ment, The Georgian lifts Its voice and protests that henceforward it will give no dollar and lend no aid and no co operation to auy negro institution until its c Moers, Its preachers, Its touchers and Its editors shall j dn with us in thundering Into the ears of thc negro raoo the warning and denuncia tion of this horrible orlme. Without passion, or at least with out passion which is not richly due and justified, wc ask our breathrcn of the Southern press and cur (Jaucasiuu friends and brethren tverywhere to lake this ?rm and unaltcrabrc stand -that they will help no negro church, newspaper or sohool until they know that its preachers, its teachers and Its editors in those institutions are thundering the doctrino of hell and damnation to tho assailants of white women. Now this ls fair. It is just, and it is right. The South ls living under a shadow whtoh no mau eau estimate. Men whoso publio meetings are held at home because they aro afraid to leavt their families alone even in the shel ter and sanotlty of their own bornes after nightfall, filen oinnot go to ohuroh for tbe same reason. And this, please God, is the South. Wo are a free pcoplo and a great oouutry. Are we to live forever under this shadow and under this terror? Aro wo to sit still and help to build up those negro institutions when they are silent and apathetic toward the peril in whleh their oriminals put the best element of our race? Are wo to oo operate with these people to build up institu tions when they are ?Hont and apa bbetlo toward the peril In wbloh they do not preach the enormity of these offenses? Are w) to be forever hold lu astate of Beige with our women, trembling in fear and terror when they are alone? Is the liberty which our fathers bought with their blood to be surrendered to tho foul terror of an alien and subordinate raoe? We tell these teaohcrs, these preaobors and these editors trat they have the most vital Interest in th h. atfair. If the boundaries of restraint are ever broken by this Caucasian race in a wild spirit of retaliation for a condition which imprisons and terri Ilea the noblest wore cu of the world, they themselves will he whelmed in thc tidal waye whioh follows. And wo say here and now to Book er Washington, to Gaines, and Turner tu Proctor and to Stlnson, and to the rest of those who aro so eager to ru h Into print to plead for law and ordor; that If they have any regard for tho future of their race and for thom selves, they will take tho hint which is not unkindly sent from this arous ed and Indignant race of Caucasians, and will stand shoulder to shoulder with us in demanding that every proaoher in ever oountry pulpit and every t Tbor of every little 2x4 sicct and thu. overy tcachor in the city and country school Bhall devote some part of his sermon or some portion of hiB editorial, or some segment of his scholastic hours GO preaching hell and damnation to all who are guilty of this fiendish crime. We assure theso men that the Caucasian sentiment of this coun try as lt never was before. We need not and will nob continuo to have our worner live under the shadow of this fiendish ne gro lust. We aro going to free our women, no matter what tho cost may be to another race. There is no wild ness of passion and radicalism in this announcement. If tbcBo men know anything they know that we demand lt, and they know that demand in firmly stern and earnest. But SB long as they continue to howl resolutions resolutions against lynching, and or ate against lawlessness willie thoy are shamefully silent toward tho orimes which prod nco the mob then the baek of our hand is against them and ali that they represent.

Last winter on the floor ot tho House the assertion wits boldly made by Representative John Sharp Wil liams-for oven Mr. William's most ordinary remarks are said with an air of boldness-that the next House would be Demoratio by an easv ma jority. Although ouch will probably not be the case with the Sixtieth Congress, lt ls now generally conceded by Republican loaders, and the ad* ministration at Washington, tbat the large Republican majority they enjoyed during the last session will be materially lessened. It la admit* ted that forty Republican seats will be lost to tho next housee. The New York Herald lints them as follows: California. 3 Delaware. 1 Illinois. . 7 Indiana. 2 Iowa. 1 IC on tuck ty. 1 Michigan. 1 Minn "?ota. 1 Missouri. 8 Nebraska. 1 Now Jorsoy. 2 Now York. 8 North Carolina . 1 Ohio. 3 Tennslyvania. 2 Upon the suvJoctof the Democrats' chances of securing a majority In the House The Herald further says: "It is frankly admitted that no liv lng man who fools there will be a loss of forty Congressional districts to his party oan safely make the predlotlon that the loss will not be fifty or per haps moro, a loss of fifty-six districts would tlo tho nouse. This ls due entirely to almost unparrelled condi tions which provall in the Republican party organ'zitions in a don m states aud to agitation along Socialistic lines for the destruction of partiea which ls now sweoplng along Ilks a prairie fire." It will bo seen tbat theno dlstrlots, which aro conceded as lost to tho R? publicans in the next d?cidons ar? mainly those whloh wore oirried dur ing tho laudslide in favor of Mr Roosevelt, in thc o?mpalgn in whloh tue main Issue was Roosevelt himself Tho Herald goes on to say that with serious troubles in Now York, New Jersey, Ohio. Fonnslyvania, Massa chu8cttB and Iowa, the situation 1M more serious to the Republicans than one would at Qrst suppose. Taking acoouut of this situation, it has been suggested that lt adds another very important reason from the Rpubli can standpoint, why President Roosevelt shruld again be ontered for tho campaign of 1908. Many Ra publican leade rs still believe that his popu'arlty would again swoop thc oountry. TERR?dL? MISTAKE. Saint Louie Woman Hont "YOB" to tho Wrong MAD, A dispatoh from Sb.

When Ure serpent had recovered lt said: "Divine prophet, listen. I am now geing to blto theo." "Why, pray?" Inquired Mohammed. "Because thy race persecutes mino and tries to stamp lt out" "But doos not Uiy race, too, make perpetual war against mino7" was tho prophet's rejoinder. "How canst thou, besides, bc so ungrateful and so soon forget that I saved thy Ufo?" "There ls no such thing as gratltudo upon this earth," replied thj serpent, "and If I were now to spare Uieo either thou or another of thy raco would kill mo. By Allah, I shull blto theo." "If thou hast sworn by Allah, I will not cause thee to break thy vow," said the prophet, holding his hand to tba serpent's mouth. Tho serpent blt him, but he sucked the wound with his lips and spat thc venom on tho ground.

OLOHK 1'IUMAIUK8 IN A JU i SI ATI] Hov? tho Vote Stov? Tn i ho )nti% and Peoond Primariet, For feveral Years By rr quest we publish the results of several primaries held in this State in the last ton years in which there we sharp oontests. The first ore we Rive occurred in 1890 vbou Messrs. Evans, Eirle and Dunoan contested for ?scat In the UnitedStates Senate. Tho vote in the first primary was as follows: BvanB. 88.391 Ewle. 30 083 Dunoan. 8 309 Total vote. 77 713 Evana only laoked 481 votes to oleot bim, ard it did look as If he ou#ht to not them out of .Dunoan'6 8 309 votes, but be did not as the following result in the second primary shows: Mirle. 43 323 limns . 40.100 Total volo.. 83 489 Evans lucre unod his vote la the second primary only 1 776 voten, while Earle lnoreasod his 11,337 vote?, giving him the nomination by a mnjorlty of 3.167 over Evans. The result was a great disappointment to tho friends of Evaua, who were cor Qdent that their oandidate from his big lead In the ?rst primary would be an easy wlnuer lu the eeoond. We will next, consider the primary of 1808 when B 'erbe was nominated over Featherstone, the prohibition oindldate. In the first primary the vote was as follows. Ellerbe. 29 279 Featherstone. 17 0 .0 Tillman. ll 491 Sohumpert. 7 082 Watson. 7 240 Total vote. 73.308 Of the total vote east EUerbu re oelvod 20 279 against 44,029 given to the other four candidates. He lacked 7 376 votes to nominate him. The uext highest oandidate was Feather stone and he lacked 19,038, having received 11,003 votes loss than Kllerbe. In tho faootf such a lead as that it would seem that E'lorbe would win with a big mr J rity but iie did not, as ho barely got in by a majority of 1,980 over Featherstone as the following vote In tho seoond primary shows: Kllerbe. 31,428 Featherstone. 29 442 Tctal vote. 00,870 Tho vote foll off nearly 13,000 from tho first to tbo sioond primary, but it will bo notlood that Feathorstono Inoreased his vote 11,820. while B 1er bo only Inoreased his 2,149. We will next consider the primary IQ which GD v. MoS weeney won over Col. Hoyt. Tue vote in first primary waa as follows: Mcsweeney. 39,097 Hoyt. 33 833 Ovry. 12,950 Patterson. 0 062 Whitman. . 491 Total vote. 92 429 O.' thei tota' vote ca?fr MoSweeney received 39 097 against 63,332 for the oVrmr four candidates. II) laoked 6,117 votes to nominate him. Tbe next nighest oandidate was Hoyt, and he lacked 11.820 votes to K?VO h'm a majority, he having reoelved 6,204 votes less than Mcsweeney. Hoyt's friends felt oontldbut that out of tho 63,3 32 votei east against MoSweeney their candidate would get enough to aomlnate him, but they were badly mistaken as the result of tho second primary shows. The voto in the se oond primary was as follows: Mi S veeney. 51,303 Hoyt. 37 412 Total vote. 88 775 The vote fell efl only 3 654 from the lind, to tho seoond palmary. Kc Sweoney inoreased his vo>. 12,200 whllo Hoyt inoreased his vote only 3 654. It will bo seen that Mc Sweeney was nominated by a ma Jori ty of 13.951 over Hoyt, who was the prohibition oandidate. Mc sweeney favored the dispensary, and so did Gary and Patterson, and in the second primary nearly all of theil vote went to Mcsweeney, whioh gave him the nomination.
