General Race News
ORGANIZE FOR PROTECTION
—MANHOOD AWAKENING
Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 14.—Sheriff
Rheberg of this city, upon complaint
of Sidney McRae, a farmer of this
county, who, while returning home
from Boston Friday night, was fired
upon by some one from ambush, ar
rested two innocent race men whom
he claimed to suspect of the shooting.
There is positively no evidence
against the accused. The shooting oc
curred at night and the alleged as
sassins are impossible of identifica
tion. Noth withstanding this aston
ishing truth, the crime, as usual,
falls upon the defenseless. At the
courthouse there is talk of lynching,
but the race is organized to defend
their lives and those who may be in
the custory of the law. “We are going
to stop lynching if we have to die
to the man. Unless we fight and de
fend our homes we will be murdered
one by one by a lawless rabble that
is a disgrace to the South. Fully real
izing these truths, we are prepared
to fight, and fight to the bitter end.
Our lives are unsafe and those of
our families while race-hating mur
derers are allowed immunity from i
punishment under a Jim Crow gov
ernment. We are going to fight, and
we want the world to know it. ‘Liber
ty or death!’ is the slogan. The spirit
of manhood won freedom for our
fathers and, banded together, we are
going to free Georgia of lynch law,”
said a brave race man here today.
MEMPHIS REPUBLICANS
WANT CHURCH.
Memphis, Term., Jan 28.—Republi
cans of Shelby county and Tenth Con
gressional districts are up in arms be
cause they believe that Robert R.
Church, Jr., was a victim of treach
ery at the recent meeting of the Re
publican executive committee in Nash
ville. It was promised by the Cal
houn contingency, which is the fac
tion in favor with Charles D. Hilles,
national committee chairman, that
Mr. Church would be elected to a
place on the State executive commit
tee.
The Memphis “Big Four,” Gen.
Sami. L. Calhoun, R. R. Church, Jr.,
Frank S. Elgin, ex-U. S. marshal,
and Dr. J. T. Spence, collector of
customs, were said to be in harmony
and agreed on Church for the vacancy
from the Tenth district, but at the
last moment the three white men
went back on Church and Elgin was
elected.
Notwithstanding this action the lo
cal Republicans declare that Mr.
Church will be the delegate from this
district to the National Republican
Convention at Chicago June 7. He
was a delegate to the last convention
and made a good record.
