4Grauny,v Blair, of educational
memory is busying his brum with
the South and its lynchings. V
have not read or heard that he in
trying in any way to induce the
negroes to stop their cruel assaults
upon women and children that
provoke the lynchings. If i)r.
Blair were a genuine practitioner
he would seek the cause, would di
agnose before applying a remedy.
Bui he is a born quack and he pro
poses to stop lynching by legisla
tion, by Congressional investiga
tion or some other fruitless meth
od, instead of ending them by end
ing the hellish crimes that cause
the lynchings. A dispatch in the
New York Evening Post from
Washington says :
"Since it was introduced many
communications on tho subject
have come to Mr.' Blair. Most of
the letters are from religious bod
ies and from organizations of col
ored people. The colored people
North and South seem to be great
ly interested in the matter, and
resolutions have come from meet
ings held at New York and many
citizens between those two."
Congress may investigate, con
ventions may sit, orators may
spout, newspapers may publiah de
nunciations, laws may "oe enacted,
but so long as the persons and
lives of Southern white women and
girls are not safe fiom the black
beasts that roam and murder and
assault, the sharp Judge Lynch
will surely continue and with un-
flaging activity and swiftness.

En. Courlkb : After six months
experience in this state, I will of
fer to the Courier a few dots for
publication. Health is good ; you
can lie down on the ground in th
open praries and sleep night after
night with out the least symptoms
of taking cold.
Ciops are exceedingly line, es
pecially the cotton crop. The farm
er! of this county were anticipat
ing a bale of cotton to an acre.but
owing to Ihe destruction of the
bole worms they have brought this
estimate down. The noil is from
six to eight feet deep and as black
as any African negro you ever
saw. ,
If there is anything 1 cau boom
Texas on, it is health, society ant!
schools. They have nine months
of free school every year.
Dear readers, I am really
ashamed to try to represent our
old state, the Ixne Star is ahead
of North Carolina iu every respect ;
but I boom. her up just the same,
as the proverb of (iartield : 'A
pound of pluck is worth a ton of
luck"
You are all under the wrong im
pression-about this country. 1
never was so badlv fooled' in my
life. The. people here in thi part
are more civilized than the people
hack there. They are just as so
ciable and refined as can be; but
about 250 miles west among tht
Mexicans," Cowboys and Indians,
they rove the plain's with the fiix
shooters and Winchesters, regard
less of any herealter. Uut they
are becoming more 'civilized day
by day, :" because the laws of the
state are being strongly enforced
If you are caught with a six-sho-t
er on your person or one in y iir
saddle pockets hero you are pulled
for all you are worth. The penal
ty is a penitentiary crime. Tii.-iv
is no state in the Union has any
better government than this. All
the state and county, otlicers are
elected by the people and to-day
they have 111 the county treasury
of this county $2,500, while you
all know the condition of ,u
county. The county doesn't have to pay
the cost of criminals, and two
prices for every bridge across al 1
the spring branches.
